Two/Three/Ten Things Tuesday!

[ravinraven216]

1.) I have new neighbors moving in. They seem nice enough, but I'm slightly put out.
2a.) Someone lost a dog and our new neighbors found it. Beautiful dappled longhaired dachshund with no collar. I think they found its person. It is taking all of my will power not to yell at the lady to put a goddamn collar on her dog.
2b.) "Dachshund" is one of those words I struggle to spell properly. Also "maintenance" and "definitely".
3.) I have stopped at Rita's Italian Ice three times this week and have no regrets.
4.) I went on a hospital tour on Monday and apart from finding my way up to L&D it was mostly a waste of time.
5.) We made chicken fried rice on Sunday and it was the best thing I had tasted in months, mostly because of the nostalgia (my mom makes awesome chicken fried rice)
6.) Well, the Indian food we had on Saturday was really good, too.
7.) And so was the guacamole I made earlier today.
8.) I think DH and I are going to have a belated anniversary and treat ourselves to massages and tickets to see the Legend of Zelda symphony in October. Trying to manage anything elaborate for this month is not really possible.
9.) Is it okay that I'm missing my iPad? I dropped it off to have the screen repaired before LO arrives. I'll have it back in 24 hours, but I just want to peruse/download books and play Ticket to Ride all evening.
10.) I'm going to finish dinner prep so everything is ready to go when DH comes home. I'm making him cook tonight.

tiffbot, I would loan you a Tim Horton's if I could. I have 5 within 5 miles of me and the hospital where I'll deliver has a 24 hour location on the ground floor.

kemdupuis, that's how many hospital bags I have too!

1. Today is my birthday and I realized that I timed this baby perfectly. Next year when I turn 30, no one will care because she will be turning 1. Score!

2. The student that all the teachers swore I'd have the most trouble with when I started this job ran into my classroom this morning with a birthday card and gift for me. I love her. So sweet and a great start to my day.

3. DH is bringing home Indian food for dinner and I'm beyond excited!!!

4. Had my hospital tour last night and am feeling good about my choice. I really liked the L&D nurse who led our group!

5. My aunts both texted me this week and asked if they could come to the hospital during my c-section to wait with my BFF. I'm super excited...I can't believe they want to take off work to do that for me!

6. My own mother is not taking off work to come to the hospital for my c-section...which makes me mad cuz I think she should at least WANT to do it, but elated because I don't want her there. Unreasonable pregnant lady, party of 1.

7. DH won't help me choose which maternity photos to print and hang in the nursery. It's making me irrationally ragey.

8. BUT...my maternity photos FINALLY came! And I am in absolute love. She sent me 160+ shots and there are 84 that I love. I don't know what I'm going to do with that many photos. I have the overwhelming desire to make everyone I know look at them all with me, but even as an irrational pregnant lady I know that is going way too far and no one cares.

9. My BFF and her husband just took a job as house parents for troubled teens in Rhode Island...which means they are moving AGAIN. I am super happy for them because they really wanted this job and they are so good at this kind of work, but so sad that they're moving a week after I have the baby.

10. I can't decide which movie to watch tonight with DH even though I always complain that he never lets me choose (this is why lol). Thoughts? I'm currently staring at Channing Tatum and thinking Jupiter Ascending might be a good choice.

mcp6286 thank you for making me feel like I am not a freak. I've been feeling guilty about having that many bags, but now I feel justified! Also, happy birthday!

[tatersalad]

Happy birthday mcp6286!

[sully326]

1. My Son "graduated" pre-k today and I cried through the whole thing.

2. He's going to be 5 on the 15th. This also made me cry when I thought about it.

3. June is going to be a BUSY month for us.

4. I have an NST & OB appointment on Friday, the following Weds. I fill out pre-op paperwork, then Friday is my RCS. 10 Days. Holy shit.

5. I'm supposed to be getting my tubes tied during my RCS but I'm having second thoughts. I know I'm done having kids but something so permanent is freaking me out.

6. I'm getting my hair chopped next week and I can't wait.

7. Every time I roll over at night I sound like a bowl of rice krispies that someone just poured milk on.

8. Baby's Nursery still isn't finished and it won't get done before she's here.

9. I shaved today for the first time in a week and now my legs feel weird.

10. I can't wait to EAT WHAT I WANT!!

[jessila]

1. I usually do this during lunch on Tuesdays but actually had to work through lunch.
2. I've decided that Friday's my last day of work thus working through work.
3. I had a (virgin) strawberry daiquiri with dinner.
4. And chocolate ice cream for dessert.
5. I am SO glad that I don't have GD and am sad for those of you that do.
6. Even though it's barely 60 outside today my feet are still ridiculously swollen.
7. My doctor thinks I might be drinking too much water which is making my feet swell extra? Anyone else?
8. I really miss enjoying coffee and hope that I love it as soon as this little dude makes his debut.
9. Nerd alert-I play Final Fantasy XIV online. Anyone else?
10. Next Tuesday, I'll be on summer break/maternity leave!!!!

ravinraven216, I'm way jealous of you going to see the Legend of Zelda Symphony!!!!! DH got me a Triforce Ocarina for my birthday (to be fair, I am a music teacher and will use it in my classroom). I'm a super Zelda fan.

We went back in 2013 as well. DH is a huge music nerd and loves the Zelda series. Many a manly tear was shed that evening. 

We had vaguely considered about going to the one in Indianapolis, but when they added a Columbus performance we collectively lost our shit. I just need to sit down with him and decide where we want to sit this time.

1. I'm more than slightly grumpy
2. I've decided when neighbours/acquaintances/randos etc ask if there have been any signs I'm going to go into detail about quantity and texture of my mucous plug.
3. I figure this may avoid future questioning.
4. Everything seems like a sign of labour to me now
5. Lots of pooping=labour?
6. Cold symptoms=labour?
7. Cats behaving oddly=labour?
8. I want sex but DH won't b/c he thinks I'm using him to coax baby out.
9. No shit.
10. I'll just have to eat pineapple instead.

I lol'd at 8 and 9. Mine is aware of this as well, and he's very much okay with it!

[theBeeMama]

1. I HAVE to stop eating ice cream.

2. Sometimes I feel like I can actually sense the fat/flab forming on my arms.

3. Speaking of pineapples (ya know the sex and pineapple talk earlier) I had an entire fresh pineapple that I cut up last night to eat on for a few days... I turned around for three seconds after cutting it and my toddler had poured almost an entire thing of table salt in the bowl. I tried washing it off but there was salt in every crevice. I ate a few pieces and then had to throw it away.

4. I can't find my breast pump anywhere and it's frustrating me.

5. Seriously I just want some more ice cream.

6. I did NOT drink enough water today.

7. I want to go drink a gallon of water right now.

8. But I don't want to have to pee all night... :/

9. I'm going to bed so early tonight it's ridiculous.

10. But I can't go to bed until I wash my feet... Because getting into the bed with dirty feet is just WRONG.

[Deleted]

1. I started off today with a crazy burst of nesting energy.
2. Now I can barely move because my pelvis hurts so badly.
3. I'm treating this week as half days of work even though they aren't.
4. I keep adding items to my hospital bag that I'm sure I don't need.
5. Now that I'm so close to meeting my LO, I'm impatient.
6. I'm D-O-N-E being pregnant and uncomfortable. I want my outside baby!

3.) I have stopped at Rita's Italian Ice three times this week and have no regrets.

Ugh. Stuck in a quote box. Can you or someone else tell me what's so great about frozen ice? We have one 10 minutes away, and I have never once stopped there. I am an ice cream-aholic. How on earth can flavored ice taste anywhere close as good as ice cream? And ice blended with custard just sounds weird. I don't get Rita's. Nope.

[tiffbot]

theBeeMama I was just trying to decide if I was going to resist my bad ice cream habit tonight or not. It's just sooo goood right now!

[musicfrk2002]

1. Finally 37 weeks today
2. So tired, no energy to do anything today.
3. Still need to install the carseat and pack a hospital bag...eh, maybe tomorrow
4. Need to go grocery shopping like right now. We have hardly any food.
5. Now I want a brownie. Might have to pick up a box of mix while grocery shopping
6. Been off work for 2 days now, appears the place hasn't fallen apart yet
7. Kind of disappointed about that, actually.
8. My stomach feels like it is going to explode
9. It's awkward when the OB comments about how the baby doesn't have much more room in there.
10. Duh.

[theBeeMama]

tiffbot right? Like... I'm not normally a huge ice cream person but lately, I want all the ice cream all the time.
