Things About Me

It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these and I really haven’t had the ambition to do any cooking/baking/crafting, so no related posts on those items.  Here’s what I’m currently thinking:

  1. I am down to 3 shirts that I can wear without my baby belly hanging out.  I’m almost at the end of this journey and refuse to spend money on more maternity clothes. Oh, and I wear the same kind of pants all of the time.  Looking forward to expanding my wardrobe soon.
  2. You’d think I would have no appetite with how much room this baby is taking up. You’d be wrong.  Although, I’ve put on less weight with this baby than with the first two.  Woot.  (I give kudos to the kiddos…chasing them is a full-time workout.)
  3. If I didn’t have 2 other kiddos to take care of, I’d probably just make sure the couch doesn’t float away.  Laying down is seriously the only way I can be comfortable.
  4. I often ponder what/who this baby will look like.  I wondered this with the first two, but even more so with this one since we don’t know the gender.
  5. I don’t know if I’ve nested yet.  I’ve organized the house quite a bit, but that’s because we moved.  I have yet to get a single thing ready for this baby.  Sigh…Looking forward to my mom visiting so she can help me.  She’s always a big help.
  6. I wonder if I’ll make it to the hospital in time for this one.  We’re quite far away from the hospital now.  As long as I don’t deliver on the interstate, I’ll be fine.  I have no desire to end up on the news.
  7. I can’t wait to start running again.
  8. I can’t wait to have a baby in the house again.
  9. I can’t wait to get into my van without having to worry if my bump is going to hit something.
  10. I can’t wait to decide on a name.  Nope, still haven’t done that.  I wouldn’t even say we’ve “talked” about it.  More like “mentioned” it in passing.  Let’s just hope it’ll come to us after we meet the little one :)

There ya have it…almost 38 weeks baked.  I still have “good” days, so I’m pretty sure I won’t be going in this week.  Now I just hope for a smooth, normal delivery…just like the other two.  Although, we could cut some time off the laboring part.

 

10 Random Things About Me

  1. I always heat my dish of ice cream in the microwave for 14 seconds.  Never more, never less…then stir until it’s like soft serve.
  2. Whenever I make the kids macaroni and cheese, I must take a heaping spoonful and eat it out of the kettle.
  3. The sound of people eating disturbs me, to say the least.  (I think it’s genetic b/c my dad and sister are the same way.)
  4. I’ve never dyed my hair (highlighted, yes…twice).
  5. I’m a morning person and it drives me nuts that my hubby isn’t and I have one kid that is and one that isn’t.
  6. I can’t stand eating chocolate plain.  It must have nuts or peanut butter or coconut…not caramel.
  7. My vision has improved twice since having children.  At this rate, only 8 more to go before I have perfect vision ;-)  (No, it’s not happening.)
  8. I can’t stand any type of bug.  Nope, not even ladybugs or butterflies.  My kids find them fascinating.  Sometimes, I think I might die when my son brings me live ones with his bare hands.
  9. I love bargain shopping and thrifting.
  10. I write right-handed, but play most sports left-handed.

10 Random Things About Me

  1. I like the right side of my face better than the left, but I like the left side of my body better than the right.  (Am I  the only one who thinks like this??)
  2. I like eating cookies and drinking coffee.  I am getting old…and I kinda like it :)
  3. I wake up every morning at 7am to do 3 miles on the treadmill.
  4. I much prefer to do things alone than in a group.  I’m kind-of a Type A girl.
  5. I own like 25+ pair of high heels (from when I worked in the corporate world) and I never wear them, but can’t seem to part with them.  My kids wear them around the house daily though.
  6. I have been married for 7 1/2 yrs (together for 14).
  7. Originally from ND and usually visit once a year.
  8. I vacuum my living room 4x a week.  With 2 toddlers, it’s necessary.
  9. I only drink decaf.
  10. I can watch reruns of ‘Everybody Loves Raymond’ until the cows come home.

I’ve learned to embrace all the randomness about myself the older I get.  I think we should all do that, don’t you?
