Now I'm getting aggrevated...

First of all, I can't sleep right now. I've been getting contractions again and I haven't been able to get comfortable and sleep through them. I'm hoping some Tylenol PM will do the trick. I'd rather like to be sleeping right now.

Second, it became official as of yesterday that my C section is scheduled for September 15th. Now, I said I wasn't gonna think about it or anything, but I'm a little pissed off about it. I've been measuring a week and a half head for about 3 months now and it was confirmed by my last ultrasound. That puts my due date at around September 13th, two days before my scheduled C section. I know doctors know best, but with all these damn contractions and not being able to work and how big the baby is, I would have liked them to move up the due date, even a little, and schedule earlier. Really, I'm scared shitless of going into labor. Hell, I'm even scared right now that if these contractions keep me up tonight, I will probably need to go in. (The doc said I should be able to sleep through them or rest/drink water to get them to slow down at least... all of which I've been doing with no let up yet.) Maybe I'm just over thinking things.... but, say my water breaks on a Wednesday afternoon... it could be an hour or more before my husband can get home to take me to the hospital plus at least an hour before I can get someone here to watch Bella since she won't be able to come with. Or even if I start getting contractions that get worse and worse and need to go in, same thing. I dunno... I'm hoping to ask lots of questions on Monday at my appointment. I wonder if my cervix starts changing (they are checking it because of the contractions) if they'll reschedule for an earlier date.

*sigh* I just don't know what to expect or do right now. I'm also bored and I miss work. I think somehow I knew I wouldn't be able to work until before my due date, but I hoped I would be able to. I also hoped I would be able to do things like normal for a little longer. It's taking its toll on me and I think a little bit on Bella too. There's only so many cookies you can make in a week!

Well then, I'm gonna go play Farmville or something until I get a little more sleepy. I hope I do and can go to sleep. I REALLY don't wanna go to L&D if these contractions keep me up. That would make my Friday a bunch of such. Plus, I promised Bella we'd go to the dollar store to get glitter for our art projects. What girl doesn't like glitter??

Cookies. Why yes. Yes I'll have a case.

My workout motivation just arrived last night by the case full. Girl Scout Cookie season is in full swing and I love Thin Mints as much as I love drinking and cursing. So, that's an awful lot. If you'd like to support some awesome little ladies and remove just a small box of temptation from my presence, hit me up. I'd be glad to get you your fix. And maybe I'll let you chase my toddler to burn a few calories. That's what I did this morning.

Hello New Year, Bye Bye Tonsils!

Image
We've started off this year with a BANG! Well, kind of. I guess? I don't do resolutions. But, I did set new ground rules for behavior around here.  Bella had been getting a weekly allowance since she was 3 for doing chores around the house. Lately, the allure of doing chores for allowance has diminished and the Christmas brattiness had been setting in. I came up with a new plan as of New Years. For every time Bella acts up, has a tantrum (apparently she hasn't outgrown these) or talks back, she loses a toy. I keep a big box in a storage area to put them in. For each day she completes her chores (usually only on Wednesdays and Sundays), she gets to get a toy back. Plus, at the end of the month, if she had done her chores and hasn't lost too many more toys, she gets an allowance. She seems to like this idea so far and hasn't lost many toys this year yet.  As for her brother, he's still too little to understand a lot of rules. But, we do make him pick up h

I feel like...

That episode of Sponge Bob where  Sponge Bob and Patrick are selling chocolate bars and that one crazy fish dude is chasing them and yelling "Chocolate!" I'm the crazy fish dude. But I have an accomplice. I guess hump day really needs to happen...... If you know what I mean.
