LOWS:
I am so uncomfortable! I can't breath, can't sleep, my back hurts, I'm getting kicked everywhere and I am freaking myself out with stillbirth dreams, c-section dreams, stupid lizard baby dreams.
Seth got really sick Saturday night. Luckily Shawn took care of the cleaning up of it all, but Seth kept barfing all Saturday night. Today he has a raging fever.
Sugar was late to school every single day. I blame it on the boys, because I get Sugar ready and she's done first. The boys just dawdle, and even if I yell and threaten, or am nice and do everything for them, they can't get out the door on time. There's always a problem, and I can't leave until they leave, or they wont leave!
HIGHS:
Bought a 10 lb bag of Sonic ice this week for $1.95. I'm almost out of it, already. Even the kids are asking for the ice in their water now. I'm creating ice monsters.
Shawn resumed his Dinners Out with the kids, one on one this week. Started with Cole, and they were gone for almost 3 hours! They set goals, talk about life and just have that fatherly bonding time they don't get much of because of the hours Shawn logs in at work.
Bought a baby swing off Craigslist. I love Craigslist. I pretty much have all of the baby gear I need for the first few months, and I put all the clothes away, ready to go. Nothing else is ready. But I have the car seat washed and ready, and the swing, and those are the most important to me.
We had this great family day at the park yesterday. We threw the football, Shawn hit the baseball out to the kids, Cole, who complained about both sports, created some crazy obstacle course involving riding the wagon down a hill, through a rock pile and around some trees. Only Sugar got hurt when it tipped over, but nothing major. Then the kids sort of jogged with Shawn, while I walked the park. It's sad to say that our kids are totally out of shape.
It's February! Baby month! I've almost made it! If I get induced, I only have a little less than 3 weeks left...I can do it, I can do it, I can do it....

I think with Rachel or Sarah I had a dream that I popped the baby out and then it was like 9 months old--and I thought "oh perfect-i skipped all the hard newborn stage part!"
ReplyDeleteThe flu is going around RAMPED everywhere I swear--we managed to skip it at xmas time when it was going crazy-and now its like round two--which we have yet to get (knock on wood!).
Funny about the ice monsters---we've taught our girls to ask for no ice in their drinks at the drive through (because you get WAY MORE soda in your cup and its always freezing cold anyway!).
How fun for Shawn to have one on one's. Jon does the PPI's on fast sundays with each girl.
Craigslist is the best---how nice to get so much stuff and be somewhat ready!
And for reals--your pregnancy flew by for me!! i cant believe you're so close!!!
Yay for baby month! Can't wait to meet her
ReplyDeleteThe last month of pregnancy is a killer! I'm so glad you have your priorities straight in getting a baby swing. When Meg was born I had already given away all of my baby stuff, and I decided that a swing wasn't in the budget and I could do without. BIG MISTAKE! In fact, it was quite possibly one of the worst decisions of my life.
ReplyDeleteJared and I were just talking the other day about getting back to regular dates with our kids. They always love them. It just takes scheduling them in and doing it.
Hang in there Amber. You CAN do it!
