it is entirely possible that these babies are NOT coming in 2008. Is it actually true that they might stay in there until 5 days from now (36 weeks)?
I am slowly getting ready to go off of the deep end!
My husband and children are getting close to fencing me off on one side of the house, for their own safety. I'm not at the point of crying all day long, but it can't be far off until it reaches that point.
On a happy note....
The babies should be a nice healthy weight.
I have made it this far, and am still able to walk, drive a car, and generally function like a regular preggo.
I did not miss one day of work or call in sick for even one day in the entire pregnancy.
It is nice to be home during vacation....I get to see my kids and hubby more than I usually do.
I think we are pretty much ready for these stinkers...we only need to do a good grocery trip and the house will be in working order!
most important.....my hubby has not run screaming for the hills to get away from the last 3 days that I have been on the brink of insanity.
He is so darn cute.

preggo watch 2008 update!
Nothing new in big-belly land. I have served the twins with their official eviction notices.
So far, they are not responding.
I even went so far as to work a 13.5 hour shift on Friday in the hopes that they would be annoyed with my behavior and decide to jump ship into the non-water world.
Nope. those stinkers are still in there, leeching me of all my nutrients!
I worked today, also.....still no action in the way of baby contractions.
Now I will gently remind them that I have 4 days of unused paid time off before the end of the year. If I don't use 'em, I lose 'em!
So enough with the gestating, already....babies come on out and meet yer wacky family and friends!
(.....pretty please?)

One more whine for the day
I forgot to mention....
Several friends and co-workers have been asking.... " When is your baby shower?'
Another asked...." I feel weird asking...why haven't I gotten an invite to the baby shower? Is there some reason I am not invited?"
Actually, uh.....
the reason you have not been invited is very simple.
No one gave me a shower, and no one has planned one.
So don't be offended, and don't feel left out. There was talk of a shower from several friends, but none of my friends actually ever got around to doing it, I guess.
I doubt there is anything being planned at this point...I am due in 14 days, and it is christmas season madness.
There may not be a party, but you are always welcome to come for a visit and have a nice snack at my house!

2 more weeks?! aaaaaaarrrgggh!
I have officially reached the "please! no more!" stage with the pregnancy. I am happy and grateful for my health and the overall amazingly healthy pregnancy so far.
Now that I have said that.....someone please listen to me whine for a moment or 2!
I found out last Tuesday that I had not actually used up my vacation days for this year...I thought I had only one 8-hour day left, when I actually had 48 hours (6 whole days) left. Good news, in most ways, but not-so-good when I had to call my boss and let her know I needed to take 5 more vacation days during the busiest last 2 weeks of the year. I'm pretty sure she was not pleased.
It could not have come at a better time... I have had off 6 days in a row, and I am finding it hard to just walk around or sit without being in pain or being annoyed. I know it is best for the babies to make it to the new year, however, they certainly feel as if they are big enough now. I keep hoping they will be 6 pounds and then i will be done. I am supposed to make it to the 36 week mark.....only 14 more days, yet I keep thinking...why not 2 more days, or NOW!
My stress level from work is at a high....I have 2 feuding members of my management team, of which one seems hell-bent on trying to get anyone fired before her....or to try and get rid of me. Sad what things people will resort to when they feel threatened. the main person at the root of the problem has just about everyone in the building so paranoid and stressed that they cannot do their jobs. Here is the pickle...I have one manager (me) and 3 sales leaders (like assistant mgrs.). To run the store, the 4 people is ideal. If/when I do go on leave, that leaves no captain of the ship. Factor in one of the remaining 3 has only had the job about a month...she is still learning the job. The other 2 are at odds....the problem mostly being one lady trying her damnedest to make life a living hell for the other. The last lady is just a nice "people-pleaser" type who is an absolute wreck because she is afraid to do anything wrong. I don't blame her.
In the meantime, there have been snowstorms, cash overage/shortages and problems EVERY SINGLE DAY THAT I HAVE BEEN GONE.
Seriously, people? come on! It is ONLY LOTION!!!!!!
If we had not had the crazy amount of snow and horrible weather, I would have gone in to check on things and lay down the law. nope. can't so that right now because of the horrible snowstorms and windstorms. I will finally go back to work tomorrow and hopefully these 3 ladies have not collectively run things into the ground. I only hope that my lack of being there will not come back to bite me in the ass....who knows what nonsense the one employee has been up to while I have been absent. At this point, I don't even know WHO will be running my store while I am gone.
So, I have ranted and gone on long enough. Back to the salt mines tomorrow. In a perfect scenario, I'll work this week, the babies will be over 6 pounds, and I'll go into labor on Dec 28th and not have to come back to work for the last 3 days of the year. If not, I guess I'll just have to keep on keepin' on.
Until then.... WAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!! Calgon, take me away!
