over cast is an understatement today, dang it's blah
BUT at least #2 put panties on of her own accord after her nap today...now if she'll just do what needs to be done to keep said panties clean and dry i would be one happy momma
i hope it's not an unrealistic desire...but i REALLY want #2 pt'd long before #3 gets here so that it won't be as big of a deal for her...i really would like a break from diapers...i haven't had one in over 4 yrs LOL
i did make a shopping score yesterday (for those of you that know me well...shopping and i don't really go hand in hand like most females and shopping...it's just not my thing)...i was able to get the girsl 4 kidbe shirts to share for $5 each...a total steal imo, i have the hardest time finding shirts that are long enough and these will fit them for a very long time, and it doesn't hurt that they're made well either!
my belly gets bigger everyday it seems, which is of course always a good sign...i've still not really felt the baby move, at least not that i've id'd as the baby...but they are a fast mover, last week at my mw appt when she did the doppler to check the heart rate for the baby, they kept moving like a little bullet out of the way so she kept having to hunt for it...we all got a laugh out of that LOL
i have an u/s appt this friday at 10 am to check the baby out and hopefully see if we're packin' a double x or if we've got a y going on in there this time around...i'm really hopin' for that y, but healthy is always what is most important!
i took myself off of my prevacid, the side effects of being on it were causing a situation where i wasn't really absorbing any of the nutrients from the food i was eating...i started slow, back down from twice a day to once a day for about 1/2 a wk...that went well so i decided to see if i could handle being off of it completely...no need to stay on meds if you don't really need to kwim?...well, all has been well since then (which i'm more than sure my lowered stress level has a huge amount to do with)...i am starting to have more energy as food is staying in my system longer now so that i can actually absorb the nutrients
i've not gained very much weight at all, BUT more important...i didn't loose this time like i did w/ #1 (20 lbs before i started to gain) and #2 (15 lbs before i started to gain) so while i was def sick this time around it wasn't as extreme, just the fatigue this time was the killer...i'm still dealing w/ fatigue, but it's sooooooo much better than it was before!!!
i must admit that i whole heartedly doubt my ability to parent 3 kids, the 2 i have are such a challenge at times that i don't think i can deal w/ them, let alone add another into the mix
although, i saw something the other day that basically said it all...ppl ask me often how i do the "single parent" thing as much as i have to since hubby is gone for work so much and the following statement i think answers it nicely..."i don't think about it, i just do it"...it's not until i think about it from another's pov that i really think "oh, yeah, this really isn't an easy gig"...which i know it's not easy, but when you're in the middle of it, you just don't have time to think about that at all
totally ot, but the other day i was thinking about going home to visit my parents and i had the brief thought that while i was there i'd drop in and see one of my fav teachers turned friend...then i remember, she's been dead for several months now...it made me sad for her hubby because i know he must be so lonely...but she was ready to go, she was at peace with the fact that her life was ending...she'd battled breast cancer enough times that she was ready to let it win the last fight and leave her pain ravaged body behind...very few of you were blessed to know this woman, but she was an amazing person, teacher, friend...all around just amazing and i have been so blessed to have her in my life and have her influence in important places as it was...i only hope that my kids can have someone like this in their lives too...it's of course important to have ppl like this in our family, but ever so important to have them outside our family as well
well, the street of sesame is over...that means my time here is now cut off
