Getting excited about my holiday....Halloween!!!
this year Chris says I can actually build my graveyard and spook my trees and bushes...My daughter is into it totally as well, she's planning out how to put together a dead body that we can have **half buried** in the yard ( you know night of the living dead style but she wants to be the one laying there to scare the living bejeezus out of anyone that comes too close...shes so creative!!!) so i figure i have a little over a month to get it all in…

I will spend time doing something for MYSELF every day even if its only doing my hair and makeup in the morning...
I WILL tell my husband that his little construction project will be fi…

pretty much sums up what i have been dealing with for the last 6 or more weeks. Yeah i would assume that its post partum...but i think alot of it is that i just am having issues with NOT working and having my own money to do what i want with, and the fact that my time is now totally taken up with managing the baby and trying to get my home back in order. I was bed bound for the last part of my pregnancy and of coarse the house accumulated mucho bullshit that i am now having to shovel through...i…

Well as i said I am going to miss the NY screening...I have too much going on and i havent gone back to work since along time before the baby came....now the great debate is do I go back to school? or do i remain a research assistant in child development and human relations? (aka a house muffin)
My husband says stay home or go back to school he doesnt care, just as long as whatever i do pays for child care and makes enough to make it worth my while....
I am debating....to go back into the cosmet…

Thanks to everyone who wished me happy birthday...(Blu, Steph, Jenny....) I wish my husband had a clue....LOL
he remembered my birthday, but decided that since his family had planned for everyone to go to dinner on Saturday to celebrate my birthday, my SIL's anniversary, and the other Birthday ( these all happen on the same day mind you...) that he could actually ditch out on me and go out with his buddies last night. Which he did. Left me sitting at home with the kids. No present, No flowers,…

Cupcake ( or Genevieve) is doing great, shes gained more then 2 lbs since she came home from the hospital and shes grown an inch. so shes 9 lbs 11 oz now and 22 inches long. the Dr. says shes coming along nicely.
We had her baptised yesterday (sunday the 22nd) and then last night we had a big family BBQ to celebrate. It was nice to see people we hadnt seen in a while.
thats all my news, i am still having a few health issues but they are getting better slowly. the girls are out of school and loo…

Well I am home, I am finally moving around with some relative ease and minimal
discomfort. YAY!!
The delivery went quickly in comparison to the entire pregnancy, but the following day I had to have more surgery to correct some issues that the Dr. felt needed to be done right away before they caused me major issues, and I am still battling with edema from high blood pressure, which i am now taking meds for and they seem to be helping. In all, my stay in the hospital was relatively enjoyable exce…

I am correcting this...i went to the doc today and I am going in on thursday to deliver my baby...but I am leaving the rest of this post as i originally wrote it...rambling and all....
I CANNOT wait, this last 4 days has been nothing but pain and tears for me.
thursday was the start of it, i had grocery shopping to do, and i had errands to run so things could get done for the family ( you know those mundane but very neccessary things like laundry, cooking, dishes...)
so i was on my feet way to…

well yes the countdown has begun...11 more days until baby comes.
heart burn and high blood pressure i am learning to live with on an ongoing basis.
I know it will all change as soon as the baby comes but until then i am just learning to deal
with it.
Had a Doc appointment today, everything was okay but my blood pressure was phenominally high for me (160 over 95 my norm is 115 over 70)
and i had heart burn so bad all day i felt like i had swallowed hydrocloric acid and NOTHING got rid of it.
i a…

well today at my doc visit we set a definite delivery date...May 16th....
and that is a pretty important date (ask Blu)
Barring me going in to labor prior to that date or any other life threatening issues
(which I dont foresee happening...i appear to be as healthy as a non smoking, non drinking woman of half my age)
thats the date I am waiting for...
She (the Doc) did tell me that she wants me to take it extremely easy for the next 3 and a half weeks...no lifting,
no carrying things around, use…

well i went to see my specialist this morning. She's awesome!!
She went over my records with me, asked me tons of questions,
checked the baby's heart beat (142 beats a minute)
then she reassured me that we are going to try and carry to 39 weeks
well since i am at 33 and a half weeks now, that means sometime between
May 10th and May 17th. Barring any complications....
However, she did tell me that should ANY complications arise I will
deliver sooner....
YAY!!!
In all actuality, i could have this…

well heres the newest...Chris bought me a new laptop and docking station...my old computer monitor died and while i was just hoping to replace that with something bigger and better that actually worked, Chris decided that my old computer although only 4 years old, was too slow and needed replacing, so off to Best Buy we went...
while we were there, he decided he needed new speakers for his car and because they had a deal if you bought one pair the second pair was half price he got a pair for my…

the girls have decided that although they would like to go to the second level auditions for Proscouts, that because of the timing of the baby coming and the cost involved, its going to wait until later.
My oldest is worried that with the intensive high school educational program shes enrolled in that she wont have time or energy to devote to that and continue to do a great job with her schooling, and High School is the time when she knows she really has to apply herself and do very well for col…
