A Tale of Two Mamas

Trying to keep someone IN timeout

A little blood - YAY! *graphic*

This morning at 5am I woke up to find that I had what appeared to be a clot of blood. I was so excited and had to wake Margot up instantly to show her my findings.

She was not as amused and I’m sure seeing my disgusting pre-birth was not her idea of a morning greeting.

She went back to bed and I continued to examine and then went to the bathroom a few more times. Each time I wiped I’d get a mucusy red/pink/brownish wormy substance.

Margot went on a geocaching adventure and met up with friends and I went to the farmer’s market with Graem. We met up with J, L, I, and S. The kids played and we ate some great food too.

After the farmer’s market we went to the bakery to pick up 3 bread puddings. Rumor has it if you’re pregnant and nearing your due date if you eat these bread puddings you’ll go into labor.

Then we went to the mall. J and Graem ran asking for gumballs and rides on the machines. I walked like I had a gorilla in my stomach and almost stole this old lady’s walker. (You know the one with the cool basket, seat, and hand brakes?)

After walking up and down the mall and through Target we went to the Target Cafe where we hooked up with an endless cup of Coke and day old popcorn followed by all of the trashy magazines we could get our hands on.

We tried not to neglect the children and filled them up with popcorn and water while they harassed other Target patrons.

While at Target we decided that we should make a stop at the Kentucky Fried Chicken! Two pregnant women, two kids, and a station wagon and it was a done deal….we were off to the town 45 minutes away to pick up a family bucket of chicken, mashed potatoes, orange macaroni, and a gallon of soda!

On the way home we had to pull over at the gas station where I clogged up the toilet and we had to make a run for it as I was running out the door! Eek!

Margot met us back at J&L’s house where we enjoyed tons of fried chicken and other glutoneous food.

Now we’re home and I’m exhausted. I just soaked in Burt’s Bees Therapeutic Salts and we rented National Treasure 2 with Nicholas Cage. More than likely it won’t be too good and I’ll fall asleep within the first few minutes.

Well, it looks like this baby is coming in June after all!

Sweet! Sounds like your mucus plug is coming out, my kids were ALL born within 24 hours of this happening!

(I was also super excited each time my plugs started coming out! - hubs? Not so much LOL)

also, Nat.Treasures2 was pretty good, hubs and I saw it in the theaters when if first came out!

Good luck!

June it is!

It is amazing…we develop such worldly palates, but at the end of the day, there is still nothing like KFC. I can eat 3 biscuits!
