1. It's -18 degrees celsius here (Google says that equals -0.4 degree fahrenheit) and C is off work today. I'm jealous and just want to go curl up in our warm bed with her.
2. Our baby shower is this weekend!
3. I logged into our registry to update something and saw that somebody bought our stroller and car seat! Whoa! We were not expecting that, we added it to the list so that we could use the bonus coupon on it.
4. I start work in 53 minutes. Am I ready? No. Am I getting ready? No.
5. On this day last year I sent C this...
6. I may or may not be finishing this up from my warm cozy bed.
7. 4 day work weeks are awesome; today already feels like hump day. Yay!
8. I just got a spiralizer and am looking for fun spiral meal ideas if anybody has any to share.
9. This is my life:
10. Okay. I need to go start adulting and get ready for work. Happy Tuesday!
1. I should really be working right now. I'm feeling uninspired though since I had to come in Sat and yesterday (I am supposed to be off federal holidays).
2. I was not happy about shoveling this AM. Although I am grateful that this is the first time I have had to shovel all season.
3. I'm kinda bummed that my outdoor running with O is on hold now till spring. We run on the canal and they don't plow it making it very stroller unfriendly.
4. I really want to buy a babywearing coat. M bought me one for Christmas but I really don't like it so it's going back. We still wear a lot and it would be nice to have a specific coat so we could all stay warm. And I justify it that with #2 we will get use out of it. Although not really in the budget this month.
5. We are looking to make some improvements/changes to our house. Simple stuff like painting and window coverings. Stuff most people would have done when they moved in. We have liked there for over 2 years and contemplate selling all of the time although we can't really afford the house we want. I just struggle with putting some money in and then selling.
6. My dad's birthday is tomorrow. I need to remember to call him. I have decided to just do things the way I want and I can't be responsible for how people act towards me.
7. M suggested to me yesterday through txt that we go on a date. She may have gotten my not-so-subtle hinting. But that was the end of the discussion. Sigh.
8. wittyandwaiting have fun at the shower! How great someone was able to purchase the stroller for you!
9. Maybe we will rent a movie this weekend, that would be fun. I don't usually like to sit and watch movies.
10. O asked to wear the baby carrier I made for her yesterday. I thought my heart was going to bust. Love that kiddo.
2. R played in the snow for the first time yesterday and loved it. We stayed outside dor an hour and half.
3. My running has been going great. I'm up to 9 miles/week and I'm increasing it to 4 mile runs each time.
4. I found a half marathon I want to run near my house in June. It'll be my first race since having kids. My last race was Oct 2013 when my wife was 5 months prego.
5. kona, I hear you on not wanting to put money into your house if you are going to sell. We bought our house almost 2 years ago and have been doing work on it. We plan to sell by the time R starts kindergarten. We figure the work we are doing will help us sell it faster if not for more money.
6. I made vegan chocolate chip cookies and they are amazing. Taste better than regular.
7. Every morning I have been making smoothies with kale,flax seed, coconut milk and fruit. My chiro has reminded me how healthy coconut milk/oil is.
8. She inspired me to be make sure we're buying non GMO foods. I have been buying some but not all.
9. Tax apt is booked for Feb 16. Kids are going to Daycare and moms are going drinking and tax filing.
10. Too bad the return is already spent on replacing our central air.
1. My MIL might kill me about this potential upcoming snow storm. Or maybe she is just trying to induce labor with stress. Her latest thing is that she "feels strongly" that J and I should stay in a hotel next to the hospital on Friday and Saturday night if baby hasn't come by then so that we can avoid driving in the snow, and she will stay at our house with William. I told her no. I want to be home with William as long/as much as possible. I also want to be in my own house as long/as much as possible. I finally told her relatively bluntly that I need her to not stress as it will cause me to stress. Her job is to take care of William - we will worry about the rest. I know it is coming from a good place, but she is giving me anxiety and she is going to cause this birth experience for me to be filled with stress and worry from the very beginning if she doesn't chill out. I feed off of other people's stress and anxiety. I know this about myself. I want very much to remain calm and zen going into this and if weather throws us a curve ball we will just deal with it and have a great story to tell some day. Anyway, if she doesn't calm down, J is going to have to intervene. From a selfish perspective, I feel that I am the only one giving birth in this equation, and my ability to be calm and relaxed leading into that should be a priority.
2. With that said, the weather report is starting to look ominous. A big part of me would really like to just have this baby by tomorrow, but I feel like that is unlikely at this point.
3. I have been very busy at work trying to wrap things up before my leave starts. I really just want to be done. I might make Thursday my last day in the office regardless of labor and weather. TBD...
4. My mother cannot decide when she wants to come visit after baby comes. At this point I just need her to make a decision. Why is everyone OK with stressing me out about things I shouldn't have to worry about right now? Whatever happened to catering to the pregnant lady in the end to keep her calm and happy? Is this not a thing? Anybody? I guess I am being unreasonable...
5. Deep breath. I am done venting now. I really am excited to meet this baby!
6. I am also really excited for news from cetcar! Can't wait for her little bundle to arrive any day also!
7. William was OUT OF CONTROL funny last night. I think he was overtired and acting "slap happy." It was just too much for words. He was cracking himself up left and right, and then chatting to himself in his crib for an hour after I put him to bed. We were listening to him on the monitor and couldn't stop laughing.
8. I'm really looking forward to postpartum weight loss. I am feeling motivated. I am hoping that feeling sticks and that the weight comes off relatively easily. Fingers crossed!
9. I am contemplating an early dismissal from work for myself this afternoon. I worked an 11 hr day yesterday and didn't get home until about 6:15pm. I was/am really tired. I could use a shorter day today...
10. I got a new breast pump in hopes that it will give me good/better mojo for BFing and pumping this time. My last experience was awful. I am really hoping it works out this time, but I am prepared to cut myself slack and try not to stress about it either way. What is meant to be will be.
1. I am not happy about this impending snow. I am good with 6" - but when we are talking feet, I get cranky.
2. I have had 2 venti hot teas this morning just so I can keep warm. Plus, I have the (illegal) space heater cranking under my desk.
3. I have been less than productive today.
4. I need to stop to do errands on the way home: more ice melt, shovels so the kids can help (they are ready for regular size shovels!),veggies/fruit, and cash in case someone stops by to offer their shoveling services.
5. I agreed to split a student with someone next year. I hope I don't regret it.

1. Jo is leaving Thursday to head overseas for the second half of her tour. I really don't want her to leave, and neither does she, but she has to.
2. I am very impressed that I didn't freak out yesterday when Jo turned on the laptop she brought home from tour and the screen was cracked. Turned out she checked the laptop for a 21 hour flight... Ugh!!! Now she's taking the good laptop back with her, since this one could get worse during the travel. I will kill her if she ruins my brand new laptop though.... lol
3. I haven't had any side effects from these progesterone suppositories until last night when I started feeling nauseous.
4. I am using reverse psychology on this TWW. We want to get pregnant, but I really want to go to Key West for 4 weeks with my unit for a training exercise. So, I'm hoping that means the universe will make me pregnant and that means I won't be able to go... lol
5. I've been doing weight watchers online and I've lost 5lbs in 2 weeks. So I'm pretty happy about that!
6. I'm happy it's warming up here. Is was -30 over the weekend. It was a dry cold, but holy was it cold!!!
7. I don't want to go back to work Thursday!! I know it's going to be stupid busy... Ugh
8. I'm super worried... I know I will be moving units this year, possibly before a jo gets home from her tour, and if we don't get pregnant this month I don't know how my new boss will accommodate out appointments with the RE in Saskatoon.
9. My uncle is now receiving end of life treating because of lung and bone cancer. It's bringing out a bunch of feelings and memories from when my Dad passed away from lung cancer. It's so frustrating.
2. I ate actual instant ramen for dinner tonight. That tells you how fantastic I haven't been feeling. Although I do eat salad if you present it to me.
3. We are getting some prenatal genetic testing done (so cool! just a blood draw from me!) and I'm antsy for the results.
4. I've been going round and round with the district about some stuff in my building and I am super cranky about the amount of redundant work I've been doing.
5. Our gas fireplace has been out for a month, and our complex hasn't gotten around to fixing it. We now live under our electric blanket.
6. Gonna tell my coworkers about the nugget tomorrow. I just can't hide my sense of smell and my gag reflex anymore.
7. I took a nap tonight. There was drool. I still want to go to bed in half an hour.
8. My mommy is getting a new puppy in a week or so, and she is unbearably cute. Too bad we live 1000 miles away.
9. I have actually lost weight in this pregnancy, despite being a total lump and not getting off the couch ever. That's probably okay, since I'm a bit squishy to begin with. Doctor wasn't worried.
