Board Check-in 8/31

[toratoratori]

I'm in Copenhagen for another week. I went to Sweden this weekend to celebrate the first birthday of one of the babies from C's BMB! He's ten days younger than her and cute as can be. It was so sweet of his mama to include me in their celebrations, and all of their friends were so wonderful and welcoming to me. I'll be joining the mama and both babies (birthday boy has an older sister) on Wednesday for a trip to the aquarium here, so I'm looking forward to that!

How was everyone's weekend, and what do you have planned for the week?

[missjenniebean]

That sounds exciting and warm welcoming people make it so much better! Have fun at the aquarium!

V had her first fever and major cold. Fever went away fairly quickly and she was extremely cuddly until today. Still has a stuffy nose but overall is feeling better. I had to get a new car and ended up with ons I love after many disappointing car lot visits. For this week lots of working then my BFF is getting married!!!!! So excited!!!!

That was so nice of them to invite you toratoratori and I 'm glad you had such a good time!

We had my brother and future SIL's coed bridal shower last Saturday. I've got two more work days, then off to the beach for my annual bowling tournament. It's supposed to rain Saturday and Sunday though while we are there

toratoratori, that sounds like so much fun! I love getting chances to do IRL things with my "internet friends"
missjenniebean, so glad V is feeling better!
lecky11, boo rain...FX the forecast is wrong! But I bet you'll have fun no matter what.

Week 3 of the new job is off to a crazy-busy start, as usual. Yesterday was my birthday so I headed out a little early and DH and I went to the Red Sox-Yankees game, where we got to sit in a luxury box and eat and drink for free! It was awesome but I am dragging ass today because we got home so late. Early to bed for me tonight!

Have a wonderful afternoon ladies!

[lecky11]

Sounds like a lot of fun dashook (even though the Yankees lost ) Happy belated birthday and I'm glad to hear the job is going well.

[toratoratori]

missjenniebean Poor V! Glad she's starting to feel better. Colds are so hard when they're this little - they know they're miserable but they don't know why, and all your efforts to help them (ie. nose suction) just seem like torture! Unrelated: I want details on the car! What'd you end up getting?

lecky11 You're a bowler?? That's so cool! Where is the tournament taking place? Is it supposed to be cool and rainy or like, ~*~tropical rainy~*~? That could be kind of nice, actually

Happy belated birthday, dashook! Sounds like the new job is off to a great start

[lecky11]

Yup toratoratori. All my life, even while in utero. Lol. The tournament is down at the Emerald Coast of Florida. I'd rather sunny and steamy

[missjenniebean]

Thanks all! Me too. Nose suction doesn't seem to work. What works the best for me is breastfeeding/bottle feeding. Sticks to the surface of the bottle/boob. As long as it clears, right?

lecky11 - hopefully stays clear a little bit but have fun!
dashook - glad you had a good time!
toratoratori - ended up with an 06 Honda civic:) less than 90k miles so it should last me a while. I hope!

Baby had a growth spurt. He put me down for the count last Sunday and I slept the day away. On Monday I popped even more. I am not moving to weekly appointments as I have to do an NST every weeks. The countdown is one. About 8 weeks to EDD.

Nothing really planned just happy I have a 3 day weekend this weekend. I need it. I have not had a vacation since Thanksgiving and I am not taking anytime off until the baby comes.

It's been a weird week -- lots of late nights and early mornings, but not always having to do stuff in the middle of the day. I'm also currently working about an hour away from my house, so driving home from rehearsal at 11pm is less fun than usual. It's a pretty drive though, so when I'm going up there during the day I don't mind as much.

This weekend I'll be working both Saturday and Sunday (Sat at home, Sun at the theater) but I get to relax on Monday! Our friends are having a BBQ. Maybe I'll get to hold their baby without her spitting up on me -- last time my friend handed her baby to me baby spit up all over me and then got teasingly scolded by her mom for "not doing her job" of convincing all of mom's friends to have babies. Lol

Happy extremely belated birthday dashook !!
Sorry that I have missed being on here! I need to pop in more often.

I will be spending my weekend trying not to be anxious about this job opportunity I have. I will know by Tuesday if I get it or not, and the wait is driving me crazy lol! Hope everyone is doing well.

Thanks for the birthday wishes, and good luck with the job opportunity.  Waiting is hard!  My fingers are crossed for you.
