I'm piddling around my room waiting on a call from my client... she labored all night long and when I showed up to her house, labor tapered off. So I figured it might be best for her to labor alone for a while and I came back home for a while to wait. I'm SO GLAD she's finally having this baby! Send lots of easy labor vibes her way: she's attempting Vaginal Birth after Myomectomy and Cesarean. She is awesome and I am looking forward to sharing this experience with her!
Man, a few weeks ago we went to our friends for a Birthday dinner for her son and she had made fruit salad. . . It was so simple - Strawberries, grapes & apples mixed in vanilla yogurt. But it was so good. I ate more of it then I'd like. Yesterday I finally made my own - Two huge tubs - Adding banans. It's a nice, healthy snack and it's all I want to eat! While the banans are good, I think next time I'll leave them out.
Oh my god it's so hot. A trip to Walmart and CVS about did me in. I felt awful. I got a look at myself in reflection too and holy wow I know why this kid got so quiet. Sucker had a growth spurt. I am huge and it's all belly in the front, I've never carried like this before. I'm surprised I haven't tipped over. Shoot, I'm surprised I can walk at all.
On a sad topic my great aunt passed yesterday. I'm not sure when the funeral is but we have to go to NC for it. Plus The Fourth is Wednesday and that's also my BIL's birthday. OB appt tomorrow. Busy, sad and happy week. My emotions are going to be so messed up.
We're going to take DD to the movies this afternoon :-) She's going to love it!
My mom start my virtual baby shower today and it's pretty fun so far. Every Sunday she's asking a new question as the 'game'. . . This week everybody is introducing themselves, saying how they know me and guessing what Emmersyn's birth weight was. It's pretty darn neat!
Allyssa, that does sound like fun and it's so cool of your mom to do that for you. What movie did you take Emmersyn to? Not Magic Mike I hope.
Jessica, enjoy! DH is just now finding out about that movie. He watched the trailer and his face crinkled all up. Made me bust out laughing. He asked if I wanted to see it. I said when it comes out on DVD sure. More face crinkling. More laughter. I do want to see Rock of Ages much more though and Batman is in three weeks. Yay!!
Just waking up from a nap. It's been a long one. I had an instinct that told me this poor girl was going to have a rough go of it. After laboring at home all day yesterday, and REALLY working, it seemed like things were changing for her, and so she went to L&D. Big discouragement when she realized she was still only 2cm/80%/-2. Sigh. She was able to get some meds to sleep since she's been up since Friday in labor. And she went back home to labor some more. I came home to get some rest while she has the meds, and I'll probably go back to be with her when the meds wear off. It's a tough one. It's very hands off because of her medical history (no pit to avoid uterine rupture).
I'm tired. I'm so ready to be finished working and just be pregnant myself. I'm not fit for this right now.
Currently, I'm stressing the *** out. My insurance from Asurion has now lapsed and I'm praying that the Tenncare will approve me quickly. I just know I'm going to have her this month and it scares the crap out of me that I may or may not be paying for all of this out of pocket.
In addition to the fact that I called my old Dr. to see if he would work with me, while all of this gets figured out, only to discover that he is out of the office this week and won't be back until the 10th.
I hate being stuck in limbo. Especially while pregnant. This has to be the most unnerving feeling in the world!
I want to see Rock of Ages too! Not sure I'll get chance though. Unless I can convince DP to come see it with me this weekend.
to all those who are working and tired, I feel your pain xxx I'm ok at the start of the week but by mid-week I'm just not feeling up to it. And in jobs where you're caring for others you then have terrible guilt going on alongside the exhaustion. Big , not long for any of us now ladies xxx
I really hope things up for her Que and the rest of her labour begins to go well! Still sending thoughts her way!!!

Well duh, that's the obvious answer. We totes took her to se Magic Mike! Nah - We saw Madagascar 3. It was entertaining - DH and I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. Em was a little more antsy in the theater then she has been in the past - But some popcorn kept her occupied enough, hah.

I do not know how you do it. I am absolutely exhausted these days and I am not working at all!
Monday, Monday, Monday! Em was a sad panda when I brought her downstairs right away to watch cartoons because she wanted to watch cartoons in 'daddies' bed (we share a bed, yet it's JUST daddies bed, lol) like we normally do. . . But she's proved to be too rowdy and loud and he needs to be able to sleep for work tonight. . .
I put some pork tenderlion in the crock pot with a can & a half of Rootbeer for pulled pork sandwiches for dinner. I am debating taking Em to the library or splash park today. . . We're car sitting for the month, so I think DH will be taking that car to/from work leaving me with our car all day & all month!

It wasn't as bad as I thought - I went to the beach on base where I know there aren't many waves. She was nervous around the water at first (which is so not like her) but once I got her in further with me she loved it and just wanted to swim, swim, swim around in the ocean. We came home to wake DH up, have some lunch and nap. She has crashed so I'll probably try to get comfy on the couch here and sleep a bit.
I wish I had spent my day at the beach. I spent most f my day trying to get Doc in to see the doctor about his finger. Got him in, it's infected. He bit it and since we have issues with MRSA that's what could have happened. The doctor wasn't sure if it was that or Strep so he prescribed the most DISGUSTING crap I've ever seen and he has to take 8 ml of it three times a day. Ugh. My first attempt was using juice but I used too much and the poor kid had to gag so much of it down that he puked. So that is stressing me out a lot. I spent the whole day on my feet running here and there for the appt, cancelled my appt, got him into OT to brighten up his day, picked up his script, ran to McDonald's for a Frappe, my mom's treat, came home and made the kid's dinner and finally got to eat my dinner. DH is working hella late tonight to make up for having to skip work tomorrow for the funeral. So now one kid is down but not asleep and the other is headed that way. Luckily my mom came up today so she has really been a big help. Being on my feet like this has made me feel like crap and like I'm going to drop this baby in the middle of my kitchen floor.
Jacquie....limbo sucks....hope you get answers soon!
Magic Mike....far too much focus on the storyline...LOL...it kind of ended weird...like...it just....ended? But a good way to spend the afternoon since the theatre had amazing air conditioning and there was no one in front of us so I could put my feet up. Oh and I just love movie popcorn!
This theatre also has "Empire Reel Babies" so I can go grab a movie, bring baby, and pay reduced admission to watch adult movies during the day! I'm pretty excited haha.

Rough night! I think Emmersyn has a hard time when he goes back to work. Last week when he went back to work after a couple days off, she had a hard time that first day two. Poor baby On the days he has to work - She only gets to see him for 2 hours because of her nap schedule and his work schedule.
So there were LOTS of tears tonight - Which is so unlike her!
After he left for work, we went out and took our bulk trash out for pick-up this week and I cleaned the car out and ended up cleaning the garage. All I went out to do originally was clean the car, lol. But I got the garage cleaned enough to fit the car. It's not at all organized - But the car fits in there. We'll organize it another time!
We rested & cooled off before meeting our friends for ice cream. . . Now Em is in bed and I am beat, still with some house work to do before I can call it a night!
