Yesterday at ten 'til 5, DH calls me and asks me to pay his credit card bill b/c he'd locked himself out of the house. Luckily (or not), I checked our account balance and realized the cashier's check that I deposited Saturday had not cleared. By the time

Okay, so quick recap of the weekend: Got rid of the ILs Friday afternoon. Got home from work, where DH tells me they wanted to stay the weekend, but he said no (thank God, or he would have had serious WWIII meltdown on his hands). Apparently they also

It's Friday, and I am getting rid of the ILs! I am finally making headway on some projects at work, but am still going to be super busy the next few months. I am halfway through reinforcing the row seams (four 6" seams in a row doesn't take much time),

I forgot earlier after I started venting about DH . . . I finished all the rows for the baby's quilt. I still have to go back and reinforce the seams (I used jelly rolls and have read that the seams can unravel if they're not reinforced on heavy-use quilts).

. . . or more likely, I will be the death of him. Apparently he and his dad made the decision that the ILs are coming to stay tonight, which is fine but I would have liked to have been in on that discussion since it's my house too. But then this morning

I think my right boob is getting stretch marks . . . so I started putting my belly butter on the girls as well. *Sigh* I told DH I have just started feeling "pregnant" the past couple of weeks, as far as the belly affecting how I move and other bodily

I think I may have to start trying to come into work a half hour early this summer. We just got our newest employee that I'm responsible for training, in addition to my usual activities (and my usual activities are backed up and crazy right now!), so

. . . not a book like my other "quick" updates end up. I'm crazy busy at work, so I have to just punch it in and move along. The weekend was good. DH helped Dad with the hay, and Mom, sis, and I went to a local fabric shop to find snap tape by the yard.

My night didn't go as planned. I got home to find out the cherry tree in our yard actually has edible cherries (I always thought they were the wild kind you can't eat), so I spent some daylight hours picking cherries before DH's coworkers could come today

The nursery is painted! We put together the crib and changing table last night, and it's starting to look more like a baby's room. We still have lots to buy and lots to do, but we're moving in the right direction. DH made french toast for supper last

Here are two of our ultrasound pics. We got a CD with some, and they also gave us a DVD of the whole ultrasound, which is way better to see. Pictures never look as cool as the real thing. I made DH go with me to look at some little boy stuff last night

So everything looked good and the baby is healthy - average and normal. We found out because Mike wanted to, and I'll say the whole thing is weird. All kinds of emotions come up that you don't realize are there, and it's just a weird situation. Then he

After getting more and more depressed about the idea of working after the baby comes (every day/week I get more upset about it), but knowing we can't afford some of the things we want without my income (like a house) after the baby comes, I've decided

Saturday morning, DH decided he wanted to go see his friends (who live a long ways away), so I spent the weekend by myself. I was slightly aggravated, as I'd hoped to have the nursery painted and be putting the furniture in it, but that will have to wait

So my DH has to go to a family wedding far away in October (I'll be 37 weeks and have already been told no by my doctor). My mom was going to come stay with me that weekend so I'd have someone there just in case I went into labor early (I doubt it, but

So I dug out the body pillow and used it last night. On the one hand I hate it because now I can't spoon with my hubby or cuddle with him if I'm cold. On the other, it did keep me from sleeping on my back - I slept on my left side all night. I tried to

I haven't really had cravings per se up to this point, I just tended to want more pasta and mexican or fast food than other foods, but now I guess it's becoming more specific. The other night around 8pm I wanted a strawberry lemonade smoothie, except

The nursery is going to be so cute! DH did one coat on the whole room (and he hates painting), and then we went to supper at Moe's before crashing on the couch to watch the Red Sox. DH hated both the samples I brought home, and we ended up picking the

I got home around 6pm after running some errands and DH had started painting the nursery. Yay!

So I was looking for something online and got the sneaking suspicion that the new filter was down . . . and here I am! I was doing okay today, having looked at the Nest this morning before work, but it is nice to be able to bop on while I'm waiting for

So I finally found out that they blocked all fun sites at work, so no Nest for me at work anymore. Boo! I really struggled yesterday and this morning (I came home for lunch), and ended up having a meltdown (thank goodness only the two older ladies that

It's because my work is craptastic. This morning I got on, posted my blog about the weekend, did some work, and went to a meeting. When I came back 2 hours later and tried to get on, all my "social" or "shopping" sites (basically everything that uses

I was bad today. I went to Walmart to get some Vick's Vapor Rub to use at night when I go to sleep and some more soup for the weekend. Well, I also got some Dreft and baby hangers. I'm going to wash the baby clothes I have and start organizing them/hanging

We are slowly moving towards painting the nursery this weekend. The other day, DH sprained his bad ankle at work and wouldn't move anything. Last night, I cleared a path to the new sewing area and started to move the cabinet but couldn't move it all the

So I forgot about this yesterday. When I was at MM before our vacation, I broke down and bought two packs of maternity underwear. I had already gone from a M to a L at Victoria's Secret, and I couldn't bring myself to buy a XL there. So I got a pack of

We have three nights to get the nursery completely cleaned out and prepped to paint. I tried to get us to work on it last night, but DH kept putting it off. We still have quite a bit in there, and we have tonight, Thursday, and Friday nights to do it.

Okay, so I'm swamped at work after a week away (I knew I would be), so this will be short until I can get caught up and have time to post more details. We had a great time in Hawaii. First off, everyone knows it's far away, but you don't realize how far
