Oh pregnancy...


I'm bored. I'm tired. I have the blahs. I just don't feel right. So, tell me what's new, right???

Well, I got that ultrasound that I've been waiting for. I was measuring 34 weeks, 3 days, so tomorrow I'd be 35 weeks. Yup, still ahead. And Baby Mark is about 5 pounds, what they've been estimating him at for a few weeks now. With that in mind, I had another appointment today as I'm not going in weekly because of my irritable uterus. The doctor doesn't wait to schedule my C-section until September 15th. I really, truly don't think I'm going to hold out that long. I just accepted the date, knowing that I'll probably go into labor and have an unscheduled C-section. I'm not worried about it. I'm just taking things a week at a time. I've got things to keep me busy. I can't lie, I miss working, but I guess it's better to be at home in case something does happen.

In the meantime, I've got meals to plan, thank yous to write, scrapbooking to do and christmas stuff to start on. Yeah, I've started Christmas shopping already. Might as well get it done early, huh?

I do have to say thank you to everyone who made our baby shower last weekend so special! We got a lot of the things we need and have since been able to finish baby's room. We keep joking that all we need is baby now. =) It was nice seeing our friends and being able to catch up. It was also great that everyone brought their kids because Bella had a blast playing! She is very much looking forward to being a big sister!

Anywhoo... Bella is bugging to get on YouTube, so I guess I'll share my ultrasound picture and bid you adieu until next time...

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.
