What is your win for the day?

[missjenniebean]

With some of us not feeling like nesting and just wanting to sleep all day (myself included) what is your win for the day? What did you accomplish? Baby related or not baby related, let's hear it!


Though I haven't done the dishes yet....I FINALLY got my breast pump ordered. I've only been sitting on my prescription for about a month now....whoops....and I made an appointment to try on bridesmaid dresses. SCORE! Two for today.

I put on my big girl panties and went to my glucometer lesson. Poked my finger like a boss. All before 9 a.m.!

Before 9 A.M?! Double score in my opinion. How did it go?

[mrsmonogrammed]

I actually felt rested when I woke up this morning! AND I had mcdonalds breakfast (2 hash browns) and had my blood sugar #s w/in range! Woo!

[wormgerm]

Appointment started at 8. It was fine. I'm still bummed to have a complication, especially one requiring self monitoring 4x/day. But it will be ok. Are your fingers all bruised? I just noticed mine has a bruise where it got poked. I might try dropping the needle depth a notch next time.

My win for the day... I signed up for a prenatal Yoga Class for tonight after work with a friend... This way I have to go and cant back out... I am beyond exhausted but I'm happy to have someone going with me!!

Glad to hear it went well and pretty uneventful. I have no advice for the bruise but your idea might work!

I miss doing yoga, should have kept up with it during this pregnancy. Have fun! Should be quite relaxing, or so I hear!

Yesterday when I did DS's laundry I went so far as to throw his favourite stuffed animals in to give them a clean too...

I realize it's just laundry but our washer/dryer is in the basement and with a bruised feeling pelvis, doing stairs with my hands full multiple times feels like a win! Oh I also finished repotting my flowers in the backyard too!

It's only 8:30 and my pelvis feels worse today. So so far my win is getting dressed and having a content toddler. Will have to update later

[nettje]

I'm showered and not feeling like a zombie before 8:30 my time. This is a huge win for me. And DD is also dressed and didn't fight me this morning. Another win.

[belle0720]

I just got to work 1/2 hour ago and there's still barely anyone in the office. No wins yet for the day. I am about to walk downstairs to the café and get myself some breakfast though...soooo, win for my belly?

[missjenniebean]

Any win, no matter how small, matters! Glad to hear everyone has something so far hehe

budders, hope your day gets betters! Baby steps are all that matter.

dmoney - enjoy your class! I guarantee it will make you feel so relaxed! I absolutely love going to mine

I have done it before... I was sore as anything the next day. I am looking forward to it. Just kind of scared of the pain I know that I will be in tomorrow... But on the flip side since class is at 7pm I know that I will sleep well tonight!

[Deleted]

Well I got dressed and made it to the courthouse. Next goal is to stay awake until my case gets called.

[noeliav]

I'm present and accounted for, and upright in my office. Huge wins.

[bendherova]

I showered and washed and dried my hair.

I've also made nutragrain cereal bars from scratch, including the filling (did that a few days ago).


DS1 is also alive and I played transformers with him. (How come I always have to be the Decepticons?).

7 weeks into GD diagnosis.  I always use the deepest, and I tend to have maybe one bruised fingertip at a time (usually a pinky).

DS slept until after 9 AM.  Bliss.  That's my win for the day.  

Got DH's anniversary present wrapped - pants he requested and the musical Newsies (he was a newspaper boy when he was little, and he's been known to break out in songs from this one.)  We're going to Myrtle Beach tomorrow through Saturday mostly so I can swim (weather is supposed to be just about perfect), and I double checked to be sure our hotel has a DVD player.  Also need to put our anniversary wine in the fridge (I have sparkling grape juice in the trunk of the car already).  Really need to get my and DS's swim clothes in the wash, though.

Mine are not bruised by any means, I use the 2nd lowest setting-I definitely don't want to stab myself any deeper than necessary! But I do notice that some fingers need less pressure and some (like my thumb) need more. Good luck with your testing! Only a few more weeks of this and then we can stop stabbing ourselves 4+ times a day:)

[periwinkledaydreams]

I feel like a little bit of a winner today, because I managed to do 2 loads of laundry even though I have the remnants of a 3 day doozy of a migraine. And, one of the loads of laundry was my first and only load of clothes for baby, which I *THINK* was officially nesting kicking in.

Then I kept on winning because my dad came over and dropped off the bookcase and drawer set that my sister and I painted the other day, and I for fun set the stuffed frog and lovie I bought for LO (only thing besides the one load of laundry that I have for baby so far) on the bookcase and it matches PERFECTLY!


ETA a picture, because why not! Its in the hallway right now because the nursery is still full of boxes but hopefully that changes soon

I got the wild ass idea last night that I wanted to make the mobile for bub's crib. I eyed my work this morning, and it looks at least as good as some of the stuff I saw on Etsy. I'm not crafty by any means, but kind of pleased with myself this time haha. It's not totally heinous! Still not done, and naturally I worked on the mobile instead of doing shit I really should have been doing, but I still count it as a win!

[wormgerm]

Another win over here. I just won a box of Earth Mama Angel Baby postpartum herbs in a giveaway. I think it's so funny. Of all the silly little online giveaways I've entered my lucky draw is for the vagina tea!

[ThePalindromicOne]

I packed a gym bag for after work. The real win will be if I actually go - stay tuned.

[pghtruelove]

I made it to the vet with a dog and a cat. Hopefully u can make it through the apt with both of them not making me cry.

Pics or it didn't happen

[ladysif]

wormgerm definitely turn that thing down a notch! I have always had mine on the lowest setting and never get bruises. Sometimes I have to do it again if I'm not pressing it firmly because it doesn't puncture, but don't torture yourself unnecessarily.

[periwinkledaydreams]

I agree... I have mine set to 3 (out of 6 I think) and I have never had a bruise or even a mark at all!

No bruises. After a while you may notice callouses but if you rotate fingers it should be fine.

[whoopsadaisy]

Went to the DMV, got what I needed from them in under 3 hours and didn't kill anyone. Win!

[txngrl31]

Worked out today and called the insurance company about my pump!
