Yes, well.
The shit hit the fan, and yesterday someone was very attentive, cleaned up the laundry room, did all the vacuuming, redid the flower bed, cleaned up the kitchen, didn’t leave any clothes anywhere besides said laundry room and provided dinner.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm.
Moving on!
I went out yesterday and got nursing bras at motherhood maternity. I had completely forgotten about them [...]

Just another Saturday.

Oh no the hell he didn’t!
So, today, after I posted, I had a burst of energy, and decided to do some cleaning.
I moped the kitchen, the bathrooms, the foyer. I swept, I vacuumed. I cleaned our bathroom. Got on my knees and cleaned the tub, the shower. Made up the bed, straightened up the den. I paid the bills, balanced the [...]

Just another visit to the OB……..
I went for my weekly OB appointment today.
After the standard stuff was out-of-the-way:
BP:Normal
Urine:Normal
Group Beta Strep(GBS): Negative
Weight:No change(THANK GOD!!!)
I sat down for a chit chat with my midwife.
You see, I am miserable. I woke up every hour, on the hour last night to pee. Sciatica has returned, so when I first stand up, it’s like sharp [...]

I wish my uterus would put me out of my misery.
All this cramping, tightening, contraction shit is for the birds.
It starts.
It stops.
It starts.
It stops.
And Baby Boy is moving like crazy!
My only consolation is…..did you see my ticker???? 25 days left(I hope)!
But for now…….
I am so damn uncomfortable.
I am not a happy mama to be. [...]

36 weeks and counting
36 weeks.
Well now.
The countdown continues.
My last order of business is to pack up my hospital bag.
I’ve studied all of the lists out there, and made my own.
I’m currently trying to gather all these things and pack them up.
It’s hard to do so contracting every time I get going. In some ways, I wish they would [...]

A day in the life
Since Sunday night, I have been contracting on and off. Some very uncomfortable, some not so much. It’s just getting annoying. Like my Granny used to say, “shit or get off the pot.”
C-Dub is taking all of this very seriously and is hardly letting me go pee by myself. I feel like I have to [...]

My first hospital visit.
Well, my child decided to act a fool today, and not move.
At all.
For 4 hours.
I tried everything. I drank juice, ice-cold water, laid on my side, jiggled my belly.
Nothing.
Told C-Dub, and the next thing I knew, I was on my way to the hospital.
Got there, the strip(the heart rate) was 140s, but not exactly what they call “reactive.” [...]

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 [...]

My current reality
The unemployment office is a degrading, depressing place. You see people from all walks of life. The person waiting next to you could be a laid off city worker making 20K , an executive who made 100K, or me a nurse who was firmly in the middle. We’re all in the same place, at the [...]
