Confession Saturday








- I am in a blogging slump. All I have on my mind is this moving process (the entire thing) and Gabe, and I read peoples' blog posts and wish I had creativity to share. As evidenced by today's post (which was almost a non-post), I'm not feeling very creative lately. I'm sorry.

- I reached an all time low yesterday. As in, I bought a bag of peppermints in the morning, and the bag was gone by dinner time. I wish I was kidding. I felt terrible (literally...heartburn and guilt), and I was totally stress-eating yesterday. Ugh.

- I think Gabe is going to be a bigger baby than Ethan was. At my appointment last week, my doctor asked me if I had any feelings on whether Gabe would be bigger or smaller. I told him bigger. He told me I was measuring about a week behind. This past week, he asked me the same question (er...he asks a lot of the same questions over and over, week after week), and I said, "I felt bigger, but last week you said I was measuring a week behind." and he said, "Yeah. Well, you're mostly on point...maybe a little behind." I still feel like he will be bigger, though. In 9 days, we'll know!

- I'm terrified I'll go into labor before the 25th. You know how some women fear having to get c-sections? I fear not getting mine.




- My 2 favorite Easter candies? Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs and Peeps.

- We usually do our grocery shopping in one night, at 2 different stores: Target and Giant. We go to Target first. I try to meal plan, generally, and get as many coupons ready as possible. We have a REDcard, so, we get what we can at Target so we can save 5%, then, we get the rest at Giant. Because we generally end up getting more at Target, or about half, I always feel slightly bad when we are checking out, and we're those people, piling up a million things onto the belt. I feel bad about silly things sometimes. Whatever. :)

- It's supposed to snow today. I guess I can't be too annoyed with that, since spring has a few more days to arrive, technically.

  1. I've lost faith in dr. estimates on size. ON London's due date they said he felt somewhere around six pounds. Exactly a week later, he was born via induction [I always feared going on my own, too -- I was induced with both of mine!] and weighed in at 9lbs 10.5oz and I don't think he gained over three pounds in a week!

  2. I understand your confessions!!! Don't worry about your blogging slump, I think that what you post is relevant to several readers. We went grocery shopping this past week, and by you and other friends who meal plan (i got into meal planning) and my intense couponing, we saved close to $100 dollars in shopping. It took me over 2 hours to get my coupons together and meals together, but it was worth the savings!!! Well I was hoping for snow today or atleast ugly weather, since I have several things to do around the house and I am fasting today, so I will not have the urge to be outside with the kids today!!!

  3. - I'm terrified I'll go into labor before the 25th. You know how some women fear having to get c-sections? I fear not getting mine.

    YES! I had planned for a vaginal with Lucas, but then he ended up being a c-section, 16 hours after my water broke. I was super scared and worried at the time, but after? My recovery was such a breeze. I'm in a mommy group on Facebook and the girls were talking about 8 months later still not feeling 100% down there and I'm super afraid of tearing or having to be cut. And I like being intimate with my husband, I don't want to be 8 months postpartum and still not enjoying it. No, thanks!

    And, my doctor thought Lucas was too big and that's why I wasn't progressing {never got past 4cm dilated, even after being at 2/3 since 33 weeks and my water broke at 35w5d}. His pulled him out and said "Oh" {not what you want to hear!} and then he was only 5 lbs. 9 oz., a little peanut!

    Sorry about the blogging slump, totally understandable friend. You do have a lot going on... Enjoy these last moments as a family of 3 :)

  5. These is an awesome post! Sometimes the most honest and pure posts are the best. They touch our hearts and make us smile. We all are vulnerable at times and that is OK! Try to focus on the positive things in life and take some time to yourself. You have all of us as bloggy buddies to talk to as well :) So feel free to send an email my way at least. I can totally relate to everything you are experiencing. Have an awesome weekend! XO

  6. I want to know where the snow was in December when I was desperate for "that Christmas feeling." I'm ready for Spring NOW, please.

    (As you can see, I'm a bit grumpy about the current weather :) )

  7. I would be scared of not getting a c-section too. Labor? Not for me.

    Peeps? For real? lol
