Had my check up yesterday and I've gained a pound and a half since last week! Just sitting here is really going to do a number on my weight gain. Not happy about that and maybe it's selfish sounding but at my age it's going to be so much harder to shed the pounds compared to just 3 years ago when I had Cami. I've already gained 25 pounds and still (hopefully) have 13 more weeks to go. I really don't think I'll make it to 40 weeks but regardless I had only gained 25lbs by week 34 with Cami, I'm already way ahead of that. Sheesh. Oh well, I suppose with 3 kids and the breastfeeding it will all come off at some point. I gained nearly 40lbs with Mase and I got rid of that weight, but there again, I was 5 years younger! Ugh. Anyway what's really important is this baby getting bigger and that so far has been going well. I'm out of the super uber scary point of delivering a baby that "might" make it so from here on out she'll just keep gaining weight and continue to develop her lungs. The steroids they gave me in the hospital two week ago will def make a difference just in case I go into labor early and they can't stop it. Obviously I dont want to have her before 32 weeks but I feel so much better just being in the third trimester.
Bill is doing a great job around here! It was a bit of an adjustment for about a few days but he's settled into his role of Dad and Mom even though its only for another 5 days. He's got the cleaning routine down and the kids routine perfected. He totally gets how annoying housework is with the kids mucking up each thing I just cleaned. He now realizes that I don't spend all day doing nothing...the minute he sits down one of the kids gets into something naughty or someone is crying or needs his/her butt wiped. He officially said "babe, I dont know how you do it!" LOLOLOL!! Now my hope is my mom sliding into the same routine without the kids turning into total brats. They morph into rotten kids when my parents are around...that's fine considering mom and dad are usually here only for a few days at a time but my mom is going to be here for 3 weeks and my dad 1 week and they really need to crack down on the discipline when my kids get out of line. Normally they find their naughty behavior funny because its "my turn" to deal with bratty behavior just like they dealt with me all those years. I've made a schedule for my parents to follow so it shouldn't be too hard. If the kids misbehave they go right to Time-Out with no bargaining. I dont think my parents are idiots, and I know they love the kids but they have slid right into the "proper role" of grandparents: spoil the crap out of them and let me and Bill deal with the aftermath of said spoiling!
