I feel like instead of feeling blue from ppd I have the opposite and sort of a manic high from having a baby. Leo is smiling and cooing and you guys it makes me tear up everytime he looks at me and smiles. I love love love him so much. And I love everything about him as a baby. I feel so freaking blessed. He is perfection. I think it is because I know this is my last and I am determined to cherish it. I don't want to leave him in three weeks for work. Wahh
This sentimental post brought to you by a mom who got a solid six hours of sleep while her son slept 7 hours straight lolololol. I feel so refreshed.
Also I discovered that our new gourmet cupcake shop has peanut butter nutella filling. I am officially in heaven.
I just watched the recap of Gabby Douglas winning the gold, and I'm crying in my office. Lol.
It's Friday...yay!
I had a pretty discouraging doctor's appointment yesterday. I guess it really isn't too big of a deal, but this pregnancy has gone so well the whole time I just hate for things to go south now, with just a few weeks left. I feel like I'm doing something wrong
My H turns 30 next week and I have no idea what to do for him. I would love to throw a party for him, but I don't have the energy to plan something like that right now.
My mom is so good to me. She e-mailed me the other day about sending me money to get some things we still need for the baby. I told her not to go crazy and gave her an amount I felt comfortable with - she e-mailed me back saying "well I was going to give you a lot more than that!". Lol, ok mom!
1. I'd really like to hear back from jobs that I've applied for. 2. I can't wait for H and my friend to move out! We've helped him get on his feet but I'd like my house back to normal.
I think what you really meant to say is: Budgeting sucks.
I've been doing a lot of shopping lately. Between the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, Sephora, Junghwa, and feeling like I need to stock up on everything imaginable at Target before I move to China I'm pretty sure I've spent all my shopping money for the next year. This is not good considering I still need more work clothes, a new black purse, new black heels, and more. Thank God my birthday and Christmas are only months away.
I'm getting the second round of the Gardasil shot today, and probably a few other vaccinations for travel. I also have to get visa photos taken. I feel hideous, this should be fun.
Eddy, that's how #2 was for me too. It's great, right? So much more enjoyable when you are relaxed and know what to expect.
Mine:
1. I keep almost crying today. I don't know wtf is wrong with me. Music is making me teary. Like I just love it so much I almost cry. This is so unlike me.
2. I feel like shit b/c L's preschool is taking a field trip to an amusement park today. It was supposed to be last week, while we were on vacation. So we were going to go as a family and meet up with her buddies. But it rained. So they rescheduled to today. TONS of parents are going, but H and I can't b/c we were just off last week. She was sad about it, but trying not to show it.
3. My Dad is at a pulmonologist now. They are still trying to figure out why he was so sick (in ICU for a couple of weeks) back in Feb. and why his lungs aren't healing fully. I am not sure what's more scary - that they'll figure out what's wrong, or that they won't.
4. Effing MUMFORD tomorrow. And Dawes, Apache Relay, the Maccabees, and others!
What's going on, poppyseed? Hang in there, you're in the home stretch!
I hate babysitter shopping. I contacted four or five girls on care.com this week and finally one has responded! I'm hoping she works out, lol. I thought about putting out an ad, but I'm too picky.
I need to call DirecTV AGAIN to try and figure out wtf is wrong with our remote. It's really annoying.
1) I was approved for unemployment. One less thing to worry about, yay. 2) my leg finally scabbed over after 5 days. 3) I'm going to have a mommy daughter day today with my mommy, yay! I want to get brunch on the beach. 4) I had an awesome dream about making out with a fireman that was not my husband. Oops.
It's 6 am and I've been up piddling around the house since 5 am. Im not tired and feel pretty good. I guess I could workout. I'm working from home today for the sole purpose of helping DH get his resume done and his LinkedIn spiffed up. Hopefully he finds a job soon.
Aww Puddle it will be okay!! There are tons of resources out there (Frkls being one of them, how awesome is she for that!!) and don't forget about the new insurance stuff too that should help.
How have you been feeling otherwise?? So many people are in the last stretch of pregnancy now, I'm getting all nostalgic!!
1. I had a dream last night that I had a baby. He was beautiful and his name was Isaiah. I want a baby.
2. I came in this morning and there was a tiny, tiny stupid thing that pushed me over the edge to decide that I am done here and am seriously looking for a new job. I will miss the kids so much, but unless I can work with them all the time, every day, its not worth it.

H's birthday party is tomorrow and I have about 8 million things to do. I also have a meetup tonight, so I won't be getting anything done after work. Eek!
Awwww that's so amazing!! Do you not know the sex? That must be all sorts of cool. Sometimes I wish we'd gone that route but we had so many surprises just in the pregnancy that I felt I had to know SOMEthing concrete lol. I'm so excited for you! And good for you w keeping the GD in check w just diet -- that's so awesome.
3. I wanted to surprise DH with a trip down the shore, but he is up in the air about some other plans this weekend. I really just want to go on a mini vacation.
1. Today is my last day of work for a week! I leave for Bermuda on Sunday... can't wait!
2. I spent $146 on 3 bras at Victoria's Secret. Then as I was walking out, I saw that the Pink line had buy 2 for $42. So I returned 2 of the bras and got 4 in return. I returned the third bra and $58 went back on my card. I like having more product AND getting to keep my money.

1. I'm really wanting a bubble necklace right now. At first I thought they were ugly, but they've grown on me. I'm a follower.
2. DD is in the process of giving up her morning naps and it is not going well.
3. I really wish the military would get off the stick and give us our orders. We already know where we are going but we can't do ANYTHING till we get the hard copy orders. I just want to be out of this stupid town.
4. I wish I wasn't so damn awkward all the time. I feel like my awkwardness is even coming across online.
5. I want to buy DD some new toys. Not because she NEEDS them or is bored with them but I'm sick of seeing the same ones all the time and listening to the same toy music over and over again.
I love my husband very much, and I know that he loves me. But I feel like his life would've been so much better if he would never have met me at all, and I feel guilty and selfish about it.
Also, I just found out that an elderly friend that I've known for a very long time is not well at all and hospice has been called in.
Seriously, buy Browzings by Benefit. I feel like I have good eyebrows, but this has enhanced my makeup. I feel like it highlights my eyes and my makeup just looks more put-together. My sister bought it about a month ago and she says it's currently her favorite makeup item (and she has ROCKIN' eyebrows naturally).
Also, buy Urban Decay's All-Nighter makeup setting spray. My makeup looks just as good at 9pm as it did at 7am!
One of my co-workers is entirely too happy at 7:30 in the morning. I'd like to just punch her in the face.
I can't believe I only have 4 weeks left until I have this baby. I feel like it's gone so slow, yet so quickly. My shower is tomorrow and I just keep thinking "It's about time". I still have so much to do and so much to get and I'm so antsy to do it but didn't want to until after I had the shower so I knew what I really needed.
Puddle, I know the feeling. My milk never fully came in with dd so we were formula feeding by the time she came home from the hospital 6 weeks later. I felt like such a failure. I'm bound and determined to make it work this time around, but I'm scared shitless that I won't be able to and it makes me sad.
We think we found a house! We can't get in to see it until this afternoon and we're going to a wedding so our realtor is meeting us to write up the contract since she is going out of town then we are going to the open house Sunday. If all goes well (we suspect it will) she is going to send the contract Sunday night. It has a huge deck, back yard, and all wood floors.
One of my best friends is getting married today! I'm so happy for her and her fiance is seriously awesome.
I am so sick of my BMB but for some reason I can't stop myself from going there. I know I shouldn't be surprised since it's the bump, but the lack of maturity from most of the women on the board is a little scary and they're all so sickeningly sweet with one another. I just need to delete the link and not go back.
Two night ago the girls were up 5 times between them. Last night they only got up once each to eat and H and I each fed one and had them back down within 30 minutes, but then they decided that 5:15 was a good wake up time for the day. We don't mind getting up to feed them at all, but they keep pushing their wake up time up earlier and earlier and usually only get about 8-9 hours of sleep total a night. I'm hoping this is just because of their teething and that they'll start to sleep until at least 6 or 7 again soon.
