i always want to post this here but i keep forgetting.
throughout my pregnancy my doctor pretty much starts all of my appointments the same way... just asking questions to make sure everything is okay. this past week the exchange was little different than usual.
Dr.: "Still pregnant? "
Me: "Quite!"
Dr.: "Any vaginal bleeding? Big gush of clear watery fluid?"
Me: "Nope!"
Dr.: "Darn."
haha. he's getting excited too! or he wants one less patient. hmmm.
he then proceeded to tell me i am full term and basically some day between now and christmas i'll be having a baby.
my next appointment is Thursday afternoon so we'll see if anything is happening then.
our kitchen is basically done! we're missing doors for the sink cabinet and ikea discontinued the ones we have for the other cabinets so we'll have to either get the ones that look almost exactly the same or we'll just pick new doors for the whole kitchen. there aren't many cabinets so it wouldn't be a huge deal, plus doors are cheap!
the only thing left to do (until we have money to buy the two more cabinets we want) is mount the microwave above the stove.
i did dishes in my sink, IN MY KITCHEN tonight. it was so nice.
also, we're more or less done with painting the bedroom. a few pieces of trim need some touching up.
however we still don't have the hardware for the crib. i am more than pissed. it's been two weeks since i called them and they said it *could* take 3-4 weeks, but i assumed they were over-estimating like most places do. apparently they were not!
i plan on calling tomorrow and trying to see if i can get a tracking number or something because when they ship them, they are shipping them UPS.
then hopefully we can finish up the rest of the painting and put things where they are going to go.
there's still this corner in the living room that needs some serious help, but we will just have to see if we get to it or not. it would be nice to have it done but it's really not an immediate need.
uh, i think that's all for now. i'm distracted by football.

I am 37 weeks pregnant this week. Which means I'm technically full term and Feets can make her appearance anytime she pleases with very little needed help after she's born.
Personally, I think she's gonna hold out until *at least* her due date... if not later.
I saw the doctor yesterday and my cervix is still all closed up and she's still sitting up pretty high. I have cervical checks weekly from here on out so we'll know if any progress is taking place... but I'm sure it'll be a while.
Oh, and since it's Thanksgiving...
I'm thankful for all the things one should be thankful for... family, friends, being alive in general... but mostly this year I am thankful for Joey and Feets. I'm thankful that we didn't have to go through more than what we did to have this little person in our lives and I can't wait to meet her!
We're going to Joey's dads house today to have the Thanksgiving spread of food. I'm excited because I really love turkey.

i have the severe urge to nest and i can't right now because everything is half done. i can't fold Feets' clothes over and over and make the crib up a hundred times because none of it is put together yet. we still have so much work to do and only a few weeks to get it done.
so i cleaned the kitchen and the bathroom and now i'm exhausted and frustrated and crying because i just want this place to be in one piece when she gets here and i'm getting increasingly afraid that it isn't going to happen.
joey sensed my frustration and now we're working on the living room together.
and i wanted to bake cookies tonight but that's just not in the cards.

Last night was birth class. We learned techniques for pushing and watched a birth video. Did more relaxation and breathing stuff. It almost seems pointless but it'll be nice if I can remember all this stuff while I am in labor.
We talked about the medications that are offered but since it's natural birth class we all just sat there disgusted. It was pretty funny stuff.
Three more birth classes left! And the last one is breastfeeding, but I will meet with a lactation consultant in the hospital so we may or may not attend (and my Medicaid assigned nurse is also a lactation consultant!) Just kind of depends on the weather and my general feeling toward going outside at that point since it will be December 8th and 6 days before my due date.
Today was my appointment and I had my group B strep test, so I guess I'll hear about that next Wednesday at my next appointment. Joey even stayed in the room while I had my vagina swabbed, what a trooper.
Feets is still head down, I am guessing she's not going anywhere, because frankly I don't think she has the room to turn around completely. She's still really high up, so he says I "have a ways to go" and I'm wondering exactly what he means by that. Due date? or like... Christmas? Haha. I don't mind either way because I still feel great really. Outside of the pain from SPD which is only bad some days, I really don't have any complaints. I think Dr. Pranikoff is not used to women being comfortable in their 9th month of pregnancy because he always seems so impressed when I tell him I feel fantastic.
We're chilling at Joey's dads house right now and I am hoping that this evening they will take us to Ikea so we can get our dresser. I desperately need to go through all the clothing Feets has gotten from everyone and sort it out by size, wash it, and put it in her dresser!
We went to Target today and got the pack and play, so I finally feel like we have all the "big ticket" items we wanted. I would still like a Boppy and the swing that matches the rest of our set up, but Gwyn told me to leave some stuff for her to buy. Haha.
I also want Joey to talk to his dad about coming out this weekend or next week (since he's on vacation the whole week) to finish up the house. Really we just need to paint one wall in the bedroom and finish the trim.
Repair part of the livingroom wall (that used to be a closet) and then paint that and also finish the trim in there.
Touch up paint in the kitchen, lay the floor and put up the cabinets.
Then we can set up the stuff in the bedroom and be totally ready for whenever Feets decides she's ready. =)
It sounds like a lot but if you saw it all, it's really not a whole lot.
People who want to come visit should seriously do it. We love having company. Plus it gives me a reason to be less lazy and clean!

Today was the baby shower and it was tons of fun.
Feets got lots of gifts and lots of love from her family and friends. My sister had everyone write notes to the family and they are so sweet! That'll be a cute thing to have to show her when she's older. =)
We pretty much have everything we're gonna need to start our life with Feets here in just a few more weeks. I'm 9 months pregnant today, 30 days away from my due date.
I ended up with two breast pumps so this week I'm gonna take one back and get a Boppy. My grandma gave me a giftcard to get the pack and play, so we will probably pick that up too while we're there.
We still have a few things to get done... I'm gonna make a list.
Finish painting the kitchen, lay the flooring, and install the cabinets.
Finish painting the bedroom and put together the crib.
Joey's dad and step-mom are getting us a dresser, so we will need to put that together too.
Then we have to move our clothes from the dresser they are in now to the new one and put all of Feets' clothes in the old one.
Lots and lots of pictures to come as things start to fall in line.
I'm so tired so I am sure this is lacking in the "making sense" department.

This is my last week without a doctors appointment for a while. And I'm gonna live it up! By going to jobs and family services to have them fix some stuff. FUN TIMES.
Last night was birth class, and it was pretty interesting. Just learned about stages of labor, how to tell real labor from false labor, and practiced some relaxation techniques. We used birth balls. When I took the hospital tour, they said they have them in every room and I'm like "Yeah whatever, good to have I guess. But after having sat on one for a majority of class last night and then sitting on one while we did fake contractions, it's safe to say I will be using one. =)
We did the relaxation stuff and the teacher suggested that you have your "birth partner" (aka Joey) squeeze your upper arms or your legs to simulate the pain of a contraction. i am pretty sure Joey and I were the only ones who actually did this. I didn't see the point in NOT doing it, I have to have something to relax through or I'm not going to know if my relaxation techniques work. And Joey's deathgrip on my arms was probably the equivalent of early contraction pain, just in the total wrong spot. Haha.
I've never had any worries about my body knowing what it's supposed to do when the time comes but these breathing techniques and whatnot seem like they will be helpful.
I'm getting really anxious about meeting my daughter. I wonder who she'll look like and act like. I can't believe we're only 33 days away from possibly meeting her. So incredibly close.
From what I can tell I haven't had any/many Braxton Hicks contractions, and I am hoping that this will mean NOTHING when it comes time for my body to have real contractions. Maybe my uterus is already super awesome? Maybe!
My baby shower is Saturday which is also pretty exciting, it doesn't appear that many people have shopped off of my registry though so I am hoping we don't end up with doubles or a bunch of stuff we just don't need.

I always forget to actually update. Oops.
My baby shower is all set up and ready to go. I made the invitations myself and i have to say I am quite proud of how they turned out. I forgot to put the time of day on them because my brain is currently liquid.
I even scanned one to show you all!
( it's over yonder. )
Joey's mom bought us a crib and mattress today! We're so excited. It could be here as early as Monday!!!
I’m 34 weeks and 2 days today. We’re down to 40 days until my due date.
Last night we attended the second birth class. it was all about nutrition during the third trimester and during breastfeeding. Pretty boring stuff. Everyone in there seems pretty cool. There’s a super crunchy couple and the woman was up stretching at one point, eating an apple and some cheese she was cutting with a pocket knife, and rubbing her exposed belly.
Another woman didn't get a joke I made and I think I really offended her.
Her husband mentioned they might be moving to Chicago because his office is closing down here, either that or be jobless. And I said "It's almost worth it to be jobless after seeing the way people drive in Chicago!" and she was like "or maybe not since we are having a baby." in a really snotty voice. Get a grip lady, I was kidding.
We missed the first week, last week, because I wrote down that it was at Christ Hospital and it most definitely was not there. So, last week I got home from Chicago, got in my car with Joey and drove down to Clifton to Christ only to find it wasn't there. The teacher and I contacted each other (after she had the wrong phone number for me!) and she told me where it really is and that I didn't really miss anything, so that's good. I'm excited and slightly nervous that Feets will want to show up before the last class, which is on December 8th... 6 days before I am due. Haha.
I had my H1N1 vaccine last Wednesday. I'm still alive. Holy crap, it's not government poison!
My friend Phil is coming over next week and him and Joey are going to finish the kitchen. I am so excited I could explode. I think Joey and I will finish the bedroom this week and get that out of the way. So the only room unfinished will be the livingroom but that doesn't need a lot of work really. Repair part of a wall and pant, and that will be done.
The bathroom is a completely different story but we'll get to that when we have money for a total remodel of that stupid room.
I think there was probably other stuff I wanted to write about but Feets is having a dance party right now and she makes it really hard to type!

woke up this morning extra early for some reason.
got a call from the doctor saying they got their H1N1 vaccines in, and if i wanted mine i needed to get there before 5pm or they would give it to someone else! and this prevents me from having to get up tomorrow to go to the clinic and stand in line to MAYBE get the vaccine.
so joey and i got ready to leave.
i checked my bank account to find out that it had overdrafted from some bullshit thing that i didn't want to sign up for but the lady who opened my account sweet talked me. i knew i would forget that the payment was coming out, i just KNEW it. so it came out before 4 other charges (that i had accounted for and put in my ledger and everything, i was doing SO good with my money) and charged me 4 overdraft fees. so there goes $100 of my $156 from unemployment for the week.
i went into the bank to try to see if they could do anything about any of the overdraft fees. they can refund one as a courtesy and two more if i pay two bills online through the banks website (because that gives them revenue and if they are making money off of me they can give me more back? i guess.)
then we went to Aurgroup to see about what to do for the car payment. they basically gave me the month of october off, which was nice but i had to go in to figure out when and how much they were gonna want from me now. we asked about refinancing because frankly the $100 a week bullshit they pulled on us before was just not working out anymore.
we couldn't refinance with Joey's name still on the car because he's currently unemployed with no income. so they ran mine and found that it would work. our interest rate went from an awesome 7% to a not so awesome 12% but my payments now are only $218 a month. which is way more manageable than the $400 sometimes $500 they were getting before. and now i can pay that bill online through my bank, so that will help get some of those overdraft fees refunded. yay!
finally i went and got my H1N1 vaccine. took about 45 seconds, then i had to wait for 15 minutes after to make sure i wasn't foaming at the mouth or anything crazy before i could leave. i feel fine and i'm not dead yet so that's pretty good. haha. i have no worries about this vaccine. and now Feets is vaccinated too, so no sick baby! i'm gonna have a hard enough time just figuring out what i am doing, let alone if she had gotten the flu (of any kind!)
we went out to dinner with my family, it's like a ritual on my mom's payday. and i never turn down free food. Rib City USA in fairfield, by Jungle Jim's... that place is SO GOOD. om nom nom nom.
in other (sad) news, Babe (our kittens mama) is down to under 3 pounds, isn't breathing very well, and isn't eating. they took her to the vet and she's full of tumors, so my guess is that she has feline leukemia. she is almost 17 in human years, so she's had quite a full life. and if you live in the area and have a cat they are most likely related to Babe... she got around, if you know what i mean. i hope that we get to see her again before she is gone, but we won't be able to til friday and it's not likely that she will make it that long. =(
*edit* she passed away today.

we're actually southwest of the city and i'm not familiar with the public transportation (plus i'm trying to avoid getting sick at all costs) so tomorrow i will just be hanging out here while she's at work. then we're gonna go out to dinner.
tonight we went to Portillo's Hot Dogs and holy crap it was delicious! all beef hot dog with mustard, relish, tomatoes, a dill pickle, and "sport peppers" on a poppy seed bun. it was seriously good and serious business.
now we're back at the hotel, christina basically passed out as soon as we got back and i'm just sitting here online. but i am getting sleepy too. stinking car rides make me so tired.
that's pretty much it for now i guess.

i'm 30 weeks 2 days pregnant today, just under 10 weeks left. crazy.
went to the doctor for my normal appointment. talked to him about my birth plan, that went well. sounds like everyone is going to go pretty smoothly as far as that is concerned. i don't really even need a birth plan because Bethesda North/my doctor are really good listeners. plus, he agreed with me that birth plans are kind of insulting to a doctor depending on what you put in it. i mean, he's been delivering babies since i was a child, so i have confidence that he knows what he's doing without me giving him a plan. haha.
he confirmed that i have symphasis pubis dysfunction. he said there's really not much they can do for it anyhow. just take tylenol when i need it, be careful doing the things that really irritate it, and it'll go away after the baby is born. or it won't but that's a bridge we'll cross if we get there.
so the pain sucks, but i will push through it. glad to know i'm not crazy for thinking i have SPD, that is for sure. haha.
i've discovered i have a limit on how much walking i can do before being in excruciating pain though, and today i broke that limit because i am dying right about now. and i think my pelvis/legs hate me.
also, we've decided not to cloth diaper. we're just not in a laundry situation that is really going to work out for us the way we'd like it to. but we are going for all natural/hypoallergenic disposables so hopefully we won't have any problems with them.

went to the dentist last week to get fillings in two of my teeth. they scheduled me to come back today, for what i thought was going to be a cleaning.
but they marched me past all the cleaning rooms back to the room i was in last week.
BECAUSE I HAD MORE CAVITIES. hi yeah, that would have been nice to know before i showed up. so i hadn't eaten anything since 10am and here we were at 2 in the afternoon shooting up my gums with novocaine as to make sure the rest of what i do eat today falls out of my mouth and is barely enjoyable.
so the guy goes to give me the novocaine and tells me not to look. to which i reply "i've donated two gallons of blood, i'm not really afraid of your needle."
does my fillings and tells me to see the receptionist on my way out.
i see her and she says "alright, we'll send you a postcard when it's time for your check-up!"
WHAT THE FUCK? the biggest reason i wanted to see the dentist was to get my teeth CLEANED and these people just cause me all sorts of pain (one of my fillings from last week is extremely sensitive to cold, wasn't even aware of the cavity, but the filling hurts!) and neglect to clean my teeth. it's bull crap.
i should have known though because this dentist is seriously in the ghetto.

Since we've moved in we've been "working" on the kitchen. And I use "working" in the loosest sense of the word.
There was basically nothing in the kitchen when we moved in.
Two wall cabinets and a sink.That was all. We bought a brand new stove and fridge, then we bought new cabinets and flooring. We have yet to get around to installing any of our new cabinetry or the flooring partially because of the pre-existing sink.
It was a cast iron sink sitting on top of an old metal cabinet. We dreaded how heavy it would be so we just kept putting off remodeling the kitchen. Well I decided that it was something we needed to hurry up and get done since in about 73 days we aren't gonna have a whole lot of spare time.
So I put the sink up on Craigslist in hopes that someone would want it. I had two people call but they called the day we realized we couldn't shut the water off without turning off water to the entire house, thanks to the awesome plumbing in this 109 year old house. Well a guy called yesterday who also does some plumbing on the side, he said he would like to come take a look for us. He came by and told us exactly what to do to get it out and install shut off valves so no one else has the same issue... then he asks if we want him to take it right then!
He actually paid for the valves too, so we got rid of the sink and cabinet and got free plumbing done.
So now we're sinkless in the kitchen until we finish painting the walls and get the new flooring down.
As I am sure you can imagine this leaves us with limited options for washing dishes. We decided we'll just wash them in the tub until we can get the new sink in. I did some yesterday, sitting outside of the tub and leaning in to wash them, but the belly was seriously in the way.
Joey washed them last night basically while he was in the shower, so tonight it was my turn.
First of all, I rinsed them with the detachable showerhead like you wouldn't believe. I just couldn't fathom taking a shower with little bits of food that might have been left on the dishes. And I don't know if it was the combination of heat/bending/being 7 months pregnant/tired or what but I seriously thought I was going to pass out.
As soon as I got out I told Joey we need to get this stinkin' kitchen done soooooon!
I'm probably too tired to make any sense right now. I just have to say publicly that washing dishes in the tub is one of the most awkward things I've ever had to do.

so tonight i was sitting at 5-points in hamilton at a red light.
and the next thing i know my car moves forward a foot without my doing.
some guy in a chevy astro van rear-ended me!
i pull over into the pizza place that is there (you know, the one that looks like a prime place to contract a deadly disease?) and my sister gets out to check the damage. i get out too and notice that the light turned green and we watched the guy speed off into the night!
i notice the color of his vehicle (grey), the plates were temporary and started with either "O2" or "02", and he was hispanic.
so we verify that my car is okay, get back in, and follow him. we follow him up tylersville road all the way to the bypass where he turns right on red but the guy in front of me is going straight and the traffic on the bypass has the green light now so he's gone. long gone.
so frustrating. i can't even explain it to you.
so far everyone is okay. just shaken up. and pissed off.

to make a decision on a name. haha.
we found out yesterday that we are having a girl! while i was mildly bummed that our first will not be a boy, i'm more nervous that we can't seem to really settle on a name!
for now we're just making a huge list and slowly narrowing it down. girl names are so hard to pick from.
i've been trying really hard not to add everything pink i can find to our registry. poor joey's eyes would fall out of his head. =) i'm also practicing restraint on buying Hello Kitty things, and if you know me, you know this is a very difficult thing.
come december joey will be outnumbered 4 to 1. Zelda, Velma, me and the baby! bwahahaha.
at yesterdays ultrasound she was measuring at 27 weeks 6 days, and i was 28 weeks 2 days. so we're doing very well. she was moving around a lot! she's even head down, which explains my ridiculous and random pelvic/hip pains. i am hoping she enjoys the position she's in and stays that way for another 11 and a half weeks or so.
below are some pictures! they didn't give us a picture of her girl parts, but she showed us and it was pretty obvious. haha.
also, we took a tour of the maternity ward. and i am most certain i have made the right choice in hospitals. their policies coincide with all of our wishes for labor and childbirth. the birthing suites are HUGE and gorgeous! the recovery rooms are a little small, but i'm not supposed to have many visitors while "recovering" anyhow.
i'm so excited about the birth of this little girl!

this weekend joey, my sister, and myself went to the Preble County Pork Festival and it was awesome. lots of local farmers and vendors selling stuff and making delicious food.
the whole town smelled like a pork chop, and i did not complain.
all photo credit goes to Joey!
( here are some pictures! )
tomorrow is the (probably last) ultrasound i will be having. i'm really excited and hopeful that Feets wants us to know what sex s/he is!
i'm 83 days away from my due date and i'm getting anxious! we still have so much preparing to do. not just buying/setting stuff up but we still haven't finished painting the bedroom! the kitchen is still basically untouched. oh no! we need to get our asses moving.
i got the last spot in an unmedicated birthing class and that starts every Tuesday from October 7th until December 8th. so lets just hope i don't go into labor before then. =)

i'm sitting here 1 day from the third trimester, it's so surreal! 92 days until my due date, it's just crazy to think about.
we're getting more and more excited about meeting this little person who seems to enjoy kicking the crap out of me. =) which just so happens to be one of the coolest feelings in the world.
Joey got a job back at Lens Crafters, only up in Dayton. so of course that is just awesome.
i had my gestational diabetes test wednesday, they said they'd have results within 24 hours. but i called thursday and they didn't have them yet, so the nurse told me maybe friday. but no call on friday. so hopefully monday. haha. i'm nervous!
i have no appointments this week.
ultrasound the 23rd.
dentist the 20th.
back to Pranikoff on the 7th.
and then i am pretty sure i start seeing him every 2 weeks. HOLY CRAP!
i signed up to do a Memory Walk for the Alzheimer's association. Heather, Nicole and Jenny all joined my team. Jenny had a bunch of homework this weekend though so it was just Heather, Nicole, and myself walking.
so we get to where this walk is supposed to be, it's in this GATED COMMUNITY. (wetherington in west chester) and everyone around us is in like Adidas and Nike jogging suits and wearing headbands and shit. and driving Range Rovers and BMW's. and we felt incredibly out of place.
so we didn't walk.
but we raised $100! so that is something.
Joey's grandma has a pretty serious case of Alzheimer's so i felt compelled to do something if i could.
also, when we got our kitchen cabinets from Ikea we ordered everything except 2 cabinets that go by the fridge, for money reasons.
and the doors that go on our sink cabinet were out of stock. well now they have DISCONTINUED our doors. so we'll have 3 pieces of cabinetry that have different doors. we're currently trying to figure out how to deal with this. there are other white doors that are different textures. but i'm thinking of just getting totally different doors and using them as accent pieces or something.
today, watching football. and hoping for some kind of miracle for the Bengals. i'm sorry Chad, i can't take your made up last name seriously. Ochocinco isn't even a real number.

That's the name of the place where I got a job today taking tickets. It's a Halloween attraction right up the road from my old house. This was from the email my new boss...
"A little more about Toxicity, it was a laboratory that did research with radiation in the 1950s, without knowing the ultimate effects. Their hope was to use it to cure disease and end hunger by creating larger crop yields, but what they found was more horrific than anyone could have ever imagined. In 1959 a tragic accident in the labs reactor trapped everyone..and everything inside the lab. Now after having laid in a state of decay for fifty years, the lab was recently re-discovered... and some of the experiments still remain."
So that is on Friday and Saturday nights. Then some nights are camp out nights and you can spend the night at the place and it's going to be AWESOME. And some nights are "Patient Zero" nights and they're zombie themed.
I'm totally stoked.
It's only like 14 nights of work and I'll still be getting some unemployment because I won't be making enough to take over all of it.
It should be fun! I even get to dress up!
