Holy crap, last night was awful. I attempted to go to bed around 9:30, which is totally normal for me. I was so nauseous, and rockin' an awesome back ache.... needless to say, sleep did not happen. DH rubbed my back for a long time, rubbed my head, tried everything but I could not relax, and I could not get comfortable. ... so at 2:30 we took a hot shower, then rented Two Guns.. LOL.. We finally fell asleep around 4. ... that was not a good time.
Now we are just lounging around, DH isn't feeling great - We're headed to the farmer's market in a little while, then a few other places. Hopefully we are going to get my home office set up this weekend so I can actually get some work done.
Tomorrow my Mom is coming over & DH is going to my boss' house to fix his washer.
We are decorating for Christmas and celebrating DHs birthday. All he wants for his bday is this baby, but Gabriel seems to be perfectly content where he is lol.
Surprise, I am at work and patiently waiting for H to bring me an Decaf Iced Coffee. My office chair is terribly uncomfortable. I am looking into buying a yoga ball to sit on. These 6 day weeks and 9+ hours days are taking a toll on me. I am really cranky about my coworker who always leaves early, and always takes days off...
I am really looking forward to my one day off tomorrow

My husband and his dad are building the inserts/cabinets for the baby's closet today! So excited to see the finished product. I'm going with my sister to her company Christmas party tonight. Sad I can't drink but helllooooo buffet! Stoked to eat for free!

I have no motivation today. I hope to run a couple errands, but its so cold outside and the OSU/ou game is on. I might just stick around the house and watch the game. Go Pokes!
Today is H's birthday -- I feel bad but I really have no energy in a big celebration. He is watching his football game, and DD and I made him a cake and gave him presents. We will probably go out to dinner just to get out of the house. It's frigid here with more snow/sleet expected tonight, so I am just unmotivated and cranky. I need to snap out of it for his sake.
We've had a productive day - went to the mall early and bought some gifts. We did a little grocery shopping for DH's man party tomorrow (husbands watching football at our house during my baby shower).
We're off to walk the dog and get our xmas tree soon!
I feel like I'm hitting some annoying parts of 1st trimester again. Bouts of nausea, food aversions, insomnia. Ugh. Super annoying. But at least, just a little over a month left!
We also got a lot of the bigger stuff we still needed from amazon today (hurray 15% off!). I'm mainly excited about the dresser and crib bedding, so that I feel like we can actually be ready for baby when she gets here!
We are staying home today and just relaxing. Sleep isn't happening as much as it needs to around here with the every hour potty wake ups. Does anyone limit fluids towards the end of the night to help with this? DH and I needed this restful weekend though we've been non stop since October it seems. My back has been hurting since Thursday and I'm not sure it'll get better before the end of pregnancy or not.

This is a completely silly whine but I mentioned to H today that I wanted to maybe put something on facebook soon about the pregnancy for the people who I don't see very often in real life, but he wasn't too happy with the idea. He doesn't like FB awing and doesn't like everything out there on the net, plus he hasn't even told his parents about it yet. I told him I understand and I won't put anything on FB without his consent. I wasn't going to do some big AW post, just post a picture of this cute ornament I got of a snowman and snow woman with our names, "We're expecting!" and June 2014. I'm respecting his wishes and won't post anything on FB for now, and he said he'll call his parents this weekend but I might bring it up again in a few weeks after we have our elective U/S to find out the gender to see if he's softened to the idea anymore.
Like I said completely silly and nothing I'm really upset about, just a little vent.

I think your idea for announcing on facebook is cute. I hope he comes around to the idea once he's told his parents.
Why hasn't he told them yet? If I'm being too nosy, you can tell me to shut up

not being too nosy H just doesn't really have a close relationship with his parents the past few years, and he's in a stage right now where he is waiting to see how long it takes until they call him - it can go for months before they contact (unlike me who talks to her parents, esp Mom, at least once a week). Plus I also asked him to hold off on telling them for awhile after we found out I was pregnant 10 weeks ago because his Dad likes to talk and I didn't want the news spreading through his large extended family and getting posted on FB before we were ready to tell people. They are good people the past few years have been just kinda rough with contact - we haven't seen them since Christmas 2011.

Makes sense. I actually have a similar relationship with my dad (my mom is remarried and I consider her and my step dad "my parents"). He pretty much never calls me. Or even returns my calls. It's sucky. So I feel for your dh in that regard.
And it also makes sense you'd want to wait to tell them since his dad likes to talk. I have an aunt that I know won't be able to keep her mouth shut. So we won't be telling extended family for a bit longer.

I woke up at 4:30 and was up pretty much til 9, when I rolled over and slept til noon! Then we went to my parents' to watch various games. It was a nice relaxing day.
I drool in my sleep now. Like, a lot. It's so weird, though Dr Google tells me it's not all that unheard of in pregnancy.

I finished my Christmas baking today - twenty dozen cookies, whew. Now I just have to finish shopping and do my cards, lol. I haven't even bought my cards, yet, lol. Maybe this week...
- My mom, DD and I did a practice run to the hospital so she could learn what to expect - see the parking lot, the lobby, the elevator, the cafeteria - all the important stuff to a three year old.
- I've ordered the last of the Christmas gifts (an earlier order needs to be exchanged so I ordered the replacement).
- Last night I built the "big sister present" doll house for DD and hid it at the back of the closet.
- I keep washing baby clothes and related stuff (all of DD's hand me downs, plus more hand me downs from a friend, plus some generous gifts.)
- The living room looks like Amazon threw up, but at least most of the actual gifts are wrapped, it's just the opened boxes which need to be broken down.
- I registered with both the CA and NY bars again so I won't need to worry about that in the new year.
We are getting there, slowly but surely. If my water breaks tonight, we could bring her home and make it through to New Years.
