-I am so excited for FALL!!! I love it with a passion! Here is why I love fall in no particular order:
- Pumkin Spiced Lattes (even though my intake will be limited I can still **hopefully** have the occasional treat)
- Pumkin bagels and cream cheese at Manhattan (bagel shop near where we live that is AUH-MAZING!)
- Crisp cool air in the morning which normally means jacket weather is approaching which I LOVE, however currently nothing I own fits so I will have to invest in some new sweaters and a pair of maternity jeans for the fall.
- Changing leaves! I love seeing all that orange and maroon!
- HOKIE Football!!! :) I could sit all Saturday and watch college football for hours, NFL sunday and monday nights with Matt are a different story. I normally have a book in my possession.
- My little boy will be here!!! :) Which means next Fall we'll get to celebrate his BIRTHDAY! Woo hooo! :)
-I have to admit my glucose test on Friday went better than anticipated. I felt a million times better (physically) than I did the previous week doing the one hour test. Let's hope this is a good sign! I was given some great advice to walk around as much as I could after drinking the nasty drink and did so. I started getting a headache and tummy pains towards the end but at that point I'd been going 12+ hours without food or water...so it makes sense my body would be hating on me! I found out talking with my doctor in person that I misunderstood the phone message (go figure!) and that the highest they want my sugar levels to be in 120 which I clearly missed by a long shot with a level of 153...AWESOME :( To pass this test I have to have 2 out of the 4 blood sticks to be normal. Fingers crossed I will find out tomorrow.
-I gained 2.5 pounds since Friday.
-I horded treats over the weekend while in Ohio like it was my job, I figured now or never in case I have to be put on a diet for my last 8 weeks...wouldn't that suck?!?!
-I'm scared for everyone around me and all who I work with if sugar has to be removed from my diet.
-We went on a shopping spree this weekend for the little fella at the outlets! :) I love shopping for him! :) We bought him a little Christmas outfit: khaki pants, red and green stripped shirt and an reindeer sweater vest! I LOVE SWEATER VESTS!!!! :)
-When does the whole nesting thing kick in? I'm having to force myself to do housework...which is just the opposite of how I normally am. I don't ever mind cleaning and I normally jump at our free weekends home to clean house. Lately I have huge stacks of papers lying around that I need to organize and sort...WTF! I can honestly say this is not the case in Baby Z's room :)
-We've decided that Christmas/Hanukkah gifts will be small this year with the exception of two LARGE purchases: new family vehicle and a new family camera.
-We're car shopping this weekend. We have our eye on the Toyota Highlander...and if we can swing it we would like to go hybrid.
-We'll be getting our new camera in October (early present!!) before Baby Z makes his appearance.
-My list making has gotten out of control recently, I write everything down because I'm afraid I will forget something really important.
-I've realized what I want to be when I grow up, but with our current work from home situation and the baby coming in the next few weeks, I've decided to put off a career switch until fall of 2013. Our contract ends at that time and even though there will be a new contract, we aren't sure of the changes and what it will entail for us (will our telework have to end?). So the benefits that I have in my current position outweigh a career switch that could make me a much happier and nicer person.
-I fear career change. I know it sounds silly, but regardless of how bad I may feel my situation is at times I have a good support system around me and I have found a really good mentor on my project. I fear losing those relationships and not being able to replace them in a new position. I also fear that it wouldn't be a better move, that I would regret leaving my current job.
-I over-analyze situations.
-I am a pleaser, I always want everyone to be happy before I worry about what I want/need. Especially when it comes to our families. I worry about my mother bear instincts coming out and causing a HUGE shock to everyone when I say "no" and disregard other's feelings to do what is best for my little boy. I have a hard time speaking up/standing up for myself (shocker right??), when I do LOTS of emotions are normally involved (cue crying and/or yelling). What I do not have a hard time doing is standing up/speaking up for people that I love and care about. It comes very easily for me. I would rather piss off/upset folks here and there, rather than having something pushed on me/him that I don't feel is right. So here is hoping that I am worrying over nothing :P
-I've been slacking lately updating the blog and need to step it up!
-Sometimes I just walk in his room and look at the crib thinking he'll just appear! hahah wouldn't that just be so much better than a delivery!?! ;)
-I've been singing Usher the ENTIRE time I've been writing this post. :P
