I must admit that during this entire pregnancy my acne hasn’t been too bad! Unlike my friend, L, who is 17 weeks pregnant and having some major breakouts. I keep telling her it’s because she’s having a girl.
The thing with my current acne is that it comes and then a single pimple lingers for months without healing or going away!
After I pop the kid I might look into natural acne treatment. I’m guessing that my hormones might be wacky and I’ll need something to balance out the oily skin!

Sunday when I was having all of the contractions I realized that we don’t have a watch with a second hand or a stop watch! So we were using an online contraction counter which was pretty inefficient considering that you had to have the laptop nearby and you also had to press a button at the start and stop of each contraction.
Maybe for the birth I should think about getting a breguet watch! At least I’d know when the contractions started and since they are known for keeping perfect time I might even be able to write the information down and graph it too!
Of course, more than likely I’m going to be so occupied with contractions and getting the kid out I will really care less about what’s on my wrist or some graph!

So these days I’ve had a hard time getting my shoes to fit. In fact, my feet look like Fred Flintstones and by the end of the day I feel like they’re going to burst!
My flip flops never let me down though! I’m glad I was able to get some clearance flippers at the end of the summer last year because my feet love the fresh air!

I really do think that we’re going to try to take advantage of a night out before the baby arrives. I figure when I turn thirty-seven weeks we can go out for a nice dinner (MINUS GRAEM) and enjoy each other’s company!
Of course, I’d love a night around poker tables since you know how I love my casino adventures! However, I *know* Margot won’t take me to the casino two hours away to play a little black jack!
Boy, I can just see big mama gambling nine months pregnant with a beer in one hand and cigarette in another.
Can you say - white trash? I’d gamble away all the diaper money!

is that if we get baby gifts for Emerson that Graem will feel left out.
I’ve really tried to pick everything up for the baby that we might need but I know that here and there we’ll probably get a few gifts from family and friends.
One thing that we read suggested actually having a gift stash for Graem too so that when we opened a gift for Emerson she’d have one too. Dollar Store here we come!
