About as boring as me 
We are so lame...I got excited over a jalepeno bagel today! I did have a drink that day and went to see the Corpse Bride. I was at the computer and the whole house was asleep...except me....why you ask...because...THE MOMMY NEVER GETS TO SLEEP!!!! You know this. So when are we going to shoot for a mall date? What is up with this Saturday?

What is up with this Saturday? IT'S OCTOBER!!!!!!!!!!!!! My FAVORITE month. pumpkins and cool weather and Halloween and I just love it all. Oh yeah...my birthday at the end. Usually we do food and wine festival at Epcot. I ALWAYS go, every year since it started but I think we'll be skipping it this year. I can't really do that much walking, and I can't drink. ALthough I went pregnant 2...

hey, thanks for the post!
I did want to ask something, do they normally do a spinal or an epidural? I had such a spotty epidural with my daughter and the thought of having surgery with that is terrifing. if they do do epidurals, can I ask for a spinal instead?
Thanks!

THank you so much!
I'm trying not to be nervous..kinda finding other things to think about or occupy my time. I think i'm still in denial a little person is going to be here!

Happy Monday.
Still off all week this week, through Sunday. Not sure if I will have to continue to stay home. It seems as if I REALLY take it easy, like feet up and relaxing and stuff that I feel okay but when I start doing things, even just stuff around the house (not sweeping, vacuuming, laundry.....more like moving boxes and hanging pictures and stuff)...

i have had so many depressing posts lately.....how 'bout a change of pace....
so apparently, there is yet again on SG a lot of drama....which there always seems to be re: the girls and sets and getting paid, etc., etc. who cares as far as I am concerned.....I mean I would hate to see that the girls are being treated unfairly as that would completely...

Hmmmm.... I'm not even going to comment on my future niece being a mistake 
You and Jon are too good of parents to not be able to make it through. I'm sure you were just going through a hormone phase when you wrote that, but you know it will be okay. Sure, it will be hard, but it will be worth it. And don't worry about Josie having to shre things, including the love of her family. We all have more than enough room in our hearts for another one.... and this way Josie has someone to play with, bicker with, boss around, make goofy faces at, and a sister she can teach to be a strong little girl. It'll be okay, no matter how it might seem right now. And you know, if you ever need some down time, you can drop Josie off any time I'm home. When we move, you can drop them both off for a weekend even... I'm sure that will be a long way off, but we're always here to watch the girl(s). And Mr. Andrew certainly has a warm spot for little Miss J.... I know it will be the same with Sadie or whatever her name ends up being. I guess I'm saying there are no mistakes in life and you and Jon are too strong and good to not get through these trials that are to come.
I'm off Friday, you're off Friday... should we lunch at Woodland's or the veg Cuban place downtown? Numminess!

I hope you are feeling better. I wish I still lived in Orlando so we could hang out and be prego together xoxo So I am out of work for at least 2 weeks. So far my stress level isn't any better. Maybe it will get there. basically I do not want to have this baby, I think it is a huge mistake and there is no way I am capable of taking care of 2 babies, working full time and being a wife and staying sane. I...

It is important for you to remember that whatever you are feeling during your pregnancy is OK. Ambivilance about the baby is very natural.
It took me my third pregnancy to really understand how to embrace my pregnant feelings, experience them fully and then allow them to pass.
Men can have a hard time with our abundant emotions because they tend to feel a need to fix the problem. We need to help them understand that we just need a listener and then the feelings can work themselves out. I hope that you have someone you can pour out your deepest feelings and fears to.
You know Birthing From Within, right? Even though this is not your first, one of those classes could really help you deal with the fears and build confidence.
We did a mini class with Pam England herself during our third preg and it was very healing. I had A LOT of fear about being able to handle 3 kids. And I also had to greive my 2nd losing his place as baby.
It is hard. But this is your right of passage. You can honor it. You and your family will be okay.
And ditto on what Megz said about giving Josie "one of the best gifts she will ever have." And you know, you ust cant imagine what it will be like after that baby is born, but after a while, you won't be able to imagine life without that new little person you are cookin' up.
PS. there is a new Pregnancy Group. Go join!

I can only imagine the hormones you are going through. Actually, I don't want to imagine. Congrats on the pregency!!

I had cancelled my credit card because I lost it a few months ago and apparently that was the one my Sg stuff was on. Of course they sent like a million e-mails saying they didn't have the right info. But do I care...no, not really...I wait for my membership to be cancelled. And then I was like, oh who cares about SG anyway. I'm...

so I haven't worked in almost a week and am starting to feel better. I think I might have to cut down to 2 nights/week especially if it stays as busy as it has been.
We FINALLY close on the old house today at 3:30. YIPPPEEEE!!! One mortgage. No more worries about 2 houses or selling it or any of that. THANK GOD!!!! I am...

Awww sorry to hear about the kitten, thats hard.
Congrats on the house closing though, it will definately be great to focus on just one place of residence.
the whole granparent name things has a big long story behind it but in essence
1. I can't bring myslef to call an adult human Nana or Papa or whatever
2. the boyfriend is an unrealiable self centered ass who doe not deserve any sort of honorary title.

Of course you must stay!!! Hi honey, how have you been? Stressed from what I read 
. So when are you due? And the hair is just bangs...which I have not had since I was in highschool about a million years ago I'm olllld!!! And yes appartently my warranty has expired and parts are just failing left and right....first the teeth then the nose....I'm sure the ears won't be far behind. At least then I will have a legitimate reason to ignore people Yeah it looked like someone stood over me and dropped a concrete block on MY FACE!!! But I can breath now and it is WAY cuter I am sooooo sorry about the kitty. That happened to me before. BUT let me share some professional advice with you...now that this has happened you should not have another cat around the dogs I'm sorry. I worked as a Vet Tech for 2 yrs and they say that once something like this has occurred the chances of it happening again are VERY likely. Well touch base with me and let me know what else has been going on and I saw the new Josie pics and she is just a doll. I will have to put up some new Kaya pics soon!!!

I worked 5 out 6 days, and it was really busy and stressful. Now I have to work tonight and tomorrow night, but then I"m off the weekend. I probably should call off for tonight,...

Yep we made it too the zoo, walking around with him listening to him make animal noises is just ridiculously cute
I always figure I can't complain if stuff isn't done around the house etc if I can't do it myself when I am watching him. So I go crazy.
Lots of stress and lack of sleep is not a good thing at the best of times, much less while pregnant, take it easy this weekend sounds like you need it for sure.
We had few days of wondering this month if we had a second one on the way, turns out we don't but it made me relize excatly how much work I have to get done on the house before that can happen.
