Man, I need to have this baby or get some sleep; but one or the other needs to happen before I take someone out for living on my planet and breathing my air. I'm taking him up on the offer of Ambien when I see my OB tomorrow; he's only offered it to me at almost every single visit since I got pregnant - apparently he wants me sleeping through this pregnancy and lately that's just not happening. I went to bed at 5:00 Tuesday morning (yes, you read that correctly - as in, I did not go to bed at all Monday night) then went to bed at 9:00 Tuesday night and slept until 2a.m. I was awake until about 5:30 this morning when I convinced myself I HAD to go back to sleep - for about an hour. Blech! It's put me in the worst mood.
Yesterday, my cousin had a surgery that I had before I got pregnant with Elizabeth. My aunt sent out an email to her email list stating "now let's hope it works for her like it did for Gina, but we already know she doesn't want four..." Flew all over me. Since before I got pregnant with Annie I have had people criticizing the size of my family - people who don't really know me have even taken it upon themselves to blog about the size of my family as if they knew all the intimate details of my entire life. As if it's their business??? So, I replied to my aunt and she responded with "Well, I figured you knew about birth control, including the permanent methods..." Um, and I needed to permanently stop after Katherine because...????????? What, just because she was our second it was time to stop? Okay. Whatever.
Then today I get an email from my mom that their trip to Phoenix has been postponed for a year. Larry, my dad's financial adviser, wasn't sure he could get them corporate tickets to the Phoenix Open (or whatever it's called now) because they had to wait so long before telling him they could come. Why the delay in committing to the dates? They were waiting on my OB to okay Harrison's delivery date. No, she did NOT just blame their trip postponement on me and my OB...no she didn't. I replied, "I could have told you Paul wouldn't take the baby on 2/1 if I'd known we were the hold up for you." The fact that the Super Bowl is in Phoenix on the same weekend was apparently only a secondary reason that they decided to postpone the trip for a year. I could absolutely SCREAM.
Maybe it's being pregnant with a child who I feel like I've wrestled with all day almost every day. Maybe it's from being 36 weeks pregnant. Maybe it's the insomnia. But good grief, could I possibly be more unpleasant to be around right now?! I wonder if going into a padded room and throwing a big hissy fit would help. Probably not.
Brad is taking the girls to Cubbies tonight. After Annie goes to bed I'm taking a warm bath, a Phenergan and I'm going to bed myself. Hopefully I'll sleep all night and have a better attitude tomorrow.

Sheesh, some people need to keep their opinions to themselves, huh? Hope things look better tomorrow after a good night's sleep! (((Hugs)))
I hope you were able to sleep last night and feel much better today! I remember frustrating days like that.
Hoping that you have slept and rested well...I remember feeling like I was wrestling with JH,too...he was bigger, stronger, and more active than the girls...every move he made hurt and made me sit down. That alone can wear you out!
I'll be praying for you this morning.
And for that sweet baby boy that will be here before you know it!
About the size of your family--I was looking at the old church directory(the one before the last one) and you and Brad were without children....I commented to my family, just think how much their lives have changed...how much the Lord has blessed them and enriched their lives with little ones...we all said what a miracle!
We came to BCLR when you were pregnant with E and I was almost Pregnant with Evie...I remember hearing about you guys and being so thankful(even though I didn't know you yet)that you were having a baby! Who knew it would be 4 wonderful blessings down the road...all I can say is God is good and I am thrilled for you!
You are a wonderful mommy to those little ones and God knows what He is doing!
Just a little shout out from another Momma of FOUR *gasp*

I know you alreay know this, but it will be over before you know it & holding him will be worth every single second.
