We took my boys to the mall last night for the safe trick or treating. I managed to get through half of the mall before we had to call it quits due to contractions. My oldest was upset we had to stop early, but once he realized his treat bag was half full, he was ok with leaving early. He must have realized I was in pain once we got home, because he snuggled up next to me on the couch and gave me one of his snickers bars to "help me feel better." It was so sweet. I then watched more Ghost Adventures with my feet up until I went to bed. I'm attaching a picture of my boys from last night. My oldest dressed as Bumblebee and my youngest was an Elephant. Because our oldest wanted us to dress up with him, my husband went as a Viking and I went as the TARDIS with the Doctor riding along. (I got so many comments on the TARDIS actually being bigger on the inside with numerous attempts to rub my belly. I actually growled at one lady who just would not take NO for an answer.)
As for this morning, the kids are WAY to hyper for a Sunday morning and they haven't had any candy what so ever. =/ They're both sitting on the couch right now, watching Toy Story, and acting all crazy like, but they're so cute and are keeping it contained to the couch. As long as they are occupied, I am going to redo the hospital bag for me and my husband and get them packed up as much as I can for while they are at my MIL's. I am losing HUGE chunks of my plug this morning (TMI, sorry). Like big enough chunks that I can feel them sliding out. It's grossing me out, but this late in the game I am not taking any chances. I'd rather be prepared and ready for go time and not need to be than not ready and need to be. We're also picking up the swing when my husband gets off work and getting it set up tonight. That's pretty much the only thing we need to do to prep for Valerie. I am so anxious to have her in my arms already, as I am over being pregnant. I have tried to enjoy it since this is my last pregnancy, but I am done. I am ready to walk without pain, get up without assistance, and just be myself again. I've started to think that maybe getting pregnant back to back was not the brightest idea I ever had, as it has taken quite a toll on my body, but I wouldn't change it for anything. My children are the light of my life and the fact that they lived within my body is my greatest blessing.

 | Comment from Cattsmeow » Posted Nov. 2, 2015 6:26am Amanda, my labor and delivery with my oldest son was horrific and I never wanted to have a repeat...until I met my husband. lol. We were only going to have 1 more when we got married, but we both wanted to try for a girl. Although if this one had been another boy, we would have still decided to not have anymore. We figure in a few years when we are in a better financial situation and have a bigger house, we will foster or adopt, and we decided if we do that, we would want to foster/adopt an older child. I love being pregnant, but I am totally done. thomasanddawn, Thank you! I think my kids are pretty adorable to, but then again, I am certainly biased. lmao |
 | Comment from Amanda_McDaniel » Posted Nov. 2, 2015 5:53am I always wanted three until I actually started growing them. *Chuckle* After a rough delivery with my first, it took me five years to decide to do it again and, now that I have one of each, I'm totally fine with stopping. I admire people who love being pregnant and filling up their house... I'm just not one of them. |

| Comment from Cattsmeow » Posted Nov. 1, 2015 11:15am I am getting my tubes tied after Valerie is born. I don't think my body could handle another pregnancy. Plus, 3 is more than enough children for us. This pregnancy has been torture on my body, so I'm done. lol. And I will be happy once I have everything ready. I've almost got the bags all packed, and the rest is small stuff. I just think that once I have it all done, it'll be one less thing to worry about until we bring her home. At my last appointment, my doctor seemed to think I could go into labor at anytime and I do not want to be rushing around at the last minute. I kinda wish I had been this prepared when my boys were born. |
| Comment from Kitten90 » Posted Nov. 1, 2015 11:06am I initially wanted to have 3 kids but I don't think I can do this again after having these two back to back. =( my fiance and I agreed to not make any permanent decisions for 3 more years but right now we are both thinking 2 kids is a good number lol. The pain has been unreal! Sounds like a good idea that your getting everything ready, my goal is to be ready during week 36 as well. Especially with the early contractions and stuff. |
