Due Date @ MindSay

I have a paper due tomorrow

well as it now stands, the bump will be delivered via c-section on December 28th:D no one could be more happy about this than me (or marcus i should say due to my imbalance of hormones) I will be 36 weeks and seeing that he is already at 5 lbs, there should be minimum risk of any health problems. one of the reasons aside from my gestational diabetes that we are delivering early for, is the PUPPP. It is driving me crazy, almost to the point that if i took a cheese grater and ran it up and down my legs and over my abdomen and then poured alcohol over it, that still wouldnt be enough to stop the itching. luckily, it doesnt effect the baby and goes away soon after delivery. so i cant wait for it to be over with and GONE :D
As for other news, since I have to have a c-section, i will most likely still be in the hospital for new years, so we are moving the wedding to valentines day instead. I'll spend most of the day working on the notice cards and then order new invitations sometime in january when i get my sanity back.
so, with my itchy and sleep deprived body, im off to work for a bit of distraction. i feel all sticky because im lathered rather well in caladryl gel, but at least for the moment, the benadryl is working and i have a tad bit of my sanity to function with. everybody have a blessed and happy day full of light, laughter and holiday cheer!

Thank you.

 

Well, I'd forgotten to post the pick-up line, but due to the overwhelming majority of you (2) demanding it, I'll put it on. It's gotten good reception from my class mates, so it's gotta be somewhat okayish.

Here goes.

There are two kinds of people who should have babies. (slight pause) You and me.

Tell me what you think, perhaps it's more entertaining if you say it out loud.

Anyways, there you go.

While sitting in today's meeting which had many repeat motivational speeches from the meetings I attended last week for new teachers, I got to thinking about something. When I was last in the OB's office, my doctor was unable to see me to give me the ultrasound results. So her nurse gave them to me, but there was much she was unable to answer. She did say I was 19 1/2 weeks pregnant. Wow! And that I should be starting to feel movement. Which I noticed I was feeling movement today. She said my due date was still Feb 2. I opened my planner and counted out the weeks...Mathematically it doesn't add up. I can't be 19 or 20 weeks now AND due Feb. 2.

I checked my numbers again on a pregnancy calculator on the internet. If I'm due Feb. 2, then I'm only 16 1/2 weeks or so. And if I'm 19 or 20 weeks, my due date is more like January 15.... I called my OB's office to ask which I am. As this will influence the ski trip I'm supposed to be planning for the spring (I hope I'm due earlier for that, more time to heal so I don't have to be the baby mama the *whole* time and hopefully I'll feel good enough to take a couple of runs here and there on the slopes.) I need to check with both my brothers again and find out if they're wanting to come with their ladies. Also, if I'm due earlier, I might go back to work for a week or two before Spring Break, which for me will be April 6. So... I'm waiting for the call back from the nurse at the OB's office. I'm not holding my breath though.

Oh, also in baby news, Hannah knows something is going on. Once in a while, Clint or I will say something about the baby in Mama's tummy and she kisses my belly. She whispers "Hi" to my belly.

I think it will come as a HUGE SHOCK when she's not the ONLY center of my world. I'm sure doesn't fathom the havoc that this will wreak on her little world o' happiness, but someday, I think she'll be happy to share Mama and Dada so she can have a sibling to grow up with.

In other Hannah news, she's liking her new care situation...but she's not eating. ANYTHING. While she's there. We're doing some interventions, and hoping this improves as she is on the watch list for being underweight already. Grr.
