Still Nothing and I'm out of pez!

OMG, when will this end! I was really hoping that by now I would be sleep deprived, covered in baby puke and knee deep in dirty diapers! I'm sooooooo tired of being pregnant! I'm desperate, I even googled "inducing labor naturally." I was surprised to see endless lists of ideas from the usual stuff to things like acupuncture and pressure point stimulation...I'm so pathetic! I guess Kenzie is gonna be a Johnston through and through...late for everything!

And just so you all know, my cat Monty, loves pez candy. He got into my dispenser last night and ate up all my pez...caught him red pawed...he had pez crumbs stuck on the end of his nose!

Happy Birthday Brian!

Happy Birthday Brian!

Let it snow, and stuff like that!

Wow, how asked for all this snow for Christmas. It's pretty but, come on...enough already! I think we had to shovel 3 times yesterday, and it's not looking any better for today! Who ever dreamed of a White Christmas dream has come true.

Day three of no work! L-O-V-E IT! Although, working these past two days would have been impossible! Getting around like an 85 year old woman these days! It's kind of pathetic if you ask me! I miss it thought, which is also pathetic...

Oh, yeah, chest pain, back with avengeance! It was so bad that I actually went to the ER Sunday night! Of course they told me that it was heartburn...and of course I refuse to believe them. This so called "heartburn" didn't go away until mid afternoon Tuesday. Who's heard of 48 hour heart burn? Not me! I took several antacids, drank a gallon or so of milk, stayed away from those bad foods...nothing relieved the "heartburn." Me being a self proclaimed MD thinks its an inflammation of the cartilage between the ribs...costochondritis, I think it's called. I've had it before and it feels similar to that. It feels like my ribs are broken, every breath is shear pain...but, what do I know I just some dumb pregnant chick with a little GERD. WHATEVER! Thankfully it seems to be subsiding now, only hurts with really deep breaths which I can't do easily anyway, since this baby is ridin' high!

Still holding onto hope that she arrives today, so that she can steal all of Uncle BJ's birthday thunder, but it's not looking too good!

Well, enough from me! Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday!

One more day...

I thought this day would never come! Tomorrow is my last day of work for the next 12 weeks. I am soooo relieved! I had originally planned to continue working until the baby arrives...but this last week has been the most difficult week of all...everything hurts! And, I am soooooo freaking tired! Everything that was once sooooo easy is no soooo hard! Turning, bending, pulling, pushing, walking, sitting, smiling...ouch! The baby has settled into place and is sitting on every nerve I have. I have the worst hip pain, leg pain, back pain, pain, pain, pain! I truly hope that this is over sooner than later...Hurry up and get here baby!

Eviction!

Eviction notices have been posted! Attention Baby...pack your bags! It's time to move out! See you soon.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Happy Birthday Dad! We miss you today and everyday!

Home Stretch and other things!

Less then 28 days to go! I can't believe how fast this time has gone. It seemed like so far off in the beginning, but here we are already. I still feel like I have a ton of things to do!

I've got roughly 2 weeks of work left...if I can make it! It's getting harder and harder to make it through the day...by Friday...I'm a wreck! By the end of the night it's hard to walk...the worst is my hips...they were bad to begin with and now...much worse then before. Thankfully no crazy swelling or back problems to weight me down...yet. Props to the people at work for not letting me do more than I should, regardless of the fight that I put up about it! I'm sure I'll pay for it after my 3 months away!

I remember reading somewhere that the closer you get to "D" day the less movement you feel...things get pretty tight for the baby making it difficult to punch and kick. Well. apparently Kenzie won't be stopped...She continues to beat me senseless from the inside between brief naps. Doctor says she's doing great again, everything is beating, pumping, functioning, and she's just the right size/weight, just about 6lbs. Ready, set, gooooooooo!

Things are going well for us! Mike ended up bouncing back from his flair-up scare rather quickly, thankfully. I truly hate it when he is not at his %100.

Christmas is just around the corner...we will be finishing up our shopping this weekend and decorating the outside of the house! Hopefully that will put us in the spirit, cuz I'm really not feelin' it this year!

I hate MS

I hate MS and I hate that it is making the most important part of my life feel bad! I hope you feel better soon Mike!

I blame the Bears loss for the flair up! Way to go stupid Bears!
