I made one about a month and half ago and really wanted to make another for the leftovers, but my DH convinced me otherwise. And he is right bec. he will not be around to help and I have two other kids to take care of and MOST importantly who know when I'll be going in to labor!? It's not likely this early, I know, but I didn't want to take the chance... Anyway- good luck with your sale! Hope you make tons to be able to buy lots of fluff

Well, i had some preterm labor issues and prodomal labored the last month, too. I totally felt the whole 'im.gonna be pregnant foreevvvveerrr' thing.

Thanks, its mostly clothes and toys. Clutter that needs to goooo. So i can pay off my mw haha.

Hopefully DF is home soon. The kids were not so good today. Also i need help moving the bedrooms around still. Does anyone have a husband i can rent out for a few hours?

Oh, I am so happy for you and admittedly slightly jealous. I have to work until August 2 (edd 8-10) in order to have my insurance cover my birth. :/

I KNOW!!! That is so crazy to me. I just had my 35 wk appnt and Angelyn just had a baby girl!!! Was weird that her name popped into my head last night one of the times I woke up.

I have had a BAD day. Everything got screwed up bc my mw was 1 1/2 hr late this morn. I had both kids. Forces us to eat out (we were all famished and an hour from home) and I lost dds nap ti
E, which is when i recharge a bit. Ds is driving me insane. Who would ever think that a 6 yr old would be higher maintenance than my 2 yr old. He drives me crazy. I literally pray every day for patience and strength in dealing w/ him. I am counting the days til school starts for him on aug 20th. I feel awful for him...like can he tell he drives me crazy but does he still know how much I love him?? I never thought I could feel this way toward a child...but he wears me down w/ his need for attention and constant talking and boyish energy which causes broken things every day. I seriously hope ds2 is different, and yet I feel so awful about wanting that. I know Gods wisdom
Is better than mine and I should be grateful for anything I receive from him. I have some heart work to do.

Scored today. Got 2 brand new (only washed) kissaluvs size 0 for 5 dollars for both. From someone on Craigslist just 5 miles from my house(which is weird cause I live in the country). She emailed me back tonight too and said she found 3 more while cleaning I can have for 7 dollars for all.
These are good diapers, right? People seem to like them?...
I thought it'd be nice to have some variety since right now in newborn/smalls all I have are aios (or stuffable aios). And prefolds but I don't think ill use em. Never did with ds and can't see us using them with this baby. I think we'd put on a big one size before a prefold. Maybe cause we never tried a prefold.
So 5 kissaluvs for $12. Not bad, eh?
And spent about 7 hrs organizing in baby room and my sons new room. Washed a lot, all clothes, bedding, Boppy and covers and carseat covers...and don't know how I acquired so many bottles but sorted all that and have a grocery bag full to put in rummage. Feels good cause I know another couple hrs and it'll be baby ready. Just have to fold and put away clothes. Makes me calmer knowing its ready. Even though babe will be in our room for awhile.
What is everyone doing this weekend?

[mama2seth&trey]

I am working this weekend. 3rd shift. The nice thing about it is after I wake up there is several hours before I go to work so I can be mom for a while. Yesterday I dusted, swept, and mopped the livingroom. Next up is to tackle finihing the bathroom and at least getting the primer on the wall after getting all the sanding dust out of it.

[bohemianxchaos]

I just got home from work. Have a ton of laundry to do. Dont wanna move. Such is my life. Hugs to everyone.

Oh, and also, if one.more person tells me.i look like im due 'any minute now' i might cry. I know im definitely out there with only 6 weeks til EDD but dangit

^ Oh, I hate those comments! There are ways to talk to someone about pregnancy without being annoying. You can't go wrong with saying someone looks great, or how cute their belly is. I also don't mind comments about being pregnant in the summer or how hot I must be. But please don't make me feel fatter than I already feel by saying anything about how I look ready to pop, or act like I should be farther along than I am. Ugh.

I had a check up yesterday, things are looking good. Heartbeat in the 140s. Blood pressure good, no concerns on my weight or anything. Not dilated (just about a fingertip) but cervix is thinning nicely. There was a bit of protein in my urine, though, so they sent it in for a urinalysis and will keep an eye on it. I had my GBS swab, too. Will hear back on everything at my appointment next week... which is also my son's two year check up! Crazy.

Speaking of that, his party is tomorrow and I'm really excited for it! Have a few last minute things to take care of tomorrow, but I'm done for the day and DH is almost done with the stuff that needs to be done outside. Our friends will be here soon and then we're going out to dinner and hanging out with them for the night. My mom is watching DS for a couple of hours so we can have a bit of free time.
