he was cold
Colt got sick the other night at mom and dad's house. We gave him a bubble bath in the sink and then put clean jamies on. This is what he does after the bath when he's cold. Please notice his little belly.
Poor Coley got sick on the car ride home too :(
Not a fun night, but he was good for at least 1 laugh.
36
Here I am at 36 weeks. Excuse my arm for looking like a man's right thigh. It's just as large and probably just as hairy. There you go.
My baby is getting huge. This pregnancy is much, MUCH different than my first. It has been pretty easy over all I've just been way more nauseous and starting last week my body has started to deteriorate at lightening speed. My back ain't. Ain't what?? You might ask. It just ain't.
No really, it hurts, a lot. I usually can't stand for more than 5 minutes at a time and a few days ago I started to get shooting cervix pains and round ligament pains in the middle of the night. A few nights ago I was dreaming that I was in really bad pain. I slowly started to wake up to realize, oh boy!!...it wasn't a dream. Andy woke up from the sound of me yelping, 'Ow! Ow! Owieeee...Ow!' and helped me roll over to a comfortable position where the pain went away.
I've also had bad heartburn this time around, but sweet Kaley read my about my dramatic meltdown on my blog from the other day and brought me over a brand new pack of Zantac AND a Cadbury egg. So the heartburn is no longer an issue. Isn't she a doll? I'm pretty sure the Cadbury egg was gone before she pulled out of the driveway to head home. Cadbury eggs...the best thing to come along since the easter bunny.
But really, all whining aside it hasn't been that bad. I consider pregnancy an awesome blessing. I know there are woman who would cut off their arm to be able to carry a child. I don't ever want to take it for granted.
Today before Andy left for work I told him I'd call if my water broke. He said he would appreciate that. I laughed. Maybe today is the day? We shall see!
p.s. You'll be happy to know we've tested Andy's Blackberry and we can blog from it. So no worries, we'll keep ya'll in the loop de doop when baby girl comes.

so much to say, so much to say.
Every time I sit down as of late I either want someone to rub my feet or I want to close my eyes...blogging hasn't made it to the top of the list. This is me pushing through my foggy haze. Are you proud of me? Please say Yes. Don't make me cry.
I've got some cute videos of Colt I was going to blog about. Some stories from his 1st ever puke session. Pictures of my baby belly. A new 'slide' video from our trip to the park this spring...far less traumatic than his first experience on the slide. I also made some cute hospital onesies for Molly and I crocheted a hat to match. All of these things I want to share but can't keep my eyes open enough to do so. Maybe one day I'll get to it.
Yesterday was my 35.5 week appointment. I measured at 37 weeks. I also was, surprisingly, 80% effaced and 2cms dilated. When my doc said that I was like WHOA. Okay, this could happen, like SOON. Then I got home and freaked out because we don't have her car seat ready...All her clothes have tags on them still...I don't have any Dreft...What's she going to wear home from the hospital?...Who is going to stay with Colt while I'm in hospital...We don't have any pink blankets, she'll be wrapped in blue for the rest of her life...Do I have plans for the dog?...Is someone going to video/tape take pictures for us...Is Andy's phone equip to blog from the hospital? BAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I'M HAVING A BABY and I'm not prepared. It's amazing how much more relaxed you are with the second baby.
Andy laughed at me yesterday as I was barking out my Molly To-Do list...then he said something that made a lot of sense, Mo, just get out a piece of paper and write it all down before you forget. Smart man! I was sitting and was so tired I couldn't move so I said I'd make my to-do list when I got up...AND when I did, I of course forgot. So the last paragraph I wrote is officially my to-do list. Let it be written.
So, I think it's safe to say the baby is coming. I have an ultrasound scheduled for next Thursday to see how big the baby has gotten. If she's packing on the pounds I'm pretty sure they'll schedule an induction. A matter of weeks folks and I'll be holding my baby girl. I really want to see her face.
Last night I was holding a pink stuffed elephant Molly's gotten as a gift and I mentioned how good the elephant's nose would be for Molly to teethe on. Colt had a ducky and when he was teething he would chew on the ducks quacker. It would get so slobbery and gross but he loved it and I washed it, it was just cute. So when I mentioned how the pink elephant would be a good chewie for Molly it made me start to cry then Andy gave me 'the look'. 'The look", is something I get often lately...this 'look' is a combination of him saying 'Aww, honey' and 'Here we go again'...typically after the look he says, "Don't get started! Be happy!" TELLING SOMEONE TO BE HAPPY DOESN'T MAKE THEM HAPPY. He be crazy sometimes.
Then I started to cry more because I had heartburn and we didn't have any Zantac and Kaley told me I could take Zantac and we don't have any money and my back hurts and I have a head ache and Colt is so grown up and I don't want you to go to work tomorrow and I'm hungry. See how that works? That's called a meltdown ladies and gents. I'm perfecting them.
Hopefully my baby will come soon but I still have more than 4 weeks left until my due date so I'm trying not to get too pumped up. Well, I just looked up from the computer and Colt threw an entire load of folded clothes off the ottoman and all over the floor, better go before he throws them down the basement stairs or dips them in the dog's water bowl.
