Trying 2 Stay Sane in a World of Chaos and Madness (meaning my own world!)Wednesday, August 13, 20036:27PM - Oh yeah this is a good alternativeSooooooooooooo I'm venting to my dumbass cousin about the demands of MOTHERHOOD and she suggests this to help relieve my stresss "get them involved in MORE activities" oh yeah like I need more errands to run and more practices to sit through. MF! I could kick her tail! 5:32PM - Trying 2 Stay SaneI am going nuts and there is no doubt about it. Being home with my children 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year is killing me. I hope I last until school starts. This overwhelming feeling of being responsible for 4 people and for every fiber of their lives is just too much!!!! 3 weeks and counting... feels like 3 months! Sunday, June 8, 200312:09AM - WOWit's been a long time since I have posted... I think this time last year I was DYING to go into labor I was so tired of being pregnant... now I'm thinking back to those days fondly. My daughter is turning one year old. I'm not ready! Saturday, August 3, 20024:33PM - The Best 6 weeks...Well, it's been about 6 weeks since I have last updated this thing... I've been so in love with having my new baby, my daughter that I haven't given my journal a second thought... heck I haven't given it a FIRST thought! ;) Sunday, June 23, 20022:06PM - She's Here!!!!I had my daughter! She was born on June 21st as my son predicted at 4:26 am. 9 lbs. 2 oz. and 21.5 inches long. She is beautiful (to me of course). We named her Nina-Symone Annlee Williams. Here is a link to see her picture. I'm in total and complete love!!! Current mood: Wednesday, June 19, 20021:39PM - 8 days until due date...had a pep talk with myself yesterday... feeling good. Any day now. Monday, June 17, 20026:07PM - 10 days until my due date...... and still waiting for SOMETHING to happen. Current mood: Sunday, June 16, 200212:46PM - New BabysitterNow that Cory is 11 we've been giving him more responsibility. One of them he wanted to try was babysitting his brothers. They're 7 and 5.5 so we gave it a whirl last weekend. We went to the movies and came right back and he watched them for us while we were gone. It was NICE! He said they watched Harry Potter and ate popcorn. 12:32PM - Father's Day Baby??? Not Likely!My DH has been hell bent on having a Father's Day baby. He has predicted (wrongly I might add) that Nina would make her appearance today. Well, here I am! Gut still intact! Where's the baby? I could gouge his eyes out. Current mood: Wednesday, June 12, 20027:50AM - 38 weeks today38 longggggggg weeks have come to pass today. Tauheed is hoping the baby comes on Sunday, Father's Day. I hope she comes anytime SOON! Today, tonight, tomorrow, Father's Day, I don't care! Just bring it on! Current mood: Sunday, June 9, 20025:26PM - Today...experiencing menstrual like cramps all day. Breasts feel tingly a bit, slight back ache off and on and a mild headache earlier. This could mean NOTHING or it could be SOMETHING. Who knows? Time will tell. 2:43PM - Got excited for nothing!Yesterday was THE day I thought. DH and I went to the movies (saw BAD COMPANY - pretty good movie, not as funny as I thought but I like Anthony Hopkins) and during the movie I started to have ctx. I also had this feeling of being slightly ELECTROCUTED in the vagina area. I have NEVER felt that before, was very weird and VERY annoying. The ctx were not strong or intense or coming in any pattern but toward the end they seemed to be so I started timing them. They were coming every 20 minutes and lasting 20 seconds. BAH! Current mood: Thursday, June 6, 20024:32PM - I'm on the look out...I guess every new and exciting thing is going to make me wonder if I'm in labor or not LOL Current mood: Wednesday, June 5, 20023:31PM - WOOHOO got my sling!I ordered a sling from http://www.kangarookorner.com and got it today. It is soooo soft and cuddly! I can't wait to try it out when baby Nina gets here. I've heard great things about these slings and that you don't even have to support your baby's head while walking or breastfeeding. All this stuff coming in is making me even more anxious for her to get here!!!!! Current mood: 3:17PM - Well DAMN!Last night I experienced some contractions. They weren't Braxton Hicks at all, totally different feel to them than the usual BH I get. I knew it wasn't "it" though because there was no real pattern, they were spread out all over the place and varied in intensity and duration. I was hoping during the night I'd wake up with a more established pattern and go into active labor but I didn't. Current mood: Tuesday, June 4, 20022:39PM - 37 weeks tomorrowI'm officially 37 weeks tomorrow. Only 3 weeks left until my due date but OH GAWD don't let me go that long. People on my June pregnancy list are popping and have been popping since the middle of May. I feel like I have such a long way to go until I go. Let the madness END already! Current mood: Wednesday, May 29, 200211:42AM - 36 weeks todayI'm in the home stretch! I'm FINALLY at that place that if I went into labor on my own right now they most likely wouldn't try to stop it. I don't think little Nina is coming this early but I do think she'll be here before my due date. Current mood: Friday, May 24, 20022:33PM - 33 days left...Well, my birthing pool came yesterday and it's all ready to be set up. I really wish I could do it now but I don't want the boys using it as a place to hide or find them playing in it so I'll wait until after June. I hope it's not as complicated to set up as it looks... Tauheed is so not handy with tools! I can picture myself setting this puppy up myself while in labor. That would NOT be good. Current mood: Monday, May 20, 20027:19AM - Week 35...Slowly, but surely, this is coming to a close. I'll be 35 weeks on Wednesday. Not much longer before my baby girl is kicking on the outside instead of the inside. I look at all her things around the house and I am so ready. I hope I make a good mom to a daughter. I think I'm believing that it's impossible for me to not have a good relationship with my daughter because I have such a great one with my mother. I hope I'm believing right! It would kill me not to. I love the relationship I have with my boys... I just want it to continue on with her. Thursday, May 16, 200212:55PM - 34 week appointmentVery boring which is good. My midwife is so great, I love her. Current mood: Navigate: (Previous 20 entries) |
