Man Child

I love this picture. My doctor has artwork by this artist, Steven Hanks, all over his office. This is one of his newer ones. It's called the "The Newest Angel". When I first saw it, I wanted soooo bad to have a baby boy so I had a good reason to purchase it. Now that I'm having that boy, I'm too cheap to spent the $250 on the print. Go figure. I guess I need to pressure Aaron into getting it for me for Mother's day. HA!! Yeah right! I would totally settle on my carpets being cleaned instead. That's my OCD and nesting instincts talking.

SOOO I do finally see a light at the end of the tunnel. My doctor has scheduled me for a c-section on the 27th of May at 12:30pm. If I don't go sooner. At least I have an end date. I know that I won't be pregnant on the 28th. HURRAY!!! There is an end to this madness.

Better Day

Sorry for being so grouchy the last post. If you couldn't tell, I was having a bad day. I think everyone is entitled to one of those every now and again....pregnant women are entitled hourly.

The 23 month old red headed terror made me laugh:


She likes to wear these around the house. She can't breathe when she wears them, and they are way to big for her noggin, non the less she loves them.

Look...they sleep the same way, hand behind their head, hoggin the whole bed. Crack me up.

STUPID

I've taken the advice of my friend Jessica and I'm doing the Finding Nemo -Dori mantra of "Just Keep Swimming" instead mine is "Just Keep Moving, Just Keep Breathing, Don't Kill Your Children"

So this week has been one heck of a roller coaster for me. I am physically and emotionally drained from everything, especially from a certain 23 month old red head. Hmmm who could that be? I feel like there are millions of things that need to get done, that MUST get done before little man arrives - and the list gets longer and longer, but nothing gets crossed off. Stupid OCD and nesting!

I watched Oprah this week, and the topic was mother hood confessions. Women talked about how hard and crazy it is it be a mom - yet they sure had clean houses and looked stylish and cute. I watch from the comfort of my couch, toys scattered all around, dishes begging to be washed, and I'm pretty sure I was still in my pajamas for the third day in a row. (Stupid Oprah - way to add to the depression that I was already feeling from the loss of ER - that blog still needs to be written, but the emotions are too high - besides - stupid ending - really?! Seriously?! Arg!)

My stomach can not get any bigger - no joke - there is no more room for this child to consume. Therefore he feels the need to try to take up space in my ribs - not fun. He also has ruined the certain foods for me - Chocolate now tastes like onions - I know gross, and my Coke - the life line to my sanity - tastes like wet dog smell. Be for warned that without a little Chocolate or Coke in my system - I'm bound to be a tad grouchy and short tempered. I am almost to the point of having ya'll pray that we just have him already - but I'm not in the mood for another NICU thing.

Sorry to be so grouchy - I guess a little also has to do with stupid Ron and the Stupid Biggest Loser and freaking Sione getting voted off tonight - sheesh - I mean really?! I can't stand Ron - he takes off his shirt and I shutter (then again I take of my shirt and I shutter as well - just not as much vomit comes up). He's mister "So innocent - such the victim bla bla bla". Dude needs to get voted off and Filipe needs to win the whole damn thing - and Sione win the $100k from the voted off contestants.

Okay - I'm really done now being grouchy, I'm going to go take my 6 pills of pregnancy and try to get some rest. ha ha yeah right.

P.S I was going to post some pictures from my camera - but a certain 23 month old red head has taken the connection cord and has done who know's what with it. It's probably in the infamous black hole that everything else has disappeared too - including my CTR and wedding ring.

Who's counting?

I have 58 days until I'm due. I know I won't go the full 58 days - but none the less, the number doesn't seem nice. I'm done. The only positive thing I have to say is

A Human is prego for 266 days

A Camel is prego for 406 days

A Giraffe is prego for 410 days

A Horse is prego for 337 days

An Elephant is prego for 640 days

A Goat is prego for 151 days

An Opossum is prego for 13 days....... I wouldn't mind being an opossum, but I don't want kids that look like this

New Addition

FYI - Sarah's water broke this morning on her way home from work, around 3am. We went to the hospital and they went ahead and did a c-section around 8am.

Archie Deal Doster

4lbs 1oz

16 inches long

Both mom and little man are doing well.

Pics to follow.

April Fools. I wish he was here already.
Oh - and I would never name my son Archie - not my style.

What are you doing?

What are you doing August 11th?

Ashlee, Elle, and I are going to:

I know, you're jealous.
I really deserve the Mother of the Year Award.
(I am totally going to hold these tickets over their head all summer long - they will have to be on their best behavior.)

+++++++++++++++++++++++

Side note - apparently my body is sick of renting out space to my little man. It is trying to evict him using all means necessary - minus opening the floodgates - if you wouldn't mind just giving me a little shout out in your prayers it would be greatly appreciated. Little man needs to continue to rent space for at least another 4 weeks. Thanks.

Love Letter

Dear Aaron,

I am so glad you are back from the mountains. I really did miss you and the girls around day 4. I am so thankful for the rest I was able to get, and the fact my house stayed clean more than 30 minutes. You are the best husband in the world.

Now you are probably wondering why I posted a picture of baby bedding. As you may recall, I am currently a human incubator for your ONE and ONLY son. He has been a pain and hardship through out this pregnancy, and if he is anything like you or my brothers, we are in for one hell of a challenge. EHM - I mean, I hope he turns out to be as thoughtful, caring, kind, sweet, and loving as you.

The ever so cute bedding, with PLAID, STRIPES, and DOTS is currently on sale, for the low low price of $139. Can't you picture our little man waking up in the morning after sleeping all night in this cute and comfortable bedding? He would learn to appreciate your style of PLAID, STRIPES, and DOTS.

Please remember the first few months of hell from this pregnancy, and my current state of pain and uncomfortness before you make your decision.

I Love You,

Your Wench.
