"No sense in waiting and seeing what doesn't fit"
Share This Post >> |
Vance is predicting that Baby Girl will be here on Thursday. Fine by me. It has to be soon because my clothes aren't fitting like they should be and no one wants to see Big Pregnant Belly sticking out of the bottom of my shirt. Also, the past 2 weeks of growth have been a Stretch Mark Nightmare. A new line seems to appear everyday and, well, stretch marks aren't exactly what you want a lot of.

I'm Still Pregnant - 38 Weeks

Thursday, April 24, 2008
Just a note to let it be known that I tried to post this morning. I had a story in mind, but Vance has a new habit of waking up at the crack of dawn. It's hard to formulate coherent sentences with all the questions being asked around here. Yes, he's still doing that. All day long. It's easy to be annoyed by the constant question asking and many times throughout the day I feel like an ass because I've gotten snippy with an almost 3 year old who just wants to tell me things like, "Dogs have whiskers".

Weekend Update!
Despite being a crappy day weather wise, Saturday we got a lot done. Justin and Vance went in one direction to pick up Justin's new pants and my mom and I went in another direction to do errands and finish up baby related odds and ends. Here's some of what we got:
- Baby book
- Vance's Big Brother gift
- A few birthday gifts for friends
- Bibs, burp cloths, etc.
- Uber girlie music crib thing
- Coming Home outfit (harder to find than one would think)

My mom and I made progress in the baby's room yesterday. Hopefully I can finish up today.

My Jerry Maguire Moment
Because you deserve all the details, I'm dilated to 1 cm. and am 60% effaced. My doctor thinks Miss Barcelona will be here before her due date. Actually, the first thing he said was, "You could have this baby next week".

Today is the Realtor Open House at our house. It's exciting because hopefully this will bring more interested people through the house, obviously.

Weekend Update!
Not too much happened over the weekend. Every weekend update starts that way. Maybe ending the sentence with an exclamation point would help them sound not so boring. Let's try again.
- My mom brought home a new container of Nutella, which was totally not necessary. I've been dipping into it all weekend. Love it.
- We went shopping on Sunday. Bought Rosie B. a pink chamois changing pad cover from PB. So soft.
- Justin needed new work pants, which was reason for the shopping trip in the first place. Side story: We've been shopping at this store for a long time and every time we go we somehow wind up with the same saleslady. She was on top of her game yesterday. Complimented my mom on her hair, directed me to the comfy chair, offered drinks while waiting. They always give out little bottles of water but today she had beer to offer, but no bottle opener. A cruel move for this crowd. Alcohol would have made pant shopping a little less painful. Her tactics worked. He found 4 pairs and a shirt. He also scored the sales lady's cell phone number while my mom and I left to grab a table for lunch. You know, for those emergency situations where one would NEED A PAIR OF PANTS RIGHT NOW! DO YOU HAVE MY SIZE? I NEED TO KNOW!
- Justin and Vance put together the rocking chair for Rosie's room. It's no good. Not comfy at all. Doesn't even rock. I've been wronged by IKEA. Will send it back.
- Did some other work in the baby's room. Will continue today and post some pictures when it's done.
- Had the first Open House yesterday. Have not heard from our Realtor, so I'm guessing no sale yet.
- Am anxious to get more items up at Etsy to sell. The blank space on the sidebar is driving me nuts.

Vance's Newest Obsession

We're Here
Since the last update, we have packed 3 car loads of "necessities" and relocated. We arrived here safely on Wednesday afternoon and still feels like we're just here for a visit. Vance is thoroughly confused and has asked a few times to go back to his house. We've been trying to get settled for the past couple of days and hopefully by the weekend we'll be done.

I've ordered a print for Baby Girl's room. You can see it here.

I've been sentenced to nothing but sweatsuit-style pants this pregnancy. I'm carrying this baby differently, so differently than I carried Vance. The baby is sitting high, therefore the bottom of my stomach is a downward slope. I've also been blessed with the figure of a 13 year old boy, so I have no hips or butt to keep my pants up. It's too late in the game to buy new pants even if I found some, so I'll keep on with the track pants and tennis shoes for these last 5 weeks.

Hot Sundae
I think it's crazy that Jesse Spano (Elizabeth Berkley) keeps popping up everywhere. Last night I saw her on an episode of CSI. It bugged me that she went one hole minute without blinking. She's also going to be hosting the dance-reality show for the Bravo network. It hugely annoys me that on the commercials for that show her ending pose includes Pointy Fingers. (You'd have to see the commercial to appreciate how awful it is.) I don't even think Zack Morris, the manager of Hot Sundae, would let that move fly.
