 I hate that little piece of slang yet I love to giggle at it. ah well.

I went back to work yesterday. I miss my son, but it’s all good. We’ll live.
now that I’m sitting on my arse most of the day, I’m back on Calorie Count at least until the next Weight Watchers session starts at work. It’s too easy to stuff my face all day in this place and I’m tryin to get MILFtastic. A girl can dream. I’m already below my pre-preg weight (not by a whole lot though) so all should be well.

I’ve also started wearing make-up regularly again. Yay! It’s a good feeling. Once finances allow, I’ll buy a few new articles of clothing. In the meantime, I’m back in the office and selling Mark for extra cash. Buy stuff!!!

So who wants to buy me one? Seriously. I think it’s do wonders for my back. And I think we all have heard and felt my knee by now.

These things are pretty cool though. I think Erik’s the one who first told me about them. Apparently the infrared part removes toxins that a regular sauna doesn’t get to.  I ended up getting even more info from this  Infrared Sauna site. I didn’t even think about this before, but you can burn 900 calories in 30minutes with these things! i knew regular saunas did a little, but this seems like something I can get behind. I wish my gym had them. I only burn like a third of that on the elliptical machine.

So far infrared saunas seem to be the way to go. I dunno why anyone would buy a regular sauna over this kind. I need money so we can have one

Soooooo I had my doctor’s appointment yesterday. He was surprised I’m still not having contractions, yet am still3cm dialated and very well effaced. He said he’d like to induce me Monday (5 days early) because of my high BP and Xavier’s size, position, etc. I agreed because of all that stuff, and my being sick of waiting. We’re all confident things will go smoothly, but I immediately started freaking out like, “omg it’s gonna hurt”

Time out: I’m watchin bringing home baby right now and this lady has baby in the basinet, on his side, with all these loose blankets and stuffed animals. Why am  so afraid/annoyed!

So yeah, I just watched a woman on TLC be induced for te same reasons as me and now I’m less freaked out. Hopefully things go just as smoothly for me, you and everyoneone we know (great movie btw).

I am sooooo bored. At least when he’s out I’ll have something to do and someone to talk to lol. AND Erik will be off work for a week and we’ll be keeping visitors away til after 5 days.

Okay I’m done ranting.

(I wrote this to a friend and figure I’ll just be lazy and C&P to the world)

I was in the hosp from 1:30 to like 6pm today. Since I have high BP, I have to let them know if I have headaches (and other stuff) for fear of preclampsia. Well I was waiting for like 30min or so cuz it was crazy in maternity triage. Then I was hooked up to the machine for a Non-Stress Test. That took hours. They also drew blood. I’m okay with it all because my BP is high since the pregnancy, but sheesh!

I’m sooooo sleepy. Sheesh.

We think so.

So I’m not having any ouchy contractions yet, but I went from 0cm to 3cm dialated since last wednesday’s appointment.

Dr. R thinks I’ll deliver this weekend or by next Wednesday. That was the discussion this morning. He’s not my official doctor, but he’s in the practice so I see him sometimes.

Dr. E (my ‘real’ doctor) called me tonight because I told them I wasn’t going to the hospital for my weekly NST. I was just too tired and my foot hurts. So anyway, he double-checked my chart before calling and naturally he calls me and freaks me out. I’m kewl now, but still.

Dr. E says because my BP is still high, my cervix has dilated at a fast rate, and all signs point to Xavier wanting out, we’ll see about inducing me if I don’t deliver by our appointment next week.

Note to self: 9/11 is Thursday, not Wednesday. Next appt is Thurs. Hosp NST is Wednesday.

I want a cheesesteak.
