Two days overdue!

So Miss B was due on Friday! It is not Sunday night. Ugh! I hate to complain because I know she'll come once she's ready but mommy is ready now and I wish she would hurry up and come on out. The midwife says she sounds fine and is measuring just right so there is no rush but I wish I could rush her out. Not that I'm looking forward to not sleeping and long tired nights but my body is at the end of it's sharing stage and wishing it didn't have to anymore, lol! I wish not to vent too much so I'll end it here and hopefully pick back up in a few days with a wonderful birth story! Ciao!

Is that English?

Last night Matt and I are in bed! I'm reading and he's supposed to be going to sleep while waiting on daddy to transport him to his bed. Well I guess he had some things on his mind because he starts asking me about different people and I tell them they are all at their homes and I guess that suffices for him.

Well then he asked where his grammy was and I say she's at home. He asks where his grampy is and I say at home with grammy! Well I guess I wasn't clear on it because he said "what?" I say, at home with grammy. Again he asks "huh!" Well I must be mumbling since obviously I can't get through so I try a third time. And this time his response is "is that English?" What? Who is this kid? He gets it from us though because it's what we often ask him when we can't understand what he's saying. He's clear most of the time but there are those times when he doesn't enunciate the word quite the way we would say it and we have to ask several times until we figure it out.

Oh well, I guess he is listening to us! I will try to be clearer with my English next time, lol!

Track season

So, track season is upon us again! Theo has been working hard these past two weeks getting his high school kids together for their first track meet on next weekend (when Miss B is due!). It's so funny hearing the stories that he brings home everyday. This year it seems as if there is mostly all new people. Of course you always have a few that come back but being in a military community, the turnover rate is very high.

The first few days of recaps were hilarious as he told me about everyone who decided to come out and try. It would seem that only people who were really interested in running or other track events would come out but in the DODDS system, being on a sport team can give you clout or status or just give you something to do. And while you can't exactly cut them off of the team (again stupid DODDS), they are pretty much dead weight since they don't really qualify for any events.

I digress. There is a particular girl that came out this year that wore very, baggy skater jeans and skater tennis shoes! Are you kidding me? And wore them the whole week. You would've thought after the first day or two she would've gotten the clue that maybe I should wear something else that would allow me to move more freely but nope, the same thing.

But after yesterday, it seems as if they have weeded out the strong from the weak or at least those that have enough potential to make it. We'll see after next week what the outlook for the season will be. I'll keep you updated.

False alarm!

Such a tease! That's what my baby girl did to me last night. And no that's not a pic of me!

Yesterday evening, I begin to have contractions sporadically while making dinner. Pretty bad ones compared to what I've been getting now so my brain kinda went into rush mode. I still hadn't washed her clothes or blankets, still hadn't done the belly cast, still hadn't gotten the plastic sheet for the bed, etc. So as you can see, I was behind the times! After we finished dinner, I threw some things into the wash, did the belly cast and prayed that I could hold on until at least morning. By 11, they had died down so I breathed a sigh of relief!

And then, we went to bed. Nothing wrong with that however, we partook in some marriage fellowship if you know what I mean which started everything back up. I didn't worry about it but instead went on to sleep. Between midnight and 4, I had to get up 3 times to use the bathroom and to breathe in between contractions. Uh oh!! That 3rd time I got back in the bed I could not sleep because my brain was going 100 miles per hour and I was starving! I got up to finish washing and drying clothes all the while hoping my snack and some t.v. would stop things. It did, another sigh of relief!

However, I was a zombie at work this morning and had to go home for lunch to take a nap and recharge. Everything is washed and ready though. I'm going to get Theo to take some pictures tonight of my belly and pack my emergency get-to-the-hospital-quick bag. The plastic sheeting for the bed has been bought and now to wait again!
