Am I in labor???

Lost a lot of a mucus plug. Dull back ache. Am I in labor? I dont know. I wanna say yes, I wanna say no! ahhhhhh I guess only time will tell. Im scared.

Things I dont wanna forget...

With this new baby coming I know a lot of attention is going to be put on him...and Brinley is just going to grow up without me noticing. It happened with Jentry when Brinley came along.

Theres some cute words that she says, that she is starting to say right....and I know Im going to miss the old words. This post will probably be periodically edited when I hear a new one...or remember one she says.

Here are some that are my favorites...

Unner-nunners for underware. She started saying underware right a couple weeks ago and I told her she wasnt allowed to say it that way. She thought it was funny, so kept saying underware...now shes back to unner nunners...and Im pleased.

Much. I like how she says it instead of saying "a lot" or something like that... She will say "You are in much trouble" or "I like it much."

I like when she wakes up in the morning and tells me she had lots of dreams. Ill ask her what she dreamt about...and she will say "that I love you" I hope she keeps dreaming that.

The other day she wanted to sleep at Grandmas house but it wasnt a good time. I told her that I would be sad if she slept over...cause I would miss her. And she said "Would your heart be sad?" I said yes. And she said hers would be too.

I like when I ask her how much does she love me...and she puts her hands behind her back and says...this much. I guess thats a lot. lol

She used to say grandpa and grandma like gampa and ga maw... how she says gwampa and gwandma. I love how she puts an emphasis on the w sound.

I cant know. She says that instead of I dont know. But shes starting to say I dont know a lot more. :-(

I was holding her last night cause she fell asleep on me. Shes not going to be my baby much longer. That makes me sad.

Already posted about it on the boards...

But just wanted to keep record of it here.

Went for the weekly appt today. Weight gain this week 0.
Did an internal and was able to feel the babys head...even tho he is up way high. Thats why his heartbeat is so high. So hes head down. Im 1 cm and 20% effaced and soft cervix.

So much for my productive day...

So my list...didnt get any shorter. lol

Yesterday we woke up a little late (930), got ready, left, went out to breakfast at Village Innwith the kids. Went to Toys R Us, Costco, Walmart, Target and Sears. Got a lot of Christmas shopping done, but by the time we got home I was BEAT! My feet hurt so bad. So I folded a couple batches of laundry and we ate pizza for dinner. Jentry did end up taking the decorations down today...so I dont have to worry about them being in the Welcome Home pics. Thanks Kathleen. But theres still so much to do. It will get done...one day.

List of what I need to do this weekend...

I asked Scott if he could REALLY help me this weekend to get things done around the house. Just so I can feel as if things are getting done, even if the house is wrecked once again when the baby comes...at least I know, it WAS clean. So heres my list. It will be edited as I do things and as I think of more things to do.

Clean the WHOLE HOUSE
Get the laundry done
Throw away mismatched socks
Clean out the playroom
Clean out and off my desk
Clean computer room
Scrub walls
Scrub Floors
Get all halloween decorations put away
Move couches and vacuum under them

Maybe we will get some of this done...Im really not looking forward to it. But I need to get this house in order.

Its sooooooo embarassing having a mom!

So this is what I get when I go to the "Invention Convention" at school. Jentry wont even look at me, too embarassed!!! Its all starting......I remember the days of being embarassed of my parents too. But Im the cool mom, right? I guess not.

Just a complaining post...

I dont think I will be able to make it another five weeks!!! Not with all of my sanity anyway. It hurts to walk, it hurts to sit, it hurts to lay. Im tired. I HURT. My pubic bone is going to split in half. Im going to topple over front ways (if that makes sense) Were our bodies really designed to handle this? I dont think so. Im tired, but I cant fall asleep, then I do, then I wake up and gotta pee so bad its coming out of my eyes. I pee, then I cant fall BACK asleep. As Im laying there I have heartburn and feel like I cant breathe.

December seems soooooooooooooooo far away. Every single day seems like an eternity! And then to make it worse, the doc said he isnt even turned. Dag namit, hes supposed to be ready to COME OUT!

The house is a wreck. I cant let a baby come into this mess. Things are EVERYWHERE. Theres laundry EVERYWHERE. Im home all day, why dont I do it? Cause Im too stinking tired. I look at it and groan. Then the day goes by and the only thing Ive done is cleaned the kitchen and the living room. Thats all I do everyday. Im supposed to be getting ready for this baby...why am I not? Why dont I ever get the nesting feeling. I WANT THAT!

Scott would help but hes been so swamped with work lately he cant even get all of that done. Im so glad its 8:30, Im going to bed in 30 minutes...and Im going to sleep dag namit! (I tell myself that every night) IM TIRED!!!

Invention Convention...

Jentrys 2nd grade is doing an "Invention Convention" They have to make something thats useful. We have had almost two weeks to do it. Its due tomorrow. Scott and I have been trying to figure out what to help her make for 2 weeks!!! Finally we decided a bird house. That's useful right? So thats what Scott and Jentry are working on right now. Brinley thinks she needs to help too. She is drawing on all of the wood pieces that they arent using.

Sure is nice to have a DH. I soooooooo didnt want to have to help with this project. Id cut a finger off.

Lady at Walmart asked when I was due...

And started a whole conversation with the whole line of people. LOL She told me that her "baby" was in college. I told her Im not looking forward to that day. Thats why I keep having more...they grow up to fast. She said, "Just enjoy them when they are little...then it wont be so bad when they grow up" I dont know about that...Im already dreading Jentry "leaving the nest" I dont think Ill ever let her move out. I think its against my rules...she will just have to get married and move her family in with us. I might regret saying that. lol
