finally remembered the title

you cant find they lyrics if you cant remember the title of the song.... preggo brain at it again.

Oh, why you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Dont be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
cause Ive seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
You dont know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less

Ill stand by you
Ill stand by you
Wont let nobody hurt you
Ill stand by you

So if youre mad, get mad
Dont hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too
Well Im a lot like you
When youre standing at the crossroads
And dont know which path to choose
Let me come along
cause even if youre wrong

Ill stand by you
Ill stand by you
Wont let nobody hurt you
Ill stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And Ill never desert you
Ill stand by you

And when...
When the night falls on you, baby
Youre feeling all alone
You wont be on your own

Ill stand by you
Ill stand by you
Wont let nobody hurt you

Ill stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And Ill never desert you
Ill stand by you
Ill stand by you
Wont let nobody hurt you
Ill stand by you
Wont let nobody hurt you
Ill stand by you

awwwww....

first purchase... sooooooooo tiny...

names - the final 4... poll to the side

ok, so i create a poll for our 4 name choices...

we had a list of about 14 names, combined them to make first/middle name combinations that we liked and came up with about 10.... DH and I picked 3 each from the 10 and 2 of the combinations we chose were the same!

but... we're including the other 2 choices that only 1 of us picked ... (make sense? im really tired).... soooooo ... options are in the poll... any input would be appreciated...

take in consideration our last name is short (3 letters)...

thanks!

dammit ... so bummed

i failed the 1 hour glucose tolerance test... i am a lucky ducky and get to take the 3 hour test tomorrow... DH is going to take 1/2 day off work to watch DD... there's no way she would survive 3+ hours at the doc's office - although she was excellent today for the hour.

hopefully i dont have gestational diabetis (sp??) ... if i do, i guess i've eaten my last bit of cheesecake for awhile...

gahhhh...

ok, ummm yeah... unfill 'worked'

up a ton... yikes. 14 lbs... eeeek

does this sound obnoxious?? - input please

DH and I are not big fans of 'sport' type apparel for boys (no baseball/football prints, etc..) i dunno what it is, we just dont care for it...

since registering yesterday, i noticed quite a few items (ok, MOST items) have sporty themes, so we put this as a comment on our registry ... we just dont want someone buying something we will not put Tigger in ...

but i was thinking last night ... does this sound pretentious or something?

this is what i put:
it's a BOY!!! :)

for blankets/clothing, we'd really prefer animal type prints/dogs/safari/etc over sports type. please

thinking BLUE!!

it's a boy! NO DOUBT - he flashed us really well a couple of times!

off to go shopping / registering.

seriously... boys can wear pink / dresses, right???

not that i'm really having a boy... not that i know anything... no clue (next ultrasound Tuesday)
this is less than half of what is left of my daughter's closet... the clothes that do not fit her any longer... yup, lotsa pink, lotsa girly dresses... the piles on the floor are over 18 inches high each...
yup, over 1/2 her closet still needs to be cleaned out - still... huge green tubs (2 or 3) still need to be gone through... guess i know what we'll be doing this week.

stubborn is an understatement..

well since Friday I haven't really felt Tigger move much.. a couple
kicks on Saturday morning about 6, but nothing the rest of the day and
all last night... even his 'active' periods between 3-315 & 6 am...

so yeah, I was really concerned and called my OB... "go right to
labor & delivery (L&D) NOW..."

so at 7am, we were off to L&D... the nurse hooked me up right away -
once we actually FOUND L&D... got a nice heartbeat and about 2 min
later... thump thump... didn't feel it, but we heard it on the
monitor... a couple min after that I felt the thump... didn't really
feel a lot, but we heard them. so she gave me some orange juice..
felt a few thumps and off I went... she gave me a few tips on how to
get him moving.. if it doesn't work come in again... hopefully we
won't be back until February...

is this selfish/stupid?

DH's family lives in Canada.. (they don't really like me per se cause
i'm not Chinese... *eyeroll*)... so needless to say, I was THRILLED
when they got 'web chat' and wanted to chat with DH via webcam... I
didn't really want anything to do with it... and since I was sore
from my massage (elbow deep tissue massage to shoulders) I took a warm
shower...

I come out and really hope they are finished... they were... he then
proceeds to tell me that his cousin and his wife are expecting their
2nd child... February 18th... WTF... I'm due the 13th... I don't
really know exactly what pisses me off... maybe because we're just
now finding out?? (DH's parents see them weekly)..

now this is really pathetic but now I'm really hoping for a boy for us
(this will be their second girl - boys are SOO important to the
culture and if Tigger's a boy, he would be the first...)

*sigh* just wanted to get that out I guess...

holy crap!!!

i cant believe i'm in the third trimester... 27 weeks pregnant.. 13 weeks to go... OMG .. only 13 weeks to go...

we have so much stuff to do...

here's a belly pic... yup, i'm preggers...

a new LBT hero...

Donna113 - you rock my socks!

yo... Gloucester...

i cant read yer blog... :(

hmmm.... pretty cool...

so i'm 6 1/2 months pregnant this week (almost 27 weeks - will be on Friday)...

it's chilly and rainy in Texas today... the house just feels, i dunno ... damp... we have 2 very shedding dogs so i mostly hang around in jeans and a t-shirt... the only mat jeans i have are capris and well, with this weather, it just doesnt work very well...

so i'm digging through my closet looking for some casual pants to keep my poor legs warm -- i think im the only preggo that isnt always warm.. i find an old pair of running pants (old meaning from Mar/April after my PS...) i figure my t-shirt is huge so i can just cover up my belly with the shirt... the pants fit... even in the belly... size 18 pants... hmm... not bad. :)

248 am and yup, im awake

ok, this is just getting ridiculous... its like im not even tired...

i was just lying there in bed and all that was happening was my left shoulder was getting sore... so i tried to kinda lay on my tummy ... not fully on it, but enough to ease the shoulder ... Tigger would not have that one bit... was like "HEY... get off of me!!!"

i may need to find my wedge that i bought when i had plastics ... dunno how that will help, but maybe it will...

blahhhh

442 and i cant sleep ... we keep a fan on in the bedroom as a 'noise detractor' of sorts... (barking dogs - neighbors, snoring dogs - ours, snoring spouse, etc...) well i woke up and literally coudl not breathe through my nose... stupid fan wasnt even pointed towards me ... almost an hour after i turned off the fan and i still cant freaking breathe... of course as soon as i turned off the fan, neighbor dog started barking...

so now i'm awake. fun times...
no - not really

OMG

I am SOOOOO unfilled... had Vietnamese soup for lunch.. I NEVER eat
it all (beef & vermacelli noodles)... today I ate all of mine and
took some of my DD's noodles... phew!!! but it was sooooo good (&
spicy!!)

how would you react?

most of you know my DH is Chinese...

a few times a month we go to an 'authentic' Chinese restaurant for
lunch (dim sum)...

the way dim sum works is they bring small meals to your table and put
a stamp on your paper for the price and you pay when you are finished...

today the table next to us ordered the same dish I wanted... just out
of curiosity, I looked at what they were charged... they were charged
price C, we were charged price D (about 50 cents more)... their table
was all Chinese people, we obviously were not... DH doesn't think
it's a big deal, it now has me wondering what else and how many times
have we been charged differently??!

holy swelling!!

my fingers are so swollen that my ring barely fits. I guess all the
walking last night and right now (at the mall) isn't good for my
body... must drink more...
