fun sunday in the hospital.....

i have a problem with sitting still. i am always up and going...even at night when i should be 'resting' i find it awful to just sit and watch tv while i could be doing laundry, cleaning the playroom, organizing..anything! especially after the girls go to sleep and i can get it all done without stopping!

well all weekend i kept having contractions...mostly braxton hicks...but some were painful. they were coming every 4 minutes. so, called the doc and she wanted to run a few tests and make sure everything was a-ok. it was...mk's heartbeat was great, and the contractions weren't strong enough to induce labor (thank God).
so know i feel kinda bad about all the complaining i did in my last post. i will take all of that times a million to stay pregnant for 8 more weeks! keep little mk in your prayers + me too :)

dear bladder, you suck!

ok. so i am 29 weeks preg with mk. i am over it. ready to meet this little girl, i know she still needs time to cook, and in the words of juno 'get a little cuter'. and that is fine. but this being my 3rd pregnancy, it is taking a toll on my body, mind, and spirit! let me explain:

body:
 i have some crazy itchy rash on my legs...hurts like hell. nothing helps. so not only are my legs a lovely whitish/purple from no sun/tanning bed, they are covered in red itchy devil dots. barf.

back to the whitish/purple hue....it is so gross. i need sun in a bad way. i would lather myself in fake tanner, but i don't want to make the devil bumps worse.

bladder, i hate you....a lot. i literally had my keys in my hand going to walk out the door, and thought 'hmm..i should empty this thing', so i did. drove 1 mile to publix to get my now needed 325mg iron pills..wtf?! then all of a sudden...bam....had to pee. wait? what? i just peed like less than 6 minutes ago. bladder..go to effing hell.

mind:
my mind is going a zillion miles a minute..not like that is new...but usually it is focused on one thing. nope. not anymore. now it is my store, leaving my store when i have mk, my store surviving while i am in lala baby land, rv's, getting the hubs everything he needs for this weeks crisis with rv's, kids, summer camps (which suck ass in planning), my carb intake, making everyone happy, red devil bumps, going out of town...wouldn't this make you tired too?  but no. i am so exhausted when i go to bed...i can't sleep. at all. sigh.......

spirit:
hubs thinks i am crazy. crazy as shit. fine...maybe i am right now. i thought i had all this time in the world to get everything ready and prepared for mk. no..went to the doctor monday and i am measuring 2 weeks early. huh? so, is my baby huge or did you mis-calculate, doc? so will i have mk in late may? or when i get to my due date will i be 2 weeks 'late'? i don't get it..at all. whatev..i will cross that road later.

i just don't feel like myself sometimes. crying, itching, peeing.....ahh....lovely.

Saylor the Primate?

Ok, so after about 4 months of crazy up and down behavior from Miss Say Say, I downloaded Harvy Kemp's Happiest Toddler on the Block. He is the same genius behind Happiest Baby on the Block, which I did read when Maddy was born. So, I start reading the first chapter and laugh out loud when he refers to toddlers as 'Primates'..seriously? Ok, Harvey, I might see where you are going with this.
Saylor is so sweet and too cute for words, but she has a Temper like NO OTHER....AND she clings to my leg like a piece of Velcro..won't let me walk 2 feet with out falling in the floor crying because I didn't pick her up...like...how dare you go to the bathroom without taking me. I pray this book helps me with her...and it would be super nice if all this could transform in the next 12 weeks, because Marlee Kate will be here, and lets face it...don't want this new kid coming into the world thinking she lives with primates!
kthanksbye


yes...she is primate
