35 weeks

October 23, 2009

35 weeks down
5 to go.
FIVE!!
Had a fly by appointment on Wednesday, nothing new.  I learned that there will be no more ultrasounds unless something is wrong.
But moving on:

How far along? 35 weeks today.
Total Weight Gain? Let’s just say like one my midwives said: it is what it is.
Maternity Clothes? I’m running out.  I am [...]

Frustrations

October 6, 2009

OK.
In the midst of this crisis, C-Dub is talking about quitting his job.
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME??????
Points for me, I managed to stay calm and talk him down using reason:
a: you have a baby on the way
b: your wife has no job
I should have known this was coming.  C-Dub is notorious for loving a job [...]

Baby Dub rolls onto my bladder with increasing frequency [...]

31 weeks

September 25, 2009

Today I am 31 weeks.
Yay for us!
What IN:
Flu Shot: Yes, I got one today at my local Walgreens.  Do you know they make you bring in a note from your doctor saying it’s alright for you to get one?  Well, it didn’t hurt at all, and I took some Tylenol afterwards to get rid of [...]

A Tour.

September 20, 2009

We went on a tour at the hospital I am going to deliver at.  C-Dub thought this was crazy for a variety of reasons:
It’s Sunday.
Football is on.
It’s raining cats and dogs outside.
And last but not least, I used to work there.
Yes, it does sound a bit crazy that I would want to tour a place [...]

30 weeks

September 18, 2009

First off, I’d like to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers.  They really mean a lot to me and reminds me why I love my bloggy friends.
30 weeks down.
10 weeks to go.
The beginning of the home stretch.
I wish I had less time.  I wish I had more time.
It’s a conundrum.
I’m in a better place [...]

September 17, 2009

I admit to being slightly depressed.
I remember after my miscarriage, I felt this overwhelming despair.
I’m getting close to it now.
This happened when I sat down and actually calculated how much money we need every month vs how much we are actually going to have.
There is not enough.
We were still recovering from C-Dub’s 6 month layoff . [...]

Liquid gold

September 16, 2009

OH MY GOD!!!!
I’m sitting on the couch.  I reach down to scratch my right breast( enough TMI for you?) and noticed…………
My.breast.was. leaking.
Not a lot. 
But there it was.
Colostrum!!!!!!!!
I didn’t believe it, but then I squeezed and more came.!!
I can’t believe it! 
Yes, my life has been reduced to squeezing my own breast to produce colostrum……..
so sad.

A day later…..

September 15, 2009

So.  After I got over being mad/angry/in shock, I got to thinking.
Unfortunately, I live in Georgia.  It’s basically a state geared towards the employer, not employee.  Basically, they can do whatever they want to do, fire you or lay you off  at will.  Besides, it wasn’t just me they laid off.  They got rid of two [...]

The Very Top

September 13, 2009

After yesterday’s Victory, I think C-Dub has lost his mind.
Exhibit A:
He went to play golf yesterday evening and stayed out waaaaaaay too long.  Way too long just for golf.  But ok.  Whatever.  A man needs him time., and  he returned with food.
Exhibit B:
At 1130 this morning, he goes and plays another round of golf.  And this after [...]
