I really really really don't want those people (and if you read this blog you know who I'm talking about) to see my baby. I want to delete them from my friends list (their kids) so they won't but then I guess they might see her on Shauns profile.
ugh.
I hate having to not like people.
Anyway, I'm back to feeling normal. Well, a little bit better than normal because my house is like 85% clean. Both bathrooms are done, living room is half vacuumed, the floor is empty, the kitchen is almost finished... yeah. it feels good.
I have to blog this story from Friday... So I felt really bad. I had a cold, I threw up... blech. To top it off, I hadn't been feeling karli move as much as she usually does which was a little unnerving. I got a paper from my doctor about counting kicks and it is supposed to be 7 an hour which she was doing more of but not her usual 7 per half second.
Okay, so I was laying on my bed and jake came in all in a fuss because my shirt was above my belly. Nothing freaky going on, I was just in my room alone until that point watching my stomach because I was a little worried... Anyway, as soon as he came in talking she moved a lot and he gave her a kiss and left. Then we were back to hardly anything.
That night, I made my hamburgers and fries which I had wanted all week, and of course comes with root beer like any good dinner. Well, after dinner, she was abck to her wild crazy self and Shaun and I realized... She had root beer! That was all we needed. I know its not caffeinated but its just that good. We don't need additives.
Since then she has been fine so, no worries. She does like root beer a lot though.
My neighbor came over today to help me clean, which I was equally grateful and nervous about. I talk about my mess but having someone see that I don't exxagerate is a different story. She ended up cleaning my bathroom, which meant she saw my room which is awful. My bathroom wasn't very pretty, either. She didn't complain or stare with her jaw dropped, she just cleaned. She said something about having one room done at a time which I tried to copy by doing the kitchen but I had so many piles of clutter I kept getting distracted. It takes all kinds, I guess.
Anyway, my time draws ever closer...trying not to think about the surgery or after effects... I do remember one thing: my old doctor would tell me really scary gross things, like, "Okay, Heather, we're making the incision now..." that would for some reason, probably nerves, gave me the worst mental images so I told him I didn't want to know... but it was always exciting to hear him say "here she comes" and then hearing the baby cry for the first time. Then it was hard to lay there for the 30 minutes after that it took them to stitch me back up. Not like I could move, but I think something is programmed inside for the baby to be the end result, not the beginning. I don't know...I was just always ready to get off the table and go see my new little one.

horomones -- gotta love em
I have been really emotional these past few days.
I don't know why but I can sit and cry or laugh, I've been getting mad really easily and then getting over it.
There is a difference in the getting over it part, though. For girls, when its not the special time of the month, its your basic getting mad, when it is that time, you fell the rage and something has to be done to lift it or you can be mad for days. Its weird, i know.
Anyway, so... thats how I'm feeling with 4 days to go: weepy, excited, and in some sort of disbelief that it is actually so close.
I'm doing laundry and I saw my neighbor who just had a little girl two weeks or so ago, and I can't believe I will have one of my own to carry around in just a few days. Her older child is 15 months and she says her little sisters name almost in a sneeze, which I just love.
I'm watching Bye Bye Birdie. I cannot tell you the memories this brings back. Too many to name. My best friend when I was three years old and beyond used to have this movie and we watched it all the time at her house. She lived on a street called Windsor place which was perfect for me to remember because I loved Winnie the Pooh when I was growing up. She had stairs and we would put our pajamas on and slide down them on our stomachs. Her older sister was the the same age as my sister so we would go over there together almost every weekend. They also had a pantry that was full of good food. We never had a pantry or stairs until I was 13 and had stopped caring about such things.
My neighbor is going to help me clean on Tuesday so right now I feel under a major deadline to get it done so she doesn't see how messy my place usually is! But realistically I won't be able to get it done but its a process and I'm glad she is willing to help.

8 days to go...
I keep having baby dreams but I never have a girl or if I know I did just have a girl, for some reason i can't see her face.
Its really weird to think I will have a baby in just a few days. I wonder what she will look like and who she will act like, but most of all I can't wait to hold her and smell her and kiss her.
Last night was the first night back at sem wives. I enjoyed seeing all the ladies in my group again. One in particular has become a friend. She is really nice and soft spoken which is not like most of my usual friends. :) The message was a little hard to listen to because it was about budgeting and I had a little girl inside my lungs, but its useful info and I did manage to lean forward enough to take notes.
I've been slowly getting a cold all week and i think its because of all the dust I've been stirring up while cleaning. I've touched places that haven't been touched in months. Still have tons of laundry but I'm trying to do everything else and then next week just one or two trips to the laundry mat around the corner will finish it up.
I need to pack my bag, make the baby's bed, and organize all her stuff I have washed also.
The cleaning never ends.
I am so glad I decided to take two weeks off before she comes instead of just one. I can tell it is getting closer to time for her to come and its not very comfortable. i have way too much to do to take a day off, though.

if I had $100...and some other stuff...
First things first...
This new years eve was really nice. Totally different than years past in that Shaun and I were actually awake together to ring in 2009 instead of groggily waking up to fireworks and clumsily giving each other a peck on the face somewhere and back off to dreamland.
He made me some dip with guacamole and sour cream and stuff like that which was really really good and worth getting up in the middle of the night for.
So, overall, I say it was a good night.
This week is my last week of work until sometime in April. I haven't seen next weeks schedule but I'm going to raise some poop if I'm on it lol. :) For some reason I still have 5 days while almost everyone else has 2 or 3. Sigh. But I still have a lot of stuff to get which brings me to the title of my post...
Lets see... one of my bosses gave me some really nice baby stuff. (I have to go off topic and say that I told my mom and sister about it, raved about it to Shaun and my co workers, then when I went back to work after having Wednesday off I didn't say a word to the person who gave it to me about it. I'm getting old and forgetful lol) He gave me a high chair, a bathtub, a play chair for when she gets older, and a baby gate.
So, my list is down to: a mobile, a swing, a boppy pillow, and some other things that I would write except no female reads it but me. So, I need about 100 bucks and some patience to wait until next payday when I might just have it.
My mom might be coming to help out the week after the baby is born. Too bad she can't be there that day, because we still have no idea what to do with our other kids. If anything, maybe they can wait in the hallway while Shaun is in the o.r. with me then after she is born he can rush out to be with them and see what they have gotten in to. Doesn't sound like a good plan to me.
The hardest part in my mind is that I will be physically unable to do anything with them for 24 hours. I will have to stay in bed and thats where I should be for that time, not having to worry with where the other kids are.
She won't come the day of because she doesn't want to leave my brother alone for 24 hours, and my dad will be out of town until Friday night, so we will see what happens. I've hinted too all my friends how great it would be if someone would keep even one of them, but no one has gotten it so far. I can't really blame people that work at night and have kids to not want to take on an extra, though. Its a lot different when they are not your own.
Anyway, other than that Friday everything seems to be shaping up. I just exhausted myself doing housework, which led me to blog and take a break, and I'm feeling less overwhelmed with everything that needs to be done. I'm almost to the point that I don't care what is clean or not, I just want her here. (also, watching "how clean is your house" gives me lots of confidence that my place has never been THAT bad! everything you see is a new mess and my carpet and kitchen are always clean or in the process of being so)
This has not been Sage's weekend. I took them outside yesterday to play, since we have been houselocked since Wednesday, and that lasted about 15 minutes. She decided that she wanted something to "run around with" which I told her they are not allowed to have their scooters or bikes outside (apartment managers rule, not mine) and she said okay and right then I knew she was going to get something I was not willing to let her play with.
Well, she came down the stairs with this dump truck of Jakes that has handles on either side of the dump part. She wanted to run behind it. I said, trying to be nice, "I wish you would not bring that down the stairs, you are not allowed to run behind it because you will fall" Well, she didn't stop walking down the stairs for half a second, she just kept coming saying she would not fall and we kept going back and forth like that.
She got to the bottom of the stairs and I said she would have to take it back up which she also argued with, leading Mycah to take it back up for her. Then Sage moped. I told her to play but she wouldn't do it, then I told her to go upstairs and she started her incredibly loud cry that I said she was going to get spanked for... Back up a few minutes to Shaun joking when he left that he had locked the door, which Mycah heard and didn't understand that it was a joke, which now lead to Jake driving as slow as he could in his police car, and the girls standing outside our door with Sage doing her loud cry and me about to bust some brain cells in my head as to why i ever had to blasted idea of taking them outside in the first place.
So, we got inside finally and I spanked Sage and sent her to bed even though it was only about 4:30 or so. I didn't care if she went to sleep or just laid there but she was not to come within 10 feet of me.
She did straighten up long enough for me to give her a bath and get the knots completely out of one side of her hair, which was like 30 minutes of work. We ended up cutting out one part that the comb fingers could not penetrate, but its on the inside so no one will ever know.
This morning, she wanted to brush her own hair, which I said no because the regular brush will pull the knots into one awful knot and I was not willing to go through that, so then our trouble started. I ended up yelling at her to either brush her hair or teeth and she just stood there basically, which I could have knocked her off her little stool but I was able to control myself. Then she wouldn't go to the car for church or get out once we got there. Jake has been begging to play at McDonalds so Shaun said we could go. Sage was fine when we got there but didn't want to leave so we made her walk barefoot to the car (she had taken her shoes off to play on the play center) then she wouldn't get out when we got home. Its the weirdest thing how we can pull up, all unbuckle and get out, then leave it to her to get mad that we tell her to get out of the car because she has continued to sit while we are halfway to our destination.
Anyway, so she took a short nap and seems to be okay, although she still has that air about her of an attitude that I don't want to stir up. Luckily, she goes back to school tomorrow and I'll get a few hours peace.

in five short weeks...
I'll know how you look. Your smell will be so familiar and you will have had a million kisses.
Your picture is on our freezer and every time I see your little cheeks and the top of your head I can't wait to snuggle with you for the first time and get to know my little baby girl.
Your big brother talks about you all the time. He loves to look at your sonogram pictures and ask when you will be out of my tummy. He has certain cars he is willing to share with you and he even said you can ride the honking car.
We are all preparing for you. It seems like a lifetime before you are here but time is flying by also and it seems like we are running out of time.
I love you, my little baby girl, even though I haven't even met you yet.
I'll miss having you inside me. Lately you have been coming out one side when I lay down, while kicking my hip bone on the other side. You like to move your hand or foot across my belly button, sometimes with a lot of force, but mommy doesn't mind. I think you like us being up all night because thats when you move the most. When your Daddy is around and talking you like to kick sporadically almost like you're trying to get his attention.
You have a very excited family, all waiting for you.
Hurry up and pass the next five weeks!!!

cutting the strings
Tomorrow I am going to church alone. I get to go to the new place to hear their pastor speak. I cannot describe how good it feels to be free of the old one. Every time I think of having to go back there I feel the anger coming on.
So, anyway. My mom is going to kill me. She sent me some stuff from the motherhood maternity store and I exchanged it. She always thinks I need a night gown and I hate them. I cannot sleep with that thing wrapped around me, so I took it back and got some stuff I need.
I don't mean to be ungrateful, but I always have to have a system and truthfully, I don't want any gifts because I have a list in my head of things I need and things I don't need or want and I'm just so overwhelmed with it all I don't have room up there for other things.
I know, I'm selfish and rude. :(
Today I shoved a fork up my thumbnail and it still hurts like crazy. I was so annoyed because I was trying to unload the dishwasher and I was so distracted by the kids that I wasn't paying attention and of course they didn't care that I was hurt they just followed me into the bathroom asking for more food and it just drove me crazy. I'm going to go insane when the girls are out of school for two weeks!!
So all we have left is Christmas, then I only have two weeks of work then two weeks before my baby girl is here. I was awake for a little bit last night and she was moving all around so I was rubbing my belly. I think I can feel her elbows and knees sometimes, theres just a little corner that separates into two parts inside me and sometimes she will be still when I'm rubbing where she is and it feels like we're already bonding.
I'm getting really excited for her to come, almost moreso than for Christmas.
Tonight I have been cooking dinner for an hour, and I'm ready to be done!! I made lemon chicken and corn, with baked apples and sponge cake for dessert.
I used to make the cake all the time when we were first married, and I loved it. I'm excited for it to be done tonight.
Besides that, I washed 5 loads of clothes so we have stuff to wear for the cold week ahead. I'm excited for the colder weather, finally!!

first blog of December
Yesterday, my Christmas shopping began. What an exciting time!
I usually shop online but the stores with free shipping were out of everything I knew I wanted so I had to get out of the house for a while.
Here's the rundown: I went to toys r us and got jake the speed racer helmet and steering wheel that make noise, and let see, oh a mach 6 with a movie scene inside this little view finder thing, and a double pack of the mach 5 and racer x cars, a sponge bob bath set, and a speed racer light up poncho, and I think that might be it, besides the video game which I think I already mentioned previously.
Sage got a dish set, glow station, drawing pad with colored pencils and paint brushes with paint inside, socks with the individual toes, since I lost my (old) ones as soon as she found them... and one of those bath sets with the soap and stuff. Thats all I remember right now...
I got Mycah two Junie B books, dishes, Hannah Montana brush set, the same paint brushes as Sage but a different coloring book, a Hannah Montana dress up set, Prince Caspian (movie) and something else I can't remember right now lol.
I figured since I was given the opportunity to shop I might as well get some things for #4, so I got her an outfit, a sheet and blanket set that is the tiddlywinks ladybug theme, some soap diapers and wipes.
So I spent about 10 total hours walking around Target Friday, including work the night before.
I have ot say that I was not looking forward to Thursday night at work, I thought about calling out so many times but since I missed a day last week, I couldn't do it. The night turned out fine, even though it was someone I usually don't get along with mixed with two trucks. I was proud of myself that night because although I was in stationery until about 7:15 or so, it only took me about 4 hours to push it all. It was one of those nights where the repacks kept coming so I had very little time to start pushing, I remembered from my last mistake and got two pallets for backstock, and by the time my offsite came and I sorted out all the sporting goods from my repacks (urrgh) and the few boxes of Christmas, it was break time. Then I put the backstock I did manage to get during the truck unload on a pallet and did half a cart of pens and it was lunch, so by the time I got started it was almost 5 and I was done about two hours later.
About 6, Karli was ready to go. I had this bump right under my rib cage that was her bootie I guess, but she was sticking out in such a way that I couldn't bend forward, so when I was driving if I was going to turn right, like at my exit, it was near impossible to lean forward to see around the car that was waiting to turn left. Boy oh boy. But, I have less than 50 days now. I can't believe it. I'm fine with the idea of leaving work for a while, my brain is wrapped around that just fine, but as far as having a baby in the house...nope, not processing.
The whole pregnancy thing seems a little routine and normal, but I am going to have a major kind of thing going on when I can't move for two weeks (basically) and I'll be woken up every few hours to feed someone.
I'm totally looking forward to it, though.
So now for parent teacher conferences:
Sage's went fine. She is a perfectionist and over achiever, which we already knew. The teacher didn't use those words, but I live with her, so take it from me. :) She had 2s, 3s and 4s on everything on her report card.
Mycah had all 1s and 2s. Not so good but I was expecting it. She will never be a perfect student, but thats okay with me.
I don't have a solid stance on education, really. I think some people get it and some don't. Everyone has their own purpose in life and she will do something else great with her life besides making As on her tests.
I was a combination of them two. Well, like Sage I'm still pretty anal about things. One example for her is that she always says "name, color, cut, paste" before she starts her homework, and once she forgot her name and you would have thought the world was about to explode.
But, I never made really good grades. i was always average and never cared to be on the honor rolls or anything of that sort. It seemed to be a lot of work and I wasn't that motivated.
So thats our family update...and now Armando is on...
I usually shop online but the stores with free shipping were out of everything I knew I wanted so I had to get out of the house for a while.
Here's the rundown: I went to toys r us and got jake the speed racer helmet and steering wheel that make noise, and let see, oh a mach 6 with a movie scene inside this little view finder thing, and a double pack of the mach 5 and racer x cars, a sponge bob bath set, and a speed racer light up poncho, and I think that might be it, besides the video game which I think I already mentioned previously.
Sage got a dish set, glow station, drawing pad with colored pencils and paint brushes with paint inside, socks with the individual toes, since I lost my (old) ones as soon as she found them... and one of those bath sets with the soap and stuff. Thats all I remember right now...
I got Mycah two Junie B books, dishes, Hannah Montana brush set, the same paint brushes as Sage but a different coloring book, a Hannah Montana dress up set, Prince Caspian (movie) and something else I can't remember right now lol.
I figured since I was given the opportunity to shop I might as well get some things for #4, so I got her an outfit, a sheet and blanket set that is the tiddlywinks ladybug theme, some soap diapers and wipes.
So I spent about 10 total hours walking around Target Friday, including work the night before.
I have ot say that I was not looking forward to Thursday night at work, I thought about calling out so many times but since I missed a day last week, I couldn't do it. The night turned out fine, even though it was someone I usually don't get along with mixed with two trucks. I was proud of myself that night because although I was in stationery until about 7:15 or so, it only took me about 4 hours to push it all. It was one of those nights where the repacks kept coming so I had very little time to start pushing, I remembered from my last mistake and got two pallets for backstock, and by the time my offsite came and I sorted out all the sporting goods from my repacks (urrgh) and the few boxes of Christmas, it was break time. Then I put the backstock I did manage to get during the truck unload on a pallet and did half a cart of pens and it was lunch, so by the time I got started it was almost 5 and I was done about two hours later.
About 6, Karli was ready to go. I had this bump right under my rib cage that was her bootie I guess, but she was sticking out in such a way that I couldn't bend forward, so when I was driving if I was going to turn right, like at my exit, it was near impossible to lean forward to see around the car that was waiting to turn left. Boy oh boy. But, I have less than 50 days now. I can't believe it. I'm fine with the idea of leaving work for a while, my brain is wrapped around that just fine, but as far as having a baby in the house...nope, not processing.
The whole pregnancy thing seems a little routine and normal, but I am going to have a major kind of thing going on when I can't move for two weeks (basically) and I'll be woken up every few hours to feed someone.
I'm totally looking forward to it, though.
So now for parent teacher conferences:
Sage's went fine. She is a perfectionist and over achiever, which we already knew. The teacher didn't use those words, but I live with her, so take it from me. :) She had 2s, 3s and 4s on everything on her report card.
Mycah had all 1s and 2s. Not so good but I was expecting it. She will never be a perfect student, but thats okay with me.
