Induction

Tomorrow they induce me, unless somehow my body decides to do what it is suppose to do. I'm pretty nervous about this and also sick by it. It's so not what we want. I wish I could just make my body do what it needs to do. I'll try to post and update about the baby as soon as we are back. Hopefully at least by Friday.

bummed

that's all I'm going to say. I'm pretty bummed. Thoughts and prayers please.

Baby...........

is still not here! I'm getting nervous about an induction, but trying to not get too worked up because that'll probably make the baby not come! I am hopeful it is soon, like the next few days soon. I have finally gotten to the point of not being very comfortable. I think it's because the baby has dropped. Plus Chip and I seem to be sick, him moreso than me, I think I've just been fighting it for days.

So no baby yet. Send lots of labor vibes.

stressed

I should have posted a blog last night. We got some good news, Chip is getting a raise, it's nothing huge, but it'll be enough to really help out. But we don't know when it'll take effect, some are saying it'll be awhile. Until then, and until we straighten out some other financial things, we are just a total sinking ship without any life boats, and no one can hear the SOS call.

I guess that is why it's called Lent. At first I was thinking that maybe this Lent would be one of blessing and good things for us, but I'm not thinking that so much.

We have been trying to find out if Chip is baptized. Talk about a nightmare. I just want to get the ball rolling with this annulment thing so we can have a sacramental marriage, and nothing goes smoothly at all. His dad had said he was baptized as an infant, which I had figured meant that he was dedicated, as it was in a protestant church. I didn't think any of them did infant baptisms. We heard back from someone a few days ago, who Chip is going to call for clarification today, but she says he was baptized as well, but we don't' know if she is referring to one as an infant or one that we can't find any proof of around age 12, no one remembers, and the church has never responded to our requests for information. So come to find out, there are protestant churches that do infant baptism. This is NOT good at all, not at all. Which means that if his Aunt says, yes it was as an infant, Chip has to call his dad, which I KNOW he doesn't want to do, and ask him what church he was baptized in as an infant. It's like pulling teeth man. And a very stubborn tooth that just won't budge.

Try as I might, I have a hard time not feeling like the person that always gets dumped on. Nothing can ever go right without just heaps of bad stuff going on top. Try, and try to not feel bad for yourself, as that just makes it worse, but the second you get good news, it's followed by at least three things that are worse.

I need more than just myself telling me it'll all be okay. Because right now, I'm really not believing myself at all.

bored

I am so incredibly bored. I have about 50 things I could be doing, but I'm suppose to be resting, or taking it easy. The thing is that I could probably get most every thing I really need to get done, done with tonight. But I'd be very swollen tomorrow, and that's not good. :)

It is kitty nap time again, so I can't vacuum, they are horribly scared of that machine. Hopefully they wake up soon.

I also have no clue what to have to dinner. I'm starving and can't think of anything that sounds good. Although, a cookie sounds good, but none of those here, and I ate all the cake.

Yay!

Finally after, I think, 6 weeks, we are ice free! The front of our house faces north, so it NEVER sees the light of day, so the ice from the first storm back in January was still hanging around. Tonight I went out, and it's all gone! I never thought that would happen. No more slipping to the car. Of course, in the grand scheme of Missouri weather, we are suppose to get a little snow tonight. I'm kind of bummed by this. Hopefully it won't stick. I really don't want to have to go back to mopping everyday!

Saturday's randomness

It is raining and cloudy. Makes for a good day for sleeping. Which reminds me that I'm pretty tired. I tell you, there is always something to be found to do. I could keep myself busy for hours every day, even if I think I may be bored (like tonight), I know there are at least five things I can do right now. Of course I'm not suppose to be doing much. :)

It is kitty nap time right now. I love kitty nap time. It's so cute to watch them all sleeping, they each have a spot the usually pick. So far, 6 cats hasn't been as bad as I was thinking it would be. If the big cats would use the big litter box there'd be no problem at all. But they insist on using the little one that the kittens can get into, so that little tiny box has to be changed twice a day. Cats!

In other news, I'm about 2 days from my due date I think. I can never remember if it was the 25th or the 26th, but it's one of those days. I'm starting to finally feel a little ready. But not completely yet. Still don't have the car seat in the car! Besides other little projects that need to be done.

Tonight I hope to be having a little spa night. Going to take a nice shower, and then a nice bath. The hot water only lasts for a little bit, like 10 minutes, so that's why I'll do both. Then I think I'll paint my toe nails, that is if I can get to them! :)
