having a stinky day

sigh**....im done. Im tapping out...throwing in the towel....calling 'uncle'. Ive officially reached the turning point. "Sarah Kathryn...i love you darling...but you are about to get your eviction notice. You havent paid rent for 8 long months and i just cant do business like that. ! " :)
Im ready to have this baby...she may not be ready...but i am. Dont get me wrong...i want this little bun to be fully cooked and done in the belly oven...but ..hurry it up! I need a vacation....from my body. Im just waiting for the skin on my feet and fingers to bust like an over-cooked hot dog! Only about 5 to 6 more weeks.... i can do it...i hope. Today i went to the doctor....and she served me up some souring news.... Im about to have to tell one of my dearest and best friends that i cant make it to her most special day...her wedding.. I never ever thought it was even a slight chance that id miss her wedding day..! im supposed to be there for her...you are supposed to be there for your best friend since middle school on her wedding day...im sure it is a law or something.! i cried. and cried. and cried some more. Im just frustrated bc there is nothing i can do to fix it.. .! this is wedding # 2 i will be missing bc of being so preggy..my college roomie is getting married in just a few hours today...and theres an empty spot where i was going to be standing...! boo hiss grr. Stinky day. Ive had a stinky day. Im very thankful for Sarah k...i just really wish i could be there for my friends... They were there for me... ! so just keep me in your thoughts....im having a poopy day so far.! i gotta perk up...dont want s.k. to be feeling all blue! Plus...Lee and Jennifer are coming to visit today! yay! they'll be here in a few hours! nothin like some home-grown freinds to turn that frown upside down!

week 34 Update

Week 34: Upside-down baby!
Fetal development in pregnancy week 34:fetus in eighth month Your amazing baby is on the move! They’ve been riding fairly high in your stretched-out womb to this point (while kindly compressing your poor internal organs), but now they’re planning on making the big move to your pelvis this week. If you haven’t already, you’ll be noticing the weight shift that signals they are most likely out of breech position, with their head now resting on your pubic bone. In liver news: although not quite fully formed, your little miracle’s liver is now capable of processing a certain amount of waste. In general, most of your child’s prenatal physical development is pretty much up to snuff and ready for the outside world. Naturally, further weight gain is expected—so you’re still not at maximum capacity despite probably feeling like you definitely are maxed out.

merry christmas!

Merry Christmas!!

we miss you all and hope you have a wonderful Christmas...but dont forget to miss us!

Sausage toes

Im down to about 3 pairs of shoes i can still shove my big swollen sausage feet in... and the best pair are my rain boots. ...and trust me...Pink and purple rain boots...despite their initial cuteness...do NOT go with everything....but im putting in a good effort to get them to. I hate rainy days...but now i dont mind them...bc i dont look so stupid for wearing the pink and purple rain boots with a nice outfit. SIGH>>>> never thought id see the day....

hungry hungry hippo

Poor clay...he's been such a champion husband through this pregnancy...but i think he's starting to get tired of it too! Im sure he already feels like he is caring for a baby by taking care of me...Putting my shoes on...Helping me stand up...sit down..roll out of bed..and making sure im fed! My hunger has really increased these past few days...and i feel like im starving every couple of hours...and when im hungry...you better just move out of the way...or run the risk of getting hurt! And clay has been very very sweet this entire pregnancy...always getting up to fix me something at nights... (hey..i gotta milk this for all its worth..once his baby girl is here..im gonna be chop suey....get my own snack) Last night...i couldnt go to sleep because...big shocker..i was STARVING!! Clay offers to go get me something... My request: A BIG bowl of cereal...(not that healthy i know...but ask me if i care at this point) So my darling husband dutefully retrieves the bowl of cereal....but with one problem... this was a small...average size bowl of cereal. Im not being ungrateful...but come on. You dont try to fill King Kong with one banana, right? So i say..as sweetly as possible ...Thank you! but...this is NOT the big huge bowl of cereal i requested... ( i know...i should have just shut up...ate the darn stuff and got more if i wanted it...but no...this pregnacy has given me word vomit) He looks at me and says..." you dont NEED a bigger bowl of cereal "... EXCUSE ME>>> cough..choke..!!! Bless his heart. If he didnt know...he knows NOW.. that you dont tell a 8 month preggy girl that she doesnt need more of anything! At this point...if i want to eat untill i absolutely puke...please..just step aside and let me.

week 33 info.

i get these emails every week telling about what's going on with baby girl...just thought id share this week's post with you: Week 33: Is it just me or is getting a little cramped in here?
Fetal development in pregnancy week 33:fetus in eighth month For all the weight and bulk you’re lugging around these days, you’d think your little champ should weigh much more than a mere 5 lbs and measly 7 inches in height, but nope, that’s about the average size for a baby in its thirty-third week. In terms of appearances, they’re getting cuter and pudgier every minute—just piling on the baby fat and those adorable little wrist rolls and chubby toes. And as we’re sure you’ve already noticed they’re getting stronger with every passing day. Nowadays, it’s possible to observe a well-placed kick just by watching your belly—but you already knew that didn’t you? Although they’re getting stronger, your bigger-by-the-day baby is losing space to move around, so the actual rate of movement will drop off in the last few weeks, despite that powerful drop-kick they’ve been working on. Did you know you’ll continue feeling their movements even during labor?

Thirsty camel

Well i had to go the the hospital the other night.. dont worry..nothing serious! i had been having some pressure and crampy feelings..just to be sure i called my doc up to see what she thought. She told me to go in and get checked....so here i go..Feeling silly in the first place for calling..( i dont want to be the kind of patient that called about every tiny thing) .headed to the hospital. I get there thinking some nice lady will just check me out..take my blood pressure or something and i'd be on my way. The next thing i know, im getting admitted into a room, hooked up to all kinda moniters and getting poked around at...i was starting to freak out a little...i mean, they had me all set up like i was going to GIVE BIRth right then..! So after all these tests and such...they tell me the big problem: Dehydration. That's it? all that to tell me i should drink more water? Who knew you are suppossed to have 8-10 glasses a day?! Thats aLot of water! They said that bc i was really dehydrated , my body was starting to have some mild contractions, but it should be fine if i up my water intake. So dont worry..its still all good in the hood! Im feeling better now...and Sarah Kathryn has even had her first set of hiccups since then! (must be all the water) ha ha!
