Boy can you say novel, here is a rundown of the weekends "Events"....... hope I don’t bore anyone to sleep, LOL

Friday ~ Got my nails done (hands & toes) tried a new place for my pedi and she scabbed up my toe by filing my skin & then clipping away to much of my cuticle.... OUCH. Think she may have even caused an ingrown, we will see... guess I wont be going back there!! Co-hosted a Birthday lunch for friend, what was I thinking!! Got a massage that I should have waited and had after my weekend, kinda felt like I "wasted" it. Got into an argument with one of my friends Patty who is co-hosting the Luau Shower on the 2nd. She called me to let me know that there where 2 things on the e-vite that they asked me to send out that needed to be fixed. No biggie I would just add them, the first thing was on the paper invitation it said that if anyone wanted to bring anything to bring and appetizer, easy enough to fix. Then she said that on the paper invite that she put that it was a couples shower... I was pissed and confused as to why she would put this on there without talking to me first. And I told her exactly that. (Bit of a background she has no kids is 40 and dresses/parties like she is 20, we have had some pretty crazy parties at Sandi, the other hosts house where the shower is being held) I went on to tell her that my family is driving 6 hrs. to go to it (I have a 12 year old sister who is staying Easter break with me, oh and what's up with ALL the 12 year old siblings!!) and others that don’t work at the PD that where mailed invitations they all have kids. It’s a baby shower for god's sake not a drunk fest. I didn’t get a chance to tell her that because her husband was on the other line and she would be right back. Called her back 30 min later and left a message still have not herd from her, but I sent an e-mail to those with kids explaining the mistake on the paper invite and let everyone know that it is a family shower and kids where welcome. Whew that felt good to get off my chest. Pulled weeds & planted new plants to make front of the house more pretty for shower. Started at 6 pm and guess I really was getting into it. Lol, I must have looked pretty funny at 9 pm planting a gardenia tree in a container on my front patio.

Saturday ~ Cleaned house for Shower, neighbor girls came down to "help" they are 10 & 12. It was sweet of them but it put me SO far behind because I was so busy supervising them. I finally fibbed to them and told them that I was done and needed to take a shower. My BF Amy the host got to my house 45 min before it was supposed to start. I was still in my PJ's and didn’t get into the shower until 1:30. My neighbor girls came back to help decorate 15 min before the shower I swear they taped and wrapped streamers everywhere that they could ..lol. Shower started at 2, everyone decorated onsies, bibs and hats. My gift to everyone was I had my masseuse come and give everyone 10 min chair massages. There where about 20 people there, didn’t have many presents to open because about 15 of them (plus 5 that couldn’t make it) went in and got us the McClaren Stroller we registered for. Not to sound ungrateful or *****y or anything.... But some of the people that went in on the stroller (my closer friends who I watch there kids a lot, pick them up ect) I just though they would do more than chip in $10 towards a stroller. Am I wrong in feeling this way?? Who knows maybe they are planning on doing something after Payton is here, then I will feel crapy for thinking that!! Got lots of clothes, a couple blankies and some other odds and ends. Only 2 things off my registry witch isn't bad considering we received gifts from 6 different people. Got the cutest little snow suit, but I don’t know what my friend was thinking she got a 0-3 mos. Payton will LOVE wearing it this summer, lol. Still have to go through everything as there are quite a few off season things. Don’t get me wrong I am grateful for what we got and a couple of my friend got us WAY to much, I guess given my crappy week I am just picking apart EVERYTHING !! After presents where done and the crowd started to thin out we did a belly casting. It felt weird, I laid on my back patio table and rolled up a towel to put under my back to help my tummy poke out more. Will post pics later today. Amy stayed the night, it was nice to watch a chick flick and visit, but I *though* she would help put my house back together, silly me!!

Sunday ~ Stupid me decided that it was a good idea to have a garage sale, David was in Tahoe so wasn’t here to help. It really sucked because it was raining on and off all day. I only made $100, after to take away the $30 for the add I placed. At 5 when I closed shop, I sat down finally for about an hour at the PC but when I went to get up I could barely walk my feet hurt so bad. I took of my shoes and my toes/feet where swollen really bad. Laid down the rest of the night it went away on its own. Guess I just over did it. Couldn’t eat or drink anything after 9 pm because I needed to fast before my 3 hr test.

Monday ~ Went to Kaiser first thing at 7:30, couldn’t even brush my teeth or drink any water. I swear I had fur growing on my tongue, tried not to breath on the receptionist or the techs. The drink was twice as bad as the one hr one, guess cause it has twice the sugar...lol. Payton got the hit of sugar about 45 min after I drank it and was putting on quite a show. Then I think he got mad cause he was hungry, tried to tell him mommy wasn’t trying to starve him that the mean Dr. where making her. Got the shakes and felt light headed, didn’t get sick or throw up though. Had a different tech every time and only one did a decent job. My arms are all black and blue, oh and green. The whole thing took 4 hrs, but I got caught up on some reading. Only had 20 min to run home and grab a bite to eat before I had to be at the Elementary school for my Monday yard duty. Got home and wanted to take a nap but my living room was full of all the stuff that was in my garage that I didn’t want people to try to buy. That and I had all the stuff that didn’t sell in the garage sale, so I loaded up the back of the truck to take to goodwill and wouldn’t you know it started to rain. So I threw a tarp over it and decided I would drop it off when the rain stopped. Got everything back out to the garage and tried to put my house back together, ran outta steam and fell asleep at 10.

Tues ~ Finally stopped raining so I went up to the goodwill donation trailer to drop off the stuff, started to rain on my way there. The lady that was working shook her head and rolled her eyes when she saw me pull up. Said she had no room off all of it although the trailer was only 1/4 full. Drove home pissed and threw the tarp back on and this time tied it down so that I could drive all the way across town to the actual goodwill store. Soaking wet I drove the 20 min only to have them tell me they would take everything but the baby items & the rug. They wanted me to get out take off the tarp sort through everything to pick out some items. I laughed and said never mind that I would go to the dump. See what happens when you try to do the right thing. The dump told me that it would cost $80 to dump it, $20 less than I made at the garage sale. I swear I was about to loose it. I went home truck still loaded and decided I would go back to the trailer after it was dark and drop it of so that the lazy lady who didn’t want to actually "work" would have to deal with it. I walked into my house looked at the mess from the shower and went to take a nap. After my 2 hour nap I felt really good so I decided it was a good time to finally finish up out taxes and file them. That the house could wait and getting that big chunk of change back from out taxes was more important. Took a solid 3 hrs but I filed them, it was so hard to be on the PC all that time and not go on the net. Feet started to swell again, but I laid down before they got bad

Wed ~ Went to pick up the closet doors and almost strangled the sales girl when she suggested that I load the 9'x5' doors myself, with an 8 month old. It sucks cause they are now sitting in my garage waiting for the carpet to be installed. My friends husband is supposed to install but is really busy right now. Think I may just pay another installer so that it is done. Finally finished cleaning up the inside of my house from the party including the 10 miles of streamers that I guess the girls thought needed to be taped on (very well) to my track lighting every foot. My vacuum broke just as I started to use it. Good thing we will be getting our taxes back in a week so that I can get my Dyson. Had a sink full of dishes and I despise doing dishes. Noticed that Amy got speckles of plaster on my pergo in the dining room, I am still pretending it is not there. So my crappy weekend spilled right on over and took up most of my week. Now I REALLY need a massage!! Note to anyone who it is suggested to have there shower at there house, DON’T!!

And now as i finish proofing what i typed above i feel so very small, because all the above is nothing compared to what Mandy is going through........

Good morning Ladies,

~Chels - OMG , what a past week you've had! The whole Salvation Army/Goodwill thing has happened to us as well. Why wouldn't they want baby items? They usually sell very good.
Sounds like you spent more on the massages for you friends than they did on your gift. I know what you mean about feeling ungrateful, but when it's something SOOOO important to you and it seems so thoughtless of them it's hard. I remember the clothes thing with ds. Quite a few people got me stuff he'd never wear(like your snowsuit). I mean how hard is it to think about a snowsuit when Spring is almost here!
My SIL/Mother are throwing me a shower again this time. I feel REALLY weird about it since this is my 2nd pregnancy. Everyone keeps telling me not to feel weird because we're having twins so it's different. BUT, it still feels weird. This time around I'm just going to be happy for anyone who attends a 2nd time.
Anyway, hopefully the next few days will be good ones and make up for the past few bad ones!!!
Hang in there,
Alli

[Dar20]

Aw, Chels, don't feel small. Some days/weeks.. we just have such a bad time of it and it all seems to dump on us at one time. I hate times like that. Nothing goes right.

What a rough weekend. I hope you try to take it easy from here on out. I know exactly what you mean about overdoing it and not even realizing it. You know how I've hurt myself over and over again trying to do stuff I really shouldn't be. Make an effort to clear your calendar.. and probably book another massage! Do they have you lay on your side, or do they have a table with a hole in it?

Mandy, I hope the u/s goes well today.

Alli, I think it's cool you're having another shower! I mean, especially since you're going to need girl stuff this time around! I forget, although I think you've answered.. are you having a planned c/s? Not to be a downer or anything, but I correspond with my cousin often, and she had an emergency c/s after attempting vaginal delivery, but still lost one of her babies in delivery. I guess that always weighs on my mind when I think about someone with twins.

I tried not to drink anything after I got home last night, except I had a glass of milk with dinner. I think it may have helped me get a better night's sleep.. I only woke up once at 2:30 to pee, then got up again with the dogs at 6:30. Woo! Not bad! Now we'll have to see what that does to the swelling, though.

I hope Emily's doing okay!

Oh, and ChristieJ checked in on the Losin' the Baby Fat thread last night if anyone is interested (remember, she lost her baby in January and had to be induced to deliver it).

[GoJackets]

Good Morning!

Just wanted to check in on you ladies! I hope Mandy gets some good news today. I love the name Spencer Cole!!!!!!

Chelsea - What a wild weekend! You going to be up for a few more like that?

Alli - a twin shower sounds like so much fun!!! I can't wait to hear about it!!!

Darlene - how are you feeling? Things shifting around down there, or are they about the same? I am drinking my water to keep the swelling down.....even at night....so I am peeing quite a few times during the evening....but I think I am sleeping better.....in between peeing of course!

This should be a pretty tame weekend for me. I have to pick up a bridesmaids dress that I am no where close to fitting in. I have to be in a wedding in August.....so I have some motivation for losing weight after the baby gets here.

[allibaba]

~Dar -Yes, we are having a scheduled c/s (hopefully). I had a c/s with ds after 43 hours of labor after my water broke, I was only at 4. I hope and pray everyday that things will go well. It is a whole new set of circumstances when there are two in there. My cousins wife had twins through IVF and the pregnancy was a nightmare right from the start. She ended up having them at 27 weeks and one died later that night. The other one is still alive but SEVERELY handicapped. I worry about all these things . At least I have had a healthy pregnancy thus far.

~Mandy - hoping for great news today

~Dena - OMG talk about adding stress! The threat of a bridesmaid dress hanging over your head ! If you plan to nurse, that will help with some of the weight coming off, you'll be amazed at how much weight you'll lose before you even leave the hospital.

BBL - Hope everyone has a good day

Besides that pressure I was feeling the other day, which has subsided, nothing going on. I have this fear that, now that we've selected a date, she might want to come even earlier! I'm okay with having a week and a half to prepare, but she can stay safely tucked away until then! I guess, technically, I'm ready, but still..

That reminds me, I meant to ask Martha.. are you dialating at all?

[chels_hoff]

Thanks for the hugs, and glad I have you ladies to talk to!! You really are the only ones that I feel truly understand !!

Kim ~ So sorry about all the crap with your brother. My sister is also completely opposite of me, and is pulling a lot of stuff right now. She moved in with my parents in November. She has 2 boys 6 & 2, they have 2 different dads one is in prison for the 3rd time. The other is in and out of jail. She is hooked on prescription meds, and wigged out a few weeks ago pulling a butcher knife on my dad in front of my 12 year old sister, her kids, my grandma (who is 88 and also lives there) and the piano tuner... yes the piano tuner.. LOL. I know what is feels like to want to help like I did 3 years ago when I let her move in with us. The stories of all the stuff she has pulled goes on and on. My whole family is to the point where the are ready to wash there hands of her. If you ever need to talk im me......

Michelle, Sarah, Dena & Dar ~ Thanks for the compliments on my artsy fartsy belly pics I posted yesterday. I like the BW but there is something about the color, like Dena said there is a certain contrast or "glow" about is that makes it more, I don’t know the word I am looking for!!?? Will post them again so those who didn’t see them don’t have to go back to yesterdays thread.

Where the heck is Martha.... Martha oh Martha where are you?? we are missing you!!!

Alli ~ Now that you mention it I DID spend more on the massages, oh well I always have be a giver....LOL. Glad to hear you are getting a shower I think that EVERY pregnant woman deserves something, especially if you are having twins!!

Dar ~ Oh another massage, is that a direct order from you? I was going to have another on the !st right before my next shower but maybe I should have one sooner!!

Dena ~ Bite your tongue girl!! I DO NOT want another week like that!! I meet my parents 1/2 way on Sat (about 4 hrs round trip), and Kylie my 12 year old sister (the red head) is staying the week with us. She needs to get away. I only have Megan on Wed, I tried to get the whole week off to spend with my sis. Thursday we are going up to Santa Cruz just the 2 of us to stay the night in a cottage on the beach. Hopefully I will get a bit of R&R !!

Off to get Mega-doodle then we are going to Home Depot, working in my garden always makes me happy!!

YES! LOL... I feel like I need another one. I had one on Saturday, as well, but 2 hours at Target afterwards with DH totally negated any good effects from it.

I personally like the one with color. As you say, there's a glow to it. It really draws the eye to the front of your belly.

Alli, like I said, I didn't mean to be a downer. Your little ones have done so great so far, and with a scheduled c/s, you'll save them that stress.

[gilbabe75]

Hey popping in to say hi.

Nothing new here except I swear this child is pushing down as hard as he can. I feel like I'm 10 wks farther than I am. I guess that happens with the 3rd.

The Dr. told me yesterday..."You know you will really be tired and drained fast with this pregnancy since you have these other 2 kids."

I was like DUUUUUUUHHHHHHH!

This is after he gets my kids all wound up.

Good thoughts Mandy.

Sorry no personals. I'm just blech today.

[Dar20]

Hey, Becca. Just sending some your way. Seems like you've just had a blah week all around?

I came here to post (again, I know.. all I ever do now is post on LCF, I think.. I'll probably have withdrawal when baby comes) because I feel like such a ******.. very low, and didn't know who else to turn to. I told my DH, and he tells me that yes, I do come across as a ****** and don't think about what I say before I say it. So, obviously, DH is not help.

Well, we told all the grandparents back in Dec. that we'd rather not have anyone stay at the house the first couple weeks. I stressed that part.. the first couple weeks. My reasoning, which I stated, was that I'd rather not play hostess, and no matter how anyone tries to tell me not to, I still feel the need. If someone is staying under my roof, they are my guest, no matter what. I figured I didn't want the added stress of just getting to know baby on top of being hostess.

Fast forward to this cryptic e-mail I get from my MIL this morning. She says that on Friday, the 29th (baby will be about 3 1/2 weeks old by then), they plan to come in. I figured this meant the whole weekend, right? So I keep reading, and she says something about "then on Sunday we'll come back over for a visit before our flight". Um, what? Turns out they are flying into Orlando (which is cheaper, so makes sense) and staying in Orlando. And they'll be at Disney all day Saturday with friends! And when I asked her about it, her response was that it was what I asked, and they wanted to respect that.

And on top of that, my mother is now staying with us for 1 1/2 weeks. She didn't give me the option, really, she just said "this is what I'm doing". And believe me, I appreciate it. DH doesn't understand that my mom staying is different than the in-laws. So, he thinks I insulted his parents by 1) asking them not to stay then 2) having my mom stay.

MIL assures me this is not the case, but I still feel really really low right about now. And DH is upset that his parents will be in Orlando, not here.

[gilbabe75]

Dar...if MIL understands DH should too.

Explain to him that a girl needs her Mom when she has a baby.

Men don't need their mom's and wives don't need a MIL that doesn't do things the way they do.

Plain and simple.

Sorry.

[blueyedgrl]

Hi Girls~

I don't have long right now, but I wanted to pop in really quick.

Thanks to everyone who was asking about me!

Reilly Grant was born on Wednesday, March 23 @ 6:01am. He weighed 8lbs, 4oz & is 20.5 inches long. We were released from the hospital yesterday afternoon & will have family here all weekend, so I will try to get back in here at the beginning of the week to post again.

Hope everyone here has a great weekend!

I hear you.. and I think MIL knows this, too. It's DH that doesn't get it at the moment. I asked MIL if they could cancel their hotel and stay with us. I can handle them for a couple days by then.

Sometimes I wonder about my DH.. he gets more ******y than I do sometimes!

[chels_hoff]

Congratulations Emily & welcome Reilly Grant, cant wait to read your birth story!!

Becca ~Sorry you are having an icky day, hang in there and fell free to vent...LOL, i sure did!! You know we are dying to see pics!!

Oh Dar, big *~*hugs*~* going out to you the whole family visiting/staying birth thing is such a headache. I would tell hubby that if he feels that way that he should talk to his mom, sounds like you are the middle man and quite possibly a scape goat for MIL wanting to stay in Orlando?? It may sound bad but i am glad that David does not really have a relationship with his mother.

Hey girls...just popping in really quickly before I go to pick up my car from the mechanic...AGAIN!! LOL

Well, I am kinda bummed...My mother had an emergency with my stepfathar and wasn't able to make the trip down this weekend. So besides not seeing my mother for another week or two, I don't get to go register tomorrow and my Easter plans are screwed up. Now we get to go to my in-laws. Yippee!

On the up side, I get another week with my doggie!

So, I started packing little odds and ends today. I have more stuff than I thought I did. I ran out of boxes. Guess I need some more.

Chelsea ~ Phew...you had a crazy week!! I definitly think another massage is in order!! Also, I too like the color picture. The BW one is kinda cold...where the color one is warm and comforting.

Dar ~ Sorry about all the issues with the grandparents. I am a bit nervous too becuase my mother is coming down two weeks before I am due and staying for a month after!! I wonder who she is staying with...??

blueyedgrl ~ Congrats and can't wait to hear your birth story!!

Sorry if I missed anything big...

Also hoping Mandy is getting some well deserved good news today!! I hope she checks in soon!

BBL

[tammeli]

Congrats, Emily!!! Hope everything is going well!

[GoJackets]

Major bummer, Amy!!! I would be soooo disappointed!!! Glad you are looking at the bright side of things.

Darlene - Sounds like the in-laws are going to kill two birds with one stone. I wouldn't feel bad for them at all. Rather than make two trips, they are going to see their grandbaby and their friends. Good for them!!

I am so with you on the not wanting to be a hostess thing.....but I wonder....after it is all said and done....when we look back, will we even remember or care who was what or where? I don't think grandparents will mind either. Once they see the baby, I think the rest is just history.

[heather123]

Congratulations Emily!!!!!I'm glad you and little Reilly are home!

Chels-Boy what a crazy week! I think I like the color picture, they all look good though!

Dar-I think you will be glad your mom is staying with you, esp if you have the c-section. And with your MIL....just b/c you asked her not to "stay" at your house, dosen't mean you wanted her to spend their time there at DISNEY WORLD! What is up with that? Will they be back to visit soon after?

Becca-Sorry your having a slumpy week. Maybe you'll feel better when the weather gets nice. Are your kiddo's ready for the Easter Bunny to come?

Amy-Sorry your mom wasn't able to make it and that you have to spend the holiday with the inlaws. Luckily, DH's family dosen't celebrate Christmas or Easter so we always get to be with my family.

Mandy-Hope everything is Ok, we're all thinking about you sweetie-please check in soon.

Hi Alli!

Well, I just got back from my OB appt and my cervix still has not softened, but she said I'm dialated to a 1. I have been taking 3 evening primrose oil/day PLUS inserting 2 vaginally at night. It's so gross too, everytime I have to get up to go potty everything is all slimy, blech. I go in next Wednesday for an u/s to check the fluid levels.

We are staying at my mom and dad's this weekend, I won't be back until Monday evening. Mya is SO ready for the Easter Bunny to come b/c she knows that after the Easter Bunny comes, baby brother will come next. We've been doing stages, first it was Christmas, then her B-day, then Easter, THEN the baby. Each has been 6 weeks apart, a very long time for a 3 year old!

Have a good weekend everybody!

[heather123]

I finally took some belly shots today. I look like a cow!
