Oh man, I’m so busted. This morning I woke up feeling some kind of awful. I was so congested. My throat was all mucusy, my nose was absolutely stuffy, my throat was sore and I had no voice. I couldn’t wait to jump my morning hurdles and take the hottest shower possible. When I got in the shower, I knew I hadn’t seen the doctor yet. As a matter of fact, I heard him knock on my door and come into my room as I was getting into the shower. Thankfully he wasn’t a nursing student. Well, the doctor just came by again and the first thing he said was, “That was not a 10 minute shower! I came by 3 times.” I laughed and told him I heard him knock as I was getting into the shower and added that I was feeling pretty congested and needed the steam. I promised him that not all of my showers are that long. They aren’t. But I know I break the 10 minute rule all of the time! What are they going to do? Come in and drag me out? I would rather that to a 10 minute water shut off timer (which we don’t have here). Talk about one pissed pregnant lady! Continue Reading Day 80: BUSTED!!…
Day 79: Who are you and what have you done with my husband?

This is Kayvan’s last full weekend to get things done before the baby gets here. It is also his last weekend at home before coming back to the hospital to stay with me full time. That means he is out and about running errands before he and the pup come visit today. I got a text from him at 11:15 that said, “I find going to the baby store new and exciting.” You bet I read that one twice.

Day 73: Daddy’s Girl

This kid is our first child and it is a boy. But our first baby is our little French Bulldog and she is a total daddy’s girl. Kayvan brought her up with him again today when he came to visit after dragging her lazy little butt out of bed. He texted me first thing this morning with “It is kind of hard to sleep in with Sookie snoring in your face.” I laughed. Then he texted me a few minutes later with her snuggled up in bed refusing to move. This is new, she used to snort in my face to wake me up at the crack of dawn…which meant she started sleeping in her crate. Continue Reading Day 73: Daddy’s Girl…
Day 69: Chugging Along

Knowing that the boy is doing really well cooking on the inside, I no longer feel guilty counting down the days. We don’t have an official induction date yet and am told we will get that next weeks sometime. BUT. I can count down to 36 weeks. So that means we have 2 weeks 6 days to go! Yesterday the Nurse Manager checked in with us and Kayvan asked about the record for the longest stay. I am very happy to announce that I will NOT be beating the record of 110 days. 110 days. Poor woman. If I go to 36 weeks exactly it will be a little over 90 days in the hospital and that is including recovery from the delivery. Continue Reading Day 69: Chugging Along…
Day 68: 33 Weeks!

We have officially made it to 33 weeks! Just one week left until they schedule me for induction and 3 weeks left until I am 36 weeks. We are just trucking along now! I have never been one to wish away time but things change and I want the next three weeks to FLY by. After that, time can slow down again.
Kayvan and I spent some time yesterday laughing at the baby sticking his booty out to the right of his belly button. This boy was STRETCHING and my belly was SO lopsided. I said to Kayvan, “There he goes, showing his ass again.” To which Kayvan responded, “Looks like he got your butt!” Continue Reading Day 68: 33 Weeks!…
Day 67: Sherpa Sookie

I shared a midday picture of Sookie on her way to see me yesterday! Well, she made it and with her, she brought momma some chicken nuggets and french fries from McDonalds. The amount of McDonalds I have eaten during this pregnancy is obscene. Especially since in the 8 years prior to being pregnant I maybe had McDonalds 4 times. I can’t help it, their french fries and BBQ sauce are the best combination EVER. It has been a favorite of mine since childhood. Being pregnant, it is impossible to abstain.
Sookie arrived via Sherpa (bag), hopped out and sniffed around the room. We ended up having to sneak her in because the pet people never called us back to give us a “golden ticket” which is just a little permission slip to give security. Sookie seriously loves her Sherpa. Leave it to a lazy doggie. It really didn’t involve much sneaking since once Kayvan hits our floor the nurses all want to say hi to our girl.

Day 66: Who Was a Total Pill Yesterday?

Me, me, meeee!!!
My poor husband deserves an award. Most days, I have to admit, I am a remarkably awesome person to spend all of your time with. Yesterday was NOT one of those days. I wasn’t grumpy or mean, I was just a total whiny pain. I cannot tell you how many times “I’m BORRRRRRRRED” came out of my mouth. He knew to do nothing about my complaint. I have plenty to do and have always been a self starter. He knows that if I really and truly wanted to do something about my boredom I could have picked up a book (I have about 20 that I still need to make my way through), I could crochet, watch a DVD, play on the internet, call or text with friends, the list goes on…I have plenty to DO. Problem is, yesterday just was not a patient day for me and I was SO not up for the repetition. It didn’t help that we lost about 10 channels on TV here, one being TLC. I don’t know how that happens but it has happened once before during my 9 week stay. So I re-discovered an old addiction. Bejeweled on my phone.

Day 65: I Want New Clothes

Not that I can wear them or anything, but I want new clothes. New, non-maternity clothes…that aren’t nightgowns…and that are in my pre-pregnancy size. I miss my clothes in general. I miss my maternity clothes which I was only able to wear once or twice. I’m sure I’ll be wearing the maternity jeans for a few weeks postpartum. I may even get to wear a sweater or two before I shove them in storage boxes, depending on the weather when I get out of here. The other day The Limited, one of my favorite stores had 40% off of all of their clothes in store and online. I will have a new job when I go back to work and I think that warrants a few new clothes. If that doesn’t, sitting in here for weeks on end most certainly does. Trouble is, I don’t have any idea what size I will be once Continue Reading Day 65: I Want New Clothes…
Day 63: Sookie Update

Our little French Bulldog pup has been staying with our awesome friends as I have mentioned a few times previously. She e-mails us a lot and when she does I post it to this blog. Sookie says she likes our friends, their dog and their twins. The twins like her too. Last week, little Lucy told her momma that Sookie is her best friend.
Day 54: 31 Weeks!

Man, we are climbing those numbers, aren’t we? Last week was a long week for me so I’m happy 31 weeks is finally here. I’m hopeful the rest of my time in here will continue to go by quickly. I’m slowly working my way up to the longest standing resident in here, that’s for sure! Not exactly the prize every pregnant woman wants, but considering the alternative…I’ll take it! Next up? 32 weeks! Continue Reading Day 54: 31 Weeks!…
