Randoms - week of 03/07

I remembered this the other day and had to share.

With both pregnancies I have been able to wear non-maternity yoga pants I already owned because they started on the big side.
Anyhow, on a L&D trip with #1 I had a resident ask me what pregnancy this was, I told him my first. He looked all confused and asked why I had a c-section scar then.... there was no scar, that was simply a line caused by my yoga pants. It kind of freaked me out that a DOCTOR thought it was a scar. Of course I couldn't see it to see what it actually looked like, but you would assume my pants would hurt if it was that bad.

I told my boss my last day is going to be Wednesday. That'll give me Thursday to rest up and obsess prepare for Friday's induction. Now all I can think is 2 more days of work....

I've also started buying cute clothes and shoes and stuff for when I'm out of maternity stuff. It's nice and the Spring Sales certainly don't hurt!

ALSO - I've always wanted to dye my hair a crazy color... I've done chunks before - but never the full head... I've decided my 12 weeks off work is the perfect time, so I've been looking at ideas!







Who knows what I'll actually get, though.

LOL! I'd be concerned about that doctor, too!

My dog may go missing today. All the damn outdoor cats are out today because it's warmer and the sun is out. He's barking non stop!! Dog. I get it!! STFU!!!

MH got the job!!! They want him to start on the 15th. Not going to lie, I'm kind of freaking out about that timing....

Not sure, he's going to call HR right now and let them know what's going on and ask for "a couple days unpaid." We'll see if they offer more.  Hopefully yes!  Even if it's delayed a bit.  Luckily my mom lives 15 mins from me so she can help.

xxkimmy8xx so glad he got the job!! Hopefully they can work something out with the timing.

SIL is here. H didn't take time off of work to visit, so it's just us and the twins (DD is at daycare). It's very awkward and I kind of want to hurt H for sticking me with her. I don't much care for her. And it's even better now because she's lost 70 pounds and now everything is about her weight/weight loss. And here I sit in my PP whale suit. Just shoot me now. She got here Saturday and doesn't leave until Thursday. I might lock myself in my room.

Congrats @xxkmy8xx so glad he got it!

Mom and H made a target run this AM. The desire to wait for presents completely negated by the reality of having a baby home with us!
Stocked up on some NB clothes ( she is a little thing!), changing pad and a Boppy. Omg I love the Boppy. It is amazing

I picked up some jello mix at the store since that's one of the few things that sound good for my throat. I boiled the water and stepped aside to help DS2 clean up from his snack. Before I knew it, smoke was filling my kitchen. Somehow the plastic on our rice cooker was pushed too close to the burner and started melting all over the stove. I took it off and turned off the stove and got cold water on the plastic. Fire department call avoided.

I'm losing my mind though, people.

I've told myself I would drink more water this week since my amniotic fluid is low to see if it helps. Yeah I can't do it, she's dancing on my bladder and I'm already peeing so much it causes cramping. My ob never suggested it anyhow.

Yay!!!! What awesome news - and a relief for you guys! FX HR is understanding.

It's pretty sad that I'm looking forward to my spinal because it will be the first time in about a month that I will be pain free.

[readinglove]

@pugsandwine Ooohhhh...I love the blue and purple!!! It's so pretty!!!

[cinnamonsmiles]

Today is my due date. Geez. Feels like I still have another few weeks to go...

@pugsandwine, I hope that baby comes Thurs for you then, so no induction but no chance of going into labor at work

[isolemnlyswear]

Went for a 20 minute walk...C loved it so much, it was our first walk of spring! It was so much work for me hahah. It's going to be beautiful all week so I'm hoping to help walk this kid out.

Love. I dyed my hair red right before Christmas, and then I just added burgundy to it, but as almost like a reverse ombré. So my roots are red, but the ends are dark purple. It's the boldest I e ever gone on purpose.

My roommate accidentally dyed my hair orange, like Broncos orange, once during my sophomore year.

@pugsandwine, I loooooove the last photo. I'd love to do something funky like that.

[halfahippy]

Both kids are napping and I'm enjoying lunch and my first beer with DH. Amazing.

[rachelilly23]

I have no desire to make dinner... probably won't until 1) I don't feel like death and 2) baby is out.

[ironmom]

The Bird is sick. Of course, my kid who is never sick is going to be right before I have to give birth.

He also won't take his cough medicine because it's not purple. Welcome to 3.

Makes total sense. Who wants red/pink medicine?

Sorry he's not feeling well. There is nasty stuff going around right now.

Seriously! My mom took a hilarious picture of A yesterday and showed it to me later. It looked exactly like my great grandma, who had the funniest expressions. I was laughing so hard and trying not to. So. Much. Pain.

This is me today:

[rachelilly23]

I went to my closet this morning, took a look at what to wear, and groaned. DNW to wear clothes.

My coworker's sister had a baby yesterday. It was SUPPOSED to be a girl....

MIL sprayed me with the squirt bottle she has for the cats because I vacuumed the stairs after she told me not to. Adulting is rare in my family.

This is hilarious. Did you hiss at her in response?
