What fun :)

Well not really.  Not to the normal person anyways, but for me it's informative.  I have a mission today to find out where to get the cheapest diapers for baby #2.  Was thinking of cloth but that is going to take up WAAAAAAAAAY to much time cleaning/laundry etc for me.  So disposable it is.  I did a price comparison at No Frills (local cheap brand store by Loblaws) and going in a bit to check out Zellers and see what they carry and costs.  Going to the library as well.  A new Patricia Cromwell book has arrived for me there (well new to me maybe not to anyone else) and since I have finished the first 7 of the True Blood series I need something new to read.  

Last Lamaze class was last Tuesday, hospital tour is this Tuesday night.  Will be by myself since DH has to work till late on Tuesday.  I don't mind, since I am the one who will need to be there might as well make myself knowledgeable as possible on where to go :)  I am now 32 weeks along and man am I starting to get tired alot again.  The baby can't move as well since there is not as much room and man can I feel it.  Sleeping is starting to be a issue.  I HATE sleeping on my sides.  I am a back sleeper and so miss that position.  Only 8 weeks to go, I have to focus on that.  Other than that I am doing well.  No swelling of feet/hands...yet.  My blood pressure has been good so that's good to know.  I have a doc's appt on Wednesday AM.  Usual thing, measure my stomach, check baby's heartbeat, ask me if I have any questions or concerns.  So far so good this time around :)  

Well I'm off, library is open and I should go before I have to pick up DS :)  Be free while I can :)

Best Wishes.

Meltdowns, how I love thee

Well DS just had a meltdown at the park.  Good god how I hate these.  I feel like every parent is looking at me when this is happening.  He's screaming and crying the whole way home and I'm just livid from him doing this.  He decided to have a fit cause he wanted to see his friend on the baseball field, well they were playing baseball and I told him no, to wait till they are done hitting the ball.  He throws himself down and does his best impression of a spoiled brat.  He then proceeds to BITE my leg.  Not hard but enough to know u are getting bitten.  I was shocked.  I first made him get up, brushed off the dust then started the walk of shame.  I don't like this walk.  I feel terrible that I can't make him stop, feel bad that he's feeling this way and obviously can't handle whatever it is that's upsetting him.  I also don't like this walk cause it seems like every parent within a 10 mile radius happened to be at the park at that time. I was so angry when we got home.  I sent him to his room.  Took out all his toys in his room.  He's not going to the park again till Sunday (might be Saturday, days tend to run differently to us adults and kids) and no TV at night before bed.  He did say sorry on the way home, but he was only saying it so he could stay and I need to teach him that he can't bite people without some consequence, right?  He then apologized at home after I sent him to his room for a bit.  I gave him a big hug, and thanked him for saying sorry but that what he did was wrong and he won't be going to the park for a while.  He just nodded his little head and my heart broke.  I started to bawl.  I felt awful for snapping at him earlier when we got home.  I told him I was sorry, for yelling, and my yelling didn't help much.  I feel terrible and don't feel like I'm a good Mom at times.  Sad thing is that if this is upsetting me now, how am I going to handle this when he gets older ? *sigh  Crappy thing is he had a good day today.  Had fun at a friends house for a play date, great afternoon playing the backyard, wasn't till we got to the park that he pulled this stunt.  Though ... he does do it every couple of weeks.  Can't expect him to be perfect all the time, cause God only knows I'm not. :)  Bad days can happen and I guess I should be more prepared for them cause baby #2 is on his way so it's going to get tougher.  Nice thing is, tomorrow is a new day, fresh start.

Best Wishes

Been a while dear friend

Been a while since I was on here.  About a month.  Haven't had too much to write about and also with the nicer weather I haven't been online as much.  Trying to get out and enjoy the sunshine while I can before more spring snow arrives (which it did last week, blah)  My tulips are starting to come out and so are my daffodils that I planted last fall.  I love those things.  Easiest thing to plant and takes no effort on my part.  I try to have a green thumb, but I tend to kill stuff rather than grow. 

Started our Childbirth classes this week.  Kiddo went to his uncles and we went to the class.  We are the oldest couple there (I swear), and our instructor is like the lady from Role Models ("I'm not here to service you, I'm here to service little boys" line from the movie LOL)

My brother had his engagement party last weekend.  Good food!  Wow, those Italians like to eat!   The lunch was at 130 and we didn't get everything (incl dessert) till 4.  Ate so much that hubby and I didn't have room for dinner till 9 that night.  Can't wait for the wedding :P

Today is Good Friday so everything is closed.  Tomorrow we are going to Hamilton to visit my InLaws new place and see their new puppy.  They got a Newfie, female, and her name is Gracie.  They have had her on order since Xmas and she is now here.  DS is more excited to see the dog than his cousin I think :)  Sunday we are off to visit my parents for a little get together, nothing formal,  just burgers on BBQ kind of idea.  That is also the day DS gets his Scooter.  He's going to love it!  His one friend at school has one that he takes to the park and he is just fascinated with it.  We got him a new bike helmet too so now he can finally ride his two wheel bike instead of his tricycle.  We'll see if he remembers how to ride it :P  Weather is supposed to be wonderful this weekend so that is good news.  Gets him outside to blow off the stink as my mom used to say.

Will try to write again, but thanks for the reminder Al :)  Glad to see someone at least is reading this.

Best Wishes
