Times when its ok to break the law

When you have a sleeping newborn in the car all rules should go out the window!! Parents should have a special flashing light or something so that we can alert other drivers etc that we will be:

1. running red lights and stop signs
2. ignoring all posted speed limits
3. ignore all passing rules

all in the name of keeping our adorable, sweet, amazing, screaming machines asleep in the back of the car.

I can't be the only parent who is willing to lead police on a high speed chase just to keep my bundle quiet!!

I think they're ganging up on me!

So obviously she came out!! 39 hrs of full on back labor. After 28 hrs at home I went to the hospital and yelled expletives when I was told that I would have to wait 15-20 min for my epidural. But I had been stalled at 8 cm for 5 hrs, hadn't eaten, slept, or sat down really (except for the birth tub) in over 24 hrs and was done, just done. the meds allowed me to get 3 hrs rest, then they turned it down, the contractions came back full force, I pushed for 3.5 hrs and beautiful Lulu entered the world.

And now there are two. Two wonderful, adorable children who I love dearly. But, but........ Lu wakes up at 4AM to eat and goes back to sleep around 4:45 and then J wakes up at 5AM for the day. So you see I'm waking up at 4AM every day and um, well that's not really a good time for me. Is it really asking too much to sleep in til say 6AM? Tha'ts all I'm asking for kids, 6. Any chance?

How long can this go on????

41 weeks and going strong? Maybe strongish is a better word, even though its not really a word.

Looked up the longest pregnancy on record. 375 days. over a yr being pregnant. yeah that's a really fucking long time. I mean good for that woman that she stuck it out but I'm just not that cool.

Yes I want a natural home birth etc, but there is no way I'm going to still be pregnant come september. Hell I can't believe I'm pregnant in July.

When I chose July 4th as my guess for when I was going to deliver I was more than half joking. But here we are 3 days away from July 4th and I may not even have this lady by then.

To be fair to my friends, family and husband, I'm not the nicest person right now. I'm not meaning to be argumentative or shall we say bitchy I'm just full of hormones and baby and there's no room left for my normally shiny disposition........................

Basically I should just be locked in a room with a significant amount of ice cream for the foreseeable future! And Chinese food, Ice cream and Chinese food!! Thats all I need!

Someday I'll give birth.....right???

Its a race between whether I'll have this baby before I run out of tums or I need to go out and buy a humungous bottle.

The freezer is stocked full of meals, baby clothes are washed, birth supplies are prepared and ready to go. All that needs to happen now is for her to make her grand entrance :)

fear, denial, maybe she's just never coming out!!

I think I'm in denial, maybe its a little bit of fear. I knew that with everyone telling me that this baby was going to come early meant that she wouldn't. I called July 4th and I'm sticking to it. But I'm also partially convinced that she's actually never coming out of me!!!

I've been pregnant since September, SEPTEMBER!!! do you realize how long that is!!!! I think she's just decided to stay inside. Maybe I want her to stay inside, the whole birth thing is a bit scary.

I planned a natural midwife attended birth with Jonah and that turned into a c-section 3 ring circus. So I really don't know what to expect with actually delivering a baby. I'm nervous, I'm scared, it is totally the unknown. I have complete faith that I can do it, I just don't have the faith that I'll be given the opportunity to do it. Will this birth be taken away from me as well?

music

When J was in the womb and still to this day he loved and still loves house/techno music. My ears bleed but the smile he gets while jumping around the room to techno is worth it.................on most days.

I was hoping with baby girl we would have some sort of music taste in common. but last night while I stayed up way too late Justin Timberlake came on SNL and he started singing and she started dancing inside of me. The girl loves JT. I'm not sure I can handle boy band music in the house.

I have a feeling that the teen yrs with me and these kids are going to be long ones filled with many many "can you turn that #$%^^^& down!!!"

Why can't my kids like dylan, the dead, the beatles???? Why!!!

its enough already!!!

Went out to eat yesterday with mom, peter, and jonah. the table 2 behind us began having a LOUD conversation as to whether I'm pregnant or just fat!!! how tacky do you have to be to have a conversation as to whether someone is fat or pregnant. I mean really. I even heard one of them say "well, she has a toddler so maybe she just hasn;t lost the baby weight yet". Can you believe that!! Peter told me that I should go over to their table and tell them to go F themselves and that I'm pregnant.
I decided not to say anything since clearly they were morons and not worth my time.
As we were in the parking lot, they came out of the restaurant and peter leaned out the window and screamed "she's pregnant" then drove off.

I'm going to make a shirt that says "I'm pregnant not fat" and wear it everyday from now till the baby's born!!!
