OMG FastHands, that's so cute. Every so often I run into an old colleague in the hallway and I can tell he wants to say something SO BAD but his manners prevent him from doing so. And let's just say there isn't any gray line on whether I'm pregnant or not. Part of me wants to put him out of his misery, but a bigger part of me is wondering when he'll crack.
Urgh! I just got a message from my boss. He needs to do another risk assessment this week. That is my third one since I told work I was expecting at 12 weeks. It seems to be averaging one every four weeks. This is getting rather annoying, especially as I only work 15 hours a week from home!
I've been eating cheerios and drinking milk like it's my job. Tastes so damn good.
I haven't had a glass of milk in years prior to bfp.
Bodies are weird!
mrspost08- what is lightning crotch?! I could google, but I'm scared!
It's a pain in your crotch. Feels like lightening hitting it. Lol. I don't know how to explain it very well. I read about it on here before. Today I thought this has to be it when it hit.

I know. It's so funny. And I know it's horrible to let them stumble around, but pregnancy doesn't have a ton of perks, and this is one of them. lol. It cracks me up that women seem to be more comfortable being all up in yo bizz. Yesterday a girl at work saw me from halfway down the hallway. She cocked one eyebrow, pointed at me, and then mimed the shape of a belly bump with her hand. I just nodded and smilled, and she gave me a thumbs up. lol.
I told a few of my bosses last week and it didn't go over as well as I was hoping. :^) The one female manager was really excited for me though and bought me her children's favorite book as a present. Her sweetness almost offsets the rude comments and worried more about the project than the employees on the project attitude I got from the other managers. I have busted my ass for this project for the last two years. I don't need this right now. Now I'm going to wait and not tell the department head or HR person for a couple more weeks. I found out they are decided my raise and finalizing my promotion at the end of next week.
On the bright side we bought a crib from CL last weekend. It was in a grandparent's house so it was barely used. It is a light cherry color so it matches our trim almost exactly, has slats all around, and has a curved back...all of the things I wanted in a crib for less than half the price of a new one.
Also I found a dresser I really like on CL today as well! I'd like to give it a new solid color of white, a couple layers of poly, and then cut a new stained wood top out of cherry that follows the dressers profile.
Oh Fox, that stinks. There's a few on here who had less-than-understanding bosses if you want a place to vent about it. It's always disappointing when you don't get the reaction you hoped for or when people can't just be happy for you.
My MIL decided to continue her streak of giving us presents we don't want or need. I've never met anyone who so completely rejected the concept of a registry. She called literally 10 minutes after the UPS guy left to see how we liked it. In her words, she didn't see those things on our list so she bought them (implied-because she knows better than we do). Sigh. At least they're easily returned, unlike the bronze floating hand sculpture she sent us as a wedding gift. Maybe I'll pose with it for my HDBD picture tomorrow.
I need to put myself to bed early tonight because everybody is getting on my last damn nerve today.
We found a daycare center that we love, and had a great NT scan, both babies are looking great! Then I called and told my grandfather about the pregnancy and he was thrilled.

Oh man. Yes, we need to see the hand. Also, what baby gifts did she think you needed?
MrsDarcy - I'll have to try and find it tonight. It might be buried in the back of a closet. She got us a wipe warmer (which I'm absolutely not a fan of) and NMS burp cloths that are the same size as washcloths. They're like baby handkerchiefs. Out of everything we need and registered for, this is what she selects as our "missing necessities". I know I wouldn't be half as annoyed if it was a friend, which makes me annoyed with myself. Like I said, I need to put myself to bed early.

I feel you. Those really are odd gifts. I know some people are on the wipe warmer train, but I'm not one of them. I need an early bedtime too. Except, I need dessert more.
bowies, I've been wearing liners every day since the first tri. I am completely jealous of all you ladies who haven't had, ahem, regular leakage. If my water breaks, the thin liner isn't going to help me at all, though, so I'm not worried about it. Remember that only something like 10 percent of women actually have their water break, anyway.
Totally gross, but I wear liners every day even before becoming pregnant. It's only gotten much worse
My random is I've just had a ridiculous day. It all started this morning when I was leaving for work with my purse, work bag, an english muffin and my water bottle all in hand - I was running late, and my cat decided to lay down right where I was walking. Stepped right on her and now I have bloody cat scratches all up my one leg.
lol and as I type this the same cat just tried to jump on my lap as she usually does when I'm on the computer but my belly was in the way so she "bounced off" and fell back. hahahaha. No claws this time.
But yeah work was hectic, I had to cover a co-worker's class AGAIN that happens during my lunch break. That is the 4th time in two weeks so far. I've had to run to the dining hall, grab something to shove in my face and run back to the classroom eating my lunch on the way. I'm pretty sure that this is not how a pregnant woman should be eating lunch all the time. And then he tells me he's going to be out Thursday as well. WTF. I also have a potential long term sub coming in Thursday for my leave and she's suppose to do a lesson in my class and my lunch break (which is when I'm suppose to be covering this guy's class - again) is also when I'm suppose to meet with her and do my part of the interview. I don't know if I'm just cranky and tired or these past two weeks have been overly hectic but I'm beat.
