A small vent to close my Friday random: I had my annual work review today, and as expected, my 2 attorneys and the office manager gave me stellar reviews, no complaints, etc. I am happy with that part. But the raise the firm gave me is PITIFUL, and even insulting. It's not even a COL raise - I got almost the same raise my first year working for the firm 6 1/2 years ago. I almost would rather they give me no raise rather than the crap they called a raise today. I knew it would be crappy because it is typical for the firm to basically give no raise once you've been there for so many years, plus I got a pretty good raise last year, so I wasn't expecting much this year. It was just hard to smile and say "thank you" when I was told what the raise was when it equals a mere few dollars for each paycheck. I know I sound spoiled, it's just how I feel. Luckily H's salary and bonus makes up for the crap salary I make.
I'm heading into work for a few hours.. Today is my last day in the office until after P is born, it is also DH's last day at work for 4 weeks.

Baby watch has started. I've been checking everyday to see if you post at least once. Your days as a pregnant lady are numbered. So excited for you!!!!!!
My parents are coming in a week and I'm so excited, I really need help to get the nursery ready and I haven't seen them in a few months so it will be so nice to have them here. I need to get all my shopping/wrapping shipping done soon. I always try to get it done early, but then can't decide or am missing a few things and then stuff always gets there late. Luckily we did a lot of ordering online and shipping directly to people this year.
H just got pretty sick last night/today and I'm hoping he doesn't give me any cooties!! My puppy was sick this morning too. I did some major cleaning and wiping everything down so that should help.
