10 Things Tuesday - 5/19

[laurenlou83]

1. I don't want there to be anything "wrong", but I really wish there was a reason for my doctor to put me off work prior to this baby's arrival. I'm so checked out already.
2. I'm ridiculously excited about the new season of the Bachelorette. It is my guilty pleasure.
3. I had an initial phone interview yesterday with another company because I applied on a whim a couple of weeks ago when I was really hating my job. I figured what do I have to lose in pursuing them contacting me?!
4. It's with a company I interviewed with last year when we first moved to MI - it's more $$, 20 miles closer to home and would be amazing. Trying not to get my hopes up.
5. One of my best friends is being induced today and I'm praying everything goes well. They are also team green and I can't wait to hear boy or girl.
6. I already need a nap today. How the fuck is it only 11am!?
7. I've been crying lately over any and everything. stupid hormones.
8. I have a growth scan tomorrow and I can't wait to see the little guy and find out how big he is.
9. I had Sonic for the first time ever this past Saturday.
10. I called my sister last night and her first words are "are you in labor!?" I think I should get used to this whenever I call anyone these next few weeks.

[belle0720]

1) Today is my last day of work until I return from Maternity Leave at the end of the year! YESSSSS
2) There's a vintage fair downtown in the next town over on Sunday and I'm excited for it! They had tons of good stuff when we went last year.
3) Next weekend and the following weekend we were invited to a Birthday Party and Baptism for H's cousins' kids. We don't have any other plans but I told H that I don't want to go. I really don't want to be at one of H's family's large gatherings when I'm this big, plus they're about an hour away and in my mind that is just too far away from home when I'm 2-3 weeks within my due date.
4) I think baby is going to be born on June 16th.
5) I'm starting to think pregnancy has given me a 6th sense. I guessed that H's sister was pregnant weeks before she told anyone. I asked if H's godsister was pregnant(without even seeing her) weeks before anyone knew. And I won the guessing game for my friend's baby from her shower. I guessed that she would have a 7lbs 6oz girl on 05/11. Only difference was that she was 7lbs 8oz!
6) H and I would love if baby was born on June 20th. My birthday is Nov 20th, his is Feb 20th, and our anniversary is Jul 20th. So 20 is sort of our lucky number.
7) I hope that I'm not super lazy during maternity leave. I really want to get the house spotless and get some DIY projects done.
8) The fabric cutouts for the doll I'm making Baby have been sitting on our dining room table with the sewing machine all out for weeks now.
9) I wish I was better at sewing!
10) I also wish I could do calligraphy. I'm getting pretty good at fauxlligraphy though.

1. I'm wearing a shirt at work that I usually wear as a swimsuit cover-up. It's usually THAT big. Now, it actually fits.
2. Went to a breastfeeding class last night.
3. The other pregnant ladies in the class were clearly judging me for the grande iced coffee I brought. So many scathing looks.
4. Sorrynotsorry, gals. Homegirl needs caffeine if you're going to schedule a class until 9 pm on a Monday after work.
5. Every time I see a diagram of how much nipple goes in the baby's mouth during BFing, it makes me very uncomfortable.
6. I had a nice long cry last night. Not exactly sure why, but it started with my H saying he didn't do well on a test and me feeling very helpless.
7. I cried for a solid hour. But... I feel like I kind of just needed a nice long cry. Sort of refreshing?
8. Our Cocker Spaniel has started having lots of accidents in the house and is very anxious. I'm scared he'll start going downhill really quick, since that's how my dog that passed away a couple of years ago acted before he got really bad.
9. Our other dog has to have one of his ears rinsed and massaged every night. He is NOT a fan of us squirting liquid in his ear.
10. All of our window sills are covered in dead termites from the swarms last week. I just haven't had the energy to vacuum since they ended. Pretty gross.

Lame! Several girls in our Childbirth prep class brought coffee on Saturday morning.

[belle0720]

@kej0004 I tried to teach myself calligraphy before hiring someone to do it for our wedding invitations. It's really hard! I have taught myself how to fake it somewhat though with regular pens and I'm totally okay with that method.

[belle0720]

@kej0004 Oh yeah I definitely didn't try it out on the actual envelopes, they were fancy with a pearl shimmer and foiled liners! I had bought a calligraphy book before even getting our invitations and gave up quickly. The invitations were literally the only stressful part of wedding planning for me though! First there was a typo on the main invitation itself so they had to send new ones. Then the calligrapher took weeks longer than she quoted to finish the addresses before getting them back to me. And then I realized that she forgot to do the return addresses We ended up getting an address stamp instead because I didn't trust her to get them done in a timely manner. Then I apparently got the wrong kind of stamp ink and some of the return addresses smudged. And then the post office wouldn't let me hand cancel our invitations. I went back to my car and cried.

1. I have reconnected with my undergrad/grad school love of Ramen noodle. I want ALL the ramen all of a sudden.

2. I am annoyed I missed my last day of court yesterday. It was my last real work day before I'm on psuedo leave (desk work until baby arrives) and I feel like a slacker, even though I had a legit reason for not being there.

3. I have four different clients having meltdowns over things that are not even remotely melt down worthy today and I just can't.

4. DS's 2nd grade field trip was cancelled today because of rain so instead they are doing an all day pajama party with in class picnic and board games. It made my morning much easier that I didn't have to make him get dressed. MOTY right here.

5. I love Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan. Their chemistry is amazing and they always crack me up.

6. (see above) I am on the sofa watching trash TV in my pj's. I got tired of being in the bed so I had to move.

7. My mom came over yesterday with like 20 new outfits for DS2. She lost her mind in a consignment store apparently. We're going to have to change this childs clothes 3x a day, every day just to get him through using each NB and 0-3 size outfit once.

8. When baby moves, at this point, it hurts.

9. It's going to rain here every day for the next ten days. If I wanted to live in Seattle, I would move there. I'm over it.

10. I have run out of things to say and thinking about one more hurts my brain.

[Deleted]

@kej0004 I'm so sorry. my dog has had that a few times and it was a bladder infection both times so it might not be that bad

[wegrowsheep]

@jimbobcooter in Seattle's defense, it's supposed to be nice here for the next week

[jessila]

1. I forgot to bring a knife to eat my leftover steak from last night. So I just ate it barbarian style by taking huge bites off of it. I eat by myself on Tuesdays but someone might have seen through a window in passing.
1a. Now there is steak stuck in my teeth and I have no floss  

2. I had my work baby shower yesterday. I had 42 thank you notes to write for it. Now I have 27 left.

3. I wouldn't be as on top of those thank you notes except my family/friends baby shower is this upcoming Sunday. My guest list was over 40 people.

4. My friends from my old school (where I taught for 3 years) want to throw me a tiny shower/see me on June 6. I'll be 37 weeks pregnant. I have a feeling I'll be miserable but I miss them all so I said okay.

5. My DS already has enough 0-3 mo clothes to get him through at least 25 outfit changes without doing laundry. It's getting a bit ridiculous. I'll be trying to return things for store credit without a receipt because there's just too much.

6. I have a much greater appreciation for gift receipts after getting at least 20 more outfits last night.

7. I just remembered that there's leftover cake from my shower in one of the classrooms! Yes! Cake!

8. I look forward to 10 things Tuesday every week.

9. I haven't actually talking to my OB about leaving work a week early. But my lesson plans are sketched out through the date I chose and I already wrote sub plans.

10. Last night was the first time heartburn has really woken me up. I couldn't figure out what the hell was going on. Then I couldn't reach the tums because my belly got in the way. It was a very confusing 10 minutes at 4:15am.

[tiffbot]

1. There is 20 days until my due date today. I officially hit teens tomorrow. Holy..crap

2. I made it this far before my feet/ankles started swelling yesterday. Boo.

3. I could probably live off ice cream by this point

4. I do not see wanting/having caffeine as a judgeable offense

5. A bird nested in one of my flower pots last week so I guess I'm growing birds now too.

6. I just noticed my belly is itchy and a little sore. Is it seriously still getting bigger?!

7. H installed the infant seat in our van yesterday. 2 car seats now, ahhh!

8. Clothes aren't really that comfortable anymore.

9. We went to a museum this weekend and my son was so into this train set, his face melted me as he just stood there staring at it forever.

10. I should do some laundry. Sounds like work though.

[alayne926]

I'll play!

1. Sometimes, DH and I will make Dairy Queen runs after DS goes to bed. Last week, DH said, "It's going to be a sad day if he ever realizes we do this."
2. My cousin had her baby last night...she's 30 and unmarried and a little part of my PgAL mind is still jealous she "accidentally" got pregnant. (Maybe I should have saved this for FFFC?)
3. DS has slept on the floor of our room for almost a week after waking up in the middle of the night. I don't want him in our bed and I'm too tired and huge to fight with him to go back to his own bed.
4. I watch Harry Potter movies when DH is working nights because he can't stand them and I LOVE them!
5. I am also rewatching Gilmore Girls from the start on Netflix right now.
6. I really want this baby to come on his/her RCS date (6/29) so I don't have to go back to work until after Labor Day.
7. DH got me a pedicure for Mother's Day (yay!) and also got MIL one so now I feel obligated to go with her. I love her, and am SUPER lucky in the MIL department, but I just wanted some time to myself...
8. Some of my maternity shirts are getting too small....and I don't care enough to go buy new ones.
9. My poor dog has another ear infection, I think. DH is taking him to the vet today to confirm.
10. I have been craving sushi like crazy lately, I think I'm going to pick up some California Rolls today for lunch.

[megd893]

1. Back to work after a long weekend is always sucky. So much to do since my US counterparts/partners DIDN'T have the long weekend that this is essentially a 5 day week crammed into 4.
2. Working for a family company makes mat leave difficult. I don't want to replace me, so I'm going to work from home, but then I'm not technically ON mat leave and there are too many what if's for a planner like me. Stresses me out.
3. I have to create a pricing calculator today and I don't know where to start. Also, I don't want to.
4. I spent this weekend in our shit hole of a basement. It's finished, but finished in 1984, so it's rough. It's become a catch-all since the wedding and was driving me crazy. I went to home depot and bought lumber, built some 8ft shelving down there, got one wall organized and PURRRRGED. I have the rest of the week to tidy down there so we can move our sectional on Friday.
5. We're moving the 'sitting room' to the basement and the 'office' furniture out of one of the upstairs bedrooms and into our front room. BIG change in the house, but we need a functional office space if I'm going to WFH and K is going to be home 3 afternoons a week as well.
6. I need to find a reasonably priced side table/credenza/sideboard that I can upcycle for the office space. I dont want to spend hundreds on MORE new furniture.
7. I look ahead at this week and it makes me want to just crawl back in bed. My brother is on vacay this week (moving) which means I'll be doing some of his job as well as my own and helping with a financial planning project my dad is working on. That plus football tonight, ultimate tomorrow, baby shower/help bro move thursday, furniture moving friday... is slightly overwhelming. Ma is taking us for our buggy Saturday and Sunday a friend is taking some maternity pics. I just... want to relax lol
8. Really, my week is wonderful. It's just too much to look at all at once.
9. My MIL is coming up next Thursday... I don't know entirely what else to say about that. Next Sunday is THE shower, so Saturday night - no jokes we'll have 8 of K's out of town family members sleeping at our house... I can feel the headache from here.
10. I wish my office window opened. It's beautiful out...

[Widget123]

1. I haven't been participating in these lately because I struggle to find 10 things that you all would think are interesting.

2. Today I have been a mix of a bitch ready to explode and a smart ass, but I have been able to keep myself contained for the most part. Its really a shame because I was in such a good mood when I woke up this morning.

3. Last night I didn't sleep so much because I am so excited for the weekend. DD is going to be so excited to go to Sesame Place.

4. I am being bad and going despite my OBs' disapproval "just because". I have no issues with this pregnancy to be concerned about at this point, I'm only 35 weeks tomorrow, and should something go wrong, I already confirmed with my insurance that it wouldn't be a disaster.

5. I rented one of these bad boys, because you know, even though I've still been feeling pretty good for the most part, I don't want to walk too much.



6. I plan on channeling my inner Hayden.



7. Just kidding. I'll probably look more like this, especially the belly hanging out of the bottom of the shirt part.



8. Then I we'll drop by to see my family before heading home.

9. Please let traffic not be a total nightmare. We won't be travelling during peak times so hopefully that will help?



10. Lalala lalala Elmo's World.

[mrskblack11]

1. My OB will induce me at 39 weeks. That's 14 days from now.

2. I am so tired of working.

3. I bought cherries and they are SOOOO GOOD.

4. I still need to pick a pediatrician.

5. I hope Kaitlyn is the next Bachelorette

6. I wanted to punch Britt in the face after about 5 minutes of watching the show.

7. My favorite quote of the night “Britt is more of your trophy wife. Kaitlyn is more of your wife,”

8. My lawn guy came today. My yard no longer looks like a jungle.

9. Just realized it's lunchtime.

10. Happy Tuesday!

[billyhorrible]

1. My OB told me yesterday she was impressed with my energy level. She'd be less impressed if she saw me fall asleep on the couch last night at 8:30.

2. Went to meet with the Rabbi last night and spent most of the time crying in his office as we discussed baby names.

3. I hate the fact that about 50% of my neighbors let their dogs run loose around the neighborhood. There were two unneutered pits on my front lawn this morning. And while I'm not concerned about them in terms of "loose dogs," I'm terribly concerned for them if they get picked up by AC. (Although best case scenario they get neutered before returned home).

4. I had to go to court this morning so opposing counsel could cry "boo hoo" about being unable to take my sick client's deposition and ask for a trial continuance. Dude, you waited over a year to even ask for him to be deposed AND we've let you depose him 3 times. Go cry your river to someone else.

5. The only plus side about going to court this morning is I stopped off at Sonic on my way from court to work.

6. Leaving work early today to have dinner with my mom's best friend. She's visiting from across the country and I haven't seen her since my brother's wedding.

7. Because I missed my spa day to attend my cousin's funeral, all my friends have planned a new "night out" for me. Except it's a night in instead of a night out. After the baby comes, they're all coming over to my house to make dinner for us and bring food.

8. I have another group of friends who is hosting a barbeque this weekend as a last hurrah before the baby comes. I'm irrationally concerned that because I missed the spa day, I'll end up in labor and miss the barbeque too.

9. I'm also irrationally concerned that something is going to happen to me or the baby because of the whole "things come in threes." We've had 2 deaths in my family, one in April and one in May. I'm worried the baby or I will be "one in June."

10. My dog has been acting super weird since Friday night. He's big on personal space. If you sit next to him, he'll move. He'll only lie on the bed if no one else is on it. Lately, I can't get him off the bed. He wants to lie right beside me - in DH's spot.

[teenybird]

Dammit. I had 8/10 things all typed up, but then had a fat fingers fail on phone. Laaaaaame! I will now pick another 10 awesomely random things because I can't remember a damn thing I typed five minutes ago...

1. Definitely having all the feels. I am a hormonal mess today. I'd crawl under my desk to cry, but 1) I'm nearly 100% positive the carpet here has not been vacuumed since I started this job in February 2014, and 2) I wouldn't be able to get up without help, and I'm too vulnerable right now to admit I need the assistance.

2. I've had a super low grade fever the past few nights (like 99.2), and I'm a little weirded out. A cool shower and parking my whale ass in front of the fan seem to get me back into 98/97 territory, but no clue why it's spiking in the first place. Probably because I'm overdoing it. Will be asking MW tonight along with my other 5 million SS questions.

3. DH has been a rockstar with condo projects in the past week. I hope my thank you's are really processing for him, because I really am incredibly thankful for all he's done.

4. I am so over work right now. I know I should be grateful for light duty and being able to save my leave time for once bub is here, but damn these days are dragging. It's also not helping that my coworkers have started with the "you're still here??" inquiries and are regaling me with all their birth horror stories. I may start responding with horror stories about my third tri bowel movements...maybe then they'll get how unhelpful that shit is.

5. I need to finish bub's crib mobile over the long weekend. I said I was gonna finish it last weekend, but ended up binge watching Anthony Bourdain shows on Netflix and giving my birdy head and beak rubs. Bird loves to sit right on my belly, so his little feet massage bub when he walks around too. Win-win for all of us!

6. I know I just bitched about work boredom...but I'm also secretly hoping that my 3:30 phone patient doesn't pick up. I just don't wanna deal with people right now.

7. I'm just now starting to really panic about this whole birth thing. I'm a little late to that party, but it feels like a panic attack in the making. I'm feeling exposed and defensive even thinking about labor, and I'm still not quite sure how to talk about it with MW. I'm really starting to turn my focus inward, and it's weirding me out.

8. DH is making dinner tonight, and I cannot wait to pig out after my MW appointment. I will eat three small portions of it over the course of the night if I have to to ingest all of that deliciousness. My stomach feels so squished right now that more than a fistful of food at once makes me queasy...but the pork!! Must eat all of the delicious marinaded pork!

9. I still chase after the Canada geese in the park...but only because I think they are adorable and I want to hug them.

10. I have consumed 3L of water already today. I think I've peed like 10 times at least, but who's counting anymore...?

Is it the weekend yet?!

[sully326]

1. I'm freaking starving & all I want is fried carbs.

2. There's a huge festival in town this,weekend and I'm about 90% sure I'm going eat ALL THE FRIED CARBS!

3. Fuck you, GD. I hate you.

4. I'm hangry right now. Can't ya tell?!

5. There was a really bad accident up in the area where DH works. The truck involved is the exact same as his, the person died & he wasn't returning my text. Que 20 minute hysterical crying & panic mode...then he calls. Thank GOD!

6. BUT, he does have a flat tire & no spare. He's stranded & trying to get a hold of someone so I don't have to drive an hour to get him. UPDATE: He's been saved. And not by me.

7. I hear thunder & I'm praying it storms.

8. I've been laying in bed for 2 hours trying to nap. It's not working but I'm soooo tired.

9. I'm still annoyed with my OB appt today.

10. WHERE ARE MY FRIED CARBS?!?!

[bookninja]

1. Why did I think that having a garage sale at 36+4 days pregnant was a good idea?
2. Oh, wait, because I have been cleaning out cupboards like a madwoman for some reason.
3. I really hope I don't end up wanting all this stuff back after the crazy wears off.
4. I got all my shower thank yous done and mailed!
5. Also I hate the post office and its stupid open hours that say one thing on the web, and another on the doors as you walk up and it's locked.
6. I ate 3 bowls of honey nut Cheerios for breakfast today. I don't know why.
7. I keep having to make horrible grunting sounds when I get up from the couch or roll over in bed. It's freaking DH out. He's going to be completely desensitized by the time labor actually gets here.
8. I really want to be outside today.
9. I've been craving ice. Hopefully it's just a hot weather thing and not PICA.
10. I think this is the first 10 things I have ever done! I get negative points for participation most days... .

[leenziepops]

1. Tdap is officially the bitch of all bitches

2. 5am and I'm eating toast

3. 2 happened because between 9pm and 5am I have done 4 number twos

4. Last week of work and I'm taking a sicky today #sorrynotsorry

5. 10 things is too many so peace out

[sully326]

bookninja I seriously giggled at #1-#3. Especially #3. Haha.

[bookninja]

sully326 lol... DH did rescue a few things from my "out, out, damned junk!" pile. If he's smart, he'll hide them somewhere I have already cleaned.

[trixi282]

1. I've only done one of these, because for some reason 10 things sounds like so many random things to think of and I get intimidated!
2. I'm currently being monitored, and baby is looking good, apparently I'm having a few minor contractions (Braxton hicks) that I can't feel but they're showing.
3. My mom came to visit this morning and it was nice - but sometimes the way she starts asking questions/offers help can sometimes be awkward.
4. The daycare J goes to has a website called "Daily Connect" and they update with activities throughout the day - today they played with the "helicopter seeds" and I can just imagine how cute that was.
5. A baby was just born!  The hospital plays a little tune over the intercom each time a baby is born, I love hearing that sound!
6. I need to go down the hall and do a load of laundry, but I don't want to get up because I'm actually comfortable right now....
7. Sunday is my H's birthday and obviously I can't do too much for him; my mom went to get him a hitch cover that I talked about though, so I have SOMETHING for him now!
8. The number 8 is my favorite number
9. I'm kind of hoping baby will be scheduled for delivery Friday or Tuesday simply because it's an even numbered day... I know that's a stupid reason.
10. I know once delivery is scheduled we should tell people, but I secretly want to keep it to ourselves and not announce it so we can still surprise people when baby is born... but I know our parents in particular will want to know (and need to know possibly) - but I still don't want them HERE when we deliver.  I want to call them after baby is born.

[maddib]

Kristykristyleelee

I am sorry you got into a fight with your mom. Hopefully the talk about the delivery room doesn't get too bad!! And I would be super pissed about the truck and would be calling to have it towed everyday until it was gone!!! People are so inconsiderate!! +1 to cold beers sound good! Does JFC mean just fucking can't? That's what I have always read it as. I have no idea what a selfie stick is.. And I don't have a favorite color either !! Lol sorry for the questions! I just had to respond to your post mainly over the truck. That would rage me out!

[kemdupuis]

1. Super bad headache today. I really want some excedrin and a nap. Tylenol does nothing.

2. Had a long convo with my bestie last night (we live on opposite sides of the country) and had so much fun talking about her wedding, our LO, and all of the people we went to HS with that are having trashy weddings.

3. My mom keeps suggesting names for LO that are completely ridiculous. I tell her that we'll figure it out, and that she should stop, but the texts just keep rolling in. Some of the gems: Alonzo, Darius, Mordecai, Tyrese (no offense if any of these are on your list- they are just 100% NMS)

4. DH and I bought ice cream at the grocery store this weekend. I've barely touched my ice cream, but have made my way through (almost) an entire jar of hot fudge. I can't get enough of it.

5. I am secretly hoping that I go into labor a week or so late because I do not want my ILs to be in town when it happens.

6. I think LO is dropping- less HB and more of an appetite. One of my co workers mentioned it today, too.

7. We are having maternity pictures taken at our house tomorrow and I need to clean. Instead, I am participating in 10 things Tuesday bc it is way more fun.

8. I feel mostly inappropriate wearing shorts in public, but I just do not care anymore. It is almost 90 degrees. I am a human furnace. And I would much rather not have to wear clothes at all.

9. Sitting at my OBs office- getting my GBS done and I am pissed because I have the one nurse I do not really like for my appt today. She makes me feel so awkward!
10. I miss shopping in my regular stores so much. DH and I walked down a popular shopping street this weekend and I nearly cried as I passed Banana Republic, JCrew and Ann Taylor. I need some retail therapy!

[wifedeangel]

1. I'm 36+3 today and baby dropped last night.
2. H is potentially out of town tonight because of work, and I'm freaked out a little that I'll go into labor when he's not here.
3. My BFF is close enough she can drive me to the hospital and take care of DD, and my mom can meet us at the hospital, so it's not like I'm stranded without H.
4. I still need to pack my hospital bag.
5. My mom keeps telling me not to freak, I could still go 4 more weeks but it's no good, I'm stuck in a SS cycle.
6. DD is currently obsessed with Doc McStuffins, and I have to tell her she doesn't have a boo boo several times a day.
7. Dinner tonight is soup from the grocery store deli. I love Publix.
8. I got my hair cut on Saturday. It's super cute, but I still wear it up 95% of the time.
9. DD has lost 2 balloons to the top of our ceiling. And H got her another one.
10. I can't think of another one.

Selfie stick:



Re the Truck - I don't know why, but the fact that it is a PURPLE pick up truck just makes me hate the truck even more.

Ah! That makes sense! And that is freaking insane!! The lengths ppl will go to to take a selfie. And ya I would hate looking at a purple truck in front of my house. Major eye sore!!

[txngrl31]

1. I celebrated baby being head down today by eating Doritos on the ride home.

2. My parents arrive in town tonight! I'm excited and have been cleaning like crazy for two days. Breaks are necessary.

3. I hope Kaitlyn is the Bachelorette.

4. I'm looking forward to eating all the pizza tonight.

5. Yes, I just remembered that Housewives of NYC comes on tonight. DVR will be working over time!

6. I need a TUMS right now. And allergy medicine.

7. Baby was sucking her thumb and blinking her eyes during the ultrasound today.

8. I need to pack my hospital bag now that I'm 37 weeks and 1 day.

9. It's annoying to see all the cute little summer dresses in store windows right now.

10. OK..I need to order pizza now.

[wink568]

1. We got two sleeper sofa's to accommodate overnight guests. One is leather for the man cave. The furniture store told us the wrong dimensions so we didn't realize it wouldn't fit in the basement until it showed up.
2. Now I'm stuck with this bleeping sofa that doesn't fit in with my main floor at all and the furniture store is giving us heck about returning it
3. I understand the policy, but we did our due diligence and measured the path to the basement. It's not our fault they told us it was 6" smaller than it actually is
4. DH's temp job just offered him a permanent position. Pending a higher pay offer, this may completely change our plans to have him be a SAHD.
5. I'm hungrier than I've ever been this entire pregnancy
6. I'm getting a mani/pedi tomorrow so my toes look good while in the hospital.
7. The manicure is in case we do newborn photos so my hands look good
8. I'm so excited to see Jurassic World that we'll be seeing it at the Drive-In so we can bring LO
9. Unless I'm four days late, at which point we'll see it opening night.
10. I keep picturing my water breaking at the movie theater.

1. I'm 36+3 today and baby dropped last night.

Probably should go in the SQS, but... this happens overnight? Like, could you distinctly feel it? I had no idea this was a thing. I realized they would have to move down into position for birth, but I didn't think it was a big, immediate shift.

When I got out of bed this morning, I thought he felt lower. But I didn't really think about it until I caught my reflection in the mirror before I got in the shower. He is definitely lower. But not so low that he feels like he's falling out. When DD dropped, it was an overnight thing too, except she did feel like she was going to fall out when I stood up. I went into labor within 24 hours.

But like my mom reminded me, just because they drop, it doesn't necessarily mean they are coming quickly.

1. I just sat down on the couch with a bowl of B&J's The Tonight Dough to watch The Voice finale.

2. I really want Josh Davis to win The Voice, but I'll be pretty satisfied if Sawyer Fredericks wins too.

3. The other 2 finalists are also ridiculously talented.

4. I think my ridiculously loud upstairs neighbor graduated last weekend and is MOVING OUT! Eph him and his giant car and noisy parties.

5. DH announced this afternoon that he's going to Best Buy tomorrow morning to buy a wireless booster for our apt. It is something we need based on where his desk is being relocated to and the signal strength in that particular room. But, I'd just asked him to take DS1 to the park tomorrow morning when he said it. Ummm. andplusalso, he's on vacay and won't be using his PC that much and we have a to do list a mile long, let's get the major priorities done first. OR, you know, maybe we should've ordered one from Amazon on Sunday when mentioned it, bc it would be here already.

6. I'm using my mother's day GC tomorrow for a massage. I'm so excited.

7. H blew a tire and bent his wheel in a pot hole the first week of march. He's been driving on the spare since (OMG). We had the dealership order replacements and it'll probably end up costing us $800 for a new wheel and tire. I fucking hate his Mazda.

8. We took DS1 to the zoo this afternoon with several friends from school (and their moms). DS1 was not having a good day listening to us. After running ahead/away and NOT stopping when told to for the nth time, I yelled/threatened that we'd leave if he did it again. It was not my finest parenting moment(bc of the volume and tone in my voice, I meant the consequence), but his behavior was entirely different afterwards. So, overall a win, I guess?

9. I want this baby to be born on 6/19. That would mean all of our birthdates are 4 days apart (though in different months, well, DH's is in June, too). we'd have 15-19-23-27. If I can't have 6/19, It MUST be an odd number. Oh, our anniv is 6/17, too.

10. The final wine club delivery of my pregnancy arrives tomorrow. This makes the 8th since the BFP. There are 24 bottles of wine from my fave 2 California Wineries in my house just waiting for me to not be pregnant anymore!!
