Stupid finger & Stupid Dog!

I broke my finger! (Ok so NOT literally!) but it HURTS a lot and it's swollen! I have to lock my filing cabinet and drawers at work every night since I MIGHT not go to work the next day, and I thought it was still unlocked and I went to open it to get something out and jammed my middle finger on the cabinet! I did that on Friday and it STILL hurts?!? It hurts to bend it and grab things, and of course its on my right hand! Grrr!

Today I hurt my back too! )o: Alex and I were walking to my car, and since David decided that a toddler bed should be in the middle of the garage along with the trash cans and a power wheel, I'm being forced to park outside in the driveway. So anyway Alex and I were walking to my car this morning, and some RAVAGED looking dog ran into the garage at FULL SPEED! Scared the crap out of us! And Alex started screaming and climbing on me, so I yanked him up away from the vicious beast! Stupid dog kept growling and trying to jump on me! I swear he wanted to eat Alex! Since we were closer to my car than the door to get into the house (and I was scared the beast would run into the house with us) I ran to the car (NOT easy being 37 weeks pregnant!) and threw Alex in and the dog stopped growling and just wouldn't get out of our garage! So I grabbed a broom and smacked him with it! Alex was crying in the car because he was so scared! The dog didn't seem interested in ME, just Alex! So I "chased" it away with a broom and threw a rock at it (lol sorry I'm not usually violent towards random animals, unless they are trying to eat my kid!) And then as I was buckling Alex into his seat (remember I just threw him in the car! LOL) I was watching the dog run down the street and a neighboor who has a 1 year old was walking to her car came out of her front door the dog ran full speed ahead towards her! She managed to get back inside, but the dog was barking at her door! Sheesh! He must have hated little kids! But Anyway when we got to my Mom's house Alex refused to walk inside because he was scared a dog would try to eat him there too! So we ran in the house! poor kid! Will be traumatized when walking to the car from now on! I don't know what happened to the dog, but I hope I never see it again!

I think I twisted funny, or pulled something when grabbing Alex. David thinks I tensed up and hurt my back! )o: Not a fun way to start the day!

Contractions = ????

So I've been having contractions since Saturday. Nothing consistent or anything to get excited about. I'll have one at like 10am, and nothing again until like 12pm! And so the cycle goes. Very annoying. So we'll see if this means I'll go into labor soon, or if Gabriel is just messing around being a funny guy or something! hahah

On a side note, we got all the baby stuff done. Hospital nags are packed, crib is set up, play pen is up down stairs, car seat is ready, double stroller is ready. Just need the baby! lol I have like 23 days left! So hopefully he comes soon!!!

30 Days!

30 Days! Wow We only have 30 more days (hopefully) until we have 2 kiddos! I'm excited! A little nervous only because I'm working, and I keep worrying that I'll go into labor at work. How traumatizing would that be to 28 5th graders?! Yikes! haha Oh well maybe I'll go home on October 2nd (my last day before maternity leave and go into labor then!) and not have to worry about it! Anyway this pregnancy has gone by soooo fast! We are getting the baby stuff done this weekend! I keep having dreams that Gabriel will have to sleep in a laundry basket lol So having his crib and bassinet put together and ready will be nice. (o: Time flys when you are having fun I guess! haha

PS. On a side note, I've been feeling really good the past 2 days! Not sore at all! Even in the middle of the night! (o:

My Birthday


Yesterday was my 30th birthday! YIKES! I'm getting old! (o: Anyways its always fun being a teacher during your birthday and holidays because the kids are so excited for you and bring you random gifts and goodies! I'm always surprised that the kids do a lot for my birthday because I've only know them for such a short time. But they always do something for me! It's so cute. Even kids that I had last year gave me cards, and gifts. (o: My kids even threw me a surprise party yesterday. My class did that for me last year too. Kids are so cute! (o:

Anyways I also got flowers sent to me by Mark, Sue, Sam and the kids. They are so beautiful! I love them! They are on my dining table right now and really brighten up the room! I love them!!

My parents and Jenniffer treated David, Alex and I to Olive Garden! I LOVE Olive Garden. It was fun to spend time together and have fun. My sister bought me a Blackberry Storm Cell Phone! I LOVE IT! I can't ever go back to a regular cell phone again! Seriously! LOL I'm addicted to it! (o: Its touch screen, and I can do anything I would on a computer. So nice! (o:

Well thats about it for my birthday! (o:

Update

Heather had her C-section, and the babies are doing GREAT! Addyson and Alexis were born Sept. 1, 2009 weighing in at 4lbs 1oz and 3lbs 5oz! They are both in the NICU for observation, and are breathing on their own! Everyone is so relieved they are doing so well!! Hopefully they get to go home with Mom in a few days! We'll see though! Heather is also doing great! She is happy with her ADORABLE little girls!

Request

I don't usually ask anyone for prayers or thoughts or anything like that. But Kim's cousin Heather (she's my friend too) is having twins. She is due the same day that I am, but you know how twins are. They have a schedule of their own. Anyway she's been on best rest for a few weeks now because she keeps having contractions and has been dilating. Well she's been having contractions and pressure since last night, so she went to the hospital this morning and she was admitted. She is having an emergency C-Section to deliver the babies at 4:30pm! That's in like 15 minutes! She is only 34 weeks pregnant! They really wanted her to at least stick it out until she was 36 weeks, but the girls can't wait to be born! So if you can please say a quick prayer for her and the safe delivery of the twin girls (Addison, and Alexis) I'd greatly appreciate it! (o: Thanks! I'll post as soon as I know how everyone is doing!!

(PS this is especially scary since we are at the same stage in our pregnancies! So I can't imagine how scared she must be!)

PSS. Sorry if this post brings back bad memories! I keep thinking about that too! )o:
