Good Morning Saturday Insomniacs!!!!

Hi! It's about 4:30a.m., and I have been up since 3:30a.m. (with a poopy son:confused:). It always happens around that time (the poopy son), and then I can't go back to sleep:mad:. I don't know about this poop...is it b/c he found something new to control???? He's perfectly fine during the day. Oh, well:(.

Jen M-I want some fudge (NOW):)! Your mom sounds awesome. Already planning so much for your shower. Your feelings about being closer (distance-wise) are perfectly normal, especially now. My mom is only one hour away, and I miss her a lot. But, the missing her feelings come especially strong when I am pregnant. I don't even know if I will see her before I have the baby. I want to go with DH today to our hometown (he has his fantasy fb draft), but the last long ride I took in the car was dreadful with back spasms, etc.:confused:. I am officially done with long car rides as of 2 weeks ago.

Trish-How are you? Did you call the dr? That is scary. My BH's are getting very painful now (for the past few weeks), and they feel so much like "real" contractions that I always look at the clock when they start. I mentioned it to the midwife I saw at the last visit, and she said that as long as there is no pattern to them, and they don't last for long, not to worry about them. I would never go to Hershey Park alone for that reason. My friend is going with me. Yes, they do have a new water park, but I don't think I am up for that today. I am more in the mood for kiddie rides (the ones I put DS on and wave;)).

Stephanie-Are we on the same hormone wavelength? I think so after reading your "episode" with DH lastnight. Here's mine...lastnight I wanted to know DH's plans for today. Is he going to come back tonight, or is he going to stay at his brother's and come back tomorrow. I told him that I wanted him back tonight so I can have some help with DS. But, then I told him that if he is tired, not to even attempt to come back (an hour away on the interstate) b/c I am afraid that he will get into a car accident and be really hurt or die:confused:. I also went on to tell him my plan if I go into labor (bring DS to neighbor's and call myself an ambulance, have the c/s with no family members here....:().

So, he said that he will probably come back early tomorrow morning, then I went on about how I really want him back tonight, etc. I was extremely irrational, but he was very patient. In reality, if he would come back tonight, DS would already be in bed, so I wouldn't even get any help. And, that's o.k. too b/c DH rarely does anything outside of the house either. I was just overcome by those raging pregnancy hormones (insert devil smiley here). I am actually looking forward to some alone time, but I feel like such an idiot for the way I acted-that's not like me at all!

Kate-I want a hot tub. You lucky girl!!! I would be in it right now if I had one. I think you sent the rain my way, so I will try my hardest to send it to Stephanie.

Mikkia-How did your neighbor make out?

I feel the need for a bowl of cereal, so I am off. Usually, I am on the internet for a while, then I eat a small bowl of cereal, then back to bed. It's so strange! With DS #1, I watched court TV, then had cereal, then back to bed.

Stephanie-My DS is 3. I forgot to answer that ?

Jen #2-I believe I had food poisoning or a stomach virus at shower. I forgot to answer your ? too. A lot of my guests came down with the same thing either that same weekend or later that next week. My mom and I think it was my cousin's chocolate cheesecake that she brought from NYC:confused:. I helped myself to that more than I would have liked.
 
JenM - Your fudge sounds yummy - but I have ZERO portion control!:eek:

Stephanie, Sorry for the breakdown. My emotions are feeling very pregnant too. I had a total rant (contolled though) y'day about some issues to DH. NOt mad at him, just needed to vent to someone and he was around!:D I didn't know you were into ballet - how cool! How long have you been doing that? I would love to get into gymnastics! In my previous life I was in the Olympics. In this life I can't even do a cartwheel! But I can somersault!;):D And LOL that I'm a bad rain dancer!:D Mike thought it was pretty sexy!;):D:eek:

JenP - Sorry for the insomnia. And the poopy boy! If its any consolation Isabel was in our bed all night with a sore throat/snotty nose/coughing. And I had been sleeping so good!:( Sorry for your hormones too! They must be contagious around here!;) I think we all need a massage!:D TV and a bowl of cereal sounds great! What kind of cereal? My current box is shredded wheat, tho I'd really like some Count Chocula!:D

-----
No big plans here today. Made a big b'fast for the fam - I had shredded wheat. I passed up homemade waffles! What was I thinking?!:eek: I did have a few bites of Isabel's but I really wanted a whole big one!:mad:
 
Hi ladies!

Jen1--That's funny about the pregnancy hormonal rants. Glad to know that I'm not the only one. I also was worried about DH coming back late/tired. I was really worried that I'd go into labor and no one would be here for me, and he'd drive too fast to get here and wreck. SUCH a worrywart. I hope that you have a nice evening though. Maybe DS will not have any poop problems tonight.

Kate--You passed up waffles!??? I made chocolate chip waffles last weekend and ate more than anyone else. That's why I've gained 45 pounds and you've gained 18 :confused:. As for ballet, I did ballet for about 12 years growing up (age 3 to 16 with one year off). I picked it back up last year when I met a mommy in Oliver's class who was a professional ballerina for years and taught at the local arts center. I really loved it and learned more than I did in my entire previous 12 years. I recently ran into my teacher at Oliver's school and told her that I'm aiming to join the class again in a year. GOT TO get back into shape first, though because the girls/guy in the class are all ex-professional dancers (with one or two exceptions), and they are TINY. I mean teensy tiny. My size 8 frame dwarfed them when I took ballet with them. ANYWAY...

Today has been totally lazy. It's 3 pm and we ALL are in our pjs. It's a "pajama day." I did manage to put on a bra today though :p. We may go to Chuck E Cheese tonight with my sister and her family, so guess I should run a brush through my hair and apply deodorant. (sigh). Or maybe we'll go tomorrow instead :p. Hope everyone has a great day!!
 
Hi Everyone :)
I hope you are having a good saturday. My husband just left for work and its pouring rain :( So its just me and the dogs..as usual.

I slept in until 1130 today. Thats 2 days in a row of sleeping in. guess i need it. I didnt get to bed until 2am last nite which is unlike me.

I woke up and did Amy Bento's Hi/Lo Cardio Knockout. I love that workout. Its over an hour so its long but I sweat buckets and its a lot of fun. Then i did upper body weights. My arm is feeling good so hopefully its all healed.

I hope you are all having a great weekend!
 
Hi,
DS and I went to Hershey Park this morning with my friend and her two girls. We stayed until about 2:00p.m., when the kids were ready for naps (and letting us know it):confused:. At least we got out, and I got to walk (a lot). At one point, I was having contractions every few minutes (it was so hot, and I just got done walking up a hill). I just sat down, had some ice cream, and they went away (thank God). I really don't think they were anything serious, though. I did not get any more since. The baby is moving a lot, though.

DH now officially has the runs:(, so he won't be coming back till tomorrow morning. I really hope I don't get whatever this is that is causing them, or I will be :mad:. I don't need that right now.

Stephanie-it sounds like you had a really relaxing day. Did you go to CEC?

Jen M-Enjoy your night.

Kate-Your post on the Open Discussion cracked me up.

Trish-How are you? Any more contractions?

I am off to give DS a bath and put him to bed.
-Jen
 
Stephanie, Now, if I had made cc waffles I would NOT have resisted one bit! YUM - WOW! LOL at putting on a bra - I love the days where you don't have to! CEC on a Saturday?! Brave ladies!

JenM - Good for you for sleeping in! That must be what gave you all that energy for an awesome WO!

JenP - WalkMax at Hershey sounds great, but take it easy!:) Sitting with ice cream sounds like a great remedy!:p:D Sorry about DH - if it were me and MY pg hormones I'd be mad as a hornet. Hope he keeps it to himself! Whatcha doin' all by your lonesome tonight?

I have had such a productive day. All baby clothes thru 6 months are washed and put away. Feels so good!

Off to WO - cardio tongiht - I'm too sore for weights. Maybe Imax2 (modified, of course!)

Hey, we haven't heard from Morris in a while. Hope all is well. In fact, it's been UNUSUALLY quiet around here. Where is everybody?!?!
 
I did Imax2, minus 5 of the blasts. I forgot how much I love that one. Except it kind of bummed me out. I remember having "Rhonda-energy" for the jumping, etc and it was def. not there. :( I'm anxious to get my cardio capacity back. C'mon October!

DH has been asleep in his chair since immediately after dinner. I did all of bedtime for DDs by myself, which isn't entirely a big deal, but c'mon, buddy. Wake up and help out. Now I'll go clean up the dinner mess that was left all over so I can make them all breakfast in the morning. I am not so happy at that man right now. I should dump a glass of ice water on him.:mad: He talks about that I do too much but HE NEVER HELPS ME!!!!!! I am so tempted to go dump water on him.......
 
Aw kate, sorry you didnt get any help. Does you DH work hard and maybe he's tired from that? or does he just get lazy and become oblivious?
I feel like i do more work on a daily basis when it comes to the house and family type things. Not to say my husband doesnt work hard. I just always feel like i'm doing dishes, cooking, cleaning up, laundry, taking the dogs out, running the errands etc...

Try to refrain from dumping water on him...that wont have a good outcome :) Altho you might feel better for a second lol
 
Hi girls! Hope you are having a nice holiday weekend. I just wanted to let you know that I've only had a few off and on today contractions so I guess it was just overdoing it yesterday or something. I also notice my urine has a smell so maybe I am getting a bladder infection or UTI? I will call monday for sure to try to get seen since that is when our insurance kicks in. I had dh get some cranberry juice last night and I have been drinking lots of water. It really had me worried yesterday. Now we have this hurricane coming and I am worried about that too. If i am not on for a few days (supposed to hit Monday night or Tuesday) then that is why. We expect to lose power for sure.

Anyway..

Jen~glad you had a fun day at hershey. I am glad the contractions stopped! Maybe it was the heat/walking? I did walk yesterday AM and it was warm. that is when mine started. Sorry to hear everyone has the runs. : (

JenM~nothign wrong w/ sleeping in!! Sounds heavenly. I can't sleep much past 7 for some reason. Even when I can sleep longer I just wake up.

Stehpanie~chuck e cheese is SO fun!! Lucky you! I'd love to go! Of course I'd get stuck in the tubes at this point, but I used to get up there to go fetch DS and well it's so much fun I'd stay and play too! LOL

Kate~GREAT workout! I vote to dump the water on him!! Or better yet make a list of stuff you want him to do so you don't "do too much" then see what he says. LOL
