I second that notion Erin! I keep reminding myself, only three more weeks .... only three more weeks..... but it doesn't really help all that much. I watched that movie on the plane - Loved it!! I think today monkeyb___t in there must have about six arms and legs, seems like she is kicking and punching in every direction! All at the same time! You poor gals down there with that heat. You are gonna melt. You said your parents have a pool though right? That just may be your lifesaver! You can send me up a couple of degrees if you like. It is only ahigh of 15C which would be about 58 there?? And that is our high for the week!! Gross. Any big plans for the b-day on Friday??

hi ladies. thank you all for the support. I had to tell him bye yesterday and it was so hard. His little boy was walking around with a pic of him and daddy and saying "dada" and it just made me lose it. I love him so much. I have a doc apt tomorrow, do you think she'll check me with all the stress i've been under? just curious. i was having contractions and pain like crazy monday night. my husband and everyone kept telling me to sit all day yesterday. Geez, when will this pain go away?

morning mommies. danielle, again I'm so sorry. I know there's nothing we can say to make you feel better but we're here for you and are thinking about you :)

we went to the doc last night - I actually lost a pound since 2 weeks ago so that part wasn't bad. casey is head down so that is good too. nothing eventful. I'm so miserable in this heat. only 1 month left of work for me!! oh it'll be so nice to veg out for 2 weeks until casey gets here, hopefully she doesn't come too late and I have to sit on my a__s and wait for her for a month!

Hello everyone... Sorry I wasn't on much yesterday. My body is just drained. I have no energy anymore. This morning I feel like I have been hit by a mack truck.... I can barely keep my eyes open and I even had a good nights sleep. Oh well I guess. On lunch i am going to close my door and turn off my lights and take a nap. I keep a pillow and blanket in here for just these kind of days.

Morning ladies! Danielle, we are thinking of you honey and sending you lots of love from all across the country. We are here anytime you need us.

thank you so much girls. you can see a pic of my brother on my myspace page. he was awesome and thats his little boy with him. I truly believe he is watching over us, my son pushed their tv, a 20 inch i believe off the dresser and sissy was right there, and if fell right beside her. it could have fell on her so easily. now i believe i know why i had a miscarriage last summer, so this baby could bring some amount of joy to the family after such a loss. you girls are awesome. its getting incredibly hot and humid here and its miserable. i hope you ladies are staying cool and comfy.

Hello my fellow miserable friends! I was just thinking how this morning's cup of coffee didn't get me very far. I was so emotional yesterday. I'm tired of feeling like I can't just sit and relax! I went home early from work yesterday because my appts didn't go through and so I put on P.S. I love you. Well, I couldn't sit. I was like what if my mom comes home and here I am sitting on the couch. So I got up and dusted and cleaned the mirrors and did the dishes. My husband called and I just lost it. He keeps telling me to just stop, but I can't. There is always stuff to clean at that house, always a counter to wipe, always a dish to do, especially when my sister's kids are there like they are 2-3 days outta the week. It's frustrating because my sister kinda takes advantage of my mom and now me with watching her kids and I can't very well clean up after my kids and leave the other kids mess for my mom. And don't get me wrong, my mom isn't b___hing at all about me not doing things around the house. I just don't want her to be able to I guess. But literally, except for yesterday when I sat for a bit to watch that movie (which I never got to finish), I don't sit, like sit to relax, until 8:30 at night. Sorry, I'm throwing myself a very large pity party right now. Kinda silly when there are much bigger things to worry about. Anyways, Danielle, I once again give my condolences to you and your family, although I cannot simply imagine what you are going through. Please do take time to maybe do some relaxation breathing or take a slow walk just to chill a bit. You are carrying precious cargo love.

Ekay - I can relate to the feeling of always having stuff to do and not feeling liek you can sit and relax. That is one thing that really sucks I am finding while preggers.You are a super-mom I am convinced of it. Keeping up with your three kiddos, a husband out of town, the cleaning of your mom's house after how many kids, and working to top it all off. Wow! I should be thankful that it is just me and hubby that I feel liek i have to do everything for. Why don't you take a mini-vacation and come up here to Canada where it is cold and miserable and we will watch PS I love you together!! :)

LOl! Yeah the whole car thing sounds so familair! I currently have a 2001 Saturn with 160,000 km on it and I owe nothing on it. I have a line of credit that I was planning to use to purchase a different vehicle that way, while on mat leave I ahve a little flexibility with the monthly payments as apposed to a fixed car loan. So here I find a really nice small SUV in immaculate conditon that is a 2000, so only a year older than the car Iahve right now and it only has 40,000km on it. Damn thing has hardly been driven - (Gabbi it is an Xterra,so you would have a good idea about it!) ANyway they only want 11,000 or OBO for it and he thinks I should be buying something a lot newer. But he doesn't get that I am trying really hard to be sensible with the purchase that I HAVE to make and make it as easy as possible for us BOTH to make sure that the payments are do-able while on mat leave and while he is going to be the one supporting all three of us from now on. At least with a purchase in that price range I can cover the monthly payment on my mat leave cheques and not stress about it every month. BUT he thiks otherwise. But if it was his truck, I really wouldn't have awhole lot of say. Frusterating. GRRRRRR

erin I feel like that too, guilty for sitting on the couch. mike does almost everything around the house since I've been pregnant, the ONLY thing he doesn't do is cook and I barely do that lately. so sometimes when he pulls in the driveway and I'm sitting down, I jump up and do something! I know it's silly and he would never say something about me sitting down, but I still feel like a slacker.

I am right with you guys on the cra thing. Jeremy is wanting a newer truck. He currently has a blazer w/ no a/c. Which sucks. We maybe qable to get 3-4k out of it... But with what he makes it would leave me most likely paying the note. I just paid off my tahoe in dec and my payment was $450 ( i bought it new on a 4yr loan- very good deal) and its laoded to teh top with everything u could ever want. well i guess since I have a nice vehicle he thinks he should too.. and i agree to a point but he is on my back everyday. emailing me listing and pictures of some things. I have told him i am not doing anything till Mason is here and our house is out of our name ( which hopefully will be soon)... But guys just dont realize. I mean I could come back for mat leave and them say see ya- like i thought they was going to do when i was 2-3 months preggo. His mom never taught him how to manage money and now i ahve to teach him.... fun....

mike is totally opposite, he has tight pockets :) I'm the frivilous one in the relationship. mike buys NOTHING for himself. If I didn't buy stuff for him I have no idea what he'd be wearing or doing !!! we did just get 2 new cars, but we needed them and could afford them so that doesn't count!

Alicia - you hit it right on the head. No money management skills. Hubby has always worked pipeline construction and made good money and used it for whatever he wanted, but now, the whole married and soon to be father role kinda puts a damper on that kind of thing. I mean he has done well, and our house we just paid off this spring, so we are mortgage free, but I think that makes him think he has more to just go and play with. Me on the other hand, always worried about trying to put some away for savings and I always feel I am harping on him about it. He thinks nothing of going and b__wing 6k on a new quad to play with while he is home, but then freaks out when it doesn't look liek they are going to go back to work until a month later than they thought and he gets all stressed about money. THen I get stressed. But now with baby coming, I am gettingreally stressed about it and I always try to tell myself that there is no need to get worked up over money as it is not worth it, but sometimes it is so hard not get frusterated with him

well mike is a financial advisor/a___lyst for a living so I guess we can attribute that to him being responsible :)

Gabbi - I am sure that Mikes career absolutleyu plays a role in him being so responsible!! Which is great!! :) Maybe I should send Wyatt down to have a beer with him and Mike can financially advise him!! :) Lol!!
