My neighbor was pregnant and due around the same time I am. Well she got lucky and popped the other day. Yeah, I'm guessing our little miss isn't quite ready just yet. I'm just 36 weeks along - still a few more weeks to go. While I'd LOVE to not be pregnant anymore, I also want her to be fully developed and ready to greet this crazy world.
She has dropped into my pelvis. I'm getting those groin sharp pains and shooting pains down my butt and legs. I have a doctor's appointment this Friday - hopefully I've started dialating already. Time has slowed down for sure. Having a 17 month old does keep me preoccupied at all times though!

Just Random thoughts
It's hot and dang humid outside. God bless air conditioning! It's supposed to thunderstorm today and tomorrow - which has prevented us from going to the pool. Go figure - if we head to the pool and it will immediately start raining....(at which refunds are a no-go at this place.) So, we will go to the pool perhaps Thursday?
Today has been the day of errands and getting alot of stuff done - which I am still on the go. I'm just taking a much needed breather. I have this rare time by myself (sans the Preston.) He and Josh went to get ice cream.
Pregnancy is going good - considering the heat and all. I'm just getting sick of people telling me how I look like I'm going to pop. Yes, I know I could combust at anytime but do you really need to remind me? O-well. About a month or so to go and I'll never have to be pregnant again! woohoo!
Two kids is rewarding enough for us - much to my parents dismay....they think we should have 4 or 6 or more! Good Lord! I like having my sanity thank you! I tell my dad that I'm still working on #2 and to leave me alone about having more! Put the pressure on my brother!! We've done our part to add to the family tree!!! My sister has 3 boys and 1 girl - yes God Bless her. They are constant busy and really tired all the time. You see, I want to enjoy my kids and be able to give them lots of attention - without being drained all the time. Besides, kids are expensive! Good grief! Two is all we can afford! Don't get me wrong, they are very rewarding and well worth all the effort. I love my babies!! ahhh it's unconditional love!
Yeah - good thing I love Preston through thick and thin! So there I was....
Josh and Preston were rough housing (watching wrestling...of course). I was relaxing on the couch and enjoying getting my feet up - finally. Preston comes over and wants up on my lap. Ok they little guy wants to cuddle....ummmmm no. All of a sudden he bites my left nipple through my shirt!!!!! OH MY GOD! Pain shot throughout my chest and a burning sensation radiated. Instantly I started crying - it has been awhile since I've been in that much pain. I feared looking at my wounded girl - if it looked as bad as it hurt, I was in trouble! Well it was a bleeder all right and it began to swell up. I grabbed a very cold soda can and iced it. Today it's still sore. Ugggggh.
Good thing I'm not breast feeding yet! Can you imagine how bad it would hurt if I had to have baby suck on it? oh Lord!
Yes, I have forgiven Preston. Good thing the darling is cute! He's teething and has been biting everything in site. Perhaps I need to get a metal bra!!!

And all we wanted was an oil change
So Preston and I venture out to get the Durango's oil changed. Earlier that day, we went to Sam's Club and got brand spank'n new tires for it. So I thought I'd really spoil the car and get it's fluids all cleaned up.
Well we get to this place called Blaines Farm and Fleet. It sells everything from farm equipment, hunting supplies to tires and baby clothes. Being just 1 minute (literally) down the road, it was a convenient place to go. (the key, ironic word being convenient)
I arrive and this older man behind the counter just stares at Preston and I in this weird creepy kind of smile. He tried making these weird hand gestures to Preston - as if the little guy was some sort of retard or something. Preston just glanced at him and looked at me for help. I felt his little hand grip a tad tighter on the back of my shirt. Ummm yeah - just here for an oil change buddy.
"So where is the dad?" he asked with the same creepy smile.
"At work." I hesitantly said
"what does he do?" He pushed on.
"He works in a band. Now how about that oil change?"
"When does your child eat?"
"Ummm it just depends on the day." (at this point he pasted the invasive line. I was getting down right uncomfortable.)
This clown then continued to make hand gestures and facial expressions to us that were just not right. I excused myself and walked through the store.
An hour later, I went to check on our car and it was still in the parking lot, untouched. grrrrrr....Preston was growing impatient and I was tired. They said I'd have to wait another hour at least. Why in hell did they lie to me in the beginning, saying it wouldn't take too long? I had to encounter creepy clown man and waste an hour of our lives waiting on nothing. They should of said that it would take at least 2 hours- that way I could of gone elsewhere. grrrrrrr... I hate that place.

Zombie state-of-mind
Tiredness. that is the word of the day.
Preston's teething keeps waking up at night and staying up for an hour or more. Thus making the entire household a complete reck of emotions. Mark my words - I'll never ever take sleep for granted again!

Early Bird gets the worm, right?
4:30 am is such a cool hour to be up at. I mean, the birds are chirping, sun has yet to peek out and our Peewee is bright-eyed and bushy-tailed! ugh. For the past several nights, he has been cutting teeth (we suspect it's his molars) and wakes up after his pain medication wears off. Well, we give him more meds but then he's awake and thinks it's time to play. Now his time clock is all sorts of off. Great.
So, he's been getting up at this lovely hour, goes back to sleep by 7:30 or 8 am, sleeps until 11 am and then goes to bed at 7:30 pm. This is definitely NOT working for Josh and I!!!
This morning he started this trend but I woke his cute butt up at 9:30 am and hopefully put him down for a second nap this afternoon and wait until 9 or so tonight to put him to bed. It's called reprogramming his little clock!! (hopefully!)

There are nice people in this world!
Yesterday at the pool, this lady asks me how much longer I have to go. I reply a month or so (and then wait for a hasty comment back...) MUCH to my surprise and delight, she said in amazement "WOW! You don't look that far along!! You are small!" WOOHOOO!!!
I immediately told her how much I liked her.
Then on my way to the lawn chair (immediately following my nice encounter with awesome lady), this nursing mom recognized me from a previous meeting at the pool. "I just want to tell you how cute you are and look. You are such a pretty pregnant lady!"
Thank you God! I needed those comments!!! :)

Blah
ok...now that I know that no one reads my random thoughts, I guess I'll just accept the fact I'm just talking to myself and that it's really great therapy or something to get my thoughts down in writing.

Anyone out there? anyone??
Out of pure curiosity, does anyone (other than my hot husband) read my blog? I want to know if I'm really just talking to myself here...
For Pete's Sake
So there I was ...
at our community pool, just stepping into the baby pool with Preston and Josh....when suddenly a middle aged woman looks at me with this shocked expression and states, " WOW! You look like you're going to pop anytime now!" whoa what? "Um not for another month or so," I said.
"Well then you're really going to pop then, aren't you!" ahem..... " I feel great," I said matter-of-factly. What this lady was implying was that I am huge. grrrrrr.... I just walked away, hoping this lady got the hint. Something tells me she didn't damnit. Doesn't she realize that women plump up with pregnant?
Why do people have to make stupid comments to me this pregnancy? For the love of God, WHY?! When I was pregnant with Preston, I got nothing but loving, encouraging comments. The funny thing is, I was bigger and gained more weight with him than I am with this baby girl. Yet, I am getting all these ridiculous comments of how huge I am from complete idiotic strangers. Perhaps it's Wisconsin women - who knows. I know not to take all what is said to heart but when multiple strangers are telling me the same thing, it's hard for my self-esteem to not take a beating.
Just over a month to go....then I won't have to be pregnant anymore! wooohooo!
Then the fun of losing this weight begins, oh joy.
