Dr. Appt. Update

Well, had my 38 week appointment today. Nothing new to report. I'm still pregnant, not dilated or effaced. No big surprise to me. Oh well, I guess we'll go when we go.

Let the fun begin!

I think I'm now beginning to understand what my friend Brenda is feeling. Just the last couple days I've noticed, my stomache muscles are hurting. It hurts to cough, sneeze and laugh. Not to mention walking sucks. I think I have now dropped. I think I look somewhat lower. I now have a healthy respect for contractions. This being my first experience with hopefully going natural (with drugs, but pushing the kid out the normal way) so all this is new to me. I don't remember any of this happening with Logan. But, yeah, I had one or two contractions last night, and when they say you'll know when you're having one, THEY'RE NOT KIDDING. Aye Chihuahua! I think that my guts were attempting to escape via my belly button! They didn't check me at the dr's office last week, as I'm trying to recover from an infection. Not a serious one, but they didn't want to disturb stuff while it was trying to heal. So, I guess we'll see how it goes at the 38 week appointment.

Bad Mommy

Alas, there is no good mommy post today. I think I may go crazy, literally and figuratively. My patience is nil, my two year old is two, I'm 9 months pregnant and I'm exhausted. My house is a mess, my nerves are shot, I'm not ready for this baby, I'm such a bad mom, how will I ever handle two?

Today's Musings....

Today is kind of a rant/why me/I don't know what blog. Forrest and I have come to a kind of conclusion of sorts...we must be annoying? or we stink? or people just generally don't like us. I told you, it's a why me blog today. We've kind of noticed that we never get invited to do stuff with other couples our age? Seems like we hear about all this fun stuff that happened over the weekend, or see pictures of stuff that people have done together and we've just drawn these conclusions. Now, this is not a plea for attention or what not. We'd just like to know what it is about us, that's off-putting? lol. I sound like a whiny little child don't I? I guess I'll just stop right there, so I don't make us look any worse...lol!!

Randomness

Well, not much for me to report on, except that now, I'm at the computer downstairs in the new office. YAY! We have an office again. I've been working on some baby blankets, crochetted and sewed the last couple days. As soon as I finish this post, I'll be back at my sewing machine again. Logan is blissfully asleep *hallelujah* and I'm down here typing away.
I've been toying lately with the idea of becoming a Scentsy consultant. It seems like it would be a good idea, Dori had a party a couple weeks ago and there seemed to be quite a few people that are interested/have heard about it. I like the product cause it's wickless. Hence, no fire, safe for kids to be around. I'm waiting for the scents that I did order at the party. I can't wait to smell them! I ordered one called Toasted Apple Butter. Let me tell you, I'm not one for apple smells normally, but WHOOOO WEEEEE, this one will be on re-order permanently for me. It smelled so good, I wanted to eat the wax! Anyway, we'll see how that goes.
We're also approaching the end of the pregnancy. HOLY COW!!!! Where did the time go on this one? I remember it going fast with Logan, but not THIS fast. I feel like I should be like 6 months along instead of 9!!!! We're still no where near ready for this little guy though and that's what frightens me. I hate the feeling of not being ready. I don't want him to come into the world feeling like he was second place or and after thought, you know? But, we have narrowed the names down quite a bit, the original list was:
Ammon
Caleb
Owen
Carson
Micah
Quinn
Fox
Ian
Elijah
Caden

We've now narrowed it down to:
Ammon
Owen
Micah
Fox
Elijah
Carson

Our two favorites are:
1. Owen
2. Micah
and Elijah being #3.

So, I guess we'll see how it goes. About as far as I've/we've gotten on baby prep are, getting registered at the hospital and if he doesn't come out via VBAC, then he's coming out via C-Section on the 12th of Sept. Logan's in his own room down the hall now and the baby's clothes have been washed and put away, that's about it.

argh!

Breaking Dawn

That's right, just wanted to rub it in. I currently hold this book in my hands....yes!!! I may be unavailable for the next several days!!!

Imposter!!!

I'm scared, I'm truly terrified and I wanted to tell you, there someone I don't know, living in my house. There's...some sort of imposter living in my house, I don't know where he came from, or who let him in. He looks strangely similar to my husband. Last night he told me, "We only have a couple things left to do this weekend, if we can get some of this list done we should go on a date." Thats when I knew, someone had kidnapped my beloved husband. The imposter was talking, a little later on that night, "It really doesn't matter how much we get done, we'll go on a date anyways." By now, I was well and truly scared. Someone has taken my husband and replaced him with some freakishly realistic replica. This replica later went on to spoon me while I slept last night, and helped me do a little gardening today. This just gets weirder and weirder, he just walked in and said to me, "I'm going to take a shower and get Logan ready, you decide where you want to go," Then sounding somewhat like my husband he said, "someplace cheap." I said, "How cheap" He said, "I don't care." which was followed by, "I still don't feel good."
I knew it!!! It must be aliens, that's the only explaination, the aliens have taken my husband and given me some weird, romantic? replica.

Stress

Argh, another whiny post. I feel so stressed out lately. My patience is like, null and void. I feel awful, because Logan is usually the cause of the patience being lost. Don't get me wrong I love my child beyond measure. He just makes me want to rip my hair out somedays. He doesn't deserve to be yelled at, which, I need to work on sometimes. Usually I'm pretty good and just use a stern voice to get him to listen. Lately he's just been a little stinker, as I mentioned in another post with the "Im not listening" phase of 2 year-oldness. It's so hot right now. I just have no energy to get out and do things. I blame the patience and the energy on being almost 9 months pregnant...*sigh*
