I am jumping on the
SAJ bandwagon again because it is just so much fun. She has a fun post and
Flickr pool that requests that you admit to the internet that you dress like a slob. Now truth be told I don’t really think she dresses like a slob. And for most of the time, I do not either.
I will admit only to dressing like one while being at home or in my backyard. When I go out I try, for the most part, to not look too slobish. I come from a family where both Grandmothers never wore pants. I myself only owned two or three pair up until J was born. I wore dresses and skirts always. Now, I miss my little dresses and cute skirts but really they just aren’t practical when you have a baby around. Although I do imagine I will wear more with Apple than I ever wore with J. Somehow playing hockey in my sundress just didn’t work out right. But I think we will be having tea parties more often than playing hockey so I will probobly get away with a few more skirts and a lot less pants.
Without further adieu, here is my “
I dress like a slob” photos. Taken by the junior photographer in the family, J.
**disclaimer: Please remember that I am not even four weeks post baby and truly not in the best shape of my life. I should also add that after having some belly shots taken J was telling me how to pose and be sure to put my hand on my belly, while he was taking my picture. Too cute.
The post about nothing. We just sit here and wait… no signs except a sore back and oh so much pressure on my joints. Tomorrow morning we see the midwife and decide what to do. All I know is that if she (the baby) hasn’t dropped enough by tomorrow I might just cry a river. A very huge river.
Thank you all for stopping by and checking on me, I can’t wait until I actually have some news to share.
So, yesterday. I was so bummed out that after drinking half a bottle of castor oil and eagerly awaiting cramps and contractions I got nothing. NOTHING! Ok, so I got about twenty trips to the bathroom and a good colon cleansing, but seriously. Not a cramp to even make me think things might be working. I have exhausted all the possibilities to get things going, but apparently my little girl is being stubborn and just doesn’t want to meet everyone yet.
On the good side, my FIL is having a blast entertaining J, they went to the park for an hour and a half yesterday! I am lucky to get twenty minutes at the park, hence the park in our backyard. Then they went to Tim Horton’s for coffee, then Mickey Donalds for lunch. I tell you J was one treated little guy yesterday. Opa then went to visit his friends for the afternoon and evening, to regain some sanity I am sure. And my Mom who was hanging out with me took over. She was great too. She came to help me out in case I didn’t feel well, so she changed the beds, washed the sheets, made some lunch, took me to the store, let me have a nap, all the right things you want your Mom to do. And alas, at suppertime it was just Hubby, J, A and I and well still nothing.
So, that is my update from yesterday. I guess I should try to forget that I am indeed pregnant and now overdue (my FIL tried to tell me that the due date was wrong, I laughed and said that when you have IVF, you can’t have a wrong due date. He doesn’t get it.). I can’t wait until I can finally give you all a good post that at least says I am in labour, even if it lasts three days like it did for J.
