no such luck, baby is still warm and cozy! :) we went to lowes last night and bought a new window for our bathroom remodel - got dinner - went for a walk earlier, before our shopping spree - and I was so tired when we got home! My tummy really rests on my legs now. Walking up stairs is kind of hard since the belly gets in the way. haha...so we didn't get home last night till 8:30 and Rachel was a little monster. We bought the window and Tim realized he didn't get his 20% off that he was supposed to so then it took them another 30-40 minutes to figure it out and fix it. Meanwhile, I was sitting in the car with a screaming Rachel. Not fun. Hey, did I tell you we're getting a dog in a few months? After the baby is born of course - and NOT a puppy. I don't want to deal with all the pee and chewing. I want a nice, trained dog. :) Tim says we can get a small dog - one that's hairless and poop free he says. haha...That was nice of Julie to clean for you - I can't stand anyone else doing my cleaning - like you said, no one does it right but me. :) I need to find something to do - I'm so bored!!! I need a project that I can physically do and one that won't take forever to get done so I feel like I've accomplished something. So far all I do is walk and shop. :) Well...got to go keep an eye on Rachel since TIm is trying to build a table for my dad - a coffee table - for a Birthday gift.

How much longer is that kid going to stay in there?!? Do you have a Hoover, maybe you can suck him out?? LOL. I know your pain when it comes to screaming kids. It is no fun. Rachel had other ideas for the evening it sounds. We took Madalyn to the Zoo this morning and the weather was great. A few minutes after we left it started to rain... perfect timing. Maddy needed to do something fun. Now she is napping and Jimmy and I get a break for about an hour and half. After that he has to get Nathaniel's room finished like he promised. I talked to the furniture store again yesterday because I still don't have my hutch or the new crib side. They have the side in, but were sent the wrong hutch, again! I asked them to forget the hutch and get me the nightstand. The room is just too little for a looming hutch. I like the nightstand idea better. Also, I guess the nightstand is about $100 more expensive than the hutch, but they said that since there have been so many mistakes, they would just give it to me. That makes the total about $3000! and we only paid $1300!! I am very happy about that, but I still want my stuff. Well, Jimmy is waiting for me upstairs so we can watch some TV and take a nap, so I'd better go. Have a great day!

I was wondering if you had ventured out to the zoo or not, guess you did! I baked banana bread and potato salad today and got an a major kitchen cleaning deal. Bleach and everything! :) Rachel is still asleep - Tim is working on that table...I take breaks every now and then to rest my fat body....what to do next??? :) I just want to cook everything right now! Dinner is chicken alfredo...I want to bake some cookies too but they are a lot of work. I have this awesome choc.chip oatmeal cookie recipe that is to die for - but it makes a million cookies and I'm not sure I'm ready to bake that much. :) Maybe some blueberry muffins or...my rhubarb pie since we have a ton of it already! I've frozen a bunch and it is multiplying like crazy out in the yard! :) You really got a good deal on the bedroom furniture! Wow, lucky! My stuff cost maybe $50?? Free bed, used dresser that I refinished...cheap! :) When they get their own rooms I'll invest in some nicer stuff but for now - it works and I like it. Have fun with your nap! We're gonna chill tonight and watch a movie and eat popcorn and ice cream when Rachel goes to bed. If she ever gets up that is!! Oh, a Hoover - nice idea. :)

Yes the zoo was great, and Maddy had a wonderful time. I like Point Defiance Zoo because it is small and you can see everything in a couple of hours, so it works well for morning trips and you still get a nap in. We always get a season pa__s, it's only $52, and pays for itself in less than three trips. Have you been? They just opened the new kids zone today and it was really cool for kids. You sure do have a lot of energy!! I don't want to do anything. I definitely don't want to cook, so we had teriyaki for dinner. You are nesting like a mad woman. I remember that stage when I was pregnant with Maddy. I just haven't gotten there yet with this one. Jimmy didn't get to the baby's room today. He really wanted to take Maddy to the park. He said the room will be done before he goes back to work on monday. Hey, nothing wrong with getting some great furniture and refinishing it. I just don't have the patience for it and Jimmy doesn't have experience with wood working. I wouldn't have what I have if it wasn't for the stores mistakes... I got really lucky. I would not have spent that amount by any means. Ice cream sounds good tonight. Maybe I'll send Jimmy to Baskin Robbins? I love their cherries jubilie. We didn't wake up from our nap until 5pm, so that means that Maddy won't be ready for bed until about 9pm. That sortof sucks, but if we try to put her to bed sooner she won't go for it and she will continue to get up. Oh yeah, I thought you would like the Hoover idea!!! LOL. Keep me updated. :o}

I slept better last night than the past several. Jimmy has been upstairs all day working on the baby's room, and I have been cleaning downstairs, and trying to finish the laundry. As soon Jimmy is done with the painting I am going to put Maddy down for a nap and go to Costco. Today is the last day to use the coupons and I need a lot of the things that are on sale. I also need to go to the grocery store. I am sore, but it is manageable. How are you doing? I have to go clean the powder room. See ya!

well, I'm tired as usual but doing ok. sick of people being shocked that he isn't here yet. :) I thought about the plunger too - haha - plunge him right on out! Rachel is trying to take a nap but not being very successful. She's been playing in there for a while. First there was a poopy diaper that had to be changed - after I had already changed her when I put her down. :) Now she's just playing. She's been like that lately with naps and bed time - resisting it a lot. I need a nap today myself! I think I'm gonna go lay down now. Catch up with ya later!

Put Maddy down for a nap at about 2pm and went to Costco and the grocery store. I am so sore and tired. I am going to go upstairs and see how the room looks since Jimmy finished painting the bead board. Next weekend he needs to paint the base, chair rail and the ceiling. The main part was the bead board. I didn't get very far with the laundry earlier because Maddy wanted to play, so I still have that to do. I am wiped out. Have a nice night.

well I only got about a 45 minute nap. I'm having a hard time sleeping these days. We went for a walk again last night and then had dinner and watched a movie. It was nice sitting my b___t on the couch but Tim played the extended edition of the movie and it was 3 hours long!!! It was 11:30 before I got to bed and then was up till 1am. I had to take my tylenol to get any sleep! I think we're going to head out to Costco here in a bit - I forgot to pick up a few things last week. Maybe this time I'll make a list. : ) Hey, we finally got our rebate check back from Chicago! yay!!! It's all taken care of now, I'm so happy! Well it's due date and NO BABY still....hahaha...rachel is kissing her baby doll in the mouth and kind of slobber sucking her face. It's pretty funny. Hope she's that nice to her brother! :)

Maybe tomorrow is your day??? Maddy must have been really tired last night, we put her down at about 7:30pm and I had to wake her up this morning at 9am!! I woke up at 8:30am and actually got to watch the news in peace for awhile. We had a shower and didn't get downstairs for breakfast until 10:30am. My fear is that she won't nap because she slept in so late. I have to tell you that I am really angry with Jimmy this morning. Neither of us smoke, but he used to when he was in the Coast Guard. Anyway, the past few weeks he has been under a lot of stress at work and I just had a feeling that something was up. Friday he left his computer bag at home by accident and I had to bring it to him. Well, before I put it in the car I had this feeling that I should go through it for some reason. I didn't because I really thought it would be an invasion of privacy and that it wasn't necessary. Fast forward to last night... Jimmy had some work to do on his computer, so he stayed downstairs for a bit to get some work done, and I went upstairs to watch some TV and put my feet up. This morning his beer bottle was sitting on the end table by the chair, so I picked it up. Like always I took it over to the sink to dump out any remaining liquid and then I was going to put it in the recycle. When I turned the bottle upsidedown all this thick coffee ground looking stuff came out. IT WAS CHEW SPIT!!! I was so angry, and still am. I called him at work and asked him, "so, where do you keep your chew?!" He paused and then had the nerve to say, "what?" It was like he was going to try and deny it. Then he fessed up and told me IT IS IN HIS COMPUTER BAG! I knew I should have looked. I knew something was up. I don't get it. we live a pretty healthy lifestyle, with the exception of some fast food now and then. I have caught him with this stuff a few times before and this is getting really old. Once he told me where it was I just hung up on him. I am so disgusted with him I wouldn't even know what to say if he called back. He hasn't called because I know he is afraid to, and he should be. I am not going to tollerate being lied to anymore. I don't know what I am going to do yet, but I can promise you that he won't like it at all, and that's not my problem. What I do know is that I am not supporting a man who contracts oral cancer and has to have half his jaw and tongue removed!! Not to mention kissing is completely out of the question. This IS going to stop immediately.

oh wow I'm so sorry. I hate being lied to more than anything. I could tolerate tim chewing or smoking more than him doing it and hiding it from me. He's a cigar smoker, which doesn't really bother me - but it's usually only in the summer and not very often. I figure he can get cancer from anything - and a cigar every now and then is the least of my concerns. BUT, lying about it and hiding it are another story. I'd give yourself some time to calm down and then have an honest conversation with him, haha, about honesty. :) Personally I think that's more important than the chew issue - even though that is of course, important. Good luck with that and keep me posted! Hope Maddy takes a nap for you! Rachel has been an angel today - about ready to put her down. She's been hugging me and giving me kisses all day. :) Maybe she knows mommy is going to be busy pretty soon. Ok - gonna go put her down for now!

I'm better now. Sorry to have off loaded on you. Jimmy and I talked a bit before his next meeting and I feel a little better. He feels awful, as he should. I can't stand any sort of tobacco use and I can't help it. I am really unhappy with the deception. He swears it was only twice this time. He asked me to get him some of that Nicorette gum. I have no problem with that if it means no chew or cigarettes. This is really a hot b___ton issue for me. Just about everyone else in my family smokes and I hate it, Jimmy's family too. Anyway, he feels bad and has thrown it away. Hopefully this is the last of it. I am glad Rachel is being so good for you today. Maddy is finishing her fruit and then I am taking her up for a nap as well.

hey, don't feel bad. :) I'm glad things are better now! I dated a guy once who quit smoking and then started up again without telling me - and it made me really mad. I'd much rather someone be honest with me about how hard it was to quit than to hide it. Rachel is still asleep - I took about an hour nap and I heard her wake up shortly. I think she rolled over on her elmo book with the b___tons on it and she played for a bit but then went back to sleep. :) yay! A few more minutes to myself. All I want to do though is sleep or lay down and do nothing. My energetic spurt is over- back to the tired stage!

ok, my turn to whine. My cousins who lost their baby at 5 months -well my sister just told me that she won't be around on Saturday if I have the baby cuz she's going to the funeral. I said, what funeral because no one even told me about it. I don't know why it annoyed me so much but it did. Not only is Saturday the day he'll probably be born with my luck, but my sister will be 3 hours away and my whole entire family except my dad will be there. They all pretty much live in the Yakima area. Now I'm all cranky thinking no one will be around for ME. I feel so selfish too - I mean, they lost a baby. How b___hy can I be?? It just really annoyed me and now I feel bad being excited when they lost a baby near the time I'm having one. :( I'm kind of surprised my sister is going - I mean, she didn't even go to their wedding. I'm the one who goes to all that stuff. I suppose it's cuz she lost a baby too. Teh baby before Lizzy died 2 months after he was born - he wasn't even expected to survive birth because of so many complications. Anyways, that's another long story. I just needed to get that off my chest. Tim's sympathetic reply was "well I'll be here for you honey." :)

That sucks, but what can you do? I will just have Jimmy when I deliver too, so I know how you feel. All of my family lives over an hour away, and my mom will be here at the house with Madalyn. Julie was going to be there for the birth, but they are going camping the day I am supposed to be induced. You are allowed to b___h, but just to me and Tim. I wouldn't say anything to your family if I were you, what if it got back to your cousin and his wife, that would be awful. I am a bit bitter that no one will be coming for me, but there is nothing I can do about it. I'll come and see you!

I have had so much sugar today that I feel sick. All I have wanted were snickerdoodles and Sierra Mist. What is wrong with me?!?! It is 5:30pm and I don't even have a plan for dinner. Maddy got up from her nap at 5pm and had a snack, so that buys me about 45 minutes to figure it out. I'd better go.

yeah I know. I am not really mad at them or anything - I'm just feeling sad and depressed for myself. :) haha...well...I better make dinner and bathe the kid!
