Awesome news LadyNymeria ! And congrats to your H merryrissmas !

I'm exhausted today. Bad night of sleep Wednesday, long day yesterday, went to bed late last night after a long and very annoying HOA meeting... I just want to crawl into bed and sleep. But I need to work. So obviously I'm sitting here PW'ing it up on TCF.

Next week is a disaster. Full week of work, HOA committee/subcommittee meetings every night but Friday, OB appointment Wednesday, and then an HOA election Saturday.

I'm tired just reading about your next week. Good luck!

With DS it took me a longer time to feel movement both inside and out because I had an anterior placenta. So if anyone has one keep in mind it could take until well past 20 weeks to feel movement.

Yay for feeling movement!! I had an anterior placenta with DS too. I was so bummed when I found out bc I knew it'd take me longer to feel him. I'd say it was about 20 wks for me too. FX it's not the same this time.

Why do people/companies think shamrocks and 4-leaf clovers are the same thing?? I want to buy a shirt for St Patrick's Day that makes it obvious I'm pregnant but so many cute designs use 4-leaf clovers instead of shamrocks!! Grrr.

[pismoduo]

Thanks ladies. I think it's going to be like this for a while, since we just spun up a new project that really does need to get done.

I am going to have to start putting together a plan to slowly dial back as we get into the summer. Originally I thought I could make it until early August to cut most of the stuff that goes on with this HOA, but I might need to start sooner if we're going to be running at this level of intensity for a while.

Sorry your daycare search is not going well. Sounds pretty rough getzystark

FFFC: I do not know the difference. I'm guessing it's number of leaves?

Not gonna lie, I'm definitely considering it...

Cookies keep well. Get them both, have the shake right then and there and the cookie later.

This is exactly what I was going to suggest. And, you know, oatmeal is good for you, so it's necessary for the baby

[lovetruly2015]

Another little FFFC one of my managers apperently thinks I took a leave of absence for the duration of the pregnancy instead of quitting. When I left yesterday she said see you in seven months or so. I said nothing and just walked away.
No you won't not unless I have no other choice thank you very much. Just over a year and I've delt with more nonsense from the human population at that store then I ever have in my life. No I don't plan on coming back I'm not that crazy yet thanks.

[serendipity731]

Great news LadyNymeria and merryrissmas!

cbowl ugh alcohol breath is the worst. I'd be annoyed too.

getzystark what a nightmare! I hope you find a good one! Maybe someone you know can refer you to a home daycare?

cassey910 yay for a great appt!

pismoduo oy, that sounds exhausting!

Yup - number of leaves. 3 for a shamrock, 4 (obviously) for a 4-leaf clover.

Google was prepared for this question! (ETA: different pic because the first one was huge)

merryrissmas, congrats on DH's job! That's awesome, celebrate with the cookie and the milkshake.
lovetruly2015, that's amazing, I'm so glad you didn't say anything.
getzystark, that sucks so hard, I hope one comes up that just clicks.
cbowl, I make DH sleep in the spare room if he's had a night out. Dammit, it's just hitting me that after September we no longer have a guest room!!

[serendipity731]

DH got hm early from wk yesterday so we went out for an early dinner and bought a new fridge!! Our current one is super small (like 9 or 10 cu. ft) so we need it so bad! And I was able to get us free delivery! Woot!

At dinner I missed a call from my ob re: my test results and the office had already closed. I called first thing this morning and everything came back ok and we're having another BOY!

FFFC: Even though I'm thrilled we're having a healthy boy, I was a little bummed for a sec that it's not a girl. I was hoping for cute little dresses, but at least we don't have to buy any clothes now. And I'm stoked for brothers.

[singingsea]

Ha I just sent a text to H and he is doing laundry right now. That partially gets him out of the doghouse. Like one foot. If he makes dinner or procures pizza that would be even better.

[LadyNymeria]

Congrats on the good test results and being team blue serendipity731 !!

[singingsea]

Congrats on a healthy boy serendipity731! Yeah the Easter dresses that are out right now are killing me. So freaking cute.

[pismoduo]

I need to convince H that since I agreed to drive all the way to his office (25 mins away, we usually meet in the middle) for lunch, I should totally just pick up Thai food from the place across the street from my office.

This won't be that difficult, lately he's just been saying "You're the one who's pregnant and picky, just pick something."

[f14mama]

serendipity731, congrats on the boy and healthy results! p.s. I wasn't on the board yesterday, so am catching up today, and I'm dying laughing at "construction outside my ass". Could be the best thing to happen on this board yet.

Ya we only need one day a week I think so we may end up with a Nanny. I really REEEEEALLY like the idea of a center though because of curriculum but it doesn't look promising. I have lots of time though and it's a good thing I started early!

[merryrissmas]

Congratulations on your healthy boy, serendipity731! Yay!

[zengal]

Congratulations on YH's job merryrissmas! Uh, also, you definitely got the cookie and the shake too, right? That was my immediate response to your question.

LadyNymeria what a fantastic sequence of events!! Well-received news, WFH, bonus, and you can out yourself freely!

cbowl singingsea both of YH need to do a whole bunch to make up for last night! Laundry is a good start-

lovetruly2015 enjoy your freedom!!

getzystark Uf. Looking for a DC is so much work! I really hope you can find something you're comfortable with.

pismoduo I'd peace out from that HOA sooner too- sounds like such a headache!

serendipity731 Yay!! Good results and brothers too!

[zengal]

I'm so excited for the weekend, as per usual. Fun errands, hanging out with MH and baby, yummy food to anticipate!
FFFC: I've never seen GoT (always have to pause in my head to not say "got"), the walking dead, downton abbey, and there's more. I feel so alone at the water cooler.

Fix this!!!!

Walking Dead is good too (got kinda boring in the middle for a bit IMO, but this season has stepped it back up), haven't seen Downton Abbey to comment.

Haha! This scene is recreated very often in our house! Love it!

[serendipity731]

Does anyone watch How to get Away With Murder? Holy shit, last nights episode was intense!

I've not seen Downton Abbey. And until recently I was 2 seasons behind in Walking Dead. But I really love Game of Thrones. It started as just "well I read the books so I HAVE to see the show..." but now I like it on its own merits as well.

And yea, I'd like to peace out of the HOA as soon as possible. But I made a commitment and I'm part of a minority voting bloc right now that's really trying to turn this place around. I hate to duck out on them before I really need to.

[pismoduo]

Oh dear god, I just had the most amazing lunch. H convinced me to go to this Asian fusion restaurant in the casino near his work instead of picking up Thai food to go. For $11 I got enough pad thai and brown rice to have way too much to eat for lunch and I still have enough that I'll probably just heat it up for H and I for dinner and add a salad to the side. So much food. So full.

Also, I need to start closing my office door, because the pregnancy toots are real today...

[LadyNymeria]

My productivity and ability to focus did not come back to work with me after lunch. So ready to go home. Less than an hour...

[serendipity731]

flyakite DS recently went down to 1 nap (he rarely takes a quick late afternoon nap) and they're about 2-3 hrs now. Before they were about 1 - 1 1/2 hrs each. Fx it's the same for you!

[pismoduo]

I just bought a can of root beer and a pack of red vines. Now I'm shamelessly sitting in my office using the red vines as a straw in my root beer.
