HORRIBLE..HORRIBLE..HORRIBLE NIGHT!!!!!!!& - Did I say HORRIBLE YET?


Boys r us wrote: Tanner had his football awards banquet tonight at a 50's type restaurant called The Fried Pickle. I thought it was kind of odd it was there b/c this place is set up like a small 50's diner/soda shop, some tables...a bar area with bar stools, like the peach pit on 90210! not a lot of room when you're talking about 20 kids and their parents and little brothers and sisters!
So this afternoon I went to get ready and my favorite maternity top didn't fit..well it fit but let's just say IT DIDN'T LOOK GOOD! So I changed into something a little less form fitting and a little more TENT-LIKE!

Anyhow, we got there...NOWHERE TO SIT! NOWHERE! and I swear, chivalry is obviously DEAD..at least in my town...not one FREAKING person offered me a place to sit! This place was WAY to small to have 60+ people in it and expect everyone to have room to sit down and eat dinner. So we ordered Tanner dinner and Rick and I decided after they did the awards that he, Braedon and I would get a pizza at the little place next door. While we were standing there, I was talking to some of the other parents and I turned around and I saw Rick looking at me...like AT MY STOMACH! I said, "what are you looking at?" and he said,"your belly has really grown in the last week" I know he didn't mean anything bad by it..but dang it..I was already having a bad night and him saying that didn't help AT ALL. So now I have a complex...and all of a sudden felt disgustingly huge. Not to mention I was getting really aggitated after STANDING UP for an hour and a half! So then, 1 of the moms of Tanner's good friend said she would keep an eye on him while they ate cake and played pinball and we could go ahead and go next door..so we did(this was after the trophy ceramony etc).
We get next door and obviously I'm already a little peeved and Rick says, "Booth or a table?" I say Booth. OMG..MISTAKE! We sat down and my stomach was rubbing the table..squished. I seriously almost started crying! I know it's not THAT big of a deal...but how much can a girl handle in 1 evening? I've outgrown my maternity shirt, my husband tells me how fat my stomach is getting and I can't even fit in a BOOTH! I am not kidding when I say that I almost had to go to the bathroom b/c I was holding back tears something fierce!
At this point, I didn't even want to eat! All I could think about was going home,LOCKING MYSELF IN MY BATHROOM and taking a bath in the hot tub! Got home finally and make a BEE LINE to the bathroom and cut the water on and go back in the bedroom to get some PJ's to take in the bathroom. Go back in the bathroom and dip my foot in the water to check out the temp....IT WAS COLD! I MEAN ICE COLD!!!!!!!!!!! Apparently our hot water heater element went out and it can't be fixed until Lowe's is open in the morning to get the part! So..I sat on the toilet and cried for a few minutes...didn't help! Still feel miserable and not sure how much more I can take. I don't think my DH understands how bad off I'm feeling right now. He of course thought nothing of the fact that I couldn't fit in the booth and would think I was silly for being upset over something like that. The only POSSIBLE good thing I can say about tonight is that, when I was crying on the toilet, I wiped and there was a spot of blood..I'm praying for more. Hoping this is a good sign that labor is on it's way. Maybe..just MAYBE is God hearing my prayers and realizing that I can't take anymore of this?!?! I really hope I go into labor, at least I'll have somewhere to focus all of this pent up negativity.. I can push it out of my body with the pain of contractions!

JanetH replied: oh you poor thing. YOu really had a rough day. Well just try to remind yourself that when this is all over you are going to be holding that beautiful baby girl that you have been longing for. The raging hormones don't help much either though. Hugs!

jcc64 replied: You're exhibiting the classic signs of early early labor- the "I-absolutely-can't-take-another-second-of-being-pg" syndrome is definitely one of the first signs that the end is truly in sight. Hang in there, baby, she's coming....

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: Hang in there sweetie...aren't you going in tomorrow? Or is it tonight?? woohoo.gif
