Busy putting the finishing touches on the house for the photographer. They come at 9am. When they're done DD and I are making our way to my dad's for our temporary relocation.
I was super sad about last night being her last night in her first home. She doesn't know any better now, but things are just happening so fast and I'm not ready for it.

Good morning. I woke up feeling very bloated and gross. Blah. DD has her first session of swim lessons tonight, so I'm excited to see how they go. Other than that, just another fun day at the office.

Happy Monday everyone! DS has off from school this week, so we've been trying to think of new things to keep him busy during the morning (when he is normally at school). DH found a recipe for home-made playdoh and it turned out great! DS likes to squish it and make me pretend to eat his "pancakes."
Other than that - baby moved a lot today - like, it was distracting while doing work because I'd get kicked in the pelvis and my whole body would move.
Oh - and I need tapa to start working soon. I miss it!!

I'm starting my Monday annoyed:
Speech lady showed up an hour and a half late. So everyone was up, showered, fed, and house cleaned by 7:30am for nothing
DD's quarterly review for speech was schedule for 10. I texted her case manager on Sat and Sun asking if we were still meeting. She finally texted back at 10:45 last night confirming our meeting. Technically I don't think we can meet without the 24 hour legal notice but I just want to get it over with so whatever.
Finally, we can't get into our school classrooms this week because the custodians havent waxed the floors (this was to be done last week). A group of 10 teachers were planning to come in, yak about our summers, go to lunch, and work a bit in our rooms today. Needless to say, those who drive 30+ minutes to school are not happy today either. I'm still at the house because of speech lady being late...
I'm hoping this afternoon is less annoying. Not how I wanted to start my week.

I'm sorry for all the feels mkrupar I hope it quickly turns to mostly excitement for you guys. This. We moved last summer. We were really ready to get out of house 1 into house 2 which is likely our forever house. House 1 no longer met our needs but I still got really emotional when I was in your spot. Lots of firsts in house 1. I told myself all of the good memories of house 1 will still be with us and we will make sooooo many more in house 2. House 1 is where things started but house 2 is where our kids will live their lives. It's where their childhood memories will be staged. You have even better things to come! |

Knowing I'm getting my Counsyl bloodwork this week or early next is messing with my head. Im nervous and I know there's nothing I can do and the information gained can only help but it's like right before you walk into an ultrasound and you realize everything could change.

danvers from your posts about work I feel like you really like your job and the other teachers you work with. Your students are lucky to get someone that's not just going through the motions!

My body is dragging after all the yard work we did this weekend - my thighs and back are not happy with me. I have my belly wrapped though and that is helping at least with my back.
We have had a TON of large expenses in the last few weeks. We bought all the stuff for the gardening work, then decided we needed a new laptop since our other 2 are mostly dead. After we did that, DH found out he needed new tires. Then in the past 2 weeks DS realized he wants to run everywhere and in our house of all hardwood floors, he's been really hurting himself with falls. So now we have 4 area rugs on the way.
I think we need a new dishwasher, plus a ton of big stuff left to buy for #2, and we've also been talking about replacing DH's car with something bigger before #2 arrives. Our bank account is crying lol.

mkrupar Hugs for all the emotions! I haven't experienced this yet, but rebeccabunch worded it perfectly, the best is yet to come. danvers Sorry for your morning, that all sounds very annoying. Hope speech lady at least showed up! AFM, I'm about to head out the door for my OB appt. It's going to be the worst and I wish it was already over. I get to do my 1 hr glucose challenge, followed by by TDaP and Rhogam shots. I'm a super big baby when it comes to needles! Can't wait to grab myself some McDonald's breakfast and ice coffee as soon as I'm out of there.

sorry gamergirl, I would not look forward to that OB appt either. It sounds like the one I will have in 2 weeks. Yesterday was V-Day! With my loss history, it such a feeling of relief to pass V-Day. Now I know my baby will have a chance. |

So it's been 20 mins and I haven't barfed yet from drinking the horrid glucose drink. Had to down 10oz of it in 5 mins. Also I was told no food or water by the nurse last week and then the tech said water was fine so I'm annoyed about that cos I am a bit dehydrated from no water since 9 last night. So I'll be chugging all the water for the next 3 hrs. I'll hang out here for the first hr and see how I feel. Hopefully I'll be ok and plan to run errands or rather drive errands lol which is all within 3 miles of the clinic so I can get some stuff done instead of sitting here doing nothing. They'd prefer I don't leave in case I can't make it back in time but I think I can handle driving a street down to DS pedi to drop off paper work eh??! Anyways hopefully I don't get a sugar crash.

Big hugs mkrupar. gamergirl , your appt today sounds like my appt tomorrow minus the Rhogam shots. Ugh. I missed you all. If I'm not at work on my laptop I use Tapa to keep up here. Tapa not working all weekend really sucked. I don't feel good. Saturday I felt really exhausted all day, despite a good night's sleep, but otherwise felt ok. Yesterday morning I felt pretty normal but got tired again towards the afternoon/evening. I chalked it up to working with 15+ toddlers in the nursery at church. But I feel really off this morning. I felt ok until I'd been up for about an hour and ever since I've felt weak and shaky. My legs feel weak and like they have lead in them. Vision is slightly blurry, like if I just woke up or something. Sort of thinking about going down to our on-site clinic and asking a nurse to check my BP or something. IDK. It's like I'm just really tired but I actually got decent sleep over the weekend and we didn't do anything crazy. ETA it sort of reminds me of when my thyroid gets out of whack (hyperthyroid) but I just had my levels checked at my last OB appt, about 4 weeks ago. |

mkrupar, rebeccabunch, summed it all too well. Memories will live long with you and so cliche but home is where you make it. I've moved too many times in different countries and always think of it as life's great adventure! You and your family are starting your next great adventure and will have stories and memories to tell.

The vision part is not something to toy with. What have you eaten today? This weekend? |

arimaythea, sounded like you got a lot accomplished over the weekend. Hope you're able to put your feet up this week. Stinks about the extra expenses. We've had them too especially with all the reno work and getting hit with unexpected repairs along the way. Even though hubs is trying to DIY as much as he can, he still had to go get all kinds of tools to do it. Luckily we don't need much with baby coming on board so that has been a relief.

The vision part is not something to toy with. What have you eaten today? This weekend? Yeah, it is hard to describe my vision. Almost like my contacts are too dry or I just woke up. My diet this weekend was normal, as far as I can remember. I did have more breakfast than usual today, thinking maybe I needed some extra in my belly. |

Aww mkrupar I get it. We sold our first home about a month ago and while H and I aren't very sentimental, DS still asks why we left and if he can meet the lady who bought it. When we were moving, he saw his dresser gone and cried and said "now how am I going to get dressed?" And that hit me in the feels. |

Taitai, DS loves play doh too and I also make my own and after many tries found one which is greaseless. If anyone wants the recipe LMK I'll post it here. Also another thing we love to do is to make foot prints with his animals and dinosaurs. I'll roll out dough and he'll make foot prints. I also have an old set of plastic cookie cutters he uses to make shapes and letters etc with. Because it's inexpensive to make playdoh I can make large tubs of it and I'll model vegetables and fruits and give him a plastic knife he can cut the food up with. All that keeps DS occupied for a good hr hour at a time. We also make tire tracks! Can't y'll tell I love playdoh too lol!

gamergirl, GL for your OB appt. this am. Needles suck. And you have a bunch. I'm so over it. I felt like Swiss cheese when I was going through IVF years ago. So. Many. Needles. Of every length and size imaginable. Do not miss that period. If anything it's made me indifferent to them so I couldn't care less anymore about it. 😬

The prime thread made me go check out the amazon app instead of running my planned errands lol! Just did my 2nd BD. Slightly light headed the first hour but feeling normal now. Just starving. Going to head down the street to pedis office and I think I'm going to pick me up a hot sandwich too! My cheese and apple I brought suddenly doesn't sound it'll satisfy me.
