Full Term!

Today I am officially 37 weeks pregnant and Full Term! So now this baby can come anytime and won't technically be early.
Natalie was born at 38weeks 5 days...so if this baby follows suit she'll be born March 24....but she could come earlier.

I'm feeling really well, still sleeping pretty well, having contractions off and on but nothing time able or really strong. I'm excited to have my appointment on Tuesday to see if I've made any progress from my 36 week appt where I was not dilated at all but was soft.

Even crazier than being full term, is that we really aren't prepared for this kids arrival at all. By this time with Natalie we had the car seat in the car, hospital bag packed, clothes washed and put away etc etc...we were just waiting for her to get here. But this time, the newborn clothes are in piles in the girls room, the car seat is in pieces after being washed, the bassinet isn't set up...nothing. I feel a bit guilty at my lack of preparation for this child...but I keep justifying it by saying I can get it all done before I go to the hospital and babies don't' need much...which may be true....but I still feel bad.

At any rate, I did finally buy some diapers so at least this kid won't just be peeing and pooping on herself...so I consider that an achievement.

A fun filled day in the ER

On Friday morning I come around the corner to see Natalie with my purse open and a bottle of Tylenol (adult 325 mg tablets) open and all the Tylenol all over the floor. She had opened a cabinet climbed up the shelves and pulled my purse down, and got the bottle open all within like 1 minute. Honestly I have NO idea how she got the bottle open since I can rarely open those bottles...but whatever.
So called poison control while Dan cleaned up the pills and they said that 6 or more could be fatal, I was pretty confident that she hadn't eaten any but since 18 were gone from the bottle and I had no idea how many I had taken in the months that I've had the bottle, to be safe we went to the ER. They did a blood draw, made her drink charcoal, and then another blood draw only to determine that she didn't eat any. So 5 hours of torture later we got to go home. Needless to say I felt like a shitty mom, and have found a new resting place for my purse. The cabinets that she got into are the towel cabinets so we don't have locks on them since she likes to get "blankets" (aka towels) out for her babies...but Dan was putting child locks on those cabinets today too.

35/35

That's right I am 35 weeks pregnant and have 35 days left until my due date....holy crap where did the time go.

We still have LOTS to do before this baby gets here...mostly laundry and organization...but if that doesn't get done oh well.

Here's a pic from today for you all to enjoy....please ignore the crazy look on my face and the streaky mirror.

What do you think?

I found a picture of me pregnant with Natalie wearing the same shirt I was wearing last week in my oh so amazing bathroom photo shot.

People keep asking me if I think I'm bigger this time...I have no idea so I leave it to you blog world.

Here I am at 33weeks 6days pregnant with baby #2

And here I am at 37weeks 5days with Natalie.

You be the judge.

I know it's a difference of like 3 week and that can make a HUGE difference...but I think I'm smaller this time than last time.

Cuteness from Natalie...

My kid has been cracking me up lately...of course I think everything she does is funny, but I'm a bit biased.





Her latest demand has been to "nuggle" she treats this like her get out of jail free card. When it's bedtime she asks to "nuggle on couch" to put off going to bed, when she's in trouble she says "nuggle mama" like it will keep her from time out, and in the mornings she demands to "nuggle mommy bed" so she can climb all over us while watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.





She's also been really into the Olympics, I have to admit she liked the Xgames better...but the Olympics will do. She loves anything with jumping, and will stand in front of the TV yelling "go, go, jump, go wow!" and then she tries to jump...although her feet never leave the floor.





She has also become obsessed with wearing boots, she loves her rain boots and demanded to wear them every day for weeks...until I finally put them up in the closet...since she wanted to wear them without socks...gross! So now she wants to wear her ugg type boots.....and as proof here is a picture


This was on Saturday, she had just gotten out of the shower and wanted to wear her boots, I told her after lunch but she protested, climbed up on the bed herself and put both boots on...and on the right feet. She's a genius I tell you.

34 weeks

Here I am at 34 weeks (well I'll be 34 weeks tomorrow...but close enough) in the bathroom at work again...thank you iphone!
I'm still feeling pretty good, tired and sore but that is to be expected. Overall I've gained 1 lb (according to the scale and the OB...zero if you use my home scale...but who's counting) and am still getting sick about once a week.
Natalie has figured out that there is a baby in my tummy now, and she is obsessed with lifting my shirt and pointing to the baby....it's cute most of the time.
I'm feeling quite unprepared for this kid, with Natalie at this point we had the nursery done, clothes washed and hung, and had purchased all the necessities.
This time, I haven't even so much as gotten the baby clothes out of storage, I haven't bought anything, and the nursery is still Natalie's room...so it's not ready for the baby at all.
I plan to get some stuff done this weekend...although I've been saying that for weeks now...I'll just blame it on Dan since the baby stuff is up in the rafters and I can't get on a ladder.

Good times...

This morning was a normal day...Natalie didn't want to get out of bed, protested wearing jeans, demanded a blanket while in the car...same old stuff.
Until about 2 blocks from my house when I had the sudden uncontrollable need to throw up. Shit!
So I'm debating what to do, pull over, turn around, keep going, hold back the barf....decisions, decisions.
So the uncontrollable need became so bad that I had to pull over and throw up all over the side of the road. Awesome! Cars are driving by, I barely got my seat belt off and the door open...and there I am puking my guts out on the corner.
At 31 weeks I really didn't think this would be something I'd be dealing with...but such is life.
Oh and my kid finds throwing up hilarious, so this made her morning.
