The April babies are coming! The April babies are coming!

Published

at February 28, 2006

I frequent a couple of Due in April boards and the first baby was born yesterday. Another of the girls is in labor today. Amazing. One of them only 34 weeks preggo. I’m 3 days away from being 34 weeks preggo. While I don’t think this baby will be that early, it still is amazing to know they are coming.

I’m glad we’ve been getting so much stuff done. I think I only need 2 more weeks to get all the critical baby stuff accomplished at home. I also need to get loose ends wrapped up at work. (That may take a longer period of time — like 3 weeks) but anyways, I think I should have everything done as long as I keep my eye on the ball (and my todo lists)

For the last 2 weeks, I had been using weekly todo lists to help me accomplish a few things every week. But it didn’t work as well as it did this week when I decided to create daily tasks instead of weekly ones. I have some for D, some for me and so far it’s been working great. the todo lists for the last 3 days have been insane but very helpful and I feel a sense of accomplishment. The light at the end of the tunnel is barely visible. I think as soon as we get next week over with, I’ll finally be able to concentrate on washing and prepping all the ’stuff’ for this baby. I can’t wait!

Rolling my eyes at Trenotes

Published

I keep meaning to execute my plan and just recreate this todo list I have on trenotes, but I keep putting it off, going to forums, surfing this, surfing that… Just now I said to myself “ok, now i’m gonna do it” so I switch to Trenotes and what do i do? take a deep sigh, and roll my eyes. Do I not know where to start? Do I not think it will work? um… let’s analyze… yes and yes.

I’m not sure how to set it up. I mean I’ve done it before in a format I thought was perfect but I just didn’t do it. So what went wrong? I dunno but I think i’m blaming the list itself. If something is wrong with the list, then HOW should I recreate that list? One thing I don’t want to do is recreate my ENTIRE list. I want to make a small list today to be used today. But what will I be wanting to accomplish once I get home? I have no F’ing clue. I know I just have to get the hell off my lazy ass and JUST DO IT. Even though I’m pregnant, my body hurts, I’m more tired than normal and have to move slowly, my problem now is the same problem I’ve had forever. I feel discouraged to get anything done because I feel when something is clean, organized, decluttered , dh just doesn’t help keep it that way. My efforts are for naught. But is it really him? How do I know? I mean, when he has no consideration for my efforts, I quit too so my mess contributes to his mess and as long as he sees a mess, he keeps adding to it. And as long as I know part of it is my mess, I don’t feel like I want to say anything to him about it either. Maybe I give up too quickly. I know I never used to but I think I just got tired of arguing with him and feeling like he thinks i’m just a bossy & demanding bitch. NOT the role I signed up for. I just wish he didn’t put me in that position. I know if we ever separate that’s one thing I will have off my shoulders and will feel GOOD about not having to deal with again. I’m not saying I want us to separate but having that same wieght on me is tiring and I really do wish I could just free myself from it.

Anyways, hubby aside, I want to focus on things without thinking of all that negativity. Hard to do, tho.

Aaaaanyways, What do I want to do today? What REALLY needs to be done?

- get vmail off phone and write down name & number for lady from therapist place.
- find letter from car ins. and sign and put car title into envelope and into the mailbox.

those two items are really THE most important things.

then I need to get food. I wanted to cook but if I do that, I will have zero energy for anything else. So ..

- get a rotisserie chicken from publix to eat with the pasta I made last night.
- while at publix get ball park hotdogs and chef boyardie stuff.

After that and feeding J and changing my clothes after picking her up from daycare, and I’ll feel beat.

I could sit down for an hour to rest then do something else, but problem is once I sit down, I won’t be able to get back up. That fucking couch has a way of zapping all of my energy. God I loved that living room set when we first bought it but it is terrible for me now. I need to figure out something else .. but I have no fucking clue what. I mean, I can’t watch tv from the piano room couch. ugh..

The BEST way to rest would be to lay in bed for an hour. That would give me the boost I need to do something else but problem is J won’t stay in the bedroom with me. You know, what I need is to put a TV in my room. I could lay there while she watches something on TV. That is the best solution by far. However, we weren’t going to move the living room tv into the bedroom until after we got a new wide screen tv for the living room. As expensive as those are, we won’t be doing that anytime soon. Well, maybe if I bought a cheep tv for the bedroom… that would work. Maybe a tv small enough to put in J’s room when she’s older. Or into the garage once that’s finished. It would really help me.

Well, there’s an idea.

OK, well, what else. I need to come with a schedule next. Not so much a LIST but a schedule I can print out in a calendar. Our biggest problem right now is our bathrooms. I will put only bathrrom chores in it for now to keep it simple. JUST so I can print out the damned thing already. Then we can build on that as time passes.

I think the above is a great start. Man, thank god I decided to vent about this on here cuz I wouldn’t have come up with it otherwise. THANKS BLOG OF MINE!

Today’s full morning…

I was so “on a roll” by the time I made it to work, I should have just taken the whole day off. Took the first half of the day off to take care of some personal things but I got on that “get my shit squared away” mode, I couldn’t change gears to “get work shit squared away”.

We’re a few steps closer to refinancing the car. basically we’ll be going from 7.99% down to 4.75% ( and if lucky a 4.5%) interest rate. It’s taken a lot of leg work but in the end we ended up just down the hall from work. LOL! Next we need to have the car serviced, have a couple recalls taken care of.. blah blah blah. but that all happens on the weekend so I should be able to focus on other stuff now.

The house adjuster came this morning to “adjust” the house.. or whatever you call it. :D he climbed up on the roof, measured it, went in the back yard, measured all the fences, went into the back, looked at the screened in patio, then he left. He was the nicest adjuster I’ve ever had to deal with.. basically *all* the fence has to be replaced.. ALL of it.. and goddam there’s a lot of it. The entire screened in patio frame thingy has to be torn down and replaced, and I also told him about 3 exterior lights that got damaged and our sprinkler system that got torn up by the tree roots. He said it’d take 3-4 weeks before we get a letter in the mail with a check. then I said.. “um, our deductible is 4k!” and he goes “oh don’t worry it’s gonna be more than 4k..”

WOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

I just hope we’re not talking of something like $4001.50 cuz then i couldn’t even buy a caramel macchiatto :/

THEN, we took off to the obgyn to get an u/s. The lady said everything looked great. then we asked her OK OK OK, SHUT UP ALREADY AND TELL US WHAT THE SEX OF THE BABY IS, WILL YA?!!! (well, not really but that’s what I was saying inside). she looked and looked and zoomed and changed the angle of the view and looked and she just Fing took forEVER. I know what girl parts look like on an u/s so I just knew. I turned to dennis and told him “she’s gonna tell us it’s a girl”. and guess what?! It’s a Girl! lol!

I still would have liked to have a boy (i still would like to think I could have a son one day) but initial disappointment aside, I’m becoming more excited now about having another girl. I’m happy that Jada gets to have a sister because sisters tend to be closer to eachother than brother/sister and they are closer to the parents than boys tend to be after adulthood (unless you really fuck them up, that is). And they will share more things through the years, etc, etc.. not to mention we’ve got enough girl clothes to clothe twins if we had to.

so we don’t need a *single* thing for this baby. NADA! except, of course, for diapers and *maybe* a new infant car seat because J’s been sitting in the heat for 1.5 years and it’s said this damages the strength of the plastic and they only good for 3 years anyway no matter where you keep it. so if we don’t want to take chances….

We even already have new furniture for J so we can move her out of the “baby” room. We just need to paint, carpet, etc, etc, etc.

18 weeks down 22 to go. or… could be another early birht like J and it could be 20 to go…

ok, now i’m just rambling… ;)
