ACK...THE END IS NEAR

And I really don't think that i'm prepared

Not equipment wise, I'm talking emotionally... this mommy thing is really new for me and I have always been auntie... never mommy... well obvesily casue this is my first child but still you get the point...

I CAN'T EVEN KEEP FISH ALIVE.... and the only reason that the dog is still alive is because she can drink out of the toilet bowl....

I really don't think that I'm ready for this... Really I don't think I'm ready... and it's not like the BG is going to be of much help.... He isn't going to even be here... Lucky bastard... getting to work in Edson and I have to take care of the baby.. not that I'm bitching to loudy cause there is no way that i'd want to work for uncle...

I think it is the pain that is freaking me out the most.. and don't tell me it doesn't hurt cause I know it does... And it hurts alot more then stubbing your toe... so don't give me that line either....

Oh crap... I'm screwed

NOTHING NEW

I mean litterally nothing new...

Had to put on two pairs of pants this morning before i found my sweats... they didn't fit... i'm about an inch to big for just about all my pants now... Don't I feel attractive.. thank god I have ones with elastic waist and I have 4 weeks to go...

and there i'm done

TTFN

I AM SO STIFF

I have no idea why but my hips and waist are so stiff....

I can barely move and it really hurts... when I walk I look like some kinda gibbled pregnant woman... and getting into the truck in next to impossible... and the BG still hasen't put the step on the side of the truck yet and I don't think that he ever will... which is a big disapointment cause it is just going to be harder for me to get into the truck... and go places... so it looks like I'm stuck walking for the next little while... or waddling as the case may be

My Sister is coming down next week with her kids... She is going to help me finish setting up the nursery... by that time I should have the dresser and the shelving so all I have to do is put them in the right place... I don't think that we will paint causeshe will have her kids with her.... and they don't understand the meaning of 'don't touch' to well..

The BG came home early today... we went to the post office and then to the store where discovered that there was a leak in his feul filter. It filters the water out of the diesel if there is any... over time it does build up... and there is a leak there now just above the sensor the BG is loosing fuel... not to much just enough to annoy the hell out of him. So he is currently At NAPA looking for a plug... I have no idea what that is going to do... but he does know what he is doing. I think.

Anyway... so that is all that is going here right now... I think one of the rats is pregnant...but i'm unsure.. it could be just fat. K... now I'm finished, have a good day and don't work to hard....

MY BACK HURTS

K so this si the first time in my whole pregnancy that my back hurts... and I mean the thing is killing me... also my legs hurt... kinda achey like... sorta like it felt when I was in high school and I was getitng the flu...

Now my pre-natal teacher said that the begining of labour sometimes felt like flu like symptomes .... so of course I freaked out... called my mum and told her that i was over reacting and what I thought..... She said that it was the weight and to get on my hands and knees and the pain would stop... and she was right...

Asked the BG to rub my back...which he isn't very good at.. and it went away... went and had a shower and had the hot water beat on my back for a while and that helped too.

So now I'm back up here in the computer room watching Stargate and now my back hurts again... Mum did say that she did have the cleanest floors around when she was pregant with me...

Guess i get started on that tommorrow

Well other than that I'm off to bed and tonight I'm sleeping in the spare room... the bed n the spare room is alot harder and my bed is supersoft and my hip is really bothering me so i'm going to give that a try tonight.... well sweet dreams everyone

TTFN

WORCHESTERSHIRE SAUSE + PREGNANCY = BAD HEARTBURN

learned that lovely little lesson last night... man that hurt... had drink 3 glasses of milk to get it to settle down enough so that I could go to sleep...

Well nothing new on my home front... bored out of my skull.. watching alot of stargate and my ankles have a hard time not swelling...

The BG's friends from Ponoka are coming over tonight... we will watch a movie and then bullshit for a bit... a nice relaxing evening.

V is having her Aunt and uncle over at her place tonight.. she is making cream of potato soup... it wil be interesting to see how it turns out... she has never made it before and she isn't the most experienced at cooking... It will be a good story at the very least.

Well I'm off

TTFN

YES IT LIVES

Hey there people...

And yes I'm awake and it is before 3:00 in the afternoon. Watched about 4 episodes of stargate and then worked on the camping trip pic's there are posted to feel free to browse at your descrition...

Went to pre-natal last night... learned all about Secarian Sections and medical intervention... and i don't know what is more painful... pushing out a watermelon... or having a doctor yard on your stomach like it's a sasuage casing... I'm waiting till they develop transporter technology before I have this baby.... I'm a natural born chicken shit.

Had my first full out braxton hick yesterday... last about 5 minutes.... At first I thought that my period was coming and then I remembered that I was pregnant... did some walking and squats...that helped before I got pregnant... and then I laid down.... it went away after a little while... hasen't been back since...

Well that is there is to report... Well I'm going to watch some more stargate...

I'M BACK

Hey there hi there ho there people

Well I'm finally out of the bush and i'm still in one piece. Baby included

All I wanted when I returned home was my shower and my bed. I actually turned the water brown in the shower I was that dirty... I haven't been that dirty since I was a kid.. But I had a great time... I tried to go quading.. I think I dis it for about 20 minutes and then decided that I couldn't do it adn turned around.. Had to cross a big creek, do some mogules and then looked at this big asses hill they wanted me to climb and went nope not doin that... the BG took me back to camp and then went out with his cousin to catch up to the group.. Met some new people... A lot of the mum's stayed behind to watch the kids so I wasn't lonely....

People Ask me where I went... I have no idea... first they told me cow lake which is on the other side of Rocky Mountain House... so we passed there, went to the end of the hightway got on a dirt road and kept going for another 40 minutes... I have no idea... On a side of a mountain in the middle of the bush that is all i know..

New Rule for my family.... when dealing with forest rangers always let the wife handle it... nice guys they really where... however the male senior office was the one sitting in the nice cozy truck staying dry while the female rookie was out chasing the licence plates in the rain. jackass. All i wanted to do was offer her a cup of hot chocolate.

Well I have a Dr. Appt this morning... standard check up thing... and going to yell at sombody for not having my records faxed.. well I'll post pics later

TTFN

WELL THAT WAS A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME

Hey there

Had my gyno appt today.. and I'm really disaponted

My dr. office never faxed over my records so the had no idea why I was there and then I told him about my high blood pressure he told me it wsw basically a result of me being int he dr. office "the stress of being there" I think is what he said... He told me to take my own blood presure for a week and told me to lay off the carbs and drink more water and he would see me in three weeks...

Well my mother thinks this is excellent news... But god damn if i'm going to have the baby in red deer I would like a little more attention paid to me other than two vistis before the baby is born... jesus i'm mad at my Dr.

Well there goes my birth plan right out the winodw... cause from the sounds of I don't need to have the baby in Red deer I can do it in Rimbey.. somebody needs to tell me where i'm having this kid or I'm going to go apeshit.

Well at least i get to bitch at my dr. next tuesday.... that will at least be fun

I'm really tired... Leaving for the Quading trip tommorrow so i won't be able to blog for the week end... Hopefully I will have new pics and big blog for monday nite...

MY CRIB ARRIVED

Yea..... it arrived today... The BG's friend arrived late thsi evening with it...isn't it awesome.. I'm biased cause it's my first crib.

Anyway.. J helped the BG put it together and then I set about making right away... the sheets are hand me downs from my cousin... If they're good enough for her kids they're fine for mine... She made the bed spread for me... the quilt hanging over the side is a gift from her also... there is a striped woolly blanket on the end from my mother in law.... the fish thingy is a gift from one of the BG's friends.. It even projects some stuff onto the roof..... and the cute little blanket in the corner is a cuddle blanket from my Bestest Friend C.... and for those of you about to freak no
I'm not leaving it in there with Junior at first... probebley about six months or so I'll leave it in there for him.... I just wanted it in there cause it looked bear right now...

And no the walls aren't dirty. The BG is working on murle for the little guy.

PRINT WORK SHOP IS A WIFE'S BEST FRIEND

Ok... So today is my anniversary... the BG came home and I cooked soem mean pork chops and dinner was wonderful..

So after he left my mum's house he went to drop off the truck at the yard and Uncle invited him for a beer. Needless to say I knew he was coming home at 7:00 and he didn't pull in till 9:30.. it only takes an hour to get home from my mothers house even with dropping the truck of at the yard... so he was 1.5 hours MIA....

Revenge for being MIA for 1.5 hours... Cook a really great dinner and then whip upstairs and laod print work shop... look under ready made projects, look under cards, anniversary, husband.. choose the one you like best and then print.... go down stairs and place on plate....

and when the husband tries to use the card as a napkin... cause that is what he thougth it was... scowl.

I'm off to Ponoka to get Dairy Queen cause he feels guilty for trying to wipe his mouth on the card.

So all day I have been telling myself... He's not coming home today, He's not coming home today... and I have been telling myself that several times through out the day...

Got a phone call from my mum a few minutes ago and guess who was at her house headed home... TA feakin DA I'm a psychic.. He's coming home.

Now normally this is a good thing but tommorrow would have been better... I have a house to clean, dinner to cook and laundry to do which i wasn't going to start till tommorrow and to top it off my ankles are the size of grapfruits and it is uncomfortable to walk... and I have to clean...

Wel at least i'll get the stairs vacuumed now...

Post more when I have time

MY ANKLES DECIDED TO GO ON VACTION

So my ankles decided that they didn't want to be here for a bit and took off.... they usually go on a trip about mid afternnon anyway but they left yesterday and haven't come back yet I hope they return soon.. i miss those little guys..

BG might be home Wednesday nite in tiome for the pre-natal classes... that would be nice

TTFN

I HAD A FANTASTIC DAY YESTERDAY

And the main reason is because the BG got to come home...
It was awesome when he arrived at 10:30am and the Fuzz new it was him and I was doubt full till he gave the engine a couple of quick rev's at the front door.. Man was I glad to see him..

We spent the day in Ponoka at of friends of ours house... Didn't let him wander very far out of my sight... Spent the majority of the afternnoon laying on their bed cause my ankles where so swollen and cuddling with their dog but thats ok cause there bed was in the living room anyway so I got to visit and look at wedding dresses all afternoon.

However... all good things must come to an end.... Uncle called at 10 to 5 this morning and said that he needed the BG back at work.... thats ok. I got to say good bye properly this time... I repacked his back, packed his lunch and visited for a bit and then kissed and hugged him good bye and told him i'd see him in a few weeks and that I loved him very much .. I feel a lot better this time cause I got to do that.... Man I've got to tell you it all in how you say goodbye. this was alot better then the last time he left... I thought he was coming home that night so I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, cause I have nasty mornig breath, as I passed him on the way back from the bathroom, and got back into bed. New policy in this house hugs and kisses every morning, no more of this quick shit in on the stairwell.

I think I'm going with V to Red Deer today to do some shopping.. depends how I feel later

Well it's 5:30 and I'm still tired so I'm going back to bed... I'll probley post more tommorrow

GYNO APPT CHANGED

The dr. will be in surgery all day tommorrow.

consult moved to wednesday, my sister is coming from edson to take me in...

My two year anniversary is on monday

THE CLASS WAS FINE

The class went fine... there are seven other ladies and they all managed to bring there husbands... I felt so weird... Yea V was there but they all had there husbands that managed to take time out of there busy schedules to come and mine couldn't.

He is missing everythign and it's almost like he doesn't seam to care... he had the oportunity to come home but he didn't.. Uncle told him he could and then told him to wait a minute.. I'm sure that if he said that J has pre-natal classes that uncle would have said to go.... and it's not like I want him here all the time. I understand that he has to work and I never bitch that he does but god damn it he has resposabilitys here and I just really need him right now.

He is going to end up missin so much of the baby's life cause he works away and i don't think that he realizes that... and at the end of his work day he goes to my sisters house and he has peopel to visit with... I'm alone alot of the time.. and I mean 99% of my day.. IT will be great to have the baby just so i won't be lonely anymore

I'M A FREAKING PIN CUSHION

So yesterday i was bemoaning the fact that I was going to give birth alone... and now i'm willing to do that as long as i don't have to go for another damn blood test..

The Dr. Sent me in for the Gestational Diabeties test and I flunked that according to the nurse behind the desk and he sent me for another one. This one wasn't so easy. instead of drinking the orange pop and sitting for an hour... they took my blood and didn't get enought the first time so they had to go back for seconds... they had me drink the pop and then wait an hour, take more blood and they got enough this time and then I had to wait again for another hour and then they took more blood.. Man my arm is killing me. and I have a nice big fat bruise.. it's really pretty.... NOT. I swear i'm down two quarts.

Well tonight is my pre-natal classes and V is coming with me and on Friday I have an appt with a gyno in Red Deer. V doesn't work that day so she is taking me in... I probebly write more after class.

see you later

THE TROUBLE WITH WORKING IN THE OIL PATCH

Any body who has a husband that works inthe oil industry can relate

The BG went up to Edson today to delivery some culverts and either some one quit or didn't show up or something and now it looks like th BG is going to be running cat for the rest of the month... or who knows.. the guy could show up tommorow and he could be back but for now it looks like he is up there for the rest of the month...

So he will miss all the Prenantal classes and my Gyno apt on the 12 and everything else that happens

I'm glad he is doing what he loves to do but... how come i'm the one sitting here by myself scared to death that i'm going to go into labour and be by myself for the whole thing... i can get used to just about anything but that really scares me

the feeling will probebly go away soon.... it's probebley just the homons talking

well nite

SO THE BABY WILL BE BORN IN RED DEER

Went for my Dr. appt today and he said that today my blood pressure is 150/90 and that my baby diabeties (can't spell the right word) was inconclusive, and he is sending me for a differnt one. Doing that on wednesday. Told him about my swelling and the fact that sometimes my ankles are bigger then my legs and he said that I'm not a good canadate to give birth in Rimbey.


I'm not high risk and i'm not low risk either. I'm medium risk. well that is how i put it.. and he said beter safe than soory he was going to make me a apptment with a gynocoligest and I was going to have the baby there.. and better safe then sorry situation... on which I totally understood and supported..

Called mum and told her that and she was a little worried and wanted to know when my appt would be and I told her that i would let her know when I found out..
Still have to tell the BG and will do that tonight...

Walked all over town today, returned movies, paid for my pre-natal classes and then took the long way home... Played 4 rounds of Blitz with V and then passed out for 3 hours and just got up..

all in all a good day...

i'll post more tommorrow

K.. NOW YOU REALLY HAVE TO CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS'

When we where at Dad's place for the party, my cousin and aunt where there and they had stuf for me and my sister, bigger cloths for her kids and baby stuff for mine...

My cousin made me a baby sweater, bonnet, booties and a matching blanket. and they are awesome... my Aunt made me to hats for the baby to wear in the hospital, one pink and one blue.. so no matter what I have I'm covered, I told the BG that if had a girl I would put her in both, if it was a boy he only gets the blue though... I might feel differnt down the road... and they made a play blanket also... it's for playing outside, picnic's, teaparty's everythign that you would need a blanket for.

She made two, one with bigger squares and mine... I told my sister that I wanted the cool big one even though we hadn't seen them yet... we look and the one that I have actually has some left over material that my gradmother had when she was alive and made things like that for us... I told the BG when we got in the truck that there was no way in hell that my kid was getting their hands on that blanket... that was mine and I was going to keep it... yea I know alot of maternal feeling there huh..

k... well I think I'm done now... have a good nite

YEP I SO DEFINATLY DID QUIT

Ok. So my mum has a grasshopper mind.. I have one like a teter totter. So i was thinking about it today and no I can't go back to work for her... my Dr. Appts are about to be every week and I'm starting prenatal classes on wednesday and I really want to have the baby here in Rimbey and not in drayton... cause if the the dr. that delivered my neice comes anywhere near me I think that i will cold cock the guy... what a fricken quack...

First he is from south africa, not that there is anything wrong with that, my dr. is form south africa too and he is awesome, two nurses had to tell the guy that is was ok to induce her into labour and then when the baby came out there was some tearing and he sewed her back up but didn't put the disolavble stickes in... So my sister ran around for almost two months witht eh real thing in her and her regulaer dr. was some pissed let me tell you.

But i really like my DR. and i'm doing everythign that i can to keep my blood pressure down so that i can have the baby here.. and let me tell you that ain't easy.

So it was my dad's birthday today and we all went over to his house and had a party there. My mum came and so did my sisters, and my brother and my aunt, cousin and her two children. it was awesome. Made my dada a cake. everyone said that it was great... It was to heavy, dry and tasted like johnney cake for some reason instead of white cake... don't ask cause i don't know.. but they all sid that it was wonderful.... pack a liars.... and apprently hallmark doesn't make a birthday card for ex-husbands... mother was very disapointed... so she got him a flat of strawberry's instead.. and us kids ate almost all of them on him... aren't we great.. tehe

posteda pic of the cake and mum's dog and another dog that i know on on flicker... check it out and then you will see why i don't bake all that often... well have a great day.... i'm off to go quading tomorrow, and don't look at the screen that wey.. i'm going to take it easy and not go out of second gear and no jumping i promise....

well have agreat nite

K.... SO MAYBE I'M NOT QUITTING

In my mum's business she has this wonderful man by the name of D who looks after all her accounting needs... great guy, love him to death.

Well after I quit yesterday i called him to tll him that and to get all the paperwork started.. and I am of course 33 weeks pregnant and emotional as all hell.. and so I was crying.. So after the BG came to pick me up he called all over hells half acre trying to get a hold of me to find out what had happened and why I had quit... now when I don't want to be found I can't be found... learned that one from my mum.. and of course he couldn't find me...

So this mornign I called and spoke to him and that man knows how to make me feel important.... apprantly when I was there I put the business back on track.. now not proffit wise but getting all the paper work to him on time and make sure that all the bills where paid properly and in a timely fashion... and that we are all caught up.. casue of me.. well that made me feel really good.

and we also disussed a few of my mother's other annoying habits and we decised that we are going to give it a couple of days and then talk with mum and decide if i'm actualy resigining... and I think that is a good thing...

so i'll post more later when I know more..

I have to go out today....
return movies...
depoist the BG pay cheque
get groceries and a few other things

well tlak to you later
