Random Snippets From The Creepy Prego

Can't sleep. Need to give birth. Since neither of those are happening at this very moment I will share some random thoughts.

* Aaron asked me if I was the little girl from Signs the other day because I had water glasses all over the house. I think he has a point because right now I can think of at least 4 that are floating about. Man I hate it when he is right!

*Really clean things make me happy. Too bad it only lasts for about 2.5 seconds in our house.

*When you are trying to reason with your toddler and tell them something and they either don't do as you asked or they flat out say "No tanks Mama, I no wanna." and you give them that WTF face think twice. After doing that a few times they pick up on it and add that same facial expression in when they say no to whatever it is you are asking.

*Nothing against moms with Minivans. I have friends that drive them. However, I NEVER EVER thought I would understand why people get them. Now that I am trying to fit 2 car seats into my seemingly large SUV I am starting to get the appeal. Automatic sliding doors, space, your kid being able to hop down from their car seat without face planting into the back of the passenger seat in the process. I bought my car when I was 21 and car seats weren't exactly something that ever crossed my mind then! And while I don't think that I will cross over into the world of vanhood I may at times find myself slightly envious of those of ya that have them!

*I think I have said this before but I don't care.Pregnant people should automatically get a discount on toilet paper while pregnant. It's like a senior citizen discount. We have put in our time and we deserve it! No wonder Costco's #1 selling item is the TP, all of us pregos have to stock up!

*Costco pub mix, ice cold rootbeer, fro yo and cereal are not something that should be consumed close together. I learned this tonight. Ugh, I think I am going to be sick just reading that!

*Don't wait until 5 seconds before you give birth to start working on the nursery. I am down to one of the very last projects and didn't have one thing I needed to complete it and I am certain that is why I can't sleep tonight! I work well under pressure but this is just torture!

*Men need to understand that there is no reasoning with their wife or baby mama when it comes to nesting towards the end of pregnancy. If 4am is when you want to scrub floors, so be it! If you ask us to relax we may go crazy on you. Just sayin.

*Children hear EVERYTHING you say! Even when you are frustrated with your stubborn dog and say something like "stupid dog" quietly under your breath they hear you! They also choose to repeat such phrases at the worst times. Like calling some random Grandma in the waiting room or the midwife (who I have never met before, she was filling in for mine at my last appt) a stupid dog after they kindly asked her what her name was. Yeah, how do you come back from that?! Oh, sorry...it's not you, we just yell things like that at our dog and she somehow picked up on it. Imagine that!

*When I was pregnant with Kaelyn I was HUGE. By HUGE I mean I weighed 30+ pounds more at the end of that pregnancy compared to this one. A few weeks before I was due I was in Metropolitan Market, not sure what I was buying probably ice cream sammies. The checker was a nice lady she had rang me up numerous times before. She has a VERY loud voice and she looked at me and said "GIRL! What you got twins in there? Shoot, bet you can't wait to have them babies!" I told her there was just one, left and I actually think I cried. Now I know that she was just trying to make conversation but when you are hormonal there isn't much rational thinking. After that I would never go into her checkout line again. Fast forward a few years to my bday last week. Aaron and I stopped into Metro after our lovely dinner since we never go there anymore and just happened to be in the area. We get in line to check out and I hear the voice!! Ahh! This time she said "When are you due?" I said a little less than 3 weeks. I don't remember exactly what she said but it was something like "You look great, is this your first baby?!" In my head I wanted to say no B remember me, you called me a fatty years ago!?! Instead I said "No- We have an almost 3 year old girl as well." Her response you ask???? "Well my name is Roxanne and when that baby comes you be sure to tell your other girl that I said shes the best big sister in the whole world!"  Major points Roxanne, major points. Good thing Kaelyn wasn't with us or she probably would have used that time to spit out one of the fabulous phrases she's been into lately like "stupid dog." Or "what's wrong wit you maaan!"

* I don't really care how creepy this sounds but I could watch my kid sleep all night. She is just so cute and since it is one of the only times she isn't talking I can just stare at her and be amazed at how perfect she is. Aaron and I are so lucky to be blessed with a healthy kid that has a pretty entertaining personality to boot! It's easy to get frustrated throughout the day and forget how lucky I really am to be a mom. Even though some days I don't feel lucky until the house is finally quiet and everyone is sleeping!

Happy Friday folks!!! Maybe next week we will be a family of 4 + 1 fur child! :)
