Another tub shitter

Mason did it twice and now it's Cami's turn...the infamous tub shit.  The other night, Bill was in the bathroom and Cami was taking her bath and all of a sudden I hear "Here Daddy I have a nugget!" I walk into the bathroom just in time to see Cami literally handing Bill a huge turd! I let out a bit of a scream because I did NOT expect to see that at all! But then it quickly turned funny...Bill just said "Thank you" and flushed the turn down the toilet. Then Cami had to be removed from the tub and the bleach cleanup commenced. So funny yet so grosss....
I've been in a pretty good mood lately, I'm really finding it easier with my sister here compared with my parents. It sounds ungrateful, I know but thats not the case...without them we would have really struggled and I may have already had the baby. It's hard to really explain but I think anyone who has had parents living with them for more than a few days can relate to what I'm talking about...it was simply too long! 3 weeks with my mom and 1 week with my dad and now my sister is here for 1 week. But I could do with her here for another week if she was willing.  However she has to get back to the grind (or whatever she's doing)back in VA. It's ok though, I will go back to "light/limited duty" and try not to overexert myself.  Getting back to some sort of routine will be great for me.  I'll just take it easy and keep the housework to the bare minimum...if it's not really gross it can wait!  I can do one load of laundry a day so there wont be any heavy loads going up and down the stairs.  Taking Mase to school will go back to being my job and I honestly cant wait. I'm sure it will get old fast but for now Im really looking forward to the little commute.  BUT for now I sit on my ass until Monday then light/limited begins for 2 weeks and then I can do whatever the HELL I want after that. Whoo HOO!  I've started shopping for the baby, I got the stroller and carseat I wanted even though Bill put up a huge stink about it.  OH yeah, I showed him what I wanted and he flipped a lid because of the price tag. The stroller was 400 and the carseat turned out to be 125 on Ebay. My arguement was his spending 4000 on car parts last year only for the Cobra to STILL not run properly and it sat in the garage 10 months of the last 12!!! So I won and got what I wanted. Regardless, after going through 3 pregnancies/births and this one being so rough I deserve a really cool stroller to push around. Besides I'm going to use it everyday for the next 2 or 3 years! It will get our money's worth.  Now we have to put the nursery together (again) and buy a few more things like curtains and a diaper pail but the biggest purchase is out of the way.  Target will have everything else I need. Ahhhhh Target, can't wait to shop at Target. Online is ok but just grabbing that shopping cart and filling it up is such a satisfying feeling!   I never realized how much I enjoy shopping until it was taken away from me! lol!
On Monday, I started having contractions again. But this time I am armed with the Procardia Rx so I just took a pill and waited patiently to see if they stopped or if my water broke or whatever. I didnt call the doctor because I was afraid they would jump the gun and make me go to the hospital and spend the night on the damn monitors again. Anyway I took the pill around 3 or 4 and the contractions stopped by 6 or 7. I ate dinner, went to bed and got a good nights rest. I've been fine since. I do have to admit though, part of me just wanted to let it go and start walking around to just be done with all this craziness! I actually thought about it for a minute...if I just have this kid she will be well cared for by an excellent NICU staff and we can just get on with our lives....buuuuuuuuuuut then I came to my senses and took the damn pill. If I make it to 34 weeks I can deliver here in town but anytime before that we have to go up to Providence which is a 45/50 minute drive.
