[christymama]

HI
My belly is getting sore! From the way he rolls and my belly moves along with him.. Sore in some spots. I am looking forward to having this baby too. But I want to hold out until my mom and aunt fly in They are in Indiana and will fly in the second week of April! So I have to wait until they are here:LOL
The weather is getting better tomorrow its gonna be in the 70's and then starting Sunday it will shoot up in the lower 80's all week! I can not wait.I am looking forward to it.... WOOHOO WOOHOO.. Well not much else new on the baby front.. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

[GoodWillHunter]

Gads, I hope this day at work ends soon. I only have one hour and 37 minutes to go... :LOL I'm keeping track!!!

I hate sitting in this little room all day, fielding phone calls from every person and their dog asking if so and so has been admitted to the hospital (call the family!) and/or if "my girlfriend has had her baby yet" ummmm... Why aren't you here? Sometimes, five to ten minutes goes by with no phone calls... That's why I'm on this board on Saturday and Sunday all day... I have nothing better to do. I suppose I could be studying for my Algebra test on Tuesday, but, why? I ask. Sigh... icky icky icky icky...

[christymama]

wow it must be nice out everywhere because there has only been one post here all day !
I think today has been the hardest day for me.. This baby feels like hes kicking the crap out of me.. I told dh we might have to change his name to Dameion. Because he is hurting me and I am starting to take it personal :LOL Today it was like to grabed ahold of the cord and yanked on it as hard as he could and it hurt like hell. Like someone poked me really hard in my belly button.. I will be glad to put a face to abuse i have been getting the past few days I know how cramped he must be in there. I packed the babys bag for the hospital today. Got some socks and a outfit and some diapers his baby book so i can fill it out.. I know I will be raiding the room for anything I can get my hands on.. I paid for it all anyways right :LOL
I may not be posting much this week. I have my appointment on the9th and its gonna be in the 80's all week. Maybe I will work on my tan so I can be all pretty in labor.. Get some sun on these ghostly legs of mine! Getting the shorts out woohoo woohoo woohoo!!~ Well I better get to bed.. Couldnt let Lisa be the only one posting on this today

[GoodWillHunter]

Always have to have the last word, eh, Christy? :LOL

[mom2mygirls]

33 weeks today moving right along only five more weeks to go intil they induce yay. going to my mother in laws today for dinner she is making us sloppy joes and my favorite potato salad I love her potato salad. not much else to report hope everyone is feeling well. Christina oh Goodwillhunter are you going to be bringing your cloth diapers to the hospital? I think Iam going to My Dh was like were are you going to put the dirty ones I said in a wet bag.

Christina

[christymama]

:LOL oh you know me oh so well Lisa :LOL

[GoodWillHunter]

Y'know, Christina, I didn't even THINK about bringing CDs to the hospital. D'you think I should? I mean, wow, I honestly wasn't planning to, but, hey, why the heck not? Hmmm... The only reason I wouldn't would be the fact that I will probably be there for a few days (3-4) due to a c-section. I don't have enough dipes for that. I have 36 CPFs. Sounds like a lot, but my 2 year old goes through about 20 dipes a day, due to the fact I change him the minute he gets wet. :LOL

I've been having contractions (i guess?) on and off all morning. I had some last night, but I'm not sure they're worth calling the doc about. I mean, I'm at work here in a hospital, what could go wrong? That was said sarcastically by the way....

What do you ladies think????

I'm really tired, too... I didn't sleep well at all last night. I woke up kinda nervous and excited (for whatever reason...couldn't pin it down...)

[christymama]

is this the hospital you will be having the baby at? Is your dr there? You could just talk to him about them.. Or before you go home have him just do a real quick check.. if it makes you feel any better i couldnt sleep worth a darn last night either.. Dh said he hasnt had a good nights sleep in three months either lol maybe hes feeling the pregnancy sleepless nights too..

[GoodWillHunter]

Well, it doesn't really work that way. Unfortuantely, I'm working at a branch of the hospital where I am delivering at, but I also need to go through the proper channels. No biggie. I'm fine. I mean, really, if it's something, I'll find out later. More than likely, it's from sitting in this same position for 8 hours. Only 3 more days to go and I'm done done done! Meaning, I have to work next Saturday, Sunday and then again the following Saturday. ... YIPPEEE!!!!! Any more news on the front about your "aunt"?

[christymama]

No not yet .. I have to file for a free credit report to see if there is anything else she has done in my name.. More then likely the crack ho did. I just hope she burns in
LOl thats not happy thought for a pregnancy thread :LOL

[GoodWillHunter]

Yeah, well, I was thinking about it earlier, so, I figured I'd ask. Pregnancy isn't always a bed of roses...Lord knows, I need a bed of roses, tho! :LOL

I'm going home in 35 minutes and I will be asleep inside of 1hour and 15 minutes. Count on it!

[christymama]

Oh no i wasnt talking about you bringing it up in here. Thats fine i have no problems with that.. I was just thinking and laughing to myself about me wanting her to burn in hell LOL.. The kids have been outside all day today! Its about 80 here today! I put in a frozen pizza today for thier lunch.. I just cant stand for to long because it hurts so bad. My poor house! Only 4 weeks to go only 4 weeks to go~~ I need to get my car seat out of the closet and have dh load it in the truck.. .. I have two boxes full of cloths and goodies coming my way. One from my mom and the other from my best friend from High school.. She sent me a email and told me she sent it out and filled it to the brim lol.. I cant wait! My poor post lady has been carrying box after box to my door the past few months.. With us living so far away from any stores( hour and half) it is just easier to get it online.. The only time we drive to "town" is to go to my dr appointments LOL. pretty sooon that will all be over woohoo woohoo.. Well i think i will go get a ice cream sandwhich and scarf that down! Have fun mamas..
Lisa have a good nap!!!

[GoodWillHunter]

Here in San Antonio, it is, according to DH 80+ degrees outside. I don't really like hot weather and that's getting close to hot. Hey, kinda T, but does anyone have any suggestions for cheap outings for 4 kids, three of them 3 and under? The kids' Spring Break is approaching rapidly and DH is worried about me being cooped up in the house with 4 whining, fighting, bored kiddos.

I'm thinking about taking them to:

A nature park with paved trails so we can do a "listening" walk and collect stuff.

My mother's house and leaving them there all week... Just kidding!

The playground at said nature park so they can climb the rock wall, not my walls inside my house!

Ummm...Oh, the river to feed the ducks....

Maybe the wild animal orphanage to see the orphaned animals (I may not be able to handle this... I LOOOOVE critters).

A fire station so they can see a real live fire truck up close and personal.

The police Station so they can see a policeman up close and personal (This may be a bit boring as, well, they don't drive way cool trucks like firemen do!!!)

I would do the zoo, but that costs money.

Maybe our wildflowers will bloom and we can go on a flower hunt? Just an idea. Any others??? HELP! I don't wanna be 34 weeks pg with four grumpy kids!

[christymama]

What about to the library for story time?
maybe you can call the zoo. Alot of times they will have specials for small kids. I know here there is a small zoo and its like 2 bucks a kid and we just brought our own lunches in coolers..
plan the week out like Monday is rock finding day, Tuesday will be looking at all the colors of the new flowers sprouting.. Take a walk to a park or drive ( thats what i would do is drive lol) and let them RUN.. Well when i think of more i will let ya know.... My kids start spring break the 19th..

diapers in the hospital

Even if you don't want to take your cloth dipes to the hospital, do take a couple of packs of disposables. The overhead and markup on them in incredible if you "buy" them from the hospital. We found this our when my son was admitted for jaundice and they *refused* to use the cloth we brought.

[GoodWillHunter]

Funny things that happen in my house

When I got home from work today, I really really really wanted some rocky road ice cream. I went to the freezer. No rocky road. Nada. Zilch. I immediately called DH, who had taken the kids to his parents' house across town (what a sweetie ) and accused him of eating it. DH loves ice cream. He can eat a whole half gallon and never gain an ounce. Jerk. He hates marshmallows and won't touch them with a barge pole. However, I was convinced he ate the ice cream. He said he didn't. I said he did. Did not! Did too! Did not! Did too! He said, "Maybe you ate it last night, gave a big burp and then went on to sleep with heartburn " I said, "I would've remembered that, dipsh*t!" :LOL After a few more hypothetical situations, he said, "Did you check the refrigerator?" I said, "Like I would put it in there..." I open the refrigerator and.... what do I see????? MY ICE CREAM!!!!!!!! I had pregnant mommy mush brain and put it in the refrigerator. I couldn't stop laughing, it was soooooooo funny. : : :

Another funny thing in my house is that I have valet pottying service. My two year old, Hunter, will open the door to the bathroom, lift the lid, hand you the toilet paper, help you wipe and flush the toilet. Really. I'm the only lucky one who gets this treatment. Guess he really loves his mama!!! :LOL5

I also have valet computer service. Hunter will click on my icon for Windows XP (It's a duck. I LOOOVE ducks) and then turn my chair just so and say, "Here go, Mama!"

He makes me laugh. So do they all

OMG ~ I just finished with a massage client...I don't think I can take anymore! My back was killing me 10 minutes into it.

On a postive note..I had a *beautiful* blessingway on Saturday! 12 wonderful women gathered to bring me beads, blessings, singing, and food! The hostess had set up a gorgeous altar with fresh flowers and lavender candles. All the mamas present brought pictures of their babes to place on the altar too. Then a surprise showed up at noon...a local female musician who led us in about a dozen great songs and chants celebrating women and birth. Then after lunch, i got the best seat in the house and my friends washed and massaged my feet, painted my belly with henna, and brought me strawberries with cream and chocolate!! What a perfect day!!!

AND it has finally stopped raining ~ today was so gloriously warm and sunny. I couldn't believe when i stepped outside and was wrapped in a rapturous blanket of warm air. I was getting really tired of the cold and it wasn't helping my mood either.

goodwillhunter...you already have so many great outing ideas. i haven't been able to come up with anymore just yet....

take care mamas.

[GoodWillHunter]

Oh, MJ, I'm sorry you're hurting. I know what you mean, tho. I made DH help me clean the house this evening. Actually, he did most of it. :LOL My back hurts too much. I do so need a massage. I think I'm gonna spring for one next week.

[mommajubilee]

thankfully we just found our doula, who is also a massage therapist, and she said she wants to work on me at least a couple of times before the birth.

during that whole massage this afternoon, i was thinking, why the hell am I *giving* the massage??! i'm *sure* i need one more than this woman does! :LOL ah well, i think she may have been my last client for awhile....

[lovelee]

Christina,
I'm planning on bringing my cloth diapers to the hospital.

Still having contractions all the time, my cervix is softened and I'm about a one. I was nervous on Friday night becasue they were coming pretty frequently and more intense, I also had some back pain and pelvic pressure, luckily it petered out. I think we'll have the baby by the last week in March, but DH doesn't think we'll make it that far. My next app is next week and I'll be getting my beta strep test then too, I'm just trying to keep busy so the days go quicker!
