We had a BUSY weekend! Our focus going into the weekend was yardwork. Friday we just chilled most of the day after we got home from the drs office. I think the only thing we really did was grocery shopping.
Saturday, we had to go get spark plugs, filters, etc for the lawn mower, weedeater and blower. That took quite a bit of time because it meant several different stores. Paul got home and got everything put together on the weedeater. When he went to start it - it would not start! We tried not to get to upset because we have had the weedeater for about 8 years!! Paul wanted one that would weedeat and edge - which was not easy to find!! We spent several hours and several more trips to stores looking for THE weedeater. We finally found it.
By the time we got done doing all of the running around, Paul got the front yard done as it started getting dark! So the front is all that he got done Saturday. He is questioning whether he likes the corner lot now - there is a LOT to weedeat - especially since we have a sidewalk around the side and front of the house and then up to the front door.
Sunday we got up and went to church. We had our Easter lunch at the Mexican restaraunt! NO CLEANING!! We got home and Paul and I worked on the backyard while the boys played with their stuff from the Easter bunny. We went through several pairs of clothes each and LOTS of washing to NOT get more poison whatever! Sunday evening we did an Easter egg hunt - which I will post later - with some pictures.
As far as the poison whatever - I am still getting new spots. I go see my OB today and we will see what he thinks. The itching is much worse at night! The side of my belly that initially broke out is REALLY dry - which is part of the problem with the itching. The other side of my belly and my back is all newer spots and they are itching because of the poison - they are not dried out yet! Needless to say - if pregnancy did not do enough to destroy the way your stomach looks - throw on top of that a REALLY bad case of poison whatever and that will pretty much seal the deal!

We Found the Poison!!
The city is going by this month and picking up tree branches, etc that we put out at the curb. Our "ward" is being done this week, so Paul was out cleaning up some vines that he pulled down a couple of weeks ago.
While he was out there he found a plant at the base of the tree that was three leaves and reddish. It does not look like poison ivy though. I did some looking online and I am pretty sure it is poison oak. Not only is it at the base of the tree - it is the only thing living ON the tree.
We are calling the builders agent tomorrow morning and telling them that they have to get someone out here - yesterday - to cut them down because we are all very allergic! Too bad they did not cut them down before we moved in like we asked - then we would not have this problem!!

Boring Baby
One day last week Bryce told me he did not want a baby. I asked why, and he said he just did not want a baby right now.
Today he says "Okay, Andrew can be boring now."
Paul and I just laughed and corrected him and said he could be born. Bryce said "Yes he can be boring." All morning, he has been meaning born, but saying Andrew is going to be boring.
I guess he is going to be a boring blue baby!

Some Relieve At Last!!
Last night we spent $40 on a wash called Zantel - that is for poison ivy. I was DESPERATE!! The stuff claims that if you use it, it will wash away the oils from your skin. It also says that if you have severe poison ivy, you may have to use it several times. The stuff helped for a couple of hours - no itching. I used it twice last night and once this morning. Unfortunately, you only get an ounce for $40 and it does not go far when you have poison ivy as bad as I have it.
I did not get much sleep last night. I kept waking up - scratching. Finally, about 5 am I got up and took a shower and stayed up. At a reasonable hour, I called my dr to beg for some relief. I ended up having to go to the hospital today to see a dermatologist (my ob made an appt for me). He looked at the poison ivy, asked how far along I was and said I must be COMPLETELY miserable!
I ended up getting a shot in the rumpous and send home with some topical cream. I wish I could take the nurse that gave me the shot with me to labor and delivery because as Paul was telling me my butt would hurt after the shot - she was saying she was done. I never felt it!!
The shot worked pretty quick! I have had a few spouts of bad itching, but it is much easier to handle than previously. Apparantly I had a "systematic reaction " which means it was in my blood stream so I was still breaking out from it. The dr was pretty shocked by how severe it was - and that it was mainly focused on my huge belly!
The cream takes a little longer to dry than I like, but it is helping so I will take it!!

Another Caleb Story
This is my imaginary pet.
He is called a hot dog.
He came from the candy land desert.
I gave my hotdog a hat and gun as soon as he could hunt by himself.
He eats popcorn, ketchup, tomatoes, and mustard.
He is mean because he looks tasty.
Please be careful around him even if he's tasty looking.

A Story From the Head of an 8 Year Old
This is a story Caleb wrote. I typed it just like he wrote it:
Once upon a time there was a hen who laid 5 eggs 4 were regular after hatching. 1 chick was stange, it had half a body. one day his mother told him he can live by himself. he crossed a stream geting choked by weeds what asked him to pull the weeds up. Then half chick said in a rude little voice, help yourself. Then he passed a farm house, a farmer started a fire for his patatos, and fire said toss me some wood, and the chick said in a rude little voice, help yourself and then he passed a cook who thn picked him up and said this will make some good chicken soup because half a chick is better than full and tossed him in some boiling water and said don't boil me. And it said he didn't pull the weeds up and he said the fire do not burn me, and the fire said you did give me some sticks and then it was much to late.

Made It To Land!!
He is back on land! I was telling him I had looked at the weather and it looked good down there, but apparantly on the oil rig they were having about 40 mph winds - so made the helicopter trip kinda bumpy! But - he should be back about 4!
He got paid to do a lot of sitting this week! He has tomorrow off for Good Friday, so he only had to do about 3 hours of work all week and gets paid for 40 - nice mini-vacation (if you call bad weather and sitting on an oil rig wondering if your wife is going to go into labor while you are away a vacation).

COME HOME!!
I just looked at the weather for Port Arthur. It says that visibility is 10 miles and there is abundant sunshine. I see NO reason why he can't get home today - especially since we also have abundant sunshine!! If he doesn't get to come home today for some reason they are going to have the wrath of a very angry 9 1/2 month pregnant woman to deal with (especially since the kids are home tomorrow!)
A Blue Baby?
On the way home from taking the boys to school, Bryce was talking about what color all of our animals were. I was really impressed because he said Bella was tan, white and black - as opposed to saying brown (for tan). I did not know that he knew tan!
What was really funny is that after he is saying all of this he says "I don't know what color Andrew is going to be." I am dying laughing and tell him that Andrew will be the same color he is and probably even have blonde hair like him (if he has hair). "No I think he will be blue."
Where does he come up with this stuff?

Now I Am Beyond Upset!!
I am beginning to think my husband is being held hostage! I know that is not something to joke about these days, but he went for a ONE day job on Sunday. This is Wednesday. He is still not home! They are stuck on the oil rig in the middle of the ocean. The helicopter won't fly because they have been having a bad storm all day.
It is just very frustrating for me because #1 I did not even want him to go! #2 I just feel like crap and could really use some help with the boys! I am having a hard time getting up off the couch at all, much less to cook, clean and take care of the kids.
I am trying not to use the creams much because it seems like for a couple of hours after I put the cream on, Andrew just kind of goes crazy. He moves and kicks like crazy, so I don't know if it is really bothering him or if it is just conincidence. So at this point I am only using the cream if I cannot handle the itching. So far today, I have only used it once - which has been hard!

Update
I did get some sleep - and actually slept pretty good. Bryce fell asleep between 9:30 and 10. I stayed awake for awhile, hoping Paul would call. He did, finally, at about 10:45. He was calling from the oil rig (which I think was an hour out by helicopter). He does not get phone service on his cell way out there, so he was calling from their phone.
He said they had finished working and were sleeping on the rig for the night. The helicopter is suppose to pick them up around 10 this morning and then they have an hour drive back to the airport, so the earliest they can even get to the airport is noon. So - as far as things go now - he should be home this afternoon.
Still having contractions, but still mostly just my stomach tightening, only a few that were painful!! I woke up a couple of times last night with some that hurt, but I was able to go right back to sleep. It will be interesting to see if he makes it to 40 weeks. He probably will, but he is going to keep us on our toes until then!!

No Sleep Tonight!
We have been waiting on a cold front to move in that was suppose to bring some severe weather. I tried to get the boys in bed a little early to beat it and the one that needed to beat it the most - didn't!
For about an hour we had nothing but lightening. Then I was looking out the front window and heard some loud bangs and it started hailing. The bangs were not thunder. They were our two 96 gallon trashcans - with trash - being thrown across my front yard into the street. So I had to run out -in the hail - to get the trashcans! When the loud bang happened it also opened the door from the kitchen to the garage (and the garage door is down!)! Pretty big pressure change I guess!
So, Bryce is up. Luckily, I guess, I had not taken my benadryl yet - and I guess I won't tonight!

Still No Daddy!!
I talked to Paul earlier and asked him if he was going to be home today. He said it did not look like it. Apparantly it has been to foggy for the helicopter to fly to the oil rig, so they still have not been able to do the work. What was suppose to be a 3 hour job has turned into a 3-4 day job!! It is pretty frustrating!
I have been having contractions all day. They have not been to painful, just feeling a LOT of pressure. Also been kind of nauseas all day.
Paul did call a little while ago and said the helicopter was on its way and they were going to try to fly out tonight and do the work. If that happens they can get home tomorrow morning, otherwise the earliest he can be home is 10 pm tomorrow night. We will see what happens!!

M-I-S-E-R-A-B-L-E
That is what I am right now. Beyond the fact that I am 9 1/2 months pregnant - this poison ivy! I am putting so many different things on my stomach right now, and am having to walk around with my shirt pulled up or off to let all the creams, etc dry.
Here is what is hard. When I was talking to the dr about using the hydrocortisone cream, he told me to start using it again and that there was another medicine I could take, but that it is an oral medicine and they don't like to give it in late pregnancy. It would have been easier if I had not known about it. I really want to call and ask the dr for it, but I don't want to do anything to jeapordize the baby, obviously.
The benadryl last night helped me sleep! I only got up one time last night - which I don't remember the last time I only got up once. Unfortunately, the one time I got up I was up for about 20-30 minutes trying to get the itching under control. I am alternating the hydrocortisone cream, benadryl cream and this spray that numbs itching and pain (this spray was introduced after I had Isaac and works REALLY well). They all work short-term but not near long enough! I am also taking oatmeal baths, taking benadryl pills, and putting cool wet washclothes on it. The wet washcloth works GREAT as long as I can just lay down so they will stay on!
I am on day 5 of this, and still have spots coming up. I guess we know where Caleb gets his poison ivy allergy!! Paul and I both are allergic to it, so I guess the kids are doomed! I wish I could pinpoint when, where and how we got this!!

Bathing Dillema
First off, I have already gotten VERY spoiled with my tub! I was wanting to take an oatmeal bath for the poison ivy, but I did not want to clog up the jets in my tub, so I took it in the boys bathroom. There tub is tiny!! I am used to my BIG tub!!
Secondly, since I used the smaller tub, I could not get my big belly under the water. I stayed in for about 15 minutes, continuously pouring water over my stomach! Did the best I could - then SMOTHERED my stomach in hydrocortisone cream and popped a benadryl! Maybe I will sleep through it all tonight!
While in the tub I decided my stomach is looking more like a globe than a basketball everyone says it looks like. A nice globe though. You know, the ones that have the land raised up so you can feel it! The land on my globe is BRIGHT red instead of green and the interstates are in the water (the bright blue veins in my stomach). It has some big continents, some small continents and LOTS of little islands.
Hopefully my continents will quickly begin to break apart and disappear!! At least maybe my globe could become a not-as-nice one and the raised continents will become unraised!!

It Figures!
Paul is stuck at the coast. He went down there to do some work on an oil rig and, of course, they have been hit with a bad storm. They were being flown out to the rig on a helicopter. They got part of the way to the rig and had to turn around because of low visibility. It does not look like the weather is going to clear enough for them to get out there today, so he will not be able to come home until tomorrow.
He keeps asking if I am going to be okay until then. I don't get to choose when I go into labor - so we will just hope the baby holds off until he gets home!

37 Week Check-up
The dr has told me I can use Hydrocortisone cream!! YEAH!!!!! I slept fairly well last night, getting up every couple of hours to use the bathroom like normal. When I woke up around 3:30 - I was REALLY itchy and could not get it to stop. I FINALLY fell back asleep!
Bryce told the dr I played in poison ivy. The dr looked at me and I said yes I have poison ivy all over my stomach and would love a remedy for the itching! He asked how I got it - especially since it is only on my stomach. I told him I did not know. He looked at it and was amazed at how bad it was. He asked if it itched pretty bad. YES!! He told me to use benadryl and hydrocortisone cream and to make sure and wash my hands if I scratch so it does not spread anymore. I think the spreading that has happened so far has been from my clothes though, not my hands!
As for Andrew, he is in position for delivery - head down. I have dilated to a one - which for me is a pretty good accomplishment 3 weeks out! Heartbeat sounded good, and everything seems to be fine. I go back Monday (although I hope I don't make it!!).

Poison Ivy
I have what appears to be poison ivy ALL OVER my stomach! Just what every miserable nine month pregnant woman needs on top of an itchy pregnant stomach is poison ivy. I have been using hydrocortisone cream on it, until I talked to Mom earlier. I thought I had read that I could use it, but she questioned it and made me want to make sure. I am NOT supposed to be using it, unless I have too, and then I am not suppose to use it over a big space. I have been spreading it ALL over my stomach today!
I am not using it anymore, obviously. Thank goodness I go to the dr tomorrow and I will find out what I can use. Hopefully, since I did not sleep at all last night, I will be so exhausted tonight that it will not keep me up!
I am not positive where I got the poison ivy - Paul has it too. I started getting spots Friday, that did not itch until yesterday and they have been spreading. My stomach is covered and I have started getting some spots on my legs. Paul has one spot on his stomach and lots on the back of his legs.

Night Owl
The last several nights, Caleb has been waking up in the middle of the night. Instead of trying to go back to sleep, he turns on the tv in his room. We found this out because yesterday morning while we were running errands, Caleb could not stay awake. Everytime we got in the car he would fall asleep.
I asked him why he was so tired and he said he got up at 4 am and watched Bill Nye The Science Guy, but stayed up all morning. Last night, when I was sleeping in Andrew's room, I kept hearing voices at around 3:15. I finally got up to see what was going on (thinking it was outside) and looked out in the hall and saw light coming from under Caleb's door.
We have been having problems with him and the tv and not doing what he was suppose to do since he got his own room. I kept threatening to take the tv out, but haven't. Last night, at 3:45 (less than 10 minutes after I went in and turned it off and unplugged the tv) I heard him plugging it back in. I waited to see if he was going to turn it on again, and he did. I guess he figured I had gone back into my room so it was safe. So, at 3:45am, I was moving a tv out of his room (I know I am not suppose to lift it, but you gotta do what you gotta do!).
It is one thing for him to not mind during the day about the tv, but there is no reason an 8 year old needs to be getting up in the middle of the night to watch tv. He says he does it because he can't get back to sleep, yet he was back to sleep in no time after I took the tv out. He obviously wasn't giving himself a chance to go back to sleep!

Not To Great A Day!
I literally got NO sleep last night. I was awake ALL night!! I "slept" on the bed in Andrew's room, though, so I did not keep Paul up all night. Andrew would not settle down last night, and I think he "dropped" at some point. I knew I had ribs, because he has been in them for the last too-many-months, but I forgot that you are suppose to be able to feel them under your skin. I CAN FEEL MY RIBS!!!
I can breath a little better, but it was traded with other downfalls. For example, I cannot bend forward at all when I am sitting down now, I live in the bathroom - more than I did before!! Still, completely uncomfortable!!
I was put on bedrest today - from my husband. He had to go down to the coast to do a job tomorrow morning. He will be home tomorrow, but he is very concerned. This is what I have heard: with your first pregnancy the baby can drop several weeks before you actually go into labor. In second, third, etc pregnancies, the baby does not normally drop until you are about to go into labor.
I keep giving Paul a bad time telling him he is going to miss the delivery! He told me that I never went into labor early before and not to pump myself up to go into labor early this time. I told him if I could work myself up into labor - I would have had all the kids early!!
Before he left he told me that I could not go into labor until late tomorrow night. He told me to lay on the couch as much as possible and do absolutely nothing and then when he gets home if I want to do jumping jacks until I go into labor - that was fine. Don't count on that happening!!
I go to the dr tomorrow, so we will see if labor is looming (in the VERY near future!). I will probably get there and be disappointed to hear there has been NO progression! We will see. I have been having some sharp pains down low - so maybe there is hope.
I called Paul a little while ago and he told me I probably should not call him because every time my name pops up on his phone he gets worried! It is kind of funny!!

Before he left he told me that I could not go into labor until late tomorrow night. He told me to lay on the couch as much as possible and do absolutely nothing and then when he gets home if I want to do jumping jacks until I go into labor - that was fine. Don't count on that happening!!
I go to the dr tomorrow, so we will see if labor is looming (in the VERY near future!). I will probably get there and be disappointed to hear there has been NO progression! We will see. I have been having some sharp pains down low - so maybe there is hope.
I called Paul a little while ago and he told me I probably should not call him because every time my name pops up on his phone he gets worried! It is kind of funny!!
