Quoting Cupcake1013 *FGG*:“ Oh... it wasn't the wife... it was the hubby... Like he has any room to talk from watching labor, not going through it. And his wife had it easy... In 3 kids she had a TOTAL of 5 hours a labor....”

Oh sorry I misread. But yeah same goes for him...

YAY!! Ali is finally in her place!!! Awesome! and it is abotu fricking time!!!!

I have some good news! My hubby got a hold of the boss at KFC and he is calling him to go to his second interview early tomorrow morning in Durant!! The only reason he hadn't gotten back to him yet was because the secnond interview needs to be with him and his partner and his partner was 100 mile away the last two days but will be in Durant tomorrow morning to open that store! YAYA!

So, after tomorrows interview he may have a start up date for his new job! prey with me that he does so he won't have to keep suffering through this shit job with shit pay and even shittier managment! The had him packing boxes for eight hours last night which is way too much weight for his hand to be doing repeatedly that long, and then when his shift was over they made him stay three hours late to clean up after other areas and fix what the messed up on while they sent everyone from those areas home on time!!! WTF is that!!!

But, my man loves us a lot so even though the man i fell in love with is someone who would just walk out after telling them how lucky htey were that he was leaving and not staying to stab a fork in htere ear first, he sucked it up and stuck it out so he would still have a job.... I love him!

he was just so tired and sore last night, He really deserves this other job,. It would be so much less stress and the more money a job pays the happier he is to get up every day and go there so I want him to have that!!

As it is, we still haven't gotten the car registered or ensured here, haven't gotten our birth certificates so we can get our liscenses switched to here! I home school all the kids and I have always saved money by just going through the library and desighining their curriculums off of the materials I find there but they charge you 40 bucks to get a card if you don't have and in state ID and you don't get to rent out books as long either so I ahve had to wait.

Not that I was going to make them study hard right now anyway, with the move and the stress level of Dad getting more money and a new baby on the way. That is why I love home schooling so much, the flexibility of being able to base it on how our lives are going and take breaks when emotianally needed! Normally we do school all summer and take off for the holiday monthsm October, nov, and dec but this year it is all back wards! Zaden is going to be starting pre school, kindergarten this year and Maddox will too but may not catch on at the same pace yet.

I am so excited for them. They are so cute when they learn something new and run through the house showing everyone a million times a day for weeks! LOL It will be so great when they learn how to read!!

I was so tired today that I went to bad at eight right after I got all the kids down, i jsut passed out for three hours! uhhg! I hope I can sleep later! otherwise tomorrow will be awful! Grrr and I am all out of ginger ale so now I hav nothing but water and ours tastes weird so I don't like it!! grr again! LOL

I got my fingers crossed for your husband!!!!!
Second interviews are always a good thing.

HOORAY FOR ALI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy for her right now.

I'm off to bed ladies it's 1am and I need some sleep.

 

Vanna- I have already made the "official" list up, but if you still want a text buddy, I'll be your text buddy. PM and we can exchange numbers!

Kristen- Her SN is spelled MISS BRITTANY, so try that. Or did you already? Let me know. Oh, I see that Tara found it for you. Thanks Tara!

Katie- That sucks that you had to stay overnight in L&D and then that they didn't take good care of you. How rude!

Tara- OMG! I am totally in love with iced coffees! I just got some General International Coffee mix that makes iced coffees. If you love them as much as I do, I'll let you know how it tastes. hehe! Also you don't know how to drive a car? Hmm?

Amanda- Great belly pics! Love the stretchies! So sexy!!

Cohen's Mommy- Have fun at your work shower!

Melissa- Cute belly pic! You are so tiny!

Maegenn- Thanks for sharing about Ali! That is super good news! YAY!

Tamra- Fingers crossed that hubby gets the job!

Hello to the mommies that I left out! I still love yall!

SLEEPING- I am up every 1-2 hours, sometimes every half hour! ARGH! I either wake up uncomfortable or I have to pee. Or I wake up uncomfortable, then I have to pee! LOL! Either way, it takes me forever to get back to sleep. I dread bedtime! I about wanna snap Randel's head off when he says that he is tired. He doesn't even know what tired means, not even a bit! Somehow I manage though! haha!

PAIN- I have it allover! Name a spot, I probably have an ache, a pain or pressure right there too. Head to toe, front and back! It is so crazy that I love being pregnancy....even with all the pain! LOL!

HEARTBURN/INDIGESTION- It doesn't matter what I eat or drink, I get it. Even drinking water gives it to me! Nothing helps it either. UGH! Evan is heads down and really low, so I figured that it should be happening anymore. Boy, was I wrong! I am guessing it is because he is right in the middle of my belly and is squishing my stomach and esophagus (sp?). Thanks little man!

LOSING WEIGHT- With Zach, I gained 36 pounds. I lost about 15 pounds within the first month. Which was probably mainly Zach's weight, my placenta, all the ambotic fluid and some water weight. It took me about 6 months after Zach was born to lose the rest. The only thing that I did that probably helped lose it was bfeding. Well, that and watching my portions. Note that I said portions! I love food and could not deny myself it! haha! I caved at times and had bigger portions (or sometimes seconds or thirds!), but I am only human. LMAO! What was funny was that I actually lost all of my "baby weight" right before the Holidays, only to gain about 8 pounds, then to find out I was preggers. Such is life! This time around, I plan on bfeding as well as watching my portions again, but I will probably be able to lose more or maybe even lose it faster because of having two LOs to chase after. For instance, this pregnancy I have only gained 13 pounds so far. This far with Zach, I had already gained at least 25 pounds. Since I have been eating whatever I want, when I want (when I can that is--stop morning sickness), I probably have Zach to thank for not gaining so much. haha! That boy is no stop! So I can only imagine two little monsters running around! hehe!

We went shopping today. It went okay. We went to BRU to see if we could find Evan a coming-home outfit and they didn't have anything that I was hoping for. I am looking for a really cute lightweight coverall or an overall set preferable in light blue or light green. They had a good selection of fall/winter clothing and should be getting more in tomorrow, so we will check back on Friday. Oh and just to let yall know they had almost all of their summer clothes on clearance. I was good and didn't get anymore. I have already picked through most of them though! haha! We also went to the Dollar Tree and got some plastic baskets for Evan's room. They have a great selection of sizes and colors, all for a dollar! Me likey! Anyway...

Belly rubs!

Great, I would love that if you don't mind. Thankx. I'll send you PM with my number in a minute

Morning!
Melissa~ Your poor gram....strapped to the bed. Thats horible! I would think that would make the pain even worse and old hossy beds were not comfy like they are today.

Tara~ Thanks! I still think he is a cutie (of course)

Cupcake~ Men have no clue. Maybe thoughwhat you said didn't make him mad, maybe it made him think. Justin don't let them know that you aren't feeling up to par and he thinks you need your rest? Hang in there!It is strange how you lose friends when you are pg like you are no longer part of the fun. After kid type social events start though you will make new friends. The ones you don't seem to be talking to right now may also come around after baby. I swear ppl think when you are pg that you no longer want to be contacted. And if they don't it is their loss.

Tamra~ good luck on the new job for hubby...Hopefully things get better for ya. Water being yucky and toilet not working right and dh even thinking aloud and saying you are goin to go over due when you are so uncomfortable right now...would make me wanna go cry ,no scream,into my pillow. Stress has been hangin around our door too to add what you have to it would send me over the edge I think.

Amanda~Hows Zach doing? You were posting pics alot got us all hooked then quit posting;) LOL gonna start charging now like a dealer...lmao
I am feeling ya on the heart burn! Thought the same thing that it would let up after he moved head down but no such luck. I can look at food and get it..lol Good luck to ya on the weight.With me I have gained a little more each pg and took a lil longer to lose it after.Just one of those freak cases that had a hard time losing any weight while bf and also dropped down a cup size (compared to before pg) afterweaning her. Alot of woman say that bf helped them lose weight and that bf also helped them gain a lil more breast size. Total opposite. I too have been having some pains.Last nighthad some contractions, timed them just because they sure as heck felt like the real thing. Felt so sick to- had bad ballerinas (just a word that stuck that the girls used to call it and hey it sounds a heck of alot nicer then the real thing) And it was like the ballerinas were triggering my bad contractions.The painwrapped completely around my back and tummy and my tummy was as hard as a rock. I am fine though...Not looking forward to my after pains. I am thinking.. my braxton hicks were not this bad with any of the girls. I do remember my after pains were a little worse. If I can't handle "false labor" boy am I in for it....  Wonder if it is because of age and my old ars just can't tolerate pain anymore  that and the fact it is my 4th? 

I should probably clear something up.... After moping around last night and finally telling Justin what was bothing me, he told me that he DID in fact tell these people why I don't come around.... well.. all except one part and that's because he didn't want me to sound like a bitch (He didn't EXACTLY say it was because of the 2 year old)

He said he told them that right now I'm very fragile and that things around there tend to get VERY chaotic (they have 3 boys ages 13-7 and the 2 year old girl) and it's alot calmer at home. Also the fact that I can't get comfortable over there doesn't help either. Apparently this guy thinks that ALL women are exactly the same and that because his wife had easy pregnancies (except morning sickness) that I must just be a big wussy and over playing my pregnancy card. WTF ever!!!

So I guess I have to give Justin some credit... he SAYS he said something, but I know him... he probably was very passe about it.

Quoting Cupcake1013 *FGG*:“ Sorry... I need to vent... I apologize ahead of time if this ends up long... First a little bit of background ... [snip!] ... should I have to defend my pregnancy to someone?? Why should I have to be the bitch because some people are so thick headed???”

wow mama -- i think you and justin need to have a heart to heart about the fact that those people are rude, and disrespectful to you -- the fact that they want you to "jeopardize" lessas health to go sit at their house is totally unacceptable!

Yes as crazy as it sounds I've driven a car a total or 5 times in my 32 years. Living in NYC makes it really easy not to have to own a car. I've always been within a few blocks of the subway. I just never had the need, or the money for a car. However, with a baby coming I think it might be about time I go and get that license. Dragging a baby on the subway is not an easy thing. Mike knows how to drive but because we haven't had a car his license expired so he needs to get on that too.

I'm totally bummed today. My best friend informed me last night that she will not be able to come to my shower next week. She has to go to NJ for her neice/goddaughter's party. I guess I understand but it still sucks. I purposely didn't have it the following weekend cause it's her son's 1st b-day and I knew she wouldn't be able to go. Now it doesn't matter cause she won't be there anyway. We've been friends since HS (18 years) and she's like my sister so she's the one person I really wanted to be there. Oh well... nothing I can do about it now right?

Good Morning!
I love it ....aMAN running his mouth that has no clue what it is like to be pregnant! He sounds like an ass!Justin probably did tell him and he didnt listen anyway! I'm not even on bedrest but not really comfortable at all anymore so home is where I would rather be!!

Good morning to all Mommas! I had my 32wk appt this morning and found out we're now measuring 1 week ahead (no big surprise there!) and I've gained a total of only 14lbs! The midwife wasn't concerned at all; said that it's baby and boobies and my body must've metabolized almost all my fat from elsewhere...but I swear my thighs are growing! Anyway, Mollie is definately head down now (YAY!) so I'm happy!

I agree completaly. He's a MAN, what does he know about pregnancy and how does it feel! And who relly cares what does he think. Maybe he should learn to control his 2 year old daughter first and leave you alone.
I'm not on bedrest as well and I like beeing home the best. I'm comfortable home, Ican do what I want and when I want it at home, and if my friends don't understand that, I don't care. I told them all I'm pregnant now and I'm not like I used to be before. If they can't accept it, it's their problem,not mine.

Yay for you 32 weeks . 14 pounds only . If I could be that lucky. I gained around 30 pounds so far. Hope I'll take it off someday 

Oh I forgot to tell you. I'm 31 weeks TODAY!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!Can't beleive it's only 9 more weeks to go 

I'm miserable. My body hurts so bad, it feels like I got ran over by a bus. I couldn't sleep at all last night, I kept tossing and turning. Then getting up to go pee. Blahh.. Oh and I slept through my appt. this morning. I'm definatly ready for her to be here. At least then the reason I won't be sleeping at night will be cause I am taking care of her, not rolling around in pain!

I'm going to take a bath...
