Better than a Black Friday deal...
Getting out my "regular" wardrobe (i.e. non-maternity) and having my jeans fit!!!!

Hooray for me??
I haven't broken down into tears in over 24 hours!!! Maybe things are settling down on the hormone front...

Thoughts for day 3
1) Thank God for nursing toddlers!!!!!
2) Hormones and emotions don't mix well!
3) I need to remember that it is only day 3 and I don't need to be able to "do" everything today!

Thoughts on day 2
1) The naming of babies is a difficult matter ("it isn't just one of your holiday games")
2) I think I am entirely made up of worn out rubber bands (which until recently were at least stretched tight around something like a balloon... now they are just a pile uselessness!)

By a nose
It was a close race, but our baby girl beat out even the bedroom furniture. Our second daughter arrived at 7:54am and the bedroom set didn't make it until 12:07pm! The couches are nowhere in sight (sigh)

The best laid plans...
just don't got the way I wanted.
I could hardly believe we made it to 11/11 after all the contractions (starting 10/30) but here we are and we missed it!!!! I am disappointed to say the least, but it is hard to explain to anyone just how much or why...
I feel like we tried everything reasonably available (even had my first acupuncture treatment after hearing about a friends results with induction via that treatment - NOTHING for me) and it just wasn't the right time.
I guess this is yet another moment of God teaching me I am NOT in control and to just get over myself. It is a lesson I apparently need hammered into my head at every possible occasion.
Now I have no more "favorite" dates left and I am just tired of being pregnant. Hope to meet this baby REALLY SOON!

The race is on...
Apparently we are going to have a race to see which comes first... the baby or the furniture (2 couches or 1 bedroom set.) I am kinda pulling for the couches, but that may just be because I am tired of sitting on the ones we have now...

Ack!
My midwife just called and has a family emergency and won't be available for the next 12 hours... she has back ups, but Oh boy I am trying to be calm! Not happy, but what can you do?

It's just an estimate
Yes today is my "EDD" or "estimated due date" and yes the baby isn't here yet - big surprise!
I have to say it has been very interesting talking to people this week. Please love to ask a pregnant women when she is due, but when you answer "today" or any day with 2-4 days of when you are talking to them you get nearly the same reaction. Shock, surprise, and (what looks to me like) hidden concern that you are going to shoot a baby out at them or get amniotic fluid on their shoes... I fluctuate between amused and annoyed by these reactions.

What are we going to do with her when she gets older???
Today was a most frustrating day!
I made tuna melts for lunch, which is something the kids usually like. We sat down to lunch around 12:15ish... and Jessaleigh decided after putting the first bite in her mouth that she didn't like it. Spit out said bite and started screaming. Now in this house we have a few rules surrounding meals/food/eating (I try not to have too many, but there have to be some guidelines...) One is "if it went into your mouth it doesn't come out." (this rule actually came about because Jessaleigh has a history of spitting things out and then throwing a fit about it.) So I put my foot down and said that Jessaleigh needed to eat THAT ONE BITE before she could have other food, get down from the table, etc. Remember this was her FIRST bite of lunch...
Fast forward to 5:45pm when Scott got home and spent 15 more minutes convincing her to finally eat the one bite literally 2 minutes before we sat down to dinner.
I don't understand why sitting at the table for 5+ hours is better than eating one bite of food... I just don't get it.
