oh boy… another sleepless night.

I’ve been feeling unusually energetic all day. well it’s technically wednesday but tuesday i was feeling real good. didn’t even have too big of a problem walking and i wasn’t drowsy.

On the way home I went grocery shopping. as long as i didn’t stand still in one spot i was fine. kept walking around the store grabbing things and the hip pain was bearable. came home, put most things away without a huge problem, i’m almost done w/ my 2nd load of laundry and i still haven’t felt tired enough to go to bed. i scrubbed the counter tops, seasoned some chicken to cook tomorrow, and i’m about to work on our finances some more. man, i wish i could be this productive every day!

If i’m still up in 3 hours i’ll just go in to work and then leave early - it would actually be the first time since march that i’d come in ON TIME (7am-3pm - w/ no lunch break). no sense in going to sleep if I’ll just end up making it in late …as usual.

yes, i’m still pregnant!

i get asked that a lot. I really don’t mind it. but it reminds me every time that i’m still pregnant. I like it when i can forget that i am and can focus on other things like slacking off at work surfing the net and stuff.

Questions I get asked the most these days (in order of frequency):

1) You’re still here?
2) You haven’t popped yet?
3) When are you gonna pop?
4) How are you feeling?
5) When are you due again?
6) How much longer you got?
7) So are you ready?

well, the answers would be yes, no, wish I knew, tired of being pg, 8/2, wish i knew, sure - as ready as i’m gonna be. Don’t get me wrong, i don’t mind the questions.. :)

anyway, thought i’d do this questionaire. - got it from jenn’s post. thought it would be another fun way to waste my time here at work. ;)

1.) What’s the most important thing in your house right now?

aside from dennis? my dog scully.

2.) What would be your ultimate dream job, a job you would absolutely love almost every second of?

get paid for sleeping.

3.) What’s your absolute favourite smell?

violet water. (baby cologne latinos use)

4.) If you could have any one article of clothing, with money not an issue at all, what would it be?

i’m not really into fashions, so i couldn’t care less. I’m fine with the baggy stuff i wear everyday.

5.) If you could change any one thing about yourself or your life, what would it be?

I wish I didn’t have scoliosis.

so..

so.. after work I grabbed every coupon I could find, went to babies r us, returned one of the carseats for store credit, and then loaded my cart with about 170 bucks worth of crap! boy, that was fun! got diapers, diaper genie refils, hangers, large onsies, .. animal crackers. LOL. i got a lot more than that but i can’t remember now.. OH! and a sony baby monitor. :) after the coupons i only had to take about 40 bucks out of pocket to pay for the difference. I think i used up every last coupon I could without buying useless shit.

but i was on my feet too long and am still paying the consequences now. swollen/painful legs and SWOLLEN feet. now i really look like the stay puffed marshmallow man. poor me. :(

hmph!!

I’m sooo bumbed out right now… My cousin’s daughter’s birthday is tomorrow.. and I thought it was on sunday! Since it’s tomorrow I can still go after work but I’d have to go alone and I’m afraid to go alone cuz it’s over an hour drive (she lives in perrine) and I keep having visions of going into labor or my water breaking down there and having to drive up alone or worse yet, ending up having the baby down there and Dennis missing the whole thing. DAMN! So I won’t be going after all. :(
there will be other cousins there I haven’t seen in a long time too. (vicky and eppy) I saw vicky just a couple months ago and I email her sometimes but not eppy. SHIT! SO so so so PISSED OFF right now. Well, Dennis and I will still go down on sunday to yvette’s house to pick up a few things she’s gonna give us for the baby but we probably won’t get to see vicky or eppy tho unless we go to pete’s house or something.. I guess we can still do that but they might already have other plans for that day or something, i dunno.

grrrrrrrr!

OOOH! Feeling good today!

not sure what wire invaded my ass but I’m feeling good this morning. Of course I didn’t get much sleep lastnight and spent the whole day sleeping, but i’m still feeling good. awake, and determined would be the 2 words of choice for today. I hope to god I don’t end up jinxing it all by posting about it.

waiting…

boy, this waiting is getting old. sure, I still have things to do and I’ve been telling everyone how I would like to have another week at least to tie loose ends and my hospital bag isn’t even packed yet, but i’m just tired of looking like the stay puffed marshmallow man. and the shortness of breath AND the pain AND the sleeplessness. And i’m so worthless at work I just need to be put on maternity asap. Put me out of this misery! I fall asleep at home during the day, at work during the week. why can’t i sleep at night when i’m supposed to!!

I’m supposed to go to a birthday party on sunday, will i make it? My next appt is on monday, I hope I have good news at my next appt. like maybe the dr. tells me he’d like to strip my bag of water or something.

ok, i’m going to go now and pack my hospital bag. maybe that’s what this baby is waiting on. great, now i’m getting delusional.
