I've had a lot of great things that I've wanted to blog about lately but have been too busy. Busy doing what you ask? Busy waiting. I know I totally set myself up for this one. Since my first child came four days early, next one eight days early and the next two weeks, I was convinced that this one would fall out at least three weeks early. Tomorrow is my due date. Yeah, she's in big trouble.
I am sure that this baby will never get here and I can tell that my kids are really confused about it. Even though I've explained that the due date is general blah blah, this morning Luke happily informed me that she will be here tomorrow. AND Sylvia keeps saying, "Baby Hazel will be here after later." Also, people keep calling asking how I am feeling (How are you feeling = Have you had that baby yet?) Also, when I call someone they act irritated that I called for any other reason than to tell them I had the baby.
It is also frustrating not having any energy yet not being able to sleep. Also my fat hamburger helper hands (and feet) are very uncomfortable. My back hurts and at a mere 29 years old I am convinced that I am just too old to be doing this. It's going to be strange meeting this baby because I know I am so focused and excited just about not being pregnant anymore, I am forgetting that I will be meeting a new child too! I promise not to write anymore until I have a better attitude. (so probably after the baby is born.)
A friend told me about this easy and delicious craft/food project to do with kids. Nutterbutters, melted white chocolate, and then milk chocolate chips for eyes....tada! Ghost Cookies! Luke's Ghost has three eyes.
This morning for Sylvia's dance class the girls could dress up for Halloween, so here is SUPER SYLVIA!!!
Super Luke Update: For all of you hard core Super Luke fans, There are two more stories added to the Super Luke section. Evil Xtreme Boy and Super Luke: Space Wars I. Also a drawing of the new mystery character!
I usually never just turn on the T.V. and flip channels during the day. Joey and I will record a show we like and watch it together after the kids have gone to bed, or we'll record and watch Discovery Channel, Animal Planet type shows as a family. Although, the last few weeks I've been watching a lot more T.V. I am either up in the night because for the life of me I can't get used to sleeping with this huge body of mine, or I have to sit down during the day and prop up my hot chubby pregnant feet for a while in front of the T.V. Isabel is the only one interested in the shows I watch (that seem to always be on.) Mostly What Not to Wear and Babies: Special Delivery. If you've never heard of these shows, their titles explain them pretty well. Isabel will plop down next to me and if it's What Not to Wear, she will comment, "I liked her hair before they cut it." If we are watching, Babies: Special Delivery, she will ask the usual, "How many babies does she have in her?" And, "Boy or Girl?"
Now everytime that Isabel and Sylvia are taking a bath together I hear Isabel coaxing Sylvia to push. When I peek in, I see Isabel pretend to pull an imaginary baby out of Sylvia's crotch area. Then yesterday Isabel and Luke were playing What Not to Wear with the wooden magnetic dress up dolls. I think Luke was being a silly boy about the game and dressing the dolls up as ridiculous as he could. Isabel was very serious and I would hear her comment now and again, "That is a wonderful office look!" "That jacket slims your waist line!"
Sheesh!
