I want to unpack my scrap desk more and clean the master bathroom as well as vacuum the master bedroom!

Cookin'? ummmm makeover mac and cheese and green beans. I love my healthy cooking magazine!

Reading/Watchin'? Good Day Chicago. It is funniest with these two anchors. haha

Vents? well the kitties made a mess downstairs last night and jason brought the vacuum upstairs for me before we went to bed...so now I had to sweep it up and cant vacuum it until tonight! LOL I think it is so funny how that works! I cant carry it down the stairs myself til lil baby is born!

Hoping? for this energy to remain here!

Thankful? for my home

[Nicole]

Today's Agenda? workout...travel to Chicago (sounds weird saying that haha) Dr appointment at 1:15 to find out what we are having!!!

[Nicole]

Today's Agenda? clean the master bathroom, workout (took yesterday off), more scrapping, I may start my painting for Jack's room...then who knows. finish the laundry? I should just have two small loads between a few whites and some towels

Weather? 73 that is ooook

Crafty? i sure hope so

Cookin'? hopefully the fillets i was going to grill yesterday but the awesome storm changed our plans and we ordered pizza

Reading/Watchin'? news, good day chicago 5-7 is my favorite lol

Vents? my two kitties were very naughty last night. It upset me, the sound of them fighting and that actually woke jack up. normally i dont feel him after 10 pm but when my heart started racing from the anxiety the stupid sound makes, he woke up. grrr i hate that it happened. I have been so calm and not stressed, which is awesome for him. I dont want to stress him out. Jason told me to get out of the house if they keep it up later today. He said "Go to Dominick's and buy an apple or something if it happens" haha I have plenty of apples (i eat about one a day) but maybe I will get a pedicure. i havent had one since the wedding in august!

Hoping? that cranky harley stops bothering lili. she has really gotten brave since we moved here and chases poor lili but lili used to mess with her sooo i guess fair is fair, but i hate the fighting! I wish they would just leave one another alone. we have more than double the space, they shouldnt even be running into one another much haha

Thankful? that last night both jason and myself felt jackson move from the outside of my belly. I was so surprised it happened even though I was hoping it was. It made me so happy. I am so in love with this little guy. I imagine what he will look like every day. My entire life is already about him. lol he is all I really talk about and I dont care if that annoys other people because I really just love my son. I cant wait to meet him and take care of him and love him. I really cant (well I can because it means he is healthy and fully cooked!!!) hehe

[Nicole]

Today's Agenda? I absolutely need to finish the place cards. My back was killing me yesterday. I stayed off of my feet all day. I did get a good amount of work done on them. I dont have much left to do and it wont take me long but i need the motivation. My back feels a bit better today, but I am not going to push it. However, I have a sore throat lol so I am 98% sure I am on the cusp of getting a cold! I have that pre-cold hazy sore throat feeling.....I do have a hair appointment today. I am going to discuss their prenatal massage options. This is a total spa/salon. A new place, since we have moved. I have never been here. I contacted them via email and the said that they can take care of all of my needs. But now I dont want to schedule a massage appointment until I know if this is a full blown cold or a sore throat from the crazy weather up and downs

Weather? 70s today

Crafty? yup

Cookin'? idk...i need to go grocery shopping but jason doesnt want me to push it with my back and he wants to go when he gets home....but then I wont have anything to cook....idk....

Reading/Watchin'? how the earth was made (watching) my current book is the shut mouth society. i LOVE it!

Vents? I dont want to be getting sick. lol i am pregnant and I have TOO much to do to be immobilized by a cold.

Hoping? that i am not getting sick...lol fat chance!

Thankful? for my hubby. he knows this week has taken a toll on my body. I dont think I am built to carry a baby well. I was so small to begin with that all this front weight is really making my lower back sore. My hips got wider but they went from a size 0 or a size 2 to a size 4 regular jeans....which still are baggy sooo an in between....and a size 2 maternity is way too big on me in the hips, butt, and legs, but i need the belly room. SO I am really all belly. I told him about my sore throat when he was saying goodbye to me at 5:50am. When I got up around 730 (which is sleeping in for me) I went to make my coffee and found that he had already placed my favorite coffee mug and a k-cup coffee in our keurig coffee maker :-) he had a little set up for me. It was so sweet. I love those little gestures!

[Nicole]
