Insomnia

And here I sit. 2:53am and I've been up for about an hour. Can't sleep - too much running thru my mind :(

On Wednesday at my appt we decided to go ahead with an induction on Monday but to check everything on Friday and have one last talk about it all (because he knew how nervous I was about another induction) so today when I went in everything was good, I'm about 2.5cm dilated and thinned out so he said "alrighty well do ya think????" and of course I'm a wreck and thinking ahhhh I don't know!!!!! Do I wait and see if I can do this naturally? Or do I just bite the bullet and call it good. We have had a good 40 weeks so maybe its just time. He isn't gonna let me go past Wednesday anyways so it's very possible that I could wait and have to be induced anyhow. My body just likes to hold onto babies.....

So I talked to Paul and we decided to induce Monday for a variety of reasons so I wrap my head around it totally but then last night get an email from my dr saying "well I will have to call u tomorrow after I talk to the nurse manager, there might not be enough spots open Monday" - what??????????

So hear I sit, super uncomfortable and my mind racing at 3am. I have a feeling tomorrow is gonna be awesome.... A super tired mommy and a rambunctious 2 yr old. Oy vay.....

He will not smile normally if I say "smile for mommy!".... I should never have taught him the cheesy smile. Never.

Ticklefest

One of my favorite times of day. Decky gets a serious burst of energy post dinner and it always leads to he and Paul wrestling/running around the house/said tickle fest. I love watching them....... I love SITTING and watching :)

Decky loves our neighbor, Ashley "ashhhh" and the other night he was asking for her so we went out and waited for her to get home from school. And she let him ride in her sweet caddy. Actually Declan was a chicken shiz and only sat in it when she was NOT driving. Scaredy cat.


Date night with the hubs. 39.5 weeks. Isn't Paul such a lucky man with this sexy beast?????


Another view. I got an email from a friend and (after seeing a recent picture of the belly) she said "I'm really sorry for your vagina" and it made me laugh so unbelievably hard....I'm sorry too



Knocking that smoothie back like a champ


Smoothie stache:


And for any of you parents out there this is an awesome way to get your kid who is going thru a no veggie stage, his veggies :) I put a crap ton of spinach in a blender with half a banana, strawberries, frozen blueberries, some flax seed, OJ and a little honey and clearly, he loves.

I found this amusing....

I get weekly updates from BabyCenter and its basically the online version of "what to expect when you're expecting" kind of thing - tells me about my baby in his current state, gives some advice etc etc etc.

This week (week 39), the activity is as follows:
Kick back and relax. Rent some movies, read a novel, curl up with a stack of magazines or a new CD, sleep in or grab catnaps when you can.You're in the final stretch and you deserve some downtime! If you're go-go-go right up until delivery you'll be depleted by the time your baby arrives, says clinical psychologist Diane Sanford.


Yea.....ok......clearly this is not written for someone with a toddler running rampant. But oh my word I can dream..................................
