I'm stoked that he's reached the point where homebirth is a definite option whenever you go into labor. Celebrate! You made it! Now he just needs to arrive. :3

Ew, van repairs. Cole needs to get his car in for an inspection, and I think it'll need tires and a possible repair. I'm not a car person, but it was one of the more inexpensive repairs... nothing major. I don't care if we put minor things into it, but we can't do major where it has the rust issues. >.>

Thanks again for the vote of confidence. I'm not 100%, but I'm coming around. By the end of the weekend, I'll make sure we have the apartment spotless, and I'll put my focus down on studying this coming week. I'll be prepared, at any rate.

Oh no. I really like sex. xD But my libido has been crap. And we found out that drinking helps that. So we're building it back up. I'm pretty happy about it.

Well... i think it helps that before I got pregnant with Mary ... James and I were kinda having sex like... three times a day. xD i like sex that much. So it's just taking a bit of alcohol to make me remember that it doesn't hurt (i really think it was the condoms.) I'm going to be calling my Doctor and getting birth control, and I think I'm going to not need alcohol soon!!

Chi- You got this. You'll kick it out of the park, Hit it out of the park? Kick it's ass? You know what I mean. You know you know your stuff, and so do your professional supporters. Just think about the people you've already helped and how much you've already done for them. They may be using you as a pawn, but there are people out there who need you, and it's for them (and your little family of love) that you're going through this, not for the puppeteers. You're awesome.

RE: Boobs, I like mine, but I preferred my prebaby boobs. Buuut since there's no going back, may as well love the pair I've got right? ;)

eep, it's later than I thought. Gotta go get the monsters from school <3

Also? Boobs. I don't care for mine. :<

One of my good friends just got a boob job. I (read we: Cole and I... xD) played with them a bit. They're so... odd. Yet squishy. I love squishy things. o.o I think they look epic, but she's going to go for larger ones soon. Brave woman...

Jaz has been on a massive emotional roller coaster... We took the van in only $345 to maintenance and repair yay! We can't pick it up until tomorrow but it will be fixed...

Well the plan was for us to drop off the van and then hit up some of the areas I am finding struggles in finishing readying ourselves for Liam...


We have been discussing getting a bedroom set for months but we have also needed to pay off credit stuff and Ellie needs a bed (cause she doesn't have one at all) and Sean needs a bed (cause his is broken) we all need mattresses. The boys need dressers (Liam at very least)... I am struggling getting the very last bits of home birth stuff because I don't know what bed we'd have by then... I can't start putting Liam's clothes away because we don't have a dresser for him... I feel like I am literally stuck in a non stop loop of stuck.

So anyhow I planned on hitting some used furniture stores in hopes of finding a couple of dressers. Figuring it would be the start of completing SOMETHING... I got the van in and we decided to pick up something to eat since non of us had eaten and it was only 8am we have until 10:30 for Dillon work. We stopped by ihop which my first big mistake. One Ellie has to "potty" everywhere and that can be a 10 to 20 minute excursion then we were trying to stay on a budget so we were having a bit of a dilemma choosing. So we rush eating and get out at 9:30 and I am near tears because I have a stupid appointment at 9:45 one in which I know is going to be all of two minutes for 30+ minutes of waiting. We get out at 10:35 Dillon is already late for work so I run by home to check to see if the mechanic had called. No luck but it is nearer to 10:45 now and I am almost bedside myself that yet another day had passed and we had not accomplished a damn thing... this schedule is BEYOND impossible. Places open here between 8 and 10AM..... And close generally between 5 and 7PM. That gives us a two hour window to make any joint decisions we need to make... And Dillon is more observant then I am when it comes to certain things so I require him in bigger purchases. So after a little while and Dillon being sick to his stomach from torn emotionally to stay with me and responsibly in going to work he decides to stay and we can bust our butts to do what we can. We wait a bit for Ellie to eat lunch and we get a call back on the van which will be done tomorrow. And we booked it... We hit almost every used furniture/ second hand store in town and found one decent dresser set that they were asking waaay too much for. And it was already time to pick up Sean from school... Then we took Sean immediately from the bus to go look at New furniture figuring since we failed at finding anything used we'd see what we could find new. A "shopping mall" furniture store and a warehouse furniture store and 3 more hours later... We bought ourselves a king size bedroom set. And Sean and Ellie something called a genius bed frame and all three new mattresses. I am sick with worry on how much we spent. It really for all of that is not "that" bad but I am freaking out about it.. I have semi solved the dresser problem but I don't entirely like it. We have a VERY tall dresser in our room and one of the kids can inherit it since we will have a set now... But the dresser is so tall. I worry about it toppling so bad... So we'll see what we do I need answers.

But we did solve that we will have a king for delivering Liam unless he comes before Sunday. So we will need to finish buying the prep stuff for a king size bed. But it also means we will need to buy bedding in general for it! I am so mad, upset, worried, sick you name the negative emotion I'm sporting it. I keep trying to tell myself we deserve to sleep on a bed that isn't used to begin with then add 7 almost 8 years of wear and tear on it from us. My bed is for crap... But it doesn't me feel better make me feel better to have spent so much on myself especially because we kind of decided to skimp on the kids. Mostly because they have destroyed so much furniture. I did not want to blow 200+ on a bed/ set only to have to replace it in less then 2 years like we have with the boys...

In short no baby... just crazy... please tell me we deserve a haven to retreat to each night and that not paying off all of our credit th is year will be ok if we can still pay off some... right? I feel so incredibly irresponsible.... =.=

You took some time and money for you. You're allowed to do that once in a while. You need some things for you, so that you feel on top of things and happy. I felt amazing after getting my new mattress and sleeping on it. Sooo much better than the old used mattress we had. I slept better and harder than I had previously, and a more rested pregnant lady is important. :3 Besides, your room will become a bit of a haven where everything is put together the way you want it right? You've got a set! (Damn, I want a set!) so everything will match and be pleasing to the eyes... I'm pro spoiling yourself once in a while. And it's not like you totally neglected the kids! New mattresses etc.
RE: the really tall dresser: get an anchor thing for it. It will attach to the back of the dresser and to the wall and keep it steady, if you don't trust the boys with just having one anchor, get two or three. More support is better than less right?
I've not spent more than $100 on any of the kids dressers, because of how they treat their furniture. I may get them new stuff when they get older, but for now it's totally not worth it since I know it will end up covered in stickers with wood broken in spots etc...they're hard on furniture...which is why I buy them stuff that already has some wear and tear. Then when they wear and tear it some more...I don't feel so bad! So don't you feel bad.

I've never touched fake boobs. Now I want to. >.>

*points up* I second that. You're allowed to take time and money for you once in a while. Anchor sounds like a good idea! Something to stabilize it seems needed though. You don't want to risk it toppling because it would be one of those gut wrenching things if it did. They're itty bitties!

The credit cards will get paid off in time. If it's not this year, let it be next year. Besides, new stuff is needed. View it as maintenance. We're hard on furniture, too. We've had our sectional for only a year (next month), and I can't see it lasting more than another two. /chunky butts and jumping children :3

Re: Boobs. I know. They were epic. 8) The neat thing is that the more they've healed, the more natural they've felt. She's really lucked out because by the time she has the full healing time, she likely won't show a scar. I guess it depends on how her second surgery goes.

In other news, Terra and I are home today. The snowstorm that was supposed to be terrible came, but I can't say it was as bad as the hype made it to be. What was supposed to be an inch of ice caked over 4-8" of snow ended up becoming rain. I cleared the car off this morning (we did indeed get over 4", but it's being melted down already), and it was pretty warm outside all things considered. I just hope it doesn't snap cold, because then we're in an ice rink. xD

I don't mind used furniture usually. Couches in particular. We've gone through... *counts* 4 couches in the almost 8 years Mikes and I have lived on our own o.o... the couch we currently have was from my step dad's house. My mom moved in with him and pretty much took over... Granted his furniture was from the 50s but still... It was his :P so our couch and chair are ugly as heck but still they are solid and still in really good condition. I guess he never used this set it was just a spare.

I actually have anchors for every dresser. I just haven't installed them yet... And many dressers are in front of windows because I fear the kids breaking them and falling out. V.V I will have to see what all we can do.. maybe I can have Dillon install the anchors on the kids dressers tomorrow as a project... the kids need to get their rooms cleaned so they can bring in the beds and such too!

I feel better about the purchase this morning. And after evaluating what we have to work with still. I just normally don't buy stuff for us or for the house without there being a LOT of thought around it. Not that we didn't put a ton of thought into this I had looked around for bedroom sets for months really. And I wound up being right that the set I shared a little while back was the best we could find both price wise and quality. I really like the set a lot.

Oh fake boobies I've never felt fake ones either... now I am curious :P

It's already been an overly busy morning this morning holy cow! Broken dishes, delayed kids getting ready because we paid for the day to let them not wear uniforms. Dang Sean picked the pair of pants that of course doe not fit his butt so it keeps falling. Then we had to finish putting together Valentine's gift type things. It's been crazy... the boys missed the bus so Dillon took all 3 to drop them off at school and I am going to attempt a shower... this was not how I pictured the start to my Valentine's day.

Leo is starting to know his bladder functions.
Like knowing he needs to go.
Yesterday, he pulled off his pants and diaper, peed on himself, THEN called for me.
Omg.

Hey it's a start! Ellie would probably be done or at least close to done if things weren't so frantic. She really seems to get potty now though going out anywhere with her is a pain in the butt. She likes to test each bathroom in each place like 5 times.... I've been pulling back because it's hard for me to take her and squat/bend/ lean to help her....

omg, I totally remember those days with the kids. We'd make sure they would go to the bathroom before leaving the house, and then they would have to go in every single place we went to! Pea sized bladders I tell you! It was horrible when I was alone because 3 kids in one tiny stall...oi. It was a very special time in our family.

PiM- He's getting closer! lol


I told Scott about our fake boob conversation, now he wants to feel some too. xD I don't think I know anyone here with fake boobs though.

xD After the twins I went up to a D cup and I couldn't find any cute bras. I was praying they would reduce back to a c once I finished nursing...and they did. *wipes sweat drop* I don't know what I'd do with boobs any bigger than a D. :x You have my sympathies.
I'm happy with mine. They're a good size for me and if I want them bigger a push up makes them a perfect D and if I want them smaller a sports bra makes them a perfect B. Okay, maybe not perfect. But they're the boobs I got and the boobs I'll keep.

I keep saying that about my belly pooch. But I don't have the drive for it right now. I don't want to wake up earlier than I do, and once I get home from work I want my hour and a half to myself then it's the kids, their after school activities and dinner...and once that is all done I'm ready for bed! I need another me that can go and work out in my place while I do the rest of my life living.

I told myself I wouldn't clean today, but now I've cleaned up the main rooms of my house. *sigh* I did manage to email the people that do our taxes though. So once they email me back I'll be set to go with that.
Hubs is participating in a polar plunge today and a chili cook off. The chili is pretty darn good, and I'm really hoping he comes home before going off to the plunge, I want pictures! They're supposed to dress up in costume for it, and he's going as Link. *fingers crossed*

So today is a full moon... It is suppose to be a major factor in delivering babies... I am 18 days from my due date so I doubt I will be meeting Liam tonight but fingers crossed anyhow... LOL... I have felt weird all day but not really having any signs of labor or prep signs so *le sigh* probably not...

I'm going to hold off on hoping for a little bit still. Gotta make it to at least 38 weeks! 4 more days! Then you can have him whenever you want...er whenever he wants.

It's too cold so the plunge got cancelled. *sigh* It would have been great. Kids got out from school early today so they came home like the whirlwind that they are, left valentines all over the house that I spent all day cleaning and have run down stairs to play in the basement. At least I got them to pick up their backpacks/jackets/boots this time. I just...some days I feel like I'm herding cats.

Oh my gosh herding cats is so right... I totally had a major mothering fail just now... I was waiting my friend to drop off my girl scout cookies when she showed Sean booked it outside to see his friend... And left the door open Ellie took off outside without me being fully aware for a second and then as I saw her reach the gate Sean left open I told Mike to book it after her... I look again and Michael stopped dead as she is heading into the street and a car is coming... I ran, and jumped steps. The second set I jumped my belly threw me off balance and I slammed into Sean who was standing at the curb. Driving him straight into the gutter below head first :( I fell full force on top of him and messed up my knee and skinned the Palm of my hand. This whole time Ellie is IN THE STREET but Michael came and helped get her. Thankfully the car was not like most on this street, it was not booking it down the road and they waited for us to all gather and get back into the house. I feel like total mommy crap now :(

I'd have had the same reaction! And to be fair, your center of gravity has shifted to make this whole running then stopping and jumping out of the way thing more difficult! I'm glad there weren't crazies in the car and you were all able to make it back with as little damage as you did. It could have been far worse, and it wasn't and that's what's important. Feel better <3

I uh...got mad at the kids for being utterly disrespectful and rude, so now they're glaring at me and muttering under their breath about how mean I am because I'm making them clean up their rooms, not just making progress on their rooms, actually cleaning them up. Then they're going to vacuum because damn it I'm sick of being the maid that we don't have. It's not what I should have to spend my day off doing. I still need to sleep before I go into work at midnight and I'm not going to have time for that now. /grumpy

You tell them Mellie! The kids have a MASSIVE job to clean their rooms so that they can come on Sunday and put up the new furniture. It should be "fun"

We need to move old furniture elsewhere too so it can be out of the way as well...

I know I am off center while pregnant but I still feel terrible...
