Vent Day!

Why does it need to be 90+ degrees outside?!  Ugh!  I'm so sick of this heat.  I WANT TO GO OUTSIDE!  Will I do that while it's this hot and while I'm 9 months pregnant?  Um, hell no.  I feel like I've been cooped up all summer.  The other week when it was in the 70s I was thrilled and was hoping it would stay that way.  But no, back to the heat. 

Things to Look Forward To

11:13 AM Posted In , , , , , , Edit This 0 Comments »
Lately what’s been on my mind are all the things I’m looking forward to once I’m no longer pregnant.  The obvious and most important is meeting my little man and becoming a mother.  I can’t stop thinking about what he’s going to look like.  I already love him to pieces. 

Besides Baby K and becoming a mother I’m so looking forward to sleeping on my stomach and back again.  Oh that would be so nice!!!  The things you take for granted. 

I’m also looking forward to sleeping without hip pain.  My poor hips are to the point where they hurt constantly – especially when laying in bed.  So trying to get comfortable at night is a chore.

I’m also looking forward to bending over like normal people.  Depending on how he is situated in my belly sometimes I can’t even bend over all the way.  It will be so nice to be able to pick things up easily again! 

I’m looking forward to wearing my wedding ring again!!!  I haven’t been able to wear it since late June if I remember correctly because my fingers are so swollen.  I thought my fingers were fat before but now…  I can barely even get my hubby’s ring on my finger.  We tried the other day and it fits but it fits real tight.  That’s pretty bad.

I’m also looking forward to no more Charlie horses in the middle of the night (this morning’s was a bad one).  I never used to get Charlie horses until I got pregnant.  So I would assume they would go away after I give birth. 

I’m looking forward to having a Bud Light Lime.  Oh yum!  It’s not like I want to get wasted or anything but having a beer or two whenever I want would be so nice! 

I’m looking forward to wearing normal shoes again and even heels!  My feet are so swollen that I can only wear flip flops.  I can’t even squeeze my feet into my slippers!  One of my favorite things about fall and winter is that I get to wear socks and shoes.  Nothing feels better than putting on a fresh pair of socks!  Baby K will come just in time for that!

I’m looking forward to having clothes that fit me.  While I completely understand that my body is not going to just go back to normal, it will be much easier to find clothes that fit being chubby rather than pregnant.  Towards the end of this pregnancy it has been rather difficult to find clothes that fit.  Most of my shirts fit everywhere except they aren’t long enough because the bottom of my belly pops out.  I’d rather not walk around with my belly hanging out unless I’m at home.  So, my options are limited.  You would think that they would make these maternity shirts extra long for this reason.  It’s funny because I have a very short torso and usually have the problem of my shirts being too long! 

I’m most definitely looking forward to having the constant heartburn go bye-bye.  Waking up at 1:00 a.m. with the worst heartburn is NOT fun. 

I’m looking forward to not having a kick to the ribs or a punch to the bladder.  Those punches to the bladder are the worst!!  I will probably miss him moving around in there when he’s not causing any pain or when he has the hiccups but those painful jabs I sure won’t miss.  

So many things to look forward to!  Less than one month to go!

Vent Day!

Oh gosh, there are so many things to vent about today (probably because I’m a cranky large pregnant woman).  I could vent about the fact that my body aches constantly now.  My hips hurt, my back hurts, the muscles in my lower abdomen hurt. 

I can vent about the fact that I’m not sure what I do most at night: 1. Sleep; 2. Go to the bathroom; or 3. Flip over and over trying to get comfortable. 

I could vent about the fact that I have zero energy.  After waking up in the morning and getting ready all I can think about is finally getting in the car so I can just sit down.  I could use a nap or two to get me through the day.  Too bad that’s not an option.  You would think this pure exhaustion would help me sleep at night…

I could vent about the fact that my husband still has not bought a new ‘used’ car.  We’ve been talking about him buying a new car for at least 9 months now.  You see, he drives a 2 seater and it’s a POS and could breakdown at any moment.  Obviously he can’t drive the baby around in a 2 seater.  But has he purchased a new car yet?  Nope.  Baby is due in a month and he’s still driving that POS.  I’m so freaking sick of having that conversation with him.  Just thinking about bringing it up again makes me want to vomit.  Maybe I’ll just never bring it up again and see what happens.  Let’s take a guess… will he step up to the plate on his own and buy a new car?  Or will he still be driving the POS months after the baby is born.  My gut feeling is leaning towards the later.

I could also vent about the fact that St. Croix Tree Service’s truck drivers are pieces of shit.  Every freaking day they pull out in front of someone.  I’m NOT kidding you or over-exaggerating.  I either see them pull out in front of someone up ahead of me or they pull out in front of me every morning or evening.  It’s not like they pull out and you have to eventually slow down because they are going slower than you.  They actually pull out in front of you and make you slam on your brakes.  In fact, one pulled out in front of me this morning.  They don’t give two shits and I’m not going to lie, I am starting to get to the point where I want to call and complain about them.  I never call and complain about shit like this but it’s seriously pissing me off. 

Ah, I feel slightly better.

What's on my mind

1:21 PM Posted In , , , , , , , Edit This 0 Comments »
A. Last night I woke up around 3 am with the WORST pain in my left hip.  At first I thought I just laid on one side too long or laid on it wrong.  So I tried to turn over and oh my… ouchie momma!  Then I decided to get up and holy moses.  I’m assuming it was a Charlie horse in my hip but I have no idea.  It seemed to last forever but probably only lasted like 5 minutes.  Poor Phil was woken up by it.  I sure hope that doesn’t happen again.  It was worse than the Charlie horses in my calf and lasted longer too. 

B. 7 more work days and then I have 5 days off in a row.  Amen to that!  I’m in need of a vacation from this joint!  Everyone needs to get away from time to time and I definitely do.  Phil and I were going to do something fun together but his stupid new boss denied his vacation request.  I mean seriously… there was no reason for her to deny his request.  So I don’t have any fun plans but there is a lot I need to get done so I’m sure I’ll use the time to get stuff done in Baby K’s room and around the house.  I also need to make an Ikea trip (again) so I’ll have plenty of stuff to do.  It will be a nice break from work before the baby comes. 

C. I have less than 3 months until I get to meet Baby K.  Crazy!  This pregnancy is seriously flying by the seat of my pants.  I am pretty sure that he won’t be coming early but in case he does I’ll meet him in roughly 2 ½-3 months.  :)  I can’t wait!!!!!! 

D. I want to give this baby a name.  I'm set on a name that we both really like and we will most likely be using.  However, my hubby thinks we need to wait and see if anything better comes along.  That's not how I roll.  I'm a planner.  I like to get shit done well before it's due.  I would like this baby to have a name so I can start calling him by his name now and there's one project in his nursery that I can't do until we decide on a name.  So, to be fair I told the hubby that I'll wait until the baby shower and by then I want us to decide on his name.  That gives him another month and a half to come up with anything different and gives me at least a month before he's here to have his name set.  I think that's a decent compromise.  Seriously... it's driving me nuts knowing we have an awesome name and just haven't 100% decided on it. 

E. I miss my husband.  He was gone all weekend at his mom’s house helping her put on a new roof so I barely saw him.  But he came home a little early last night, around 7-7:30ish so we could spend a wee bit of time together before I went to bed.  That was a nice surprise.  I was feeling rather lonely yesterday.  He's been working rather hard this whole summer.  It's always one project after the other and we barely do anything together.  Lots of important projects to go...  :(


F. I have heartburn.  The pills the doc prescribed to me worked really good at first and I didn't get any heartburn.  Lately it's been creeping back up on me and seems to be getting worse and worse.  The pills do help because it's still not as bad as it was but it's getting worse again.  Poo...  Makes me wonder if my body is getting use to the pills and now they aren't working?  Who knows...  That's just my mind wondering off.


That is all for now.

Holy Hell

Holy mood swings!  I feel sorry for everyone who must be around me right now.  Last night I was terrible.  I barked at Phil for no good reason.  I barked at the dogs for no good reason.  I even barked at inanimate objects for being stupid and annoying.  Don’t look at me the wrong way, don’t walk in front of me, don’t talk to me.  While I’m in this horrible mood I know I’m being stupid but can I control it?  Absolutely not.  I laid in bed last night hoping that in the morning I’ll be happy and chipper seeing as it will be Friday and I’ll only work a ½ day.  Was I?  Absolutely not.  Winston was scolded for no reason, I yelled at my clothes for being uncomfortable and my body for growing overnight, I yelled at the stupid dump truck who didn’t feel the need to use his blinker.  Now I’m annoyed at a certain someone who feels the need to clear her throat every 5 minutes.  Just f’ing shut up!  Man I’m crabby and my face breaking out, the hundred errands I have to run after work and the million and one projects that I have going on don’t help.  If you know what’s best for you you will just stay away…  you’ve been warned.
