If it makes you feel better, same here. Lil guy was up every two hours. Im trying to chug coffee and type at the same time. Maybe by the end of this year we can commiserate together while our kids run rampant at a playground.

A little Mother's Day farming. Nothing to see here.

These are not the droids you are looking for.

Thank you, same to all the mommies!!

I woke up to three cards. One addressed to "muh-muh" one addressed to "mommy" and one that said "Happy Mother's Day". Hubby's card says he baked me a cake and inside it says, "Hope you don't mind it's peanut butter and jelly" and underneath the stack of cards was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in a ziplock bag. Smiley: lol It's going to cost me a lot of Weight Watchers points, but I ate it anyway. Smiley: grin

Kids are in a great mood and playing very nicely together, which is a great gift already.

Happy Mother's Day to all you Mothers out there. And Aegis.

Mrs. YoYo and her mom are out shopping and I'm watching the baby. Which has been cake thus far, as she has been sleeping.

Anyone else recovering from a tequilla hangover after going out to a Mexican restaurant with their 92 year old grandmother, mother, and various other family members?

No?

Well, the mimosas grandma made at breakfast sure helped.

As did the bacon.

Happy Mothers day. Thanks also as well. i got calls from 2 out of 3 of my kids, but the 3th was only one who gave me a present this year. I picked out a tea pot, last month I wanted and last night, she also had roses for last night for me. Plus today is her anniversary, so I didn't expect to hear from her. we were late getting home last night so I never got them in water. Wilted by then, so know they were gotten from the corner Rose seller.

Jonwin and I just came back from dinner with his Mom and brother's family. His mom had lilies for me and I got them into water right away. So proved Jonwin wrong about how all the flowers he gets me, never get place in a vase.

Thanks and happy Mother's Day to all of you as well! Nothing major happening here. Mr. Ambrya gave me a card and we had dinner at the in-laws house. Mainly, I'm just wishing I were an actual mother today, rather than just a mother-to-be. I'm soooo over being pregnant.

Have you ever seen that Dairy Queen cake commercial Ambrya? This woman is being wheeled into the hospital and she's got a cake on her lap and she's saying how she went into labor and on the way over they stopped at Dairy Queen to pick her up a Happy Mother's Day cake. She explains that she's going to be a mother anyway and that "After 12 hours of labor, I'm REALLY gonna need it."

Best. Mom's. Day. Commercial. Ever.

I haven't seen that commercial, but it sounds like it's just about where I am right now. Mr. Ambrya is under strict orders to fetch me something with sugar in it as soon as this baby is born. If it's the middle of the night, well, the McD's around the corner from the birthing center is 24 hours and he can grab me a shake or McFlurry or a Coke or something.

The dietary requirements to manage gestational diabetes SUCK. The threshold is actually much lower than for normal diabetes, which means that things a normal diabetic could eat and still come in with a tolerable blood-sugar reading put me way over my limit. Actually, I've been doing a bit too well controlling my blood sugar, so much so that at my prenatal visit last week, my ketones were off the scale. So, I was instructed to try to work in a few more whole grains into my diet. Tried to have a single piece of whole-grain bread with my ham & cheddar soup that night, it put my blood sugar over the limit by nearly 20 pts. So I'm damned if I do, damned if I don't. This totally blows.

All I can say is god bless Peet's Coffee & Tea. I can't have a Coke, and I can't have coffee or hot black tea (because I don't drink coffee/tea without sugar in it, and artificial sweetners are teh debil) so Peet's Summer House iced tea has been my only option for a sugar-free caffeine fix.

2 and a half weeks to EDD--not that the EDD means much.

I had the BEST nurse with me while I was having Hannah. Hannah was born at 8:45am and I was totally doped up and out of it (it had been a rough night and I had a weird reaction to the anti-nausea medication, but anyway..). She came over while I was attempting to nurse Hannah for the first time and asked what I wanted to have for breakfast when Hannah and her dad went to the nursery to have her first bath, get weighed, etc...and I just looked at her blankly for a second and then realized I was STARVING. I couldn't speak for the want of food. She said, "I'll order you something" and smiled. Then she stopped just before the door and said "what's your favorite flavor of milkshake?" To this, I replied dumbly, "for breakfast?" She nodded. I said, "Strawberry".

She brought up a tray with what must have been one of everything they had on offer for breakfast. Eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, sausage, a box of cereal and a small carton of milk, toast, pancakes, and the largest strawberry milkshake I've ever had in my life and nothing before or since has ever tasted so good. For the two days I was there, I ordered a strawberry milkshake with every meal, even though it wasn't on the menu.

...Strawberry milkshake...


You're trying to make me cry, aren't you?

In these parts, there's a restaurant franchise called Burgerville, and one of their gimmicks is that at various points throughout the year, they have special seasonal milkshakes made with local ingredients that they only offer for a short while, a few weeks to a couple months, and then they're gone for the year.

Right now, they've got their fresh Oregon strawberry milkshakes going. I don't normally actually LIKE strawberry milkshakes (least not the phony-flavored kind), but I wait all year for these to become available, and usually have one once or twice while they're available, then rinse and repeat next year.

They're available now.

I can't have one.

I keep telling myself they'll still be available after the baby is born, but day-amn.

The midwives at the birth center will prepare breakfast for you after the birth, or have lunch or dinner catered in. I always thought after the birth I would want a steak and big, protein-heavy meal, but right now, I'm all about the carbs when this whole thing is done. I plan to make sure they understand there is to be potatoes and desert on that tray no matter what time of day it is. If it's breakfast and there's pancakes too, so much the better.

I'm limited to half a piece of fresh fruit a day, and no fruit juices, even unsweetened ones.

Yes, I know I'm whining.
