Awww, man!!!

I have exactly two weeks until my due date. I was supposed to go to the doctor today but, wouldn't you know it, he had to perform an emergency surgery so his appointments have been cancelled for the rest of the day. So now I can't go until Wednesday. I was very excited to go today because I just knew he would tell me I had dilated about 6 cm and needed to go straight to the hospital and deliver my baby. I am so disappointed!!! And, the funny thing is that last night my husband said I bet your appointment will be cancelled tomorrow. Maybe he jinxed me! I only wanted to make it past Aug 31st since that was the date for my baby shower at work. I secretly hoped I would have him on that day so he wouldn't have any problems once it's time to start school. I guess that really shouldn't matter though as long as he is born healthy and strong. On another note, I am very tired today. Why? Because I woke up 3 times last night, either to use the bathroom or because I got leg cramps. Why am I getting leg cramps? Because I didn't drink enough water and I knew that before I went to bed so I guess that's just my bad, huh.









Totally unrelated issue -- Someone really needs to tell Ms. Aretha Franklin, the "Queen of Soul" that she needs to hire a personal stylist. Nobody wants to see her twins laying on top of her stomach barely being held in by her dress. She is too old and heavy for that nonsense. Surely she can afford to get someone, anyone to help her out in that area. I just refuse to believe that she really honestly thinks that's sexy. I decided to post an older pic of her where she looks pretty and happy and youthful and a whole lot more modest. I almost posted the bad pic but she has been embarrassed enough by her own horrible decisions. Why should I add to it? Don't get me wrong I have a whole lotta love for her, but come on Ms Franklin. Give us all a break!

Amen, sister. When I saw the pic of Aretha I didn't think it was real. But I guess you've confirmed for me that the jugs are truth. GROSS.

Hey girlly,

I know how you feel with the wishful thinking. Just know that God is in control and He knows when is the best time for your little one to arrive. Oh yeah, DRINK SOME WATER. I don't want you or your baby to have any issues.

Motherhood

Yesterday, I had something to do so the kids went to their old sitter's house for a few hours. We got home later than intended so I knew I would be rushing to prepare dinner, get them bathed, and settled for the night. Here's what really happened. As soon as we entered the house, Brayden started running around saying "Mommy, I have to pee". So we rush into the bathroom and as soon as his pants are unbuttoned, he starts peeing on himself. I clean him up and decide they can play in the tub while I start preparing dinner. As soon as we get to the kitchen, Danica throws up all over me, herself, and the floor. So, I take her to our bathroom and bathe her. Before I can get her pj's buttoned up, Brayden starts screaming "I have to pee!" Because he just went all over the bathroom floor, I'm a little perplexed. I run to their bathroom anyway only to find out he didn't have to pee, he had to poop and had already dropped two bombs in the bathtub where his s

Baby Making (Or Not)

So, as I've said before, I'm getting my tubes tied this year. I have had so many people tell me they don't agree with this. I've been told that I should let God decide how many children we have or ask him to close my womb. I should wait and see if I want more children in the future. It's too permanent. What if something happens to my children and I decide I want more later. I honestly didn't expect to run in to so much opposition. First of all, it's my body and my decision. Secondly, I am absolutely sure that I don't want more children. And lastly, it really is my decision. The funny thing is that my friend who has 5 children has received a lot of criticism for the size of her family and was told repeatedly that she should've gotten her tubes tied. Now, there are other circumstances in that particular family that would warrant such remarks. But my point is that people are never satisfied. If we continued to have children, I'm sure someone would s

Christmas in September?

Apparently, living in Manila is going to provide plenty of material for me to write about. Here goes: We have been provided several books to help us adapt to life in the Philippines. Something we read was very beneficial for us yesterday. We went to SM which is a department store, furniture store, grocery store, and several restaurants all in one. Danae had to use the bathroom and guess what? There was no toilet tissue. No, they didn't run out. They don't put tissue in the bathrooms at all. No empty tissue holder or anything. Because I read about that, I had a little tissue stowed in my bag to use. In the grocery store, the most overwhelming shock was the stench. The entire back of the store is basically a butcher shop. Surprisingly, there were no flies or anything. But, the smell was gross. Danae held her nose while we looked around in there. I wasn't bold enough to purchase any meat yet. One day, maybe. Or, we'll just become vegetarians while we're here. In the cl
