I’m feeling random today, so I thought I’d share (in no particular order) some of the things I’m liking and disliking these days…
Likes:
1. Dancing With The Stars – Donny and I really don’t watch that much TV and the only possible way we can keep up with any shows is via our DVR. Our schedule is so crazy and varies week to week, so it has been great having the DVR this year. Well thanks to our trusty little DVR, I am now hooked on Dancing With The Stars. My mom has been hooked for the past few seasons and was always telling me how great the show was, but I just could never commit. I gave it a try from day 1 this season and I’m loving it. I am totally rooting for Kelly Osbourne!!
2. Forever 21 – Although I’m not ready for maternity clothes, I am starting to feel a bit uncomfortable in some of my regular clothes – especially some of my Fall/Winter favs from last year. I took a little trip to Forever 21 the other day and scored a couple of cute “bump-friendly” shirts that I love. The best part is I will be able to wear them next year when I don’t have a baby bump, so it makes me feel better about spending money on them as opposed to maternity clothes that I will hopefully not need again for several years.
3. My space heater at work. This little puppy has been my saving grace! I am a total wimp when it comes to the cold and I freeze all year round! It is quite annoying actually. Well last year the maintenance guys installed a 220V electrical box under my desk and my boss’ desk so we could be nice and toasty throughout our work day. (Everyone else in the office thinks we are crazy because they already complain that the normal 73 degrees we keep the office at is too hot). Whatever!
4. LIFE cereal. I’ve been eating it every morning for the last several weeks.
5. The Fall colors! Donny took this picture of the beautiful tree in our backyard the other day. Too bad most of its leaves are gone and all over the lawn by now.
Dislike:
1. My hormones!! I am usually pretty even-keeled…that is until I hit my 2nd trimester. I don’t know what happened, but my hormones have been crazy and poor Donny has had a lot to put up with. It is driving me crazy because I feel a little out of control and I hate that feeling.
2. My chronically stuffy nose. I just figured it was allergies because I have allergy & sinus problems when the weather changes every year, but I just read today that a stuffy nose is actually a pregnancy symptom. Apparently higher estrogen levels & increased blood volume during pregnancy can contribute to swelling in the mucous membranes.
3. My sleeping situation. I have 2 boys (Donny and Opie) that sleep with me and they think they own the bed! Donny steals the covers EVERY night and little Opie takes up SO MUCH room. Neither of these are new issues, but I think the combination of my crazy hormones and the fact that I get up so many times a night now make me much more aware of how annoying this really is.
4. The fact the the Bradley birth classes I want to take are 12 weeks long and cost $300!!
