HI all.
Sorry I'm such an infrequent poster.
I was just reading up on all the happenings. And I'm in the same boat!
Visit to Peds Weds, followed by OB. Freddie sleeping only 2-3 hours at a time now, and waking fussy and kicking and trying to roll over, but when I "help him roll" he's PISSED and cries more. Nurse him to sleep, then I'm awake for a while.
Sleep deprivation has me yelling at DH, throwing things around, crying a lot, etc. So Peds said "find ...

Sorry I've lamed out and been a lag... so much going on! Now getting good at one-handed typing while Fred Jr nurses :-).


My quicky update:
* We planned to move to save $ in rent and found a larger home... over the course of three weeks we moved 20% of our stuff over, then found out owner had unlicensed contractor use high VOC varnish in entire home, we backed out of lease and rushed to un-move and are now un-packing...extended lease in current home- we now have up to ...

OK girls, first an apology! My sister was in town for 5 days and monopolized my PC, didn't let me on! I had my BlackBerry to txt and email from, but getting to FT from the hospital would have been too much of a challenge for their poor little wi-fi connection and my old phone.

OK so YES I am alive! And YES I'm doing well!

Fred Junior is asleep as I type this, just finished the mid-day meal and a walk up & down our hallway to get him to sleep. Whew. Fred Senior ...

August 10th-
We nested yesterday- cleaned garage (DH, I supervised), mowed lawn (DH, I supervised), wash/ wax / detail every inch of both cars (me and DH helped). I used to compete in car shows so I love having every millimeter squeaky clean and smelling of marshino (sp) cherries- the Mothers line of interior spray smells like cherries . Its the cleanest our cars will be in 18 years I'm sure but its my pride to have a car that is flawless . We met thru the Audi Club too so its our 'thing' ...

Had our first "OMG this may be IT" last night.
Friend (the plumber dude) left by 9 pm, DH and I tidied up. I hadn't really sat all day, so maybe that was it..... BAM a rock solid 360 degree tightness, pain down really low, and had to stop what I was doing to concentrate. I could talk of course it wasn't like THE BIG PAIN that will come, but still, enough to say "hey hon let's time this"...... so it was every 3-5 minutes, for like 15 seconds of real hardness........ an ...

So DH, our little pup Prada, and I headed to my ballet studio for a little photoshoot today. 38 weeks down, just a couple of weeks to go! Didn't know it would be like 95 degrees in there! No a/c, just 2 crappy old fans. Anyway here are the first quick looks:





...

Me at 36 weeks (Aug 10th) ! Yikes only 4 weeks or 30 days to go!

BUMP!

Ha, ok so today I took a ballet class. First half anyway, couldn't do any jumps or turns in the latter half of the class..... not too bad, my hips move sometimes a little independently of each other, that's freaky! I took it easy, it was more to visit with the teacher and all the ladies who'd come to my shower and keep thanking them for their support and gifts and such. So, one of our older ladies in class (60's) has her sister pick her up afterwards...... sis walks in (late 60's? maybe 70 ...

102 degrees in the shade in San Jose today. Got out the inflatable kiddie pool, filled it up, sat it in most of the afternoon with DH, and threw our little dog in a couple of times. We have the world's oldest box-unit-a/c attached to the window in our baby's "room" (old dining room) that I wanted to rip out (it's noisy and cools about 10 sq ft) but today glad we didn't. We shut the house completely and turned the thing on. It took from 2 pm to 6 pm, but it cooled the house to 88 degrees ...
