Everything seems great at the moment. I really don't know exactly what to think of everything at the appointment. I am happy, but skeptical. They said I had gained 3 lbs in a week, which is a lot, but not too concerning to me bc I think most of it is water.

I also mentioned the concern about measurements. He measured and said I had measured right on target, right at 37 weeks. I don't really know what to think bc he said everyone takes measurements a little differently, which makes me wonder if HE took it differently than the others did. Know what I mean?? Anyway, for now I am not worried about it. i will worry about it if I need to next week, for now I will just try to enjoy some good news. So, that means no specialist was needed yesterday, which means no baby yesterday either. At least it gives baby a little more time to grow healthier.

H's sister called this morning. She got her port-o-cath for chemo taken out this morning. She is in remission, so she doens't need it anymore, YAY!! She also told me that yesterday afternoon h's grandmother was released from the hospital, which is VERY exciting. At 90, you always have to prepare for the worst.

Because the doll house is gone, I had room to 1)put the pantry doors on (finally! they were in the nursery bc I didn't want paint to get on them) 2)take the swing-o-matic out of the crib so I could get the crib ready. yay! 3) I got the crib all prettied up. So three more things from my list are done.

I took the swing fabric apart to wash it. It ran through the cycle and now I just need to re-wash the actual swing and put it back together. I managed to clean a path from the door of the nursery to the crib, then to the bed. It was so full of boxes. so another thing is done off the list.

I hope the BD worked this time. I am waiting to hear the good news soon. I guess the BD has to happen every two days bc sperm lasts 24 hrs. it sure seems like one would have to be doing the BD a LOT to be sure. because every 2 days for 2 weeks is 7 times! I doubt that I have been THAT interested in a long time.

James' father should want to help more. He should be expecting a court date, after all he hasn't paid enough to even provide food for one month for his child and it has been 8 months! Crazy man. Well, actually he msut be crazy bc he wouldn't be able to get custody. He doesn't see his son regularly enough. His father picks up James, right? and he doesn't even go see him usually, right? Here, a non custodial parent must PROVE that the other parent is not fit, or is abusive before custody arrangements are changed. We did that, and had a lot of supporting evidence from the school.

If I were you, whenever James goes for a visit write down the date and whether or not the father actually saw him. write down if the father participated in parent teacher conferences, doc visits, phone calls, birthdays, Christmas, do it for everything including buying school supplies and pictures. It will help your case in court if he really is going to bother taking you, which I doubt. i wouldn't let anybody take my child either, and the judge would probably say no unless the child was in danger. Usually judges do what they can to make sure that the child's regular routines are kept, bc it is in the child's best interest.

I took law class in school. I don't know everything, nor do I pretend to, but when it comes to custody battles I don't hestitate to pass on what I know to the GOOD parents. Other people that I know wanted advice before, but the guy was awful. I use to babysit for his wife. She told me a lot then, so when he asked for my help I told him I didn't know anything about his case to be able to help him. It was a total lie, but I really didn't feel bad bc I know if I did help him the child would have suffered. He was just doing it to get back at his ex bc she wanted more child support, but she was a good mother. She did everything for her kid.

He was abusive to the mother when they were together, so why would I help him. I guess he didn't realise that I knew. One time, I was at a night class which he was in. It was really dark out. Everyone else was leaving but I had the weirdest reaction to him bc he walked up to me in the parking lot outside. I really thought he was going to try something. I told him I was in a huge hurry bc h (who he knew to see, and is a large guy that isn't to be messed with) was at home expecting me to be there in 5 minutes bc we had plans to go out. I told h when I got home. H could squash him wiht one finger bc he is only about 5'6", but I wasn't as confident in my ability to fight him off bc I am 5'4", and he is military, so he is built somewhat. I was scared of this guy, and mentioned it to the mother, so that was when she told me stuff. I was REALLY glad that I trusted my instinct. Things didn't go so well for her, and that was why they broke up. that was in 97. I don't see him or her around here anymore and I haven't in a long time. They probably both got posted, hopefully to two different bases. (She is military too)

Holy side track!! I didn't mean to go on about it. sorry.

I just got back from taking the dog to the vet. I have a few things to do. ttyl

I know what you mean about getting busy, things always seem to creep up on us. I'm glad the boys are better. The doll house is gone. YAY!! I have lots to do.

Did I mention h's grandmother was admitted to the hospital last Sunday? well she is still there, but is getting stronger by the day. She is getting a ct scan tomorrow, probably going to go home this Wednesday. Her doc is thorough, so we are very pleased about that.

I actually ended up going to labour and Delivery near my in laws place, bc I couldn't walk all day, and was contracting, and having bad pain. They gave me demerol, and said that if I wasn't staying so close to the hospital, then they would have kept me for the night, but they were super busy, and the house I was staying at was only about a 5 minute drive. I am so glad it wasn't labour, bc they told me that they DO NOT EVER use epidurals, bc they don't have a anestetist(spelling?) that is willing to stay in the hospital for hours until delivery. So anyway, the doc said I am 20% effaced, and 1 cm dilated. My first due date was Aug 10th, so I wonder when this is going to happen. (I am concerned bc last wed, the ob I saw told me that the baby hasn't grown since week 34. They said to bring my bag when I go to my next appointment bc they might send me right to the specialist who might decide to take the baby right away. or they might schedule me to see the specialist. They want to see first before they decide what to do.) I am still having the pains, but mostly in the evening or if I walk at all.

Well, I just got home a few hours ago. I have a few things to do before bed. ttyl

It is good to keep things to a point, but I kept things frmm my step-children, and am now still using them on my daughter, so our house is FILLED with junk that is 17 yrs old. I come by it honestly though. my mother was a HUGE pack rat, WAYYY worse than me. she kept my stuff out of necessity bc we had no money, so that she could use it on my sister who was 2 yrs younger. Then some of it sat around until my littlest sister was born, when I was 10. Then is was handed back to me a few years later bc I was a step mom and we had no money and had just gotten custody. After we got custody h's uncle (who is almost his age) gave us clothes from his daughter for my step daughter. My daughter is now wearing some clothes that I wore at her age, or both of my sisters wore, or her own sister or cousin wore. I will use it for this one, (if it's a girl) but after that I will give stuff back to my sister for her kids, and my other sister for if she has kids. Whatever is not sentimental will go. My house will seem practically empty then. How crazy am I?!?! Some stuff like car seats aren't safe after 5 yrs, and transport Canada will issue big fines if you use them, so we are getting a NEW car seat, but other than that second hand is wonderful.

Sorry that you had such a hard time with the doctor's visit. Sounds awful! Ally did get fevered with hers, and it lasted about 4 days, from what I recall. I hope your kids have better luck.

My house is a little better, but still not wonderful. I can't seem to get the energy to get motivated to get things done. I wish I could, bc I have been saying for days that I wanted to mop, but it still isn't done. yuk! HOuse cleaning is a never ending battle.
I need to run too. thanks, take care.

Huge relief is an understatement, LOL. I wish I had everything. I am missing a few small things, a car seat and a high chair. I have just about everything else from when I had Allyson. I am such a pack rat!!!

I am worried about the baby's size again bc of my appointment today. I blogged about it. I am hoping that since baby is small that it will stay until at least the 3rd of Sept. Any day would be ok besides the first, second and 6th. Ally starts school on the second, so if I had baby on the first or second I wouldn't be able to be with her.

thanks, I had planned on leaving today, but I think I will leave in the morning. I have a lot left to do. I didn't pack a thing yet, I still need to get the back seat out of the van so that the doll house will fit, and I want to mop my floors. That way when I get home next week I will feel happy to return to a semi cleaned house.

I should run. wishing you lots fun with the boys while I am away. take care

That's ok. I figured you had bene busy. Seven First place trophies, WOW, that's impressive. Glad to hear that Aidan enjoyed his birthday. I can understand about James wanting to open presents. He's still small, so there is lots of time to teach him....I think you handled it well.
I am completely finished with it now. The doll house leaves tomorrow, YAY!! Now there will be room in the kitchen for the high chair. No more stress is right, I could certainly use that.
Ally has too more loose teeth too. The tooth fairy is going broke. She is pretty cute. I joked with her that once she loses the other two teeth that baby will say "mommy, daddy, jack-o'-lantern" She thought that was pretty funny. (The ones she is currently losing are on both sides of the top and bottom centre teeth.) Her grade two pictures will be so cute!
James is only 5 though, right? Ally lost her first tooth on her 6th birthday. the next one she lost just over a month later. She didn't lose any more until 8 months after that. Two were loose, she lost one on Thanksgiving, and the other two days later at school when she fell and hit her mouth on the playground. So there is probably still a little while yet for James, but the dentist said that the later they lose them the better. He said it seems like the kids with poor dental hygiene lose theirs faster. The longer it takes to lose them the better bc their mouths can make room for the bigger teeth. Also they are able to be more responsible for taking care of the new teeth. They have to keep their adult teeth a long time, so it probably saves them a little wear and tear.
I haven't gotten a lot done, but now that the doll house is finished, I feel more ambitious to start other things. I think I will get rid of all of the sawdust that is covering my kitchen and then wash the floors.
I may not be on much for the next while, bc after my ob/gyn appointment tomorrow I am leaving for another vacation, and to take the doll house back.
I should get going. I have to put Ally to bed. Her dad is out at a movie tonight with his son and some friends. The Dark Knight is playing.
Have a good night.
