The Glover Family: February 2009

Update

I can so relate to these cartoons!

Even though my due date is 9 weeks away we are looking more at 8 weeks before we decide to induce. My doctor still doesn't think she is going let him go all the way to 40 weeks. Which is good news because I feel huge, my hair won't do anything, I'm tired, I'm running out of things to wear, etc. I did nail down my last day of work which will be April 17th. That is the end of this grading period so that will be a good time for the sub to start. Plus I go to the doctor that following Monday (21st) and we will probably make a decision then. Plus, Plus my 29th birthday is the 22nd and who wants to work on their birthday? We did manage to get the baby bed out of the attic and get two pictures framed. Since I am planning on handing down most if not all of Cash's clothes he has out grown, I have a lot of washing to do.

I know emails are going around but I thought I would add something about the problems we have had in our area lately. I guess it is really only two incidences, but to me that is two too many. First, a lady my mother-in law works with was almost high jacked with her son in the car by a man in The Woodlands. She was there at the intersection of 242 and 45 at the Exxon Station. Second, I got an email this morning about a lady who was robbed in the parking lot of the Atascocita Wal-mart. Luckily both of the ladies got away unharmed. I was telling Eddie about it and he made a good point. You can't live your life in fear but you do have to be careful. I know I am not going anywhere by myself if I can avoid it. If I do have to go by myself hopefully someone can watch Cash for me. I think it is just down right scary!

Back at work

Once again I don't have any pictures to post, but I did finally get over my illness, after missing almost a week of work, and was able to enjoy the weekend. We spent most of the day Saturday running errands. Eddie got to use his Academy gift cards and I was able to drop them off and have a peaceful trip to the grocery store. It was weird to not have an agenda that day. Our weekends have been so packed lately that I felt like we had somewhere to be. I did laundry and Eddie and Cash worked outside. I think Cash had to change clothes 3 times that day because him and the dogs found every mud puddle in our yard. Later that night Eddie cooked steaks and shrimp for Valentine's Day. It was so good but I couldn't eat much of it. By that night I wasn't feeling very well...again. Sunday we managed to make it to the 8:15 service and then went to Lumberton to see Eddie's sister and her family. This was our first time to see their new house. They have a great house with a big back yard and a pool. It did not take long at all to get there so I'm sure the boys and I will go quite often to visit them this summer. I had the day off yesterday so we went to the bridal store and then took Cash to Build-A-Bear. We made a bear for him and one for Colt. Cash picked out a black bear for him that we named "Trout" (he has on a fishing outfit) and Colt's bear's name is "Shoop." For some reason if you ask Cash what his baby brother's name is he says, "Shoop," so we thought it was appropriate.

I didn't get a lot accomplished in the nursery but Becky did take this one picture off my hands so that is one less thing to work around. I think I solved my painting problem. I am 99% sure the color that is on the walls now is the same color as the living room. If that is the case I am going to just touch up a few places and be done with it. I went to Hobby Lobby yesterday and bought two frames and some mat board to frame these two posters I have for his room and my mom bought an iron star. I also got a sign for their bathroom that says, "Cowboys don't take baths, they dust off." This is pretty much Cash's philosphy anyway. I have 10 weeks and 2 days left until my due date so I'm starting to feel the pressure to get stuff done.

I'm sick!!

For some reason I really thought I would not catch whatever has been floating around the school, but I was wrong!! I had a doctor's appt yesterday and everytime I got in and out of my car after that appt I felt worse and worse. By the time I got home last night I was practically in tears. Luckily Cash was worn out from Mother's Day Out and playing on the farm that we were both asleep by 8:00 if not earlier. Eddie had a meeting last night so I needed Cash to crash. I slept on the couch until 11:00 and then went to bed. I think about 3:30 I moved to the recliner. Maybe my mom was the only one who would say this, but I remember when I was younger and wanted to stay home from school my mom would tell me to just get in the shower and I would start to feel better. I would get so mad because all I wanted to do was stay home. I used to blame it on the fact that I was a teacher's kid and she didn't want me to miss school. Now that I am older I find myself saying the same thing. I actually woke up in the middle of the night dreaming of a hot shower. It's funny how things change. Still, if I could have stayed home today I would!

My doctor's appt went well. Colt is so far of "average" size but I'm not convinced he is not going to come out the size of a 2 month old like Cash did. The ultrasound I had on the 6th of January showed he was in the 60% in weight. My doctor pulled up all of Cash's ultrasounds and at that same time he was in the 73%. So we will see. I don't mind going all the way to my due date if he is not going to be a huge baby. The other good news is I get to start going every two weeks and they went ahead and scheduled every appt up to my due date. I think my last appt is on April 27th.

Nesting

I really am starting to get the "nesting" instinct but by the time I get home in the afternoon I am so tired that I lose all motivation. For some reason getting things done for the second baby is not as easy. I guess it is because you already have a little one at home to focus on and take care of. However, Eddie has committed to helping me this weekend and next weekend with setting the baby furniture up and helping me paint. Unfortunately, I have a workshop in Alvin from 8 to 4 Saturday so that will probably take every ounce of energy out of me. I know I still have a while to get everything ready but I'm tired of looking at an empty room. Hopefully in the next week or so I can start posting pictures of our progress.
