Well...I stayed on line and watched the party till about 1:00am central time. Robyn and Annessa and others had a party last night with a live web cam.
It was fun to watch, but looks like I went to bed too early. The good stuff happened late. Check out thier sites for details.
Thanks for the open invitation! It was fun to watch and live through you guys!! My poor back just could not take it anymore and I had to go to bed.
Did not get much done over the weekend.
Had a Dr's appt Tuesday morning. My Dr asked about my situation with the father. She wanted an update to see if it was better. I told it was worse and explained a little..but not all. Now, she can be very judgemental. And is one of those "black and white" kind of people. You should do what she says! Well, when I told her she was the only one that felt that way about the situation and I had not made up my mind she really went off. She then tells me to purchase a certain book by Dr. Laura. I explained that I had never listened to this woman.
Well, I went to my first class. Thank you Camille for going with me!!
It was ok. Knew a great deal of what she went over but did learn a few new things. The women who taught the class seemed like she had something to prove. See Camille's entry for details. She also seemed to me, that she was really pro no drugs. Several women had a lot of questions about the epidural because I felt she really did not go over it all that well. She also did not really go over C-sections too much either. I know that most women have a vaginal birth, but some women have C-sections whether they are scheduled or emergancy.
Ok...I have given her a try. I have been listening to her show this afternoon.
OMG! I don't think I could disagree with this woman more. I understand that she has a firm opinion and glad she has the right to speak it...but damn she is just plain rude. Could she be more full of herself.
I caught Jimmy Fallon in the Tonight Show last. I have never seen one of his interviews or stand-up, just a few clips from SNL and hosting the VMAs and Mtv Movie Awards. From what I have seen of him, I like him. He is pretty funny.
So, here is my questions...was he on drugs or is he always like that? He reminded me of Tom Arnold when he was strung out on coke. He kept moving around, wiping his palms on the chair and would rarely look Jay Leno in the face. He appeared as though he had the coke jitters.
Jimmy Fallon fans...your opinion please??
Got this from Camille, who knew I would steal it! :)
Ok...so do you think this is because I am pregnant right now..I don't see myself as that rude...what do you think?
Let me know who you are too!
Got up early and headed over to my brother's house. It was my niece's 3rd birthday. They had invited about 30 people, 16 kids from the age of 3-9. It was at a nice park. Weather was pretty good, overcast and not too hot at first. The party was 11-1. Went till about 3:00 though.
Had a good time. Half the people that RSVP's did NOT show up, so they had tons of left over food. Deanna had a blast. She is just so darn cute.
Went back over to my brother's afterwards with my parents. Realized I was sunburned. Not good. At least it was just sections of my legs and arms. Mid thigh to knees...so bending does not feel too great. My own fault though...I am as pale as pale can be and had sun screen with me that I forgot to use it.
WOW...talk about lazy!!
Got up around 9:00. Went straight to the couch. Ate something around 10:30. Still on the couch, called Camille. Stayed on the phone with her till about 12:30.
Fell asleep about 1:00 I guess....woke up at 4:30!!!!!!!!! Now, that is a LONG ass nap. My body still did not want to get up and I have to say it is taking everything out of me not to go back to sleep. I think my body is still trying to catch from yesterday.
I have to go into the office in the morning, so that sucks. If I am still this tired I may ask to push it to Tuesday. I am really tired. But I would not have traded yesterday for anything.
I love those kids and they love their Aunti Shel. It really was a great day.
I watched the documentary last night on ABC. At first I was not sure if I wanted to watch...to remember all the sorrow. I am glad I watched. It was done well.
Everyday I still wish there is something more I can do. My heart goes out to all families that were involved on this tragic day.
As I watch President and Mrs. Bush walking the ramp at Ground Zero, tears run down my cheeks. It reminds me that we must go on and not let anyone make us live in fear.
My warmest thoughts go out to everyone. Be sure to tell the people in your life "I love You". It is a small phrase but means more than words can express.
I have had a long week! Started out with a day at the hospital Monday. All is ok now....Friday. It has just been a long hard week. I am glad it is over. Not going into details..just know that I am fine.
I had to run some errands late this afternoon and boy am I tired. I could barely make it around the mall. I have so much to do this evening but am completely exhausted.
Not sure what was up with me but I could not sleep! I was so exhausted yet sleep was not possible. Last time I looked at the clock it was around 2:30am.
I am tired this morning but excited about the shower. I am nervous too. I stress about everything. Who will show, will they have a good time..etc. I do not like to be center of attention either. Having everyone watch me open gifts makes me nervous. Others might say I love the lime light...but really inside..I am very shy.
I did get a really cute dress to wear. I am curious to see what others think. Little black dress with white flower outlines. It comes to my knees with a ruffle end kind of thing. The best part purchasing it was the woman who said "You should try the fake belly on and see how it looks once you get bigger?". When I told her I was already 34 weeks..she was shocked and told me how great I looked. Made me feel good. Some of the women have not even seen me since I started showing so I do not want to look too big.
Well...I better run to get ready. Ya'll have a good day!
Ok, entry before last I mentioned I walked around the mall and could not believe how it wore me out. Well....found out yesterday that walk was actually ONE FULL MILE!
LOL!! I had no idea! Don't think my Dr would be too happy to hear about that so I think I won't tell.
:)
I had a good time yesterday. At times it was akward but for the most part it was good. Camille brought a wonderful cake and gave Molly many incredible gifts.
I can't believe in about 5 weeks I will have a baby girl. It really is scary.
I received many things I needed as well as adorable clothes and blankets. My friends mother actually gave Molly a wool Rotheschild's coat with matching hat. I can not wait till she is old enough to wear it!!! A co-worker made Molly a beautiful quilt with matching pillow, stuffed blocks and bibs.
All gifts were great!!! Camille really out did herself. She even surprised me with the bedding for the crib. Molly's room is going to be so cute!!
Thanks to everyone!!!
Oh....and I finally slept last night!! I was so exhausted!!
I just read an entry over at Zonker's. It was a good read. It mentioned the mindless forward e-mails we all get and hate and the difference between bloggers and non-bloggers.
I, of course, am a non-blogger. I use this blog as a journal with some comments about things other than my life. And yes, those comments usually involve TV or movies. Not anything of substance.
Ok, Julie finally has some new quizzes! I could not resist.

Thanks again Julie.
Camille and I went to my second birthing class last night. It was finally asked..."What is ya'll story?". The guy that asked was really funny, but the ENTIRE class was awaiting the answer.
A portion of this class delt with breathing. It was the part when you get on the floor with your partner. Can I just tell you how UNCOMFORTABLE I was. I knew I would be, but when we are getting on the floor is when this guy askes the question, so most of the couples would watch to see what we were going to do.
I have been busy this week working from the office. Three full days. Does not sound like much, but it kicked my butt.
I am so thankful to my office for allowing me to work from home. I now know that if I had been working from the office the past three weeks I could easily have ended up on best rest the last month of my pregnancy.
Resting up today!
Went to a breastfeeding class in the morning. 9am - Noon. It was extremely informative. I am thinking that my sister-n-law must not have had this class offered at the hospital she had her kids at because she had many problems and they were all answered in this class.
It is still pretty weird but I think it is important to at least try and breastfeed. The instructor was great. She went over everything but at no time did she put down mothers who choose not to breastfeed. I respected that a great deal. It was a positive class from start to finish.
WoW...four weeks. It is getting scary!
After class I went to a friends and we went shopping. We went to a place that is like an outdoor flea market, but has many actual stores outlets located there. It was a great deal of walking, probably not the best idea for me but I really wanted to go. The weather was great!!!!
Bought a glider chair. Many people have wanted me to get a recliner chair, but I can not stand them. I do not care how comfortable they are I have always thought they were the tackiest things ever! Well, after the class that morning I was rethinking the idea of a chair.
We ran across this leather glider with foot stool and bargined with them. So, end result..I bought the darn thing. Still do not like it, but it is comfortable and will be good for downstairs and it is NOT a recliner. I will get rid of it as soon as Molly is older.
I can't believe I caved. I am sure it will really come to good use, but I really hate these kind of chairs. I now will have a rocking chair up stairs and a glider downstairs. I will be able to feed in comfort on both floors.
Afterwards I went to dinner with my friend, her husband and two other couples. It was fun and the food was great. I got home around 9:30pm. I was so exhausted!!!
I have done nothing today but lay on the couch. All I want to do is sleep. I am really worn out.
Hope everyone has had a good weekend!
Had a little scare today. Since last night I have been having pains, pressure, the urge to push and other symptoms you do not care to hear. Well, I was reading one of my books and found out that I was having 5 out of 6 symptoms for pre-term labor.
I debated with myself for most of the morning and then finally called the doctor. I went into the office and found out no labor...but I have an infection that could cause labor. Oh Fun!
No big deal..it is something normal with pregnant women. She just told me to really track the pains and take it easy. She kinda scared me in that she completed a test that I was supposed to have next week and when I asked why.."In case you have the baby this weekend" was the answer. Oh my!
I know she was just taking the safe out, but I am not having the baby for at least 4 more weeks. I just will not allow it. :)
It made me realize that I am really about to have a baby. Reality is here!! I have a lot to get done before the baby so I better get a move on.
Camille posted new pics. On the right side under "Shelby and Camille". There are three pics, one linked to each word.
Thanks Camille!
It is official. I am 9 months pregnant today.
I can not believe it has been 9 months already. It seems like I have been pregnant forever but then again it seems like yesterday that I found out I was pregnant. It is so surreal.
I am going to be a momma soon. AMAZING!!
I just had the best pizza.
When I was about 11 or 12 a small italian place opened. It was wonderful..well it is still open but is now located by my new residence.
I stopped in today and got a cheese pizza and fried zucchini. The zucchini is the best..not heavy at all. Very light and full of flavor. I ate the entire order!!
Then on to the pizza. A medium cheese pizza that is the size of an extra large cut into huge slices. It is the kind that you have to fold to eat......ON MY GOSH!!! It is soooooo good!
I ate TWO pieces!! I think this is the most food I have eaten!!! Now let me say it was also the only thing I have had to eat today.
Venice Italian Restaurant ..it is the best!
I have so much to do and am so exhausted.
I have to clean the entire house and wash all the baby clothes and sheets. I also need to paint a bookshelf. It may not sound like much but it really is for me.
I need to vaccum the entire place(I miss my concrete loft floors), sweep and mop both bathrooms and kitchen, clean the tub upstairs(not going to be fun due to the darn things is deep and round), wash my sheets, clothes and put up clothes. Then wash all the babies clothes and sheets and fold. Last, my living and dining room. They are a mess. The dining room has been turned into my office so it is a paper mess. The floor in my living room looks like a mail room. I just open and drop. URGH!!!
Why have I done this to myself.
The worst part...all I can think about is wanting to go to the State Fair and eat!! :)
