Month: January 2008

I'm feeling rather superstitious about it. I guess it's cause with Michael I packed them by 30 weeks and had them by the door staring me down for 2 1/2 months... And With Aiden I had them ready by at least 35 weeks... Tomorrow I'll be 38 weeks, and I just can't seem to drop everything in there and zip up the dumb bag... It'd take less than a half hour at this point to put it together, but every time I go to do it I get all freaked out and feel like I'll have to wait even longer if I finish, LOL! Logical, nope, but it's where I'm at... Not sure why I'm posting this, just had to get it out there...

Cause I'm too excited I guess.  We had a good day yesterday, still lots of contractions but I don't think anything is happening.  I'm still having contractions this morning, but it really isn't getting regular of more painful than they have been.

Well he's not going to be born on the 5th, cause it's the 6th now... OH well. I'm not too bummed. though I did have contractions for 7 hours every three minutes, then I sat down and they went to 7 minutes apart, got up to help Kevin make dinner, back to three, and then they went away for a while and are back to about every ten minutes, but not as hard. I'm just scared of doing this at home. I had a dream two days before I found out I was pregnant that I gave birth at home. I thought that was really weird since I wasn't thinking about babies at the time. I hope it doesn't come true... I'm not trusting my body so much these days…

Well it's finally warming up, but it's raining... Irony. It should stop raining about 1 or 2 though according to weather.com. The plan at this moment, once Kevin gets done with his homework this morning, is to go to IKEA and get out some energy, it's warm there, and we can walk quite a bit. Plus at least Michael can play in their play area with other kids for a little while. He hasn't seen a lot of other kids, besides Aiden, for the last three weeks, so it may be good to get him used to it again before he goes back to school on Monday.  Aiden would need to be potty trained and not in pull-ups before he can go there, so not quite yet. Then once we're…

Accept I'm still pregnant. I did the HOT & SPICY Gumbo lastnight for dinner. No luck. I didn't think it was hot enough to do anything though. I went to Famous Dave's BBQ the night before Michael was born (it was Kevin and Mark's birthday dinner) and ordered sausage, and had lemonade to drink. They served these HUGE cups there, so I drank a LOT, and the sausage was VERY hot, hotter than the gumbo lastnight. I also had lemonade too lastnight interestingly enough, not on purpose though, just thought it'd be funner than water or milk (silk for me). So anyway I had Michael the next night, after going into labor hours after eating that. No such luck with the gumbo though. We're having car troubles, with our ONE…

Ahhh! I want to cry! Everything else looks perfect though. The red flags are all gone. I've been eating and drinking enough, so the problems that caused are gone now, and the pre-e symptoms are gone. It's hard to keep up with the water and food my body needs at this point. I've lost another 3 pounds over the last week. I got some spicy foods and pineapple at the grocery store this morning (remind me not to take the big boys there anymore), and I plan on walking 'till I drop over the next week. To bad Texas decided to get cold this week, I'll have to find somewhere warm to go and walk. I also got some Silk (soy milk) and sherbet, so I can indulge in cereal…
