Just about time

That's right...its just about time for this baby to pop out!  Up until the last week I have felt great, so it only make sense that the last 3 weeks should be filled with misery...right?   I think if it wasn't so hot it wouldn't be so bad, but who knows. 

Mike has duty tonight....so I am stuck here alone...if I wasn't so tired I'd take advantage of the time and finish the laundry, but our neighbors are changing their landscaping and were getting rid of their crepe myrtles so I piped up and said if you are going to just get rid of them we'd love to have them (It'll save us from having to buy some later) so today of all days...lol...they dug them up and brought them over....of course since mike is gone I get to plant them...and now I am exhausted.  I don't think pregnant women are made to do lawn work. 

I'll update more later...I have to get Andrew up from nap...

Enter today....win tomorrow

Ok its a dumb subject, but I couldn't think of anything creative so there is a stupid add above my blog screen that is from the Publishers Clearing House and so I decided to go with it.

For those of you dying for an update....I have 31 days till the c-section...while I'd like for her to get outta there, we really need her to hold off until my parents get out here to stay with Andrew. 

Mike and I planted a garden this year....we have been picking tomatoes like crazy, and have learned to can them and now have 30 cans so far...YAY...and I am now going to hide them somewhere safe so my sister can never find them

Speaking of my sister...she's coming out to stay till Sept 6th to help out around the house after the baby gets here....she'd better be getting lots of rest and sleep now b/c ANdrew is a handful and she will be dog tired before she leaves. 

I finished dinner for tonight at 9am..that's right I actually planned ahead...and thank God for crock pots...no one should be in this world without one!

For father's day I got Mike a box of "retro candy" since he is sooo much older than I am ....in it was a set of wax lips....well one thing led to another and see what happens...

A date is finally set

Ok, so I had my routine OB appt this Friday to set the date for the C-section.  I had been told to expect about 38-39 week mark, but the dr decided since my blood pressure is normal (107/50) and my blood sugar was well within normal range, and I still am -11lbs that she can't find a reason to schedule the date before the 39th week which is the 7th of August, but for some reason they aren't scheduling c-sections on M/W/F of that week so I had to choose Tues or thurs, but my OB isn't delivering on Tues, so I got stuck with Thursday the 10th of August.  only 4 days before my due date.  Oh well I guess that's a good thing considering apparently the only way I would get to move up the date is is things started going wrong. 

But....that puts us in another bind of sorts....Mike has a class starting August 25th and doesn't think he is going to be able to take 2 weeks aftre the baby is born like expected so we have asked Robin to come out and stay a few extra weeks (until sept) to help out with Andrew and the baby.

And so now we have 54 days till she gets here and WAY too much stuff to do before then.

Tagged

Tag you're it

The first player of this game starts with the "6 weird things/habits about yourself" and people who get tagged need to write a blog of their 6 weird habits/things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end you need to choose the 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "you are tagged" in their comments and tell them to read yours.

1.  I like to take a bath...then a shower...I don't know why...maybe b/c its my only escape :P

2.  Leaving the lables on rubbermaid containers really bugs me...I have to pull them off, and when I find one that still has it I feel the need to pull it off.

3.  I love to do lawn work.  It dries my husband crazy...why?  he's a city boy ans would rather be inside.

4.  I like to do Logic/math problems...sometime I can figure them out...most of the time I end up ripping up the page...but to me its fun.

5.  I will eat cheese on just about anything...I love cheese!

6.  I have 3 cats and I really don't like cats.  I mean I love my cats, but at the same time I don't really like them.

Idiots, Hemroids, The System, VaJayJay's and stuff.....

Ok, so my husband is an instructor in the Marines.  He has a class right now on deck (marine terms here).  This isn't his first class, and usually we only get calls at home of the "I think my ex girlfriend is pregnant"or "There is a death in the family" nature.  But this class has been calling all the time...and sometimes you just have to laugh...mainly because they call at a decent hour... I mean when the phone rings we used to joke about which one was calling for bail...now I ask which one needs help finding his cell phone (it fell out of his pocket)...or to get his keys out of a locked chest (don't ask)...or who's been caught speeding (let's hope it's not the one who has 3 tickets since January) but tonight we got the call of all calls...one thought they night need to see a dr (ER doctor at that) because he "injured" himself....upon further investigation the injury was caused from straining while pooping....that's right a hemroid.  Now for those of you who have given birth and got them I feel for you (I have managed almost 2 pregnancies and have not had them yet) (I credit this to not having to "push" my 10lb watermelon out a hole the size of a pea) (ok I know it REALLY isn't the size of a pea...or I would not have gotten pregnant...lol...) but if you show up to the ER with a hemroid I think you may be laughed at.  

Now speaking of birth...someone asked me the other day why I am not considering "giving birth" the "normal way"  I didn't say this at the time, but I enjoy the knowledge that my VaJayJay has not been compromised...who cares if I will have a scar across my abdomen....when other mothers can complain about how long they were in birth to lay guilt to their children....MY scars are in a decent enough area to show them to make them feel even MORE guilty :P  

 Oh yeah I mentioned the system...lol...actually I have a friend "A" and her husband got in trouble...the kind of trouble that puts his job in jeapordy...and she isn't mad at him...she's mad b/c he is getting punished...WTF?  Uhm isn't your husband old enough to know right from wrong...and isn't if he chooses to do wrong isn't he supposed to know there is consequences?  So he got caught.....blame your husband...stop blaming the system....lol

Do you ever wonder?

Do you ever wonder if there are some sort of evil goblins that sneak into you house and mess it up after you clean?  I swear it was just yesterday and the kitchen was spotless...and now it needs to be done again!  I think I am going to set a trap for those pesky goblins!

Also...at what age do you get old....I know "old" is relative...but only 4 years ago I was able to stay up every night partying, drinking, then get up and go to school...maybe work...lol...and do it all over again the next night.  Now I swear if I am not in bed by 11pm I am worthless the next day!  

I had my 28 week OB appt yesterday.  My BP was 112/60...Mike asked if I was even alive...lol...Apparently I am now to the point I switch from seeing midwives to having my appointments done by OB's since I am having a repeat c-section.  I am also measurine at 31 weeks....that's almost 3 weeks ahead of schedule...guess another big baby is on the way, so there is no need in buying newborn diapers...just skip to size 1.  

That being said I only have about 10 weeks left...and we have barely bought anything for her....I still have not started sewing, and her room is filled with stuff that will be moving into the garage when it is finished...of course we still have to paint and tile the garage...but that shouldn't take long...right?...hahahaha

Construction...gotta love it

Well, we finally accepted a bid and they start construction on our remodeling this week....are we ready...Hell no...it rained a good portion of the weekend, so we didn't get the shed finished and have moved nothing from the garage!  Hopefully Mike will be able to take a few days off to finish things....

We are heading to Wilmington this weekend...Its our Anniversary.   On Saturday we are having a 3-D Ultrasound done to see baby Isabel...Only 98 days left till out due date....which means only 88 days till she gets here!

Other than that things are really boring out here...I mean REALLY boring...Guess that's part of living way out here...lol...
