Dear Husband,

Thank you so much for working into the night to finish the painting while I beached out and fell asleep on the couch at 9pm. Thank you also for going back to the store to get me powerade after I cried like a little sissy that you forgot it, I am sorry and I promise I will be back to (semi) normal after I deliver this child, pregnancy is getting to me.

Love your wife who will stop being insane at sometime.

Tooth lost and mia.

The boy was so happy to lose a tooth at school yesterday, because they get this charming little necklace to store it in. Unfortunately an hour after I took a picture

said tooth went MIA when the necklace opened while he was playing a rousing game of Wii sports. Oh the tears! We solved the problem by writing a note to the tooth fairy explaining the situation, well he wrote the note:

"I lost my tooth, then it got lost.

To the Tooth Fairy"

Fortunately the tooth fairy is very forgiving and left cash regardless. Since more is left for the first tooth than the ones after it Xander told me 'she only gave me half because I didn't have the tooth!'

He also took this charming photo of me, I had just woken up after a Sudafed induced nap, and for some reason I'm glowing red. And of course no longer can there be a picture of just me, the dog must join in.



Now if only the antibiotics would kick in, I haven't had an ear infection since I was a kid and my god it's horrid, I have a new sense of sympathy for the boy when he gets them. I think today is a good 'sit on the couch and watch t.v. in my pjs day' blech.

On the upside, I'm very happy I didn't hesitate from ordering more covers from Wiggleworm Bottoms since overnight she closed for new orders! I can understand why she's busy though, good product and fantastic prices.

Ack!

Heading to the Dr. at 2 for this gawdawful sinus/ear/plague whatever the hell I have. I can't remember the last time I was sick enough to need a Dr. probably '02 when Xander was a few months old? It's been awhile. Spawn does not seem to be feeling any ill effects though, with the way he keeps running a small elbow or knee across my belly.

I was going through the clothes I had bought for boychild 2 and wow I guess I probably have enough at this point! I was doing a little bit of this and that on clearance when I was working, then like an outfit a week. This is just the cutest part of the stash, including the teeeny little robeez, I missed out on the robeez thing when Xander was little, I'm so glad I get to do this again! And of course my awesome awesome sling that I adore.



I love the wiggleworms bottoms covers too. I just bought three more in small, so I have something for my infant prefolds. I figure might as well enjoy dressing the child while I can, Xander has developed his own likes and dislikes now with stuff and instead of getting him the converse sneaks this year he wanted skechers :( I couldn't even talk him into the skull vans. Damn kids getting their own personalities and all.

I love that Xander is 6 though, and I love that he wants to have his brother so badly. In school around Halloween time he made a family of ghosts, mom, dad, brother and baby <3 he puts away certain toys to save them for his brother. He's so into this, it may not last after the first 10 nights the baby's crying but it's sweet for now.

Next step, getting over this plague so I can get some more things done, walls need washing and painting, things need moving (well the husband can move things but I need to supervise where they go) the crib needs building. This is all happening way to fast and too close to the holidays.

30 weeks. I can't believe I am this far along.

The List of Things That Need Doing:

~Figure out how to sidecar crib, buy things necessary to sidecar crib.
~Paint baby's room
~Go through baby's clothes and figure out what I have and what I need (I buy an outfit every week or so, so probably won't need much!) Finish baby knitting projects.
~Complete my CD stash and buy get my pail ready
~Make a list of the other smaller stuff I'll need (baby wash, baby care, baby meds etc.), and a breast pump, I need one still.

I'm sure there are things I'm forgetting, I remembered some in the shower then promptly forgot again. I have never been a girlscout but I believe in being prepared that's for sure!

28 week appt. Gained 6 more lbs. Feel like an oompa loompa. Cannot believe I still have 12 weeks until evacuation.

Paint has been bought, stroller and carseat are here, I went nutso at kids r us the other day, it's not hard to do though. I'm just searching out the devil shoes from Robeez obsessively on ebay, I need help right?

Here is the paint color, I'm ready to start today but unfortunately there are many things that need doing before halloween so I guess it will have to wait until November.

Blue Beyond.

27 weeks where the hell is the time going?

Heartburn sometimes, cannot bend over as easily and I miss sleeping on my stomach. Baby is really high, I can actually fit into my super low rise jeans (that I bought my accident a few years ago ) again because I'm carrying so high.

I have so many things to do it's overwhelming, thankfully all big items are now purchased. I just need some clothes and little grooming crap, a bathtub etc. Still not sure what I'm doing in terms of diapering, I'll try the prefolds and see where I go from there. I was gung ho about cloth now I'm a little less to be honest.

Hopefully I'll be picking out paint this weekend so I can really get that room started. And I'm taking a trip to ON for more baby clothes. Being ready to pop during the holidays is not going to be fun, but it will probably also make the time go faster.
