I am going to obgyn to get my IUD checked and while out and about might get some new clothes for myself I need to lose 10 more pregnancy pounds but I am sick of wearing the same dresses all the time since they fit.
I felt the baby move for the first time last night. It's not as exciting to anyone else as it is to H and I, of course, but it was so amazing that I just want to keep talking about it anyway.
I got a coupon for a free box of store brand cereal, so I thought I'd try something new. I picked up granola with no sugar added because I like to control the sweetness myself. I pour a bowl and tasted a piece this morning and it was pretty sweet - turns out they put malitol in it. That'll teach me to not read ingredient lists. At least it was free.
I told my parents we're pregnant this weekend. My dad's wife (I refuse to call her my stepmom) decided it would be great to tell me that 'no one talks about miscarriages until you have one and then you find out they're really common. So, you might have one and if you do, it's really not the end of the world or a big deal.' I mean, she's right but fuck dude. The words that came out of my mouth were not very ladylike.
My dad had his surprise retirement party this weekend and was so excited my sister and I flew in for it. It was really fun.

That's such a great feeling - talk about it all you want
When I got further along I used to be a mean mommy and poke my belly to get the baby moving just because I wanted to feel it.
Yesterday I went to the dentist to get a cavity filled. And then they also put down some new enamael, or whatever, where some had worn off. I feel like my dentist loves gadgets. My mouth was like a clown car with 6 different drills, 4 scraper thingies, that light thing that cures the filling, etc.
I also realized that I have never had gas for a filling at this dentist, which is probably good since I have to drive myself home. Maybe dentists don't do it that much anymore? Obviously I wasn't missing it, I just need the shots to feel numb and I'm good to go.
My dentist will give you gas in addition to novacaine if you're nervous about getting work done. He also gives happy pills to take before you come in if your anxiety is really bad. Love my dentist!

I have my first therapy appointment this afternoon. I'm nervous. I'm sending D to the babysitter's at 10 even though my appointment isn't till 2. It's partly because I want her to nap there, but it's mostly so I get a few hours of peace.
Oh I have one more. I found out yesterday my kid is ticklish and it is the funniest thing ever!! I may have stripped her down to her diaper and tickled her to hear her giggle for a good half hour last night.
I think I may not leave the house today until my class at the gym at 4:00. It is muggy out and I don't have anything I absolutely have to do. Plus I am lazy.
Um, just met my new doctor and he is rather hot. We were doing that weird thing where you get giggly and can't really make 100% eye contact cause you both can feel the chemistry.
I'm thinking it might be a little too much to let him do my pap next week. Dammit. I'm kinda flustered :/
I haven't used my work cold cup for like a week. And now I can't find the straw that goes with it. I think someone threw it away. Grrrrr.
Also, I'm leaving work early today to see my new nephew! About an hour ago, SIL was 5cm dialated and 100% efaced. Whatever that means. EXCITTTTTEEEDDDDD!

I don't get nitrous often at the dentist, typically just for longer procedures because I get anxious. But when I get it, they give me a minute or two of just oxygen to wake me back up when it's all done. I love the stuff, if I could get a tank of nitrous for my house, I just might.
I turn 30 today :S I feel old since H is 28 till October. I get to celebrate by watching my kids all day, and visiting with BFF and her newborn tonight! I'm still trying to figure out a nice baby gift for her.

I wasn't aware they'd be drilling at all yesterday. I thought they'd just be replacing enamel, and stupidly thought it would not require drilling. I don't mind going to the dentist, and as long as I'm numb, the scraping and pressure don't bother me. But I really don't like the sound of the drills. I felt like I wasn't emotionally prepared for this appointment, LOL.
The good news is there was actually a balance on my account from when I last paid for dental work. I was like, "Are you sure? That doesn't sound right..." LOL.
I'm so tired. Theo has started doing this thing where he'll wake up at night and I'll go to feed him but he won't open his mouth because he's lazy. He opens it a teeny bit, tries for about 2.5 seconds, then he's like forget it, I'm going back to sleep. It's super cute, but unfortunately it causes him to wake up more often at night because he IS hungry, he's just too lazy to do anything about it.

Ugh. I had a friend do this. Do they not hear the words they're saying? Sorry she was a douche.
Someone a couple cubicles away is filing their nails with one of those cardboard nail files. It's gross.
And seriously, I'm going to stop opening things at work. Every time I do, I find a new problem. I'm kind of over it.
H took our older dog to the vet yesterday because she hurt her leg jumping into the truck on Sunday. He was driving home and the ball joint on the truck exploded. So I had to leave work to go pick up the dog since he was going to have to call AAA to get a tow. So now we have a broken dog and a broken truck. Wee!
I had a dream that I was at a restaurant and papie was there with her family on vacation and I went over to introduce myself and she was NOT ok with it and basically ignored me lol. Then when I left she came out and said her H didn't know about the board. I'm awkward in my dreams.
LOL
I'm dying because it seems that I come up regularly in nestie dreams. My H definitely knows about the board.
It's hooooooot today.
I'm very excited to be back at work, my kids drive me crazy.
I finally watched Mad Men last night and am still all wtf about it.
It's hot and humid out today. The office AC is set to 75 degrees. I would prefer it a tad lower, but I think it's probably a good average temperature that most people find comfortable in an office setting. Right?
Three women in my office are FREEZING and constantly vocalize how FREEZING they are. Two of them have space heaters running under their desks.
Don't get me wrong, run your space heater all you want, I don't care, it doesn't affect me. But seriously, if you're wearing a tank top to work in an office that you are ALWAYS cold in, maybe bringing in a cardigan or something isn't a bad idea. And stop complaining! That's my chief complaint. STOP COMPLAINING.
It's 90 degress outside today and I'm in a sweater. I'm always cold and running my space heater too but I dress for the office, not for the weather! People always walk by and comment about me being in a sweater. Um, hi, have you met me? I've been working here for 5 years and wear sweaters/run my space heater all day every day. This is nothing new people! But I don't complain about how cold I am either.
H has been telling me he's ready for us to TTC for months now, and I've been the one holding us back. Since we've been working toward maybe starting in a few months, we sat down and had a talk about what having a baby would really mean and what things in our life would have to change, and now he's not sure he's ready anymore. I am way more heartbroken about this than I expected to be, seeing as I'm the one who has been wanting to put it off. I didn't realize how badly I want this until his priorities suddenly changed. :/
I felt the baby move for the first time last night. It's not as exciting to anyone else as it is to H and I, of course, but it was so amazing that I just want to keep talking about it anyway.

Thanks! I've been pretty anxious so far because I am an over-worrier, so knowing I am starting to feel him/her move is so reassuring. Also, I can so see myself doing the same thing you did in the coming weeks - I figure it might be mean, but so is going grey prematurely, which I know is bound to happen! Haha.
There is nothing better than giant, sloppy baby kisses. Emily has started this and it's hysterical. I'm pretty sure she's trying to eat my face. LOL
Awww. J will not kiss me, and it makes me sad. I kiss her ALL the time! She must know how. Sometimes she will blow me a kiss. And by sometimes, I mean it has happened like twice. Ugh, she is so unaffectionate. She doesn't hug much either.
My kid was not affectionate at all as a baby. Once she hit 18 months be become much more cuddly.
