It's official. I am done work at Red River for just over a year. It's hard to believe that May 26th has arrived. I've been waiting for May 26th FOREVER, and now, here it is. So, what did I do to celebrate? First, put abi on the bus to school. Then, sat on the couch had breakfast, read the paper on-line, had a nap.
I'm 38 weeks and one day pregnant today.
May 26th has been my "do nothing and don't feel guilty about it" day...and I've done just that. Hopefully baby gives me the rest of the week to get everything ready for her arrival. I still don't have the crib picked up; abi's baby clothes are still down in the crawl-space in garbage bags; I still haven't searched/found the receiving blankets (I'm pretty sure we gave them all away); the room does have a bassinet (thank you Dawn), and the change table...it's just still full of my clothes and the spare bed.
The laundry pile is up to ears and the house is a mess...yes, still a mess even though I finally found a cleaning crew...who are going to be fired after the baby arrives and I get one more vacuum and bathroom cleaning for $90, done! So, do you know anyone who has some spare time on their hands, AND actually likes to clean houses, and doesn't steal or snoop? If so, send them my way...maybe I could fire the cleaning crew earlier and get a better job done.
The emotions are running high. I think in a span of 10 minutes I went from laughing with Billy, to getting severely pissed off at him, to crying my eyes out and apologizing for being such a lousy wife!! I have NO patience at all...and if you thought I didn't have any before, then you've seen nothing honey! Poor Abi and Billy...the mess they have for a mom/wife right now ;) Of course, in about an hour I won't feel the least bit sorry for them because of some hormonal mood swing. The longer this baby waits, the better it is for me to get ready, but the worse it gets for everyone else as my moods and emotions fly in every direction without warning!!
I've put on a lovely 46 pounds...four of which were put on last week...four pounds in ONE WEEK...AND apparently babies don't really grow much from this point on...so I PUT ON FOUR POUNDS..me and me alone!! I guess that chocolate bar a day thing wasn't the smartest idea huh? Or the bowl of ice-cream a day....or the milkshakes...or candy feasts...Man, I'm gonna have a hard time taking this weight off!
Abi is doing wonderful. Wonderful for her that is! She has started to act up a bit, and I've been too stressed and worn out to deal with it appropriately! Instead I just yell and she just slams doors!! I see my future here already for when she is 13 and wanting to go out with boys to a movie (movie my ass, I was 13 once too!!)...
Now for the latest Abi story:
She lost her firt tooth on Thursday, and is still really excited about it. Of course she thinks that once her adult teeth come in, that means she's an adult and can do what she wants...wait till she finally figures out that a) you aren't an adult at 12 and b) it sucks being an adult. She lookes really cute though! I would of course take a picture and post it, but the batteries were taken out of the camera to work the toy that she bought with the money she got from the "toothfairy"...me and the toothfairy have had a little chat about the amount of money left behind:)
Do you remember how much your toothfairy left you? I was always given a quater. I would then take that quater and put it in my piggy bank. I knew that a quater per tooth wasn't going to get me much, but added to my allowance, over time, I would be able to buy that red mountain bike!! Then there is abi...and her daddy:
Abi lost her tooth at school, which is what she wanted because you get a really cool tooth holder! A week before she lost her tooth, Ethan (one of her at the moment best-buds as long as he does what she says friends) lost his. He got a toy from the toothfairy. Abi wanted a toy. Mommy, daddy and abi talked about what the toothfairy brings over dinner. Mommy told her that more than likely all she would get would be a looney...which she could add to her piggy bank and save. But abi wanted a toy.
Mommy and abi had their usual "get your butt to bed" argument that night and mommy was way tooooo tired to stay up, so as soon as abi's eyes closed, mommy's eyes closed. Then, at 6am abi comes storming into the room with a FIVE DOLLAR BILL!!! Mommy had a conversation with the "toothfairy" about leaving five dollars. But, it doesn't end here...no, see abi wanted a toy...so daddy took her shopping after school...abi ended up with a toy that cost $11...so basically, abi's first tooth cost us $11. Thank goodness for friends who told abi that you get $5 aka $11 for the first tooth only...after that, it's a buck.

I can't believe you only have 5 days left! I'm so excited for you! It makes me glad that someone else has only taken 2 weeks off before their baby arrives as well...I'm done work on August 20...and the baby is due on September 1st! friends here think I'm insane but they've taken 4 or 5 weeks off...but I'd rather spend the time with the baby when he's born! Thanks for the update! x
