My Day of Waiting. . . . .

Yesterday was a busy day but a lot of it was spent waiting, and waiting. I had a doctors appointment yesterday and waited 40 minutes to even get into the room, this would not have been such a big deal except that I only had an hour for the appointment. So, I went up to the receptionist and asked her when I was going to get to the doctors and she said "soon" so I told her I have to leave by 1:30 to go pick up my kids from school. If you're not going to be done you need to reschedule me. She then proceeded to go talk to the nurses and they had me done in time. I was glad, a kindergartener just doesn't understand that you got stuck at the doctors office and that's why you were late. Then I went to do early voting. HOLY LONG WAIT, by this time I had the kids with me and I had to wait an hour to do early voting. The irony was that when I got up to vote the poll workers told me that I shouldn't have had to wait, I could have gone to the front of the line because I am so pregnant. "now you tell me" I jokingly replied. So, I have voted, yipee, we'll see if it makes a difference. I did come home and call bon and tell her she could go directly to the front of the line and she appreciated that I passed that info along. At least she won't have to wait too long. After that it was more errands, wallyworld and such. I had a friend ask me if I could watch her kids for a while because she had an appointment with her LDS bishop and her one year old little boy just cried the whole time. It didn't matter what I did so I just put him on the floor and let him cry. I had things to do. I know it sounds heartless but if I have to listen to a kid cry in my face and it's not helping I can't stand it. Lastly, I woke up today and my belly was itching like crazy, I grabbed a mirror and it looks like I have some sort of skin issue happening. It's red and itchy. I put some baby powder on it and hopefully that will take care of it. AHH, the joys of pregnancy. It will all be over soon, in just a few more weeks. Oh, my friend posted pictures of her twins on howeslifewith5. Check out the link if you want to.

34 weeks and counting. . . .

Well, another of my friends had her babies, she had twins on Saturday, I'm not sure if pictures are posted on her blog but her blog is howeslifewith5.blogspot.com. I have a link over on my sidebar if you want to know more. We only saw the girl twin, the boy twin took a huge breath of amniotic fluid during delivery and so he is in the NICU but the doctors have him there mostly as a precaution and aren't terribly concerned. But the girl twin is adorable. It made me want to be done even more. But, only more 5 weeks left since the c-section is scheduled for 39 weeks. I seem to be alright about the contractions if I don't do too much. However, that is incredibly frustrating for me. I'm starting to feel like we might be ready if this baby comes early, I was able to fish out the baby stuff from the basement storage room today and I just need to wash all of it and figure out where we're going to put a changing table in our house. Someone (either cookie or cakes) will have to give up something in their room to make room for another dresser and a changing table. We'll see how that goes. I need to keep an eye out for another dresser at our local thrift store since there just isn't money in our account to buy one new. We'll see what we can find. Well, that's about it. Keep your fingers crossed for me that I last another five weeks. It really would be best if I made it to 39 weeks, even though I want to be done already.

CRAP

This morning I woke up around 6 am to go to the bathroom for the thousanth time and when I went to get back in bed I had a very long, painful contraction. Well, I tried to go back to sleep but couldn't because even though they weren't consistent I continued to have contractions. This lasted about three hours until I finally took a hot bath and things calmed down. Needless to say I didn't do much today. We had our ward trunk or treat and dinner tonight so I made taco soup in the crock pot and rested and did a little pampered chef business and got kids ready for when sushi got back and we went to the trunk or treat. I have a show tomorrow and that is all so I think I'll rest a little more tomorrow. The kids will have to clean their parts of the house, sushi needs to get the winter squashes out of the garden and into the house and I guess I better get serious about getting ready for a baby to come. We need to get the basinette upstairs and I need to wash the bedding for it, I need to get the changing table upstairs and cleaned. I also need to find the box of newborn clothes and blankets and diapers and get them washed. I should have five weeks left but I have this strange feeling I may not make it that far. Crap, I really liked the December 2 date.

Edit- yeah, it's Saturday morning and no contractions last night, at the trunk or treat I was having some but there weren't any last night! Cross your fingers for me.

The Answers

Cheer34- what is your favorite cookie? besides your child named cookie monster

My favorite is pretty consistently chocolate chip, I like other kinds for a while, I like gingerbread or butter and recently have been craving rasin filled I even enjoy snickerdoodles. But, it always comes back to chocolate chip with semisweet chocolate chips, you can't beat a classic.


Karen- When are we getting together next?

How about when I can walk again and not waddle. So, mabey after about 5 weeks, although I would love to see your adorable baby. Although, I am afraid it would just make me more anxious to be done to see him!


Nobody- My eye hurts. What the heck is in my eye?

Well, you know your mom always said you'd go blind if you looked at that stuff too much! Hee hee

Scarlet- Sock length? Short anklet sock or regular?

I depends on what I am doing, if I am exercising then anklet for sure, I hate how regular ones pinch my legs, however, for everyday wear or yardwork and snow activities regular length. They protect my legs better than anklet ones.

Q & A

I've got nothing, so, I'll go with an old blogging standby, Q&A, ask me a question, I'll answer. The inspiration for this post today was brought to you by fantastagirl who just did this recently as well.

Baby Mama

Well, after many people telling me how great this movie was I finally rented it last night from redbox. It was really fun. The jokes made me laugh and it was overall very enjoyable. I recommend it. I know you've all been waiting for this review forever.

UEA weekend

Another one of my friends had her baby, he is adorable, click on karen's blog on my links to see him. Congrats Karen! I wish it was me! I'm getting a little tired of being pregnant. This weekend is UEA weekend. I will get to have an entire three and a half days without kids! My mother is taking the kids camping with her to goblin valley in Southern Utah. Sushi and I plan on going on a few dates and are looking forward to a break. My mom tried to convince me to go with her but I didn't think it would be very fun for me to go camping in my current condition. So, as of tomorrow afternoon I am kid free until saturday night! YIPEE!!! I might actually get caught up on some things and get some sleep!
