I hope it's ok to just start a thread for the week... there aren't too many of us so might be easiest to just have a running randoms? Let me know if we would like to change it though.

It's 3 am and I can't sleep... my mind is going crazy and I'm thinking way too much. I hate this.
In other news, it was my birthday yesterday. H got me the new outlander short stories compilation and then next week we're going on a train ride. Should be great!
Is that enough rambling? Will I be able to fall asleep? Tune in tomorrow for more adventures in the life of Whatsit.

happy belated birthday whatsit, hope you had a good one. i am assuming you've read all of the outlander books? i have read through book 4 and then took a break, i kind of forgot about them but it might be a good time to finish the series up. i haven't heard of the short stories i will have to check it out. where are you going on a train ride? i have been up since 4. i feel like once i wake up i am up for good these days. not much going on here today. i need to figure out what size pod we need to get for moving, but i think that will be the extent of my productivity.

Happy belated birthday whatsit! I was up at 1:15, 3:15, and 5:15 because I had to pee. I'm also nervous about my beta today, so I had dreams about that. I wish I could go back to bed...yawn!

I like the idea of a running randoms for the week! If it gets cumbersome we can always split it into daily threads.
I think it would be a good idea though to try and ask specific baby related questions in their own threads... Like registry, strollers, whatever... That way we are not accidentally lumping them into randoms and we can't find them later. Just my 2 cents.

I woke up this morning and for some reason the outside of my left foot really hurts. I have no idea why.

I had a hard time getting to sleep last night and now I'm awake because I heard the H getting ready for work. I almost thought about busting out my pregnancy pillow because my legs were sore from riding in the car for so long. But I don't want to take up the whole bed yet....

Happy belated birthday whatsit ! I was up at 1:15, 3:15, and 5:15 because I had to pee. I'm also nervous about my beta today, so I had dreams about that. I wish I could go back to bed...yawn! good luck today! i am also having to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night at least 2x - i guess this is a thing this early?

I don't typically get up at night to pee, but I drank about 106oz of water yesterday, so maybe that was why? I don't know. Now I'm worried that I drank too much water yesterday, and it will dilute the HCG in my blood, which will make my beta go down. I know how crazy that sounds though!

Happy birthday whatsit! Ditto on MOTN bathroom trips. I also didn't realize that would happen this early. I keep trying to ignore that I have to pee because it hurts my boobs so bad to get up, but then I just lay in bed awake and angry that I'm awake. Never-ending cycle. In other news, I'm going to be supervising a student intern starting tomorrow for 6 weeks. I'm kind of excited for the change. Work has been pretty blah lately.

Happy belated birthday whatsit! Sending you all sorts of positive vibes for great betas orangehibiscus. I have zero energy today, and DH is working overtime. So it is going to be a long day. I think I'll be taking the kids to McDonald's for lunch, so they can run off energy in the play area for a while.

Thanks ladies! So the train tour is from Jasper (Alberta) and goes into BC. So a guided sightseeing tour on the way there then a train ride back. Hopefully some wildlife as well. this will go through the Rocky Mountains. Just an idea of the views:

A late happy birthday whatsit! Jasper and area is SO gorgeous. I used to live in the Rockies in B.C. and it's been way too long seen I've seen those snow capped mountains. I had a super busy day yesterday so I'm having a hard time getting motivated to do what I need today. Also I agree with nuggetrn that pregnancy questions etc should get there own thread.

I am doing laundry and trying to get the kitchen cleaned up. We have a guy coming today to look at our broken dishwasher. I am a little annoyed with DH because he has not helped at all with all of the dishes and I have asked for help multiple times. The dishwasher was full when it stopped working and I did all of those dishes and they just keep piling up. So many dishes.... UGH.

Dishes are done. I have a few left to put away. I made DH feel bad and had him help me with the few I still had left. Now I am vacuuming and will probably mop. My brother was visiting and his dog is gross and sheds like crazy. I will be cleaning up his fur for weeks I think as it all settles on my floor. Blech. I am taking a break to eat... Probably a chicken sandwich

nuggetrn, what kind of dog? I keep thinking I want a dog, and we love dog-sitting for friends, but then I'm like "oh, hair...". I definitely appreciate the hair free household. Although I myself shed probably as much as a dog. It drives MH crazy.

Although I myself shed probably as much as a dog. It drives MH crazy. My brother's dog is a lab/rhodesian ridgeback mix. He has very short brown hair and weighs about 80 lbs. He is a typical big dog who thinks he's just a baby. He is not allowed on the furniture because the last time he was here he broke down one of the arms of our couch. Grrr. I am not a big dog person. We have 2 small dogs. They are about 15 and 18 pounds. They are brothers and they are shih tszu/Chihuahua/yorkie mixes. One of my dogs, Nugget is in my profile picture. They have hair, not fur and shed very little. They are seriously the best little dogs. I love them. And LOL to shedding as much as a dog. My hair is all over the bathroom. I am sure my husband is amazed I have any left on my head.

He's not allowed on the couch either We also have a min-pin/chihuahua mix. But he's more of DH's dog.

Just spent the day at the beach with the kiddos. That is one good thing about MN. You can always find a few beaches within a 5 mile radius of you Now I'm trying to get the energy to make dinner. I was originally planning on making Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joe's, but that sounds gross now :/

Although if there were beaches close by, my life would be in shambles because I'd do nothing but go there.

Hair all over the bathroom... Yes. I got a little dust buster but don't use it often enough apparently. Also I just got a TubShroom and it is the *best* for keeping hair from going down the tub drain.
