still here 2

TEACHBROECK On 5:50 AM

Anyone know the date? HA!


I feel sooo much better than I did yesterday....sorry for being so whiny! (again) I should have just stayed home...but there was some plug losage last night and all the arrangements for K are made and 7am tomorrow the fun starts! I still feel tired and preggers but not in pain and misery like yesterday!





Plus how bad can it be when basically my summer vacation tomorrow! I have 3 kids (out of only 20) with a birthday today so it will be a fun day ...and who knows my water could still break at any minute ! Thank you for all the well wishes...most of you know I don't use the computer at home or I would never get anything done or have a marriage! But I will try to post asap!



I took Kdog out for breakfast this am ( I have been up since 4!) to celebrate our last morning as teacher and student!





GIDDY UP!

time

TEACHBROECK On 11:31 AM

First Day of school- August 2007
This morning - April 25, 2008 (it was Pj day)

4 days

TEACHBROECK On 5:38 AM

NO matter what Tuesday is my last day. My Dr scheduled an induction at 7 am Wednesday if I don't go before on my own. It is funny is that the first thing I thought of was work. With all the stress of my hardest kids ever, our small town ripped apart with our referendum, the cuts happening all around me, the fight over insurance ....I know I will miss it dearly.

Mostly. I will miss Kdog being in my class. I thought it would be a nightmare, and trust me we had our moments...early morning fights, eye rolls in class, nights I needed to go in my room and be AWAY from her ...but in the end it was one of the most unique, enjoyable experiences. I will miss being her teacher.



last bathroom shot?

TEACHBROECK On 6:44 AM

Think this will be the last public school bathroom shot I post?



I hope so....You all are so SWEET and EXCITED for us I can't thank you enough....




Here are some random weekend shots and 39 week belly shot!!
The Doc office was handing out freebies....K put this on and announced to the waiting room she was ready to give me my C section! HA

K and I got Pedicures together...

Then Jdog and I indulged in this little piece of heaven (Normally I am NOT an ice cream or chocolate Fan....I know I know something is wrong, but sweets are yumm when I am prego!)

39 weeks baby!

Gage dug up the subpump AGAIN!!! What a mess....

Ticker

TEACHBROECK On 5:45 AM

Does the ticker at the top of my blog actually say 8 days? HOLY CRAP!

I thought Friday was going to be the day. In the waiting room for the doctor I had my first contractions. Just at the top of my stomach....they hurt but nothing productive.


Doc checked me I was only 1-2cm and it hurt like a bisnitch to get "checked" He was going to "Strip" me but I was already teary and he did have the heart.


I used to be so tough...never cried...I think half of it is anxiety. The reality of it. Some of the past memories.

All in all I am trying to stay calm and peaceful. I walked and walked last night WILLING my water to break so I didn't need to come back to work...

Happy Monday!

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY

Weekend, belly and WTF?

TEACHBROECK On 12:40 PM

It was "Kdog's Weekend". We wanted her to have some fun and time just with us and a friend before babyH comes. Not that she will be excluded, but we won't be able to go anywhere for awhile and no matter how smooth the transition- I can imagine there will be some jealousy. SO of course we headed back to her idea of paradise.



When we went back in September K was very T'd OFF that she had to ride with Jdog in the Gokart because she was NOT tall enough for the GoKart...well she STILL was short by 3 inches but we told her to cruise through the line like she owned the place and they didn't question her !!! She was so HAPPY to drive her own car. Of course she was one of the slowest drivers out there (those dads are RUTHLESS!) But the look on her face when she came off the ride was priceless!
Next we headed to hotel (only 35 minutes from home but in the same town as my hospital JIC) because Kdog loves to swim! They swam for 4 hours...I turned the house upside down looking for my cute maternity suit from K (she was born in Sept so I had all summer to swim and had a job that required me to take kids to the pool) but I could not find it. and really buying one for one time...nope...that would cut into my NEWCUTEUNDERWEARANDBRAFUND for after Baby H is born...anyway.... I was kinda bummed because the water would have taken the weight off my back! I read and watched Jdog drink Bud Light...

Almost 38 weeks
One of the reasons I love hotels (well besides ordering pizza...they don't deliver to the boondocks) is not having any laundry to do, cleaning to get done, OR OR OR PETS TO DEAL WITH!
Guess what? There was a dog show in town and most of them stayed in our hotel! HA! Most of the dogs were stuck up little Chihuahuas with pink bows in their hair, but these white dogs were so beautiful. There were 3 right outside our door in the atrium. they look like polar bears. The girls loved up on them and they were calm as could be.



Finally, I have an entry for the UGLIEST BABY GIFT COMPETITION....really WTF is this? And choking hazzard? What was your worse baby gift and did you save it and whip it out when the person who GAVE it you came to visit?

Did I really post about a coon?

TEACHBROECK On 5:48 AM

Sorry ....I am so boring! I keep looking at that last post and thinking why?


Nothing is new....just waiting for the emergence of babyH. Wondering if it will be a big splash of water at school ...or a rip roaring contraction in the middle of the night....OR I will be a week overdue and get induced....the mystery of birth my friends.


Anyway...I am still reading...still around...just got nothing good to share!

Me: 37 weeks Him: ready to burst he is so excited for this baby. I love him.

I only wish I was making this up!

TEACHBROECK On 10:28 AM

I was just telling Becca that her possum photo gave me the butt tingles...and I thought the coon in our apple tree was bad...




THIS MORNING I heard the dog barking AGAIN! He is a pain in the ass, but he is not a "barker" . Sure as shit he had "TREED" (I think that is only a verb in my small town?!) ANOTHER COON!!!





The first one was in the backyard apple tree....it was shot so I KNOW this is not the same one...unless they didn't kill him dead and he crawled out from the depths of whatever forest they dumped him and has come to haunt us...





Where was I? Oh yhea so Of course I look outside and there is one in the FRONT yard this time...wayyyyyyyyyy up in the tree.





Becca next time let's talk about finding lots of money. Then maybe it will happen!

ME...36 weeks...tired of the yard drying up and then getting dumped on again, tired of waiting, tired of people saying "It is worth the wait", tired by the time I get out of the shower at 8am, tired of feeling like I want to cry, tired of work, tired of putting my socks on, tired of walking up stairs.
TIRED
