Good morning! Today is Thursday and still no sign of our little one. That's okay though. Delores was born on her due date, a very punctual girl, so maybe this one will too.
Yesterday was interesting. Delores is still teething and she was not in a good mood. She pulled her 30 min nap again yesterday, but her second nap she slept for an hour and a half so I was very happy about that. I wasn't very tired and I kept my cool the best I could up until dinner time when I had to fix her three different things to finally get her to eat. Picky little girl. That is just frustrating because she is very impatient and demanding and getting dinner done while she is awake is very stressful. Last night I was watching teen mom 2 before I went to bed and I realized just how difficult she is. Those moms on there have it so easy and they don't even know it. Even the one with the twins. They are putting on makeup and doing their hair and talking on the phone all while their children are awake and right there with them. I have never made a phone call or attempted to try to put makeup on or do my hair while Delores was awake. She won't allow me to do anything that doesn't involve my complete attention on her. Yesterday she would throw a fit when I told her I was going to the bathroom and she had to walk to come in there with me. God forbid I make the girl use her legs. Sheesh, she is so spoiled. Maybe it's because she's the first for her generation in our family and people won't just put her down and let her act like a normal kid. Well now I'm paying for it cause I have a super clingy child who wants to be carried around every where with a newborn expected to arrive in 3 days who will HAVE to be carried around everywhere. Yay! not. I love how people just do whatever they want to do and don't think about the consequences of their actions on me, josh, and the new baby. They get to have fun and we get what's left.
Okay that's enough for my vent today. Speaking of today, I am going to try to go the the grocery store one last time before this baby gets here. Should be lots of fun. Again, being sarcastic. My mom is going to come help me today so at least I will get some relief. I hope to take me time and not stress myself out, but honestly it's Walmart and I'm gonna have to take Delores with me, and, as I've already stated, she will not be happy when I have to direct my attention to things other than her. I really need to have a more positive attitude today, but I just woke up kind of mad for some reason. I guess it'll get better. Delores is already up so I better go tend to her. 3 more days, hopefully!
Have a good Thursday!

what I'll miss about being pregnant...4 days to go!
Good morning! and it is an early morning here in the Lewis house. Delores got up hurting and wanting a bottle at 6:30 so I just stayed up. I hope this doesn't wear me out today, but I'm in a good mood so I'm staying hopeful.
Yesterday went pretty well with the exception of Delores's naps. She has been doing really well with her naps for a while. Two naps a day for at least an hour. Sometimes and hour and a half. Yesterday I don't know what happened. Her two naps were 30 minutes long a piece. This really threw me off. Normally this would be a whole lot more upsetting, but since I've cut down on the stuff I do around the house due to my ability to do it, it only bothered me because I wanted to rest. I have a rule though. She stays in bed during naps for an hour and she stays in bed in the morning until 8:00 even if she isn't sleeping. It doesn't hurt her and it teaches her to follow expectations.
My appointment went great. She said the baby was in perfect position, the head was low, I was measuring 39 cm so she should be around 8 pounds. Everything was good and she expects we will be having this baby this weekend or the first of the week. Woo hoo! I have not had any significant symptoms yet, but I am staying hopeful that we will have a new baby by Tuesday at the latest.
Some things I've been trying to think of to help me get through the last few days are what I'm going to miss about being pregnant. I'm gonna miss:
--feeling her move inside of me
--not having a period
--bigger boobs without leaking
--being able to sit food on top of my belly for my own personal serving tray
--getting to wear whatever I want w/o makeup and not feeling frumpy
--the little sleep I do get is still more than when I will be up nursing a newborn
--having an excuse not to do certain household chores
--most people say "getting to eat whatever I want," but I am actually more health conscious when I'm pregnant and don't allow myself a lot of junk, fast food, or sweets. I will miss my cravings though. A lot of times I am indifferent about what I eat, but actually having a craving for something makes it easier to decide what I will eat.
--being the only person who can take care of her right now. I love the help, but when she's still inside of me it is just me and her and no one can take my place.
Well we have 4 days to go, so I'm gonna go ahead and get this day started. Tomorrow I am suppose to have a chiropractor appointment but I don't think I am going to go. It just hurt way too bad and Amy said there is really no need unless I'm just in pain and need it. It should be a pretty normal and routine rest of the week until little one gets here. Have a good Wednesday!

silly old wives...5 more days
Good Morning! Yesterday was very tiring. I'm not exactly sure why except for that maybe it was just the pregnancy. My eye lids were so heavy all day. When Delores took her naps yesterday I just sat in the recliner with my eyes closed and couldn't get motivated to do anything. I did manage to do 2 loads of laundry and the dishes throughout the day, but I wasn't doing more than that. Josh was on call and didn't get home till about 7:30 so I had to put Delores to bed by myself for the first time in over a week and it was hard. I couldn't believe how much one week could make a difference. In fact I can't believe how a couple of days can make such a difference. Yesterday I could barely carry Delores or hold her without being in pain. That is the first time this pregnancy that I've had that problem. Thank God I made it this long without that problem though. I was so tired yesterday that I tried to put Delores to bed about 20 minutes early. That didn't really work. She just cried in her bed till her normal time she falls asleep around 6:45. I just couldn't do it anymore and while she was crying I had dinner and got ready for bed. I was laying in bed relaxing and watching Cars right after Josh got home from work.
Last night wasn't bad. Delores is still teething so she got up around 4:30 in pain ad wanting a bottle and to be cuddled and given some Tylenol. Josh was already up for work though so he took care of her. I got up with her during her normal time around 11:00 I think it was and she went right back to sleep.
Today I have my 39 week check up with my midwife, Amy. It should be pretty routine, but I am interested to see how much she has grown because it feels like she is huge now. She doesn't do cervical exams until you are actual in labor because she says you can walk around at 4 cm for weeks with nothing happening and it's an invasion of privacy, so there really is no need, because you can't tell anything from it anyway unless you are actually in labor. Which is fine for me because I love the anticipation and excitement of not knowing. My mom always asks if I am going to have a third trimester ultrasound to see how big the baby is, I guess to see what I'm up against, but I'd rather be surprised by the weight than know. Plus if I find out she's gonna be a 10 pounder like Josh was then I'd just be terrified and it would be really hard to be relaxed and confident that I could do it. That's just me though. There are so little surprises in the world and we already know the sex of the baby so I don't need to know anything else.
Andrea, Josh's sister, will be coming today to watch Delores while I'm out and maybe stay a little longer afterwards. I hope so anyways. I also have to make that hike through the hospital to pick up my prescriptions today too. That is going to kill me, but I have to do it. Who knows maybe it'll put me into labor, or just cripple me one. I really don't believe you can do anything to induce labor yourself. The baby will come when she's ready not when you've eaten a whole pineapple soaked in raspberry tea with a Castor oil chaser while you walk a mile after you have sex on a birthing ball with lots of nipple stimulation. lol. It's just silly to me. God will set it in motion when the time comes.
Anyway that is really all I have planned for today other than our normal routine. I'll update on the appointment tomorrow. 5 days to go!

6 more days
Yesterday was great. We had church and lunch and came home for Delores's nap. Josh got his truck unstuck and our new storage building is in place. The rest of the day we just played with Delores till it was time for her to go to bed. After that we went to work. I packed my bag for the birthing center. Josh cleaned and did things I just can't do any more. We moved the pack n play back into our room and set it up with the bouncey seat and the pack n play sheet, the changing table attachment and the cd player with the burnt cd. That's our little trick to get the babies to sleep good. A cd player under the beds with the sound of a washing machine going continuously. We figured that out after Delores had a rough night two days after she got home and we thought we were going to have to sleep in the laundry room. So everything is ready. Finally. I got to watch the second half of the superbowl till about 10 and then I was just too tired to stay up.
Last night was kind of rough too. Delores is probably definately teething and she got up at 2 throwing a fit. Josh had to give her a bottle, but I got to sleep a good bit so it wasn't as bad as it could have been. Tonight I go on for two days, then Josh for two, and then me till wendnesday, unless the baby comes and then Josh is takeing a week off and he will be on until he goes back to work.
I slept late this morning so my brain did not start off on the right note. It's funny how use to something you can get in such a short amount of time. I feel like i'm in a fog now and my fingers won't even flow over the keys like normal. Huff. I guess I'll go do my normal stuff and try to wake up a little before Delores gets up from her nap.

Superbowl Sunday...1 week left
Yay! Superbowl Sunday. Since we've had Delores we haven't followed the games very closely. Usually we are busy cleaning on Sundays or Josh is on call and you can forget the game at 8:00. We are in bed before the first quarter is over. Having children makes you old whether you want to admit it or not. It's is just so much easier to accept your oldness and go with it than fight it.
Last night was great. Delores didn't get up at all until 6:00 and she had a bottle. I expected that though cause she wouldn't eat dinner last night before bed. I think she is cutting back teeth. She has all her usual teething symptoms, congestion, sneezing coughing, irritability, more cuddley than usual, but I can't see any white buds. At least she slept good though because after the night before last I needed a good night's sleep.
Yesterday was great too. We got our storage building in the backyard, we just can't get Josh's truck out of the yard. lol. It had been raining for 2 days and when the man is determined to get something done he will do it at all costs. So now his truck is stuck in our backyard and our yard is all torn up. I can't get mad though. He gave me the puppy dog eyes and I knew that he knew he kind of screwed up.
After that, and after Delores got up from her nap, we set off on our Saturday adventures. We went and had our taxes done first. Oh my goodness! We were there for an hour and a half and we got a women who had no idea what she was doing. Because I had worked there two years prior I was all over her. Bless her heart she had no idea what she was getting into when she took our folder. She put Delores's middle name as her first name (and didn't even spell it right), she put the wrong address in for one of Josh's W2s, she put student loan interest as education credit, and she claimed Josh's mileage from his last job as if he were self employed. Not to mention she just kept forgetting paper work and couldn't find our real estate tax on our mortgage paper. Not that it wasn't there, she just didn't know where to look. It's been two years, but I bet I could have sat in front of the computer and did them about an hour faster than she could have. The manager was so embarrassed that she waived the additional $42 the lady cost us from putting the information on the wrong page. Ugh. It was frustrating at the time, but it was pretty funny after we were done. I don't know how the women made it past the first day of training unless they were just desperate for employees this year. I know I shouldn't be saying all that about the poor women but maybe she just needs to learn she is just not cut out for taxes. Not everyone is perfect at everything.
After that we were starving and just stopped at McDonald's to eat and feed Delores. She is so funny. Delores doesn't like meat and does not like anything made with potatoes, but suddenly when mommy is eating it she loves it. She ate probably a third of my french fries, and two of my chicken nuggets. That is probably why I haven't gained hardly any weight this pregnancy because she keeps stealing my food. Lol, funny girl. After that she ate some strawberries I brought for her and we were off again. Next place was Wendy's because I gotta have my frosty fix. Then Garner's to pop in and get my vitamins. We skipped babies r us because Delores was getting sleepy and I couldn't really remember why I needed to stop there in the first place. The last place was Jc Penny to pick up our maternity pictures. They turned our pretty good. They always print extras and try to sell them to us and when we turn them down they get frustrated. Josh made a good point though. Why bother? They are just going to throw the pics away anyway so why do they bother wasting money and paper on the chance we may buy them. If we want more prints we know where to go. Sheesh. Anyway, after that we headed home. Delores fell asleep in the car so we hung out in the driveway until she got up. Then about an hour or two later Andrea showed up and we did bedtime and went to the melting pot.
If you have never been to the Melting Pot you need to go and get the 4 course meal. Oh my goodness! It was so so good. It was so laid back too. No rushing to get us out the door. Each course was so leisurely. We were there for 2 and a half hours. We had an interesting waiter who had to be a stoner. He said "awesome," so many times it got to be funny. He kept saying that he wanted to eat our food too. Lol, Josh joked that he probably had the munchies and was out back hitting a doobie in between our courses, Lol. I started playing a little game too. It was the "try to make it back from the bathroom before he brings the next course," game. I got up to pee 4 times while we were there. Oh and they sat us in one of those tiny two person booths so it was extra fun to try to get in and out. I got so many stares and from the vision in the bathroom's full length mirror I could understand why. I am huge! Lol. Anyway, when ever we go out we always get sat at one of those booths and we have come to the conclusion that they do this just to be funny. I am a 9 month pregnant women and Josh is a 6'7" man. How in the world are we suppose to fit in one of those booths comfortably? While next to us there are two skinny people sitting in a booth wraps around to easily fit 4 adult people. It's just getting ridiculous. The food was to die for though and you should definitely try it.
We came home exhausted from all our eating and we went straight to bed and it was a terrific Valentine's day. Nothing special, just fantastic food, with just me and Josh and great conversation. It was just what I needed and I was so glad to get it before this baby comes.
Speaking of which, I am now 39 weeks pregnant with one week to go.
Wish me luck with this last week!
Church today, cleaning, and the Superbowl. Hopefully some relaxing and some cuddle time with the hubby. Oh and probably get the truck out of the yard so Josh can go to work tomorrow. Lol. Have a great Sunday!

Saturday part 2
Last night Delores slept great. She got up at 9 and 12 and I haven't heard another peep out of her all night. So no bottle, yay! I, on the other hand, did not fall asleep until 1:00 and popped up wide awake at 6:30. I also got up a couple of times to pee and to kick Ava's kennel because she woke me up whining because it was thundering outside. It had to have been the allergy medication. When I do fall asleep normally I sleep pretty hard and sleep in a little later. Not today. My tiredness will probably hit me around dinner when it starts to wear off. I guess I'll take advantage of this time and get a shower before anyone else gets up.
Blog ya later. lol
Blog ya later. lol
Technically Saturday...8 days left
Well, after all the posting I've done about being sleep deprived, I cannot fall asleep. I'm not sure what that's about. Maybe I'm too excited about spending the day with Josh tomorrow. Maybe I'm getting too eager about this baby coming. Or maybe it's the half of an allergy pill I took to help get rid of this headache. I don't know, but I've been laying in bed for about 2 and a half hours trying to go to sleep and nothing is happening. And bless my dear hubby's heart, but he started snoring and I just can't sleep through that. I could sleep though the sound of a chain saw running before I can sleep through my husband's snoring. It didn't use to be like that, but I am such a light sleeper in this pregnancy that we can't even sleep in the same room right now. I wouldn't say it if I didn't think he would say the same thing, so don't bash me for talking about him behind his back. He will admit it in a heartbeat.
This is a little off topic, but why in the world are commercials choosing ugly people for their casting? It irritates me. I guess they are trying to relate more to the general public, but some of those people are just really ugly. Like the people on the Hillshire Farms commercials (and no, I'm not talking about the kids). Those people look like they've been pulled out of a homeless shelter and put in their commercial. Sorry I was just wondering what's up with that.
So today went pretty good. Still felt pretty uncomfortable and today I felt nauseous and got a headache. I tried to lay down on the couch, then in bed, then in the recliner, and then back on the couch with no success of a nap or comfort. But I did enjoy my relax time so it wasn't pointless. Oh but Josh did surprise me with some pickles from the pita house. The best when you are pregnant. I love em anyway, but you just can't beat homemade pickles when you have that craving. The only thing that would have made it better is a frosty. Pickles and ice cream. So cliche, but so good. I love him for that.
Tomorrow (or today really) Josh and I are having our Valentine's day early because the baby is suppose to arrive Valentine day weekend and he's on call that weekend. We have nothing really planned for the day, but tomorrow night we are going to the melting pot for dinner. We wanted to go see a play or a concert or something, but the only thing going on is the circus and that's just not very romantic. So I think we are just gonna go window shopping at the mall and plan for things to buy each other when we have expendable income, AKA tax money. I know that's bad, but let's face it, Josh is the only one bringing in money to a family of four, and we are paying our bills on time all year long. We don't really allow ourselves to splurge on anything, so when we get our tax money we feel more comfortable with buying unnecessary items.
Also tomorrow we have to do our normal Saturday running around after Josh drops our new storage building in the back yard. So we have to go to Garner's for prenatal vitamins, babies r us for some last minute stuff, the mall to pick up maternity pics, M&M tax to get our taxes done, and somewhere in there we will have lunch and Delores will take a nap in the car. Then maybe we will come home in time to get decent looking for dinner. If not we will just come home, do bed time, and leave.
So we have now officially 8 days left to this pregnancy thing and I'm starting to get scared. I don't know how I'll handle being a mom of two. How do I take care of a 1 year old and a newborn at the same time? I don't know. I can't even fathom how I am going to tackle this task. If I wasn't so uncomfortable and in so much pain I'd say she could gladly hang out in there for a few more weeks. I guess everything happens for a reason and God wouldn't give me a task I couldn't handle. That whole staying positive thing will just have to kick in overtime and I may have to start taking my antidepressants again, but I'm sure I can make it. Maybe.
Well have a good Saturday!
This is a little off topic, but why in the world are commercials choosing ugly people for their casting? It irritates me. I guess they are trying to relate more to the general public, but some of those people are just really ugly. Like the people on the Hillshire Farms commercials (and no, I'm not talking about the kids). Those people look like they've been pulled out of a homeless shelter and put in their commercial. Sorry I was just wondering what's up with that.
So today went pretty good. Still felt pretty uncomfortable and today I felt nauseous and got a headache. I tried to lay down on the couch, then in bed, then in the recliner, and then back on the couch with no success of a nap or comfort. But I did enjoy my relax time so it wasn't pointless. Oh but Josh did surprise me with some pickles from the pita house. The best when you are pregnant. I love em anyway, but you just can't beat homemade pickles when you have that craving. The only thing that would have made it better is a frosty. Pickles and ice cream. So cliche, but so good. I love him for that.
Tomorrow (or today really) Josh and I are having our Valentine's day early because the baby is suppose to arrive Valentine day weekend and he's on call that weekend. We have nothing really planned for the day, but tomorrow night we are going to the melting pot for dinner. We wanted to go see a play or a concert or something, but the only thing going on is the circus and that's just not very romantic. So I think we are just gonna go window shopping at the mall and plan for things to buy each other when we have expendable income, AKA tax money. I know that's bad, but let's face it, Josh is the only one bringing in money to a family of four, and we are paying our bills on time all year long. We don't really allow ourselves to splurge on anything, so when we get our tax money we feel more comfortable with buying unnecessary items.
Also tomorrow we have to do our normal Saturday running around after Josh drops our new storage building in the back yard. So we have to go to Garner's for prenatal vitamins, babies r us for some last minute stuff, the mall to pick up maternity pics, M&M tax to get our taxes done, and somewhere in there we will have lunch and Delores will take a nap in the car. Then maybe we will come home in time to get decent looking for dinner. If not we will just come home, do bed time, and leave.
So we have now officially 8 days left to this pregnancy thing and I'm starting to get scared. I don't know how I'll handle being a mom of two. How do I take care of a 1 year old and a newborn at the same time? I don't know. I can't even fathom how I am going to tackle this task. If I wasn't so uncomfortable and in so much pain I'd say she could gladly hang out in there for a few more weeks. I guess everything happens for a reason and God wouldn't give me a task I couldn't handle. That whole staying positive thing will just have to kick in overtime and I may have to start taking my antidepressants again, but I'm sure I can make it. Maybe.
Well have a good Saturday!
