It's 4pm and my contractions have started up again, except I know its not proper labour. This happened last time too. I am sick of them already. Last time this happened for 2 weeks before I went into proper labour. I hope it does not last that long this time.
DH just told me that he wanted to schedule a maternity session as a birthday gift. I have been feeling really self conscious lately, especially since my skin is so bad, and don't think I want to do it because I might just get upset if he spends a lot of money on pictures that I hate. I guess I have to think about it a while longer. I think I might say to save the money and do newborn pictures instead.

H is at a friend's bachelor party all night so I have the place to myself! I'm doing laundry and playing video games, haha. Wish I could have a bottle of wine to myself tonight! Oh well
the weather is sooooo nice here (low 70's!) that H, C, and I went to the zoo for a couple hours this morning. then lunch, then to whole foods to pick up dinner ingredients.
got home, C took a nap (yay!), so i ran out to buy, buy baby to return some stuff. i got my k'tan! and picked up some bath toys for C.
now H and C are playing outside, i'm watching Gilmore Girls. guess i better go bring them inside so we can start making dinner.

I forgot to mention that my mom is the queen of getting me free/cheap baby stuff! Her coworkers are always giving stuff away. One gave my mom a baby carrier! It's the Evenflo Snugli or something like that. Not the recalled one from what I can tell. I will have to do more research on it but hey, it beats paying over $100 for one even if it's not the one I was going to register for! They also gave my mom a pack n play, but it doesn't have the bassinet insert like my mom wanted. So she's still deciding on it. But I just love her coworkers for offering so many things!
SO today was maybe the hottest day of the year. I miss the cooler days of August, lol. 98 degrees and 10,000% humidity the AC could not keep up! But after a few massive thunder storms the high temps broke so maybe I can enjoy some nice September weather soon.
I had my shower today and it was fun and now my dining room is packed with baby things. I can't wait to have the nursery done so I can start putting things into the room. Walls are dry-walled and painted, ceiling is up finally so all we need is a floor now, which is going in on Tuesday.
I also think I'm getting that third tri nausea. I have not felt well in the past few days and eating makes me feel worse. I'm starting to get really queezey at night and nothing seems to help. I'm hoping it doesn't get as bad as first tri was.
I thought I had found cute maternity pants today, but the pants material ended halfway up my butt and then the band began. It was very awkward feeling so they're going back. Boo. I could really use some comfier pants.

YES they're all so low-rise!! Which, I mean I get it for the front. But hi, I still need denim covering my whole ass. Thanks.
I HATE how low they are in the front!! I feel like I have to wear super long shirts to make sure it doesn't show!
