Thursday Approaches

As of right now I'm looking at a C-section on Thursday, May 30, 2013.

My knee is tweaked.  I cannot put my weight on it for standing or sitting.

I have a cold that makes me feel like I'm breathing fire with congestion, sneezing and coughing.  None of which will be good after the C-section either.

I'm tired and cannot stay asleep, waking every 1-2 hours at night for no apparent reason.

I have a sick husband and son that I cannot take care of like I usually do.

The forecast for Thursday and Friday is thunderstorms with a chance of severe thunderstorms.

We are closing on a new house in the last week of June and I have been trying to get as much done as possible before the baby comes, which everyone thinks is silly.  That I'll be up for getting all that done after having the baby.

I'm swollen and my blood pressure rose today.   Is this a sign of what is to come or is it just last minute stress?  I am grateful for the cooler weather keeping my swelling at bay.

All said and done, this ought to be quite a ride.

Now it's time to sleep.  At least as much as I can.

Mother's Day

What is it with holidays that people make restaurant reservations or big dinners at times that are not usual meal times?  Like scheduling to eat at 10:30 AM, 1:30 PM or 8:30 PM.  These are not times that I eat on a daily basis.  I just think this tradition is strange and not one I like to subscribe to.  Sure, it won't kill me, but when the time falls on nap time it is a different story.

For Mother's Day Tony got me practically all the varieties of sweets that I like, and I like a good many of them, from Sayklly's.  Too good!  Too much sugar!  Too difficult to pass up!  Delicious.  Some of the most delicious candy I've ever had, matter of fact.  So evil of him to do this, but it is good.  Now I look forward to some good, old fashioned family time for Mother's Day.  Low key, pajama time hanging out.  The best!

18 Months old! My sweetie, sweetie

The Waiting Game

A watched pot never boils.  The waiting game can be tough, but there is always an end coming.  Whatever comes my way, I'm going to roll with the punches.  The baby has dropped and I feel intensely the pressure of that baby wanting to come out.  Some contractions yesterday and today.  Who knows what tomorrow brings.   Hope my hubby's in town when I either go into labor or am due for my appt to have this baby.  Hah, who knows?  Mother nature is in control, as usual.
Hope tomorrow is sunny for 18 month old pictures!  Today was rainy and overcast.  Good day for doctor appts, not good for pictures.  He's almost potty training himself and I'm loving it.  He's such a good communicator and is paying attention to what I'm asking him and to what is going on around him.  Love that this part is coming so soon.  Would love to have him diaper free by age 2.  We are all sick of diapers on him by now.
We bought him his first bat and ball.  Hoping tomorrow we can go try them out.  That'll be great fun (smile).

Not Pretty

The weather is sleeting and not pretty out there.  It is dicey driving, let alone walking in the slush.  Next week is looking at least in the 40s, but we got spoiled by those 70s.  Even if they were only for 2 days.

Aches and pains of the end of pregnancy are here!  Oh my, not comfortable anymore.  Really want to be able to walk normally (which will not happen for 6-8 more weeks) and to exercise normally.  The end is near.  Less than a month away and time will drag/fly by!  My big baby will be with us soon!  Ah, more fun.

Adam had a doosey of a troublesome two's day yesterday.  One of the most trying days.  For the most part because of my lack of sleep the night before, hormone changes and his defiance/pushing boundaries.  He's too smart for his own good!  We are in potty training mode and not by my pushing it. I know I have to start, it is always a little messy.  I hope it's just a little instead of alot.  We'll see.

Showings all the time until I'm busy and out of commission.  Busy busy.  I feel more energy even without the sleep.  Nesting in full swing!  Time for bed!!
