It's been a few days since I checked in here, so how is everyone?

I'm doing okay; I took it very easy this weekend. The rest and relaxation did me some good. I'm feeling more and more tired lately. I know part of that is I can't sleep worth a crap. Besides being interrupted by frequent bouts of urination, I've started to get more pain in my hips and legs while I'm trying to sleep. The body pillow helps, but I'm thinking that in a few weeks I may have to start sleeping while I'm sitting on the couch.

The only problem with that is I'd have to walk all the way upstairs every time during the night that I had to pee. That doesn't sound like much fun to me. I think what I might do if I continue to get crappy sleep is sleep in my glider.

Of course because I'm not sleeping well all other things suffer a little. It's starting to get hard working full time. I'm going to continue to do it for about another month if I can, despite the being tired. I have a doctor’s appointment in a few days, and if he says everything is okay, I'll stay on 40hrs a week for a bit more.

What I really want to do is stay home and sit on the couch all day, but I know after three or four days of that it would drive me crazy. I figure as long as I'm working I'm getting some human interaction, I'm being productive with my day (whether I want to or not), I'm making money, and I'm not sitting home alone going crazy. :)

In more baby news, I will have Muffin's crib in a few weeks. I'm very excited about this and in case you didn't know, I have the best Mommie EVAH!

MD's mom was supposed to be in charge of my baby shower, but she hasn't done anything to get one set up. I am very shocked and amazed by this...NOT!

Luckily I have people here who love and care about me, and they are making sure I have a shower. The girls at work have something planned and it makes me so happy to know that even though people I love are far away, there are people close by that I love too <3

MD’s mom stayed at the house Saturday night, with two of his brothers and she wanted to know what kind of crib MD and I wanted. I have told her before that Mommie is getting the crib, but I guess she wasn’t listening (another big shock, I know). MD and I explained the one we had picked out. I told MD’s mom that Mommie and I had picked it out when we went shopping for one together, and this information (surprisingly enough) flew right in one ear and out the other. MD’s mom said she found a crib at Kmart for 90 dollars and that we should let her get that one. MD looked at me and I just shrugged at him in the “give up and let it go” signal.

She knows Mommie is getting the crib, and that happens to be the one thing she has offered to buy. Coincidence? I think not.

I won’t get into specifics, but MD’s mom and Mommie were friends for a while, they had a falling out and have not spoken since. The first thing MD’s mom said to me when we told her we were having a baby is that she needed to rekindle the friendship with Mommie.

What?

Her reasons for the rekindling:
She needs to know what Mommie is buying for the baby so she doesn’t buy the same thing (forget that Mommie is not the only family I have, and forget that these other family members that MD’s mom has never even met will be buying things for Muffin, she needs to be friends with Mommie so she doesn’t double gift)

My response, make sure you include the receipt will all your purchases, and if anyone else buys the same thing, I’ll just take it back : )

Her other reason, they are both going to be grandmas now and they need to bond over the birth of this child.

I will admit that I did Pfffffttttt out loud when she said this. I’m sorry, I couldn’t help it; it just slipped out, but come on!

I was straight with her, I told her that it didn’t matter that I was having a baby, that I could have ten thousand babies and Mommie still would not want to have anything to do with her.

MD’s mom took it in her usual way, in one ear and out the other.

I talked to Mommie after this and told her about the conversation and Mommie told me that if I were asking her to be in contact with MD’s mom that she would do it. As much as I appreciated that, I was NOT asking her to do that. So, now I’ve got MD’s mom who finds out Mommie is buying the crib and decides that she wants to get a crib.

Funny how that works out.

I’m not worried about it, I told MD to tell his mom that I have an entire registry full of stuff that she is more than welcome to purchase instead of the crib.

Two months from today is Muffin's due date, he's due Sept. 7th. I don't know if he'll arrive on time or not, that is definitely not something I can plan. I know the little buggah will be here when he’s good and ready and that’s just fine by me (for now).
