hello! i am here! and caught up!
so much happens on this thread in such a short time.
first, whomever said they were having a "foot in mouth" day - this is me ALL THE TIME. you think i'm exaggerating, which i do at time, but my friends actually call this "i pulled a Mirolee". i tend to be (too) curious by nature, so i ask horrible questions at inappropriate times: examples: "do Asian people have worse peripheral vision?" "is it ok to call a person from India, Indian?" "you're from X country? i know how to say, "i am a hot girl and good dancer" in that language! can we be friends?" - i'm fairly certain most of you would not be friends with me IRL because you are far more classy than i. (but in my defense, it really does stem from curiosity about other cultures, and not know the appropriate way to ask my inappropriate questions).
i had a busy weekend: friday night was a retirement party (not mine, hehe). saturday was clean, groceries, visit friends (early dinner), birthday party (late night dancing). we got home at like 1230am! and with the time change - i did not do well. sunday, woke with a headache and went to my bff (with twins) baby shower. i'm not gonna lie, i was a completely JEALOUS SELFISH WHORE when not pregnant, and didnt attend showers - but now that i am, i can emotionally go again to them. (and btw, i TOTALLY think people ttc that dont go to baby showers is acceptable). so that was fun - i brought my nephew who is the funniest person ever and light of my life. sunday night i made fish tacos, then spend some time being emotional with OH - esp when "when i was your man" by Bruno Mars came on the radio - reminds me of my ex and how angry i was/am at him, and how blessed i am with OH, who is so affectionate and loving and my team mate.
today at work, i went spinning at lunch. love it! but not gonna lie, it's getting harder. i even remember my gel seat to put on the bike - RR, you might want to invest since the padded pants are not gonna fit you in a few weeks - and that helped. my thighs bounce against my belly and i have to be careful jumping - i dont go nearly as fast as the instructor does - because it feels like my uterus is going to fall out. also, the new size larger gym clothes worked really well - i just feel so obvious and whalenormous (new word! you can use it also!).
and lastly, we are looking forward to thursdays scan! last time to cast votes - i will try to keep track. actually, if you're on FB, it's even easier to track your vote there so try that first. so far, it's truly split. we're pretty excited! oh, but we're expecting an epic snowstorm, so hopefully that wont F up our appointment. and i'm flying to texas for a week on sunday, so it HAS to be on thursday!
hi and hello and hugs to all! i truly am reading, i just have not had time for a quality response. so here's my novella!
(and fyi, i'll be cutting and pasting this into my journal, teehee).
xoxo, mirolee
I have an anterior placenta which is I think why it took me a little longer than some people. But now I feel her rolling around and kicking all the time.
Won't be eating there again any time soon. Going in to work late because I tried to catch up on sleep this morning. I can't believe how soon Lux will be here. Starting to stress a little because I feel like there's lots to be done!
It means a whole heck of a lot. I've been toughing it out, breastfeeding on demand all day and it's just physically and mentally draining me. My milk has come in but it's definitely nowhere near as much as after I had Autumn or Hannah. I know there's really no way to compare the two but I'm just saying.
