So... I'm sure you are checking my blog to see if we've heard anything yet... NOPE! I don't have anything interesting or fun to blog about, so I'll just let you inside my brain for a few minutes. Here are my random thoughts swarming my head....
- I need to send out Christmas cards - no I did not take you off my list - I just haven't sent them yet.
- I need to get some little Christmas gifts for 9 co-workers. *sigh* what should I get?
- I need to get some laundry detergent. How come when Tim does laundry he pours like 1/2 a bottle of detergent in... ugh
- I'm watching Medical Incredible on tv right now and there is this woman with no legs scooting around her living room floor vacuuming. I have 2 legs and I don't vacuum.
- I've been on the hunt for the perfect little teddy bear for the baby. My mom finally found one - the hospital gift shop of all places - it had a dorky little tshirt on it, so we just took that off. I want to send the bear over after we get our referral, but I want it to smell like us, so I'm starting to sleep with it everynight. :)
- I have 7 mos to lose about 30 lbs. I'm in a wedding in July. The bridesmaid dress is very pretty. Not so pretty on me though. Gotta get to work.
- How am I ever going to lose weight around the holidays?! I ate out for lunch today for a celebration lunch thingy with work. I am eating out tomorrow night for a family dinner thing, eating out for lunch on Wednesday with some friends at work, going out on Wednesday night for a holiday dinner/gift exchange with 3 of my very good friends... Oh man....
- What am I going to wear on Friday to the Profit Sharing Program (Christmas program type thing that work does every year - its a dressy occasion)
- Need to get a birthday gift for my friend by Thursday
- Why do I live in WI when it's so stinking cold?
- I need to bring an appetizer to work on Thursday for a potluck lunch
- Need to go shopping for baby gifts for a co-worker to give her on Thursday
- Autumn was right... being #1 is not all it's cracked up to be... I already have anxiety sometimes and I am constantly anticipating a call. Not fun. I mean I'm glad I'm #1, but just very worried that it won't happen before Christmas. I will be very sad if that's the case.
- I need to finish up my Christmas shopping
- I'm so thankful that my work gives us off from the 19th to the 5th!! Thank you SCJ!
- I always read blogs that say how much people struggle with keeping the house clean and doing laundry now with their 3rd, 4th, etc child... I have NO kids and I already can't keep up. How am I going to keep up when the baby comes?
- I'm so happy that I met my buddy Jody!! We've become great friends and I REALLY hope we get to travel together!!
- I really miss our friends in Australia and wish they were going to be here for Christmas.
- I really hate it when I'm driving and the person in the car next to me or in front of me is smoking and the smell of their cigarette smoke gets in my car through the vents. That's so gross and I don't like it.
- I made some chocolate peanut butter bars tonight - they are really really good
Ok, thats what's going on in my noggin right now... As much as being #1 is stressful, I think being #1 right now around the holidays is pretty cool. I'm super busy at work and at home, but there's not a minute that goes by that I don't think about the child that I love more than anything that's on the other side of the world right now. So, I'll just continue to hope and pray that we receive a wonderful phone call this week!

You really don't have to worry about losing any weight, once baby gets home you won't have time to stop moving. Let alone eat an actual meal. You'll look awesome in July. Check that one right off the list!
Ok...so funny!! I'm glad someone is up right now too...I'm sad when I've stayed up later than everyone in America and I quit getting emails...so it is 12:53 am here and I'm just now starting to make xmas gifts for Helen's teachers..I'll be up forever...so why am i blogging still?? Anyways...I lost tons of weight after having kids...they never let you sit!! enjoy the holidays for now :)And, by the way..my house was a wreck before kids too...my hubby just cleaned more then to keep it looking nice..he's too tired now too, kristi
cocolate peanut butter bars=gifts for co-workers, appetizer for party, and givingthem away means not eating them-see?? three things down!! and ok, i am totally with you on losing the weight, i NEED to but i am so tired from running around that i don't want to exercise. and contrary to some people (rotten Kristi and Erin!!) i gained a crapload of weight with having kids and it makes me grumpy. good, uplifting share, right?? anyhoo, so glad we "met" too and i am mostly upright w/o feeling like i am going to pass out immediately today so i guess that is a bit of victory!! must've been the NICE ecard I got :)!!
Hoping and praying for the BEST Christmas present to come a little early :)
Dying here. I am seriously going crazy. I had hubby call Julie yesterday to see if we shoud even bother getting our hopes set on a pre-Christmas referral. (Which would also be a pre-New Years referral as well, since the offices are closed like forever...) He had to leave a message, but offered to call her again today. Poor Julie. But poor us even more. I'll be soo depressed if I have to be here until Jan 5th or more. Ugh.
#1 officially sucks.

You crack me up!! Love your random thoughts... sounds familiar :)!
I SO REMEMBER being #1. It was just a year ago (just over a year)... and I remember the STRESS that came along with it. Every time the phone rings... you feel bad because you are so disappointed when it isn't Julie S (or whoever you social worker is). HOW FUN THOUGH. It won't BE LONG!!!
YIPPPEEEEEE
Wishing and praying for you a perfect holiday season with all the right surprises!
Cheers!
