-ONE MORE FRIDAY after this before I'm off for break/maternity leave! I mean, it's really closer to 2 weeks, b/c we have school until the 20th, but still, only one more friday!
- I found THE PERFECT GIRL to watch the baby when I go back to work on care.com... or at least she SEEMS perfect from her profile. I really feel like we would see things the same, and be able to communicate well... I sent her a message. Now i'm waiting for a reply. I am nervous. I have interviewed other people, and haven't loved any of them. and I feel the time crunch now to pick someone. I really don't want to use a day care center... i NEED this to work out...
-My younger dog has been being the grinch who stole christmas at our house... he has eaten part of our tree skirt 2 days in a row, and when we came home last night, 3 ornaments were off the tree, one of them had been chewed as well. He is a perfect angel the rest of the year, and he starts this crap EVERY year when we put the tree up. We closed him in the bedroom today... hopefully he calms down, and learns his lesson.
I have work party #2 tonight...and I really don't want to go. I just want to sleep all the time. The rainy crappy weather we're having right now isn't helping.
I go to the Dr. on Monday...yippee! My stomach bloat is horrendous right now, to the extent that I keep eyeballing my gut and say to myself that there had better only be one in there. Please baby jeebus let there only be one.

We drove to Philly last night and right now I'm sitting at a Mini dealership in the middle of Philly. I wish they'd hurry up and finish my mini, I'm huuungry. And I'm getting too many ideas about upgrading to the new four door mini.
On the plus side, I'm totally going back to our hotel to nap when I'm done.

I wore the absolute wrong outfit today to work. I have on really tight jeans, a grey shirt that hugs my stomach and a sweater that only buttons at the top and is open on the bottom.
We're having our office holiday potluck today, and I feel like my belly is going to get so bloated by the end of the day. I already feel like I have more of a pooch than I used to have. Hopefully people just think I'm overindulging with the holidays.
I had a doctor's appointment this morning and got to see the baby again! It will (probably) be the last time until he is born. The doctor got a great shot of his face, and his cheeks are so squishy! So adorable! And the doctor thinks he has hair.
On the way home, I took a cab. I think the cabbie was trying to swindle me out of money. I handed him a $20, he asked is I had a one (presumably to make change easier), I handed him one, and he gave me a 5 back. I almost paid $16 for a $6 trip! I kind of looked at the $5 strange and he was like, "Oh, that's not enough." Yeah, no shit. He ended up with a .14 cent tip. (Not really on purpose, but I was going to use the change from the $20 to tip him, but he got me all confused and turned around!)
Ugh. And I have to take a cab two more times today!
My gym does a toys 4 tots type of thing each year where you can grab a paper ornament off the tree that has an age and gender on it, and then bring in a gift fitting for them. I grabbed 2 ornaments a couple weeks ago and bought the presents. But now I haven't been to the gym since then because I feel so nauseous all day that I just can't get myself to go workout. I've been waiting to drop off the presents thinking I"ll feel better soon, but it doesn't seem to be happening so I think I'm just going to go to the gym today just to drop them off. Of course, the place where you drop them off is not in the front of the gym. I can't wait until I feel good enough to work out again.
I'm starving and already ate my lunch an hour ago.
I got a prenatal massage on Tuesday and wish I could have one every day.
Today is so slow, I had everything I needed to get done finished by about 9:30 this morning, and now I'm really just killing time until it's reasonable to leave.
I went to an appt on Wednesday. I always go to those things just EXPECTING them to say "sorry, there is no longer a heartbeat". But there was a heartbeat and it kept moving around like CRAZY. The technician was giggling because she would find it for like 3 seconds and then it'd move again. That happened for like 10 minutes until it FINALLY slowed down enough for her to get the heartrate.
My anatomy scan is scheduled for Jan 3rd! Can't believe it!
When I first found out I was KU, that board seemed not too bad for all of five seconds. Then I remembered the idiocy that resides on the Bump knows no bounds. Beebee brides=beebee pg women.

June is slow but now so bad despite two or three really dumb AWs. Today's FFFC half the people revealed to drinking booze which I haven't even done yet so there's hope for us.
I was talking to my mom on the phone yesterday about Christmas, and she mentioned that no one has asked her if they can host my shower. I don't think I'm going to have one, since I can't get back up to where my family lives until sometime after the baby is born.
I'm kind of sad about that. Not about not getting stuff, but that I'm going to be the only pregnant woman in my family that no one holds a shower for. Kind of makes me feel unliked.

Will your mom throw you a meet the baby brunch or something? After the baby comes? This isn't like a wedding shower, you mom can host it with out it being taboo

She can? I wasn't sure about that. I didn't want to mess up etiquette or anything.
Oh yeah, she totally can. My mom threw my family shower for me, and even people on the bump say it's ok, and they're real sticklers on that sort of thing... I understand what you mean about feeling left out... I'm the youngest out of all of my cousins, by like 15 years... the closest in age to me is my sister, and she's 12 years older. So it's sort of a weird dynamic. I'm also the only person in my WHOLE family who doesn't live in the same town with everyone else. So yeah... I'm left out also.
