Flowers From Work

Both my work and Chuck’s work sent us flowers after we had Maddie. It was so sweet and thoughtful of them. Thank you to WCK and Microsoft for thinking of us!

Where To Begin….

February 23, 2011Maddie(3)
It’s been a long week. Since I last posted, there has been so much that has happened. Some good, some bad. I’ll see what I can do to write it all down. Tuesday night, February 15th, at 41 weeks 2 days pregnant, I was admitted into the hospital for the beginning of an induction. My...

Today’s the day we head to the hospital. I was up 12 times last night according to my FitBit. But somehow, I still got almost 9 hours of sleep. I’m a little tired today, but I know that adrenaline will kick in when I need it. It occurred to me this morning that when we...

41 Weeks….and counting

February 15, 2011Maddie(0)
Today I am 41 weeks pregnant. Yes. You read that correctly. I am a week past my due date. There’s a plan, though, and an end in sight very soon. But still, 41 weeks. It’s a long time! The most irritating thing right now is that I have subscribed to a bunch of websites that...

Today I had my final doctor’s appointment before I have Thumper. It was both good and bad. Bad because my body still hasn’t made any more progress. Which means that they will send me to the hospital tomorrow night (when I am 41 weeks) and do some ripening. I guess this is supposed to help...

Happy Valentine’s Day

February 14, 2011Products & Places(0)
Chuck got me some of the most unusual and cool gifts ever this year! Keep in mind that I don’t want chocolate as a gift, I like flowers, but don’t want that much money spent on something that dies so quickly (and we’re hoping we won’t be around for a few days if this baby...

Today we tried the mall walking again. But to our great disappointment.NOTHING. I had just a couple contractions. It was a bummer. Tomorrow is my next doctor’s appointment. Chuck had me call on Friday to talk to them about inducing me because the thought was if they wanted to do it Tuesday like they had...

I have needed something to keep me busy these days. I went shopping with Chuck’s mom the other day to a craft store and decided I wanted to learn to knit. So I picked up a cheap starter book, needles and some yarn. I haven’t been able to do a whole lot in one sitting...

My mom called and offered to take us to lunch. So we went to Southdale and walked around there for a while and then met my mom and Dave for lunch. We did some more walking and I had more contractions. But again, they just stopped. Paige called and invited us over to hang out....

A Few Random Things

At night, my hands would get really swollen. I wouldn’t be able to make a fist or anything. It didn’t look very good either. One day I remembered to take a picture. They are kind of scary! (Not quite as scary as my feet, though!) Next, A friend of mine brought some things to me...

Today is the day my family was sure I was going to have the baby. They were coming up with all sorts of ideas for why today would work. So far.it’s not looking good. But Chuck came home early from work and we decided to go to the Mall of America and walk around. I...

The Last Will of Moira Leahy

February 11, 2011Books(0)
I recently finished this book. I use GoodReads and this book was one of the books they recommended one day. Then I got it for Christmas. This book was a bit different. I can’t really put my finger on what made it so different, but it was. And different is good. The story is about...

Chuck’s mom came back from Florida yesterday. She was hoping to have a little granddaughter here to visit, but no such luck. She took me out to lunch and then we went to JoAnn’s and picked out material for a quilt she’s making for Thumper. I think it’s going to be adorable! I love the...

Today Chuck stayed home from work and kept me company. I think he was hoping that if he stayed home, something exciting would happen. Sadly, nothing did happen. We watched a couple movies and just hung out. It was a wonderfully relaxing day and I am happy that Chuck has the flexibility to work from...

Chuck surprised me with a new toy! A new Arc Touch mouse! It’s so cool! It was delivered the other day. I had no idea he was going to surprise me with this cool little gadget! Pretty cool, huh? When you flatten it, it turns off. When you bend it up, it’s ready to use!...

Today is my due date. Well today WAS my due date. It’s nice and late now and the chances of having the baby yet today are kind of slim. There’s still a chance, but it’s getting more and more unlikely as the days go on. Chuck and I decided that I shouldn’t go in to...

Hmmm…

February 8, 2011Maddie(0)
See the countdown above? I find it amusing that it says I am “0 days pregnant.” (Granted, it does say “40 weeks AND 0 days pregnant”. That is beside the point.) I can assure you, even though today is my actual due date, I am still very much pregnant. It just struck me as funny...

Thumper’s Room

February 8, 2011Maddie(0)
..And a final project. I picked up some stick on mirrors for Thumper’s room. I wanted to put some sort of mirror by the changing table for her to look at. Then I came across these at Kohl’s. I just realized you can see me a little in the picture.   So I stuck these...

What did we do this weekend? I think Chuck had a couple boot hockey games and a broomball game. I didn’t end up going because it was cold outside. And I was feeling kind of crummy and tired. Sunday, we went out for brunch and then I helped Chuck clean up the garage. He’s been...
