I think I’m finally getting hungry after that NIGHTMARE of a night last night (Saturday).
But, I don’t know….
The day started out GREAT. In fact, here’s the theme song of the day — check it and DANCE (pretend I’m Ellen Degeneres):
I’m 34 weeks! And, I’m SO EXCITED! Just like last time. I’m not nervous for the delivery. Just excited to meet this little one. I mean, I can totally wait another 6 weeks; the monkey and I have lots of one-on-one time to enjoy. Plus, there’s SO much to do.
Anyway, the day started out great. I was even feeling attractive BECAUSE my OB appointment was PERFECTION. I gained NO weight in the last 3 weeks, and the baby has grown a lot! And, and, AND, the baby’s head is now DOWN! I was afraid for a while there because s/he was lying side to side, and all the nurses were like, "you better hope s/he turns the right way! S/he should be head down by now!" Why does everyone INSIST on scaring me?
I was SO excited about my non-weight-gain that I took hot pics of myself….Welllll, I tried to look hot or, at least, preggogorj (it always amazes me the difference a scale can make to one’s self-esteem). And, check it — my hairs growing SO FAST….
I had SO much energy that morning. It was awesome. And, it was what I needed to get through the long day ahead.
LONG DAY:
Watch monkey’s swim class.
Go home with Josh to get his car.
Buy new toddler car seat for Josh’s car.
Install and/or reinstall all 3 car seats (one of the installation guys was a clone of Perez Hilton — freaked me right out).
Schlepped to IKEA to choose monkey’s new big-girl bed.
Home sweet home with BAD MOOD and SWOLLEN FEET.
By the end of the day, THIS was how I was feeling….
(Sorry about the video — I was hoping to get the movie clip from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off but can’t find it ANYWHERES.) So, now I realize that I not only suffer from prepartum depression, but I apparently have this condition called "SHOPPING RAGE." If it’s not a real term, it should be now, because I have it. I’m certain of it. For example, this was what may have been overheard at Ikea: "If someone walks in front of my stroller once more, I’m going to RUN THEM DOWN! Grrrrr!" Yeah, that’s me and my shopping rage. But, seriously, you should have seen my feet…. They were, like, bigger than my thighs. And, my thighs were swollen…. Especially after that lo-ong day.
Anyway, check my car now — it’s freaking me right out:
Two carseats! TWO! In my wee back seat. Freaking me right out. Freaking me RIGHT OUT!
Also freaking me right out is THIS:
She is FINALLY in her big-girl bed (after weeks of my nagging Josh-O to get the frick going on it! Grrrr!) My little monkey’s growing up so fast! And, BABY IS COMING!!!!!
So, this is what I look at when I step out of my bedroom….
Eeeeeee!!! Two kids. I’m going to be a MOM OF 2! Freaking me RIGHT OUT!
Anyway, I was starving after my long day of baby preparation, big-girl bed stuff, and shopping rage. So, we went to (what used to be…) my fave vegetarian restaurant. I got my fave veggie burger, sweet potato fries with spicy peanut sauce (spicy, yes…BIG MISTAKE), and vegan carrot cake. I topped it off with a glass of orange juice….. HOW STUPID WAS THAT?
I felt horribly SICK after that. And, I was up all night nauseous, gassy…, shaking from the pain! It was AWFUL. When I finally started to feel better and like I could go to sleep. A little someone decided to attack me with kisses….
…and I was in NO mood.
So, here I am. Sunday morning. I think I might be getting hungry.
But, I don’t know….
WORST COMMENT OF THE WEEK AWARD:
And, the worst comment of the week goes tooooooooooo….
THE WOMAN BEHIND THE COSMETICS COUNTER AT SHOPPERS DRUG MART!!! ("WBTCASDM"):
Me: That picture of Clive Owen is making me INSANE! [see below for poster — it’ll make YOU insane, too!)
WBTCASDM: Huh?
Me: Oh. Never mind….
WBTCASDM: So, how far along are you now?
Me: 34 weeks!
WBTCASDM: Oh, so, like, you could go any day now, huh?
Me: Um…no, I hope not.
WBTCASDM: It’s just that you’re looking really low now!
Me: Heh. Yeah. Umm. No. I’m still high. Still 6 weeks to go…. [beeyatch!]…
I HAVE NOT DROPPED I HAVE NOT DROPPED I HAVE NOT DROPPED. End of story.
I’m SO buying this poster. Think Josh-O will mind if I put it on my bedroom ceiling? I can stare up at it when I’m up all night with indigestion. Mmmmmm….
Come see how my little monkey’s doing in her new bed, and how my now infamous BURRRRPING is escalating at an alarming rate, at my personal blog THE CHEATY MONKEY!

Hi, I am 6 months pregnant, and I have the worst heartburn ever….I have it every night, regardless if I eat or not. I was taking Tums @ one point, but I felt as if I may have been taking them too much. Does anyone have any safe home remedies that may work? Your help will be greatly appreciated!!!! Thanks!!!!
We’re trying to find a Big Boy Bed for the Boy, and the one that you chose from IKEA is one of the ones we’re considering. How do you like it? More importantly, how does the the little monkey like it??
That’s going to be funny – driving around for six weeks with the new baby’s carseat unused in the backseat! Our van – since no car will hold us – has two booster seats and a car seat and it’s sort of startling to look back there and see ALL THOSE KIDS sometimes.
You look fabulous baby. Love the pouty shot.
I have the exact same view out my bedroom door only in reverse – baby’s on the left.
Same doors, trim everything. Cloud white?
Hales, you look beautiful. Wow, yes, right….2 kids. More luv, more fun.
p.s. Plaster that “hypenosey” poster everywhere!!!!! :-)))
i have THREE carseats! 🙂
…and i still don’t see the Clive appeal!!
Wow – you’re good…we never installed either car seats until I was actually in the hospitol & baby was delivered – LOL.
That meal sounded so good!!! Mmmmm sweet potatoe fries – want some! I could really go for a dessert now & I’m not pregnant.
You really do look wonderful in those pics & I am liking the hair.
I don’t think that Josh-O would take it!!
And I want carrot cake now!!:P
That “you have/haven’t dropped” comment was always a mystery to me, but so many people would say it. You are doing so well to have those carseats set up already. I was never that well-prepared!
oh that meal sounds delish but i have heartburn and indigestion just reading about it.oh you poor girl.you look fab.and yay for getting stuff in place before baby comes.in 6 weeks.wow!times going by faster now huh?and stupid people be quiet!you know i’m not a huge fan of clive (i like him…)but holy crap that is one sexy hot pic.whew i have to go and fan myself…
Ohhh … you should get the clive poster for the delivery room ceiling. You know – inspiration!!!
And, first of all – why do people always say you’ve dropped. Like, I got that all the time. And, I was going to weekly midwife appointments and they kept saying that no, I hadn’t. Yet, everyone else seemed to be convinced I had.
And, see, now that you’ve put the car seat in your car you most definitely will have to wait a few more weeks – cause that’s the way it works 🙂 (and that’s a good thing)
