Upcoming Belly Shots
A few of you have requested more belly shots recently. I promise I will post many of them but the next one is not coming until after Christmas or even after my next doctor's appointment which is January 8th. I really don't think I have changed that much since the last picture.
Maybe after all the food I will eat at Christmas there will be a big change. I promise to update belly shots throughout this pregnancy even if I gain a million pounds.

Too funny
I don't normally stay up long enough to watch Saturday Night Live but this Saturday I was able to catch a few skits with Justin Timberlake as the host. The first skit with him singing about Homelessville was hilarious but this video had me laughing so hard I about fell off the couch. I laughed so hard my stomach hurt. The Best Week Ever has the video so I am going to give you the link to it. If you need a good laugh here you go.

So the story goes
Boy, this month is getting away from me. There has been so much to do it has become too stressful. Here are a few updates from the week.
Tuesday I had my doctor's appointment. I have gained 3 pounds since the last appointment. I got to hear the heartbeat which took longer to find then I would have liked but there it was beating great. I have been having muscle cramps in me upper abs and the doctor said the more pregnancies you have the more common this happens. I guess I should have exercised before this baby. It hurts a lot especially after holding Little Cubby for a period of time. This pregnancy has been rougher on me then the other two. Exhaustion, aches and pains everywhere, hormones through the roof so I cry at everything and get pissed off easily, and a lot of stress right now. Aren't you glad you are reading this?
I talked about in the last post about Big Cubby being invited to a birthday party that takes place while he is in his extension class. Well, Hubby and I decided to keep him in the class instead of going to the party. Several reasons why and you get the pleasure of reading them.
1. We just got a note saying one of the teachers is leaving the school due to conflict in teaching philosophies. This is Big Cubby's favorite teacher. She co-teaches the class and she teaches the extension class. She also has two children in the class. Her little girl is Big Cubby's best friend. I am devastated she is leaving. Big Cubby does not like the other teacher. She is kind of a bitch. So, this would be the last extension class the teacher would be teaching and we wanted BC to have that.
2. I am pissed at the mom's who planned this party for today. You see there are two extension classes one on Wednesday and one on Friday. There are more kids in the Wednesday class then Friday. I felt that they were only thinking about themselves and not being considerate that there was another class. Couldn't they have had this party on Thursday when there was no school and everybody could have attended or how about a weekend? They expected the kids to skip this class. I am sorry but we pay an extra $50 for this to help BC get ready for Kindergarten and we don't get pro rated if we miss it. We don't have that kind of money to throw away like most of the parents at this school.
3. This party is so close to Christmas that would have been a strain to buy two presents for these kids. I can barely buy gifts for my kids and my niece. Hubby and I don't even buy each other anything. Things right now are really tight.
4. This goes with number three, Big Cubby doesn't even like one of the boys who the party is for. This kid is a bully and has pushed BC down and has done other stuff to him. BC is adamant about not being around this kid. The other boy that the co-party is for BC does like but not when he is around this other kid. So I don't want to waste getting a gift for a kid that BC doesn't even like. This probably not the right attitude but this is a big world and I am not going to make BC be friends with some that he is afraid of.
So, you see I have bitched and moaned. The mom's have probably talked about me behind my back but I don't really care. The majority of them I don't have anything in common with. I am punk rock in a preppie world and I am ok with that. I have always read about mommy cliches but never had to experience that living in the city but now here in the burbs it is a real thing. I thought just being a mommy was all you needed to be in the club but that isn't the case. I wasn't popular in school and I am not now.
That is ok because I have all of you blog friends in my life and we may be all over the US but I feel like you are right here with me. Thank you for all of your support and love. You guys ROCK!

New firsts for the boys
Last Wednesday Big Cubby had his first playdate. A mom came up to me when I dropped BC off for school and wanted my phone number because her son was wanting BC to come over to play. Then she said well I know this is short notice but I am having another little boy over today if BC wanted to come. She said I was also invited and she would make lunch.
So I swallowed my no because I am not good in these situations and said yes. So after school we went over and went fairly well. They have a dog which scared BC because of being bit before by a dog but after the dog was blocked off he had fun. Each little boy wanted to play with BC. Little Cubby wasn't too bad either. We were only there for about an hour and 15 mins. Now though I am going to have to host one as courtesy and I could tell it is really a big deal and exhausting. Since the pregnancy is really hitting me hard this time I am not looking forward to it.
Other news.
Little Cubby has figured out how to climb out of his crib. It has been a blessing that his legs are short that he couldn't do this before so we could put off teaching him to sleep in a regular bed. I think we will put the crib matteress on the floor and start with that until after Christmas then get him a big boy bed. I remember hating the process of getting Big Cubby to stay in his bed. I have been dreading Little Cubby doing this for a long time. I guess it has to happen sometime since a new little one will need the crib.
Big Cubby got an invitation to a birthday party on Friday for two of the little boys in his class. It is at a bowling alley and it is right after school. This will be the first one he has ever gone to. I am a little nervous about it but I think he should go. One problem though, Big Cubby does not like one of the little boys who is having the party. The kid is kind of a bully and has done a couple of things to Big Cubby. Luckily the teacher say this and has dealt with it. I don't know how is this is going to go. Just remember something. Big Cubby has extension class on Fridays and doesn't get out until 1pm so I don't think he can go since the party starts at 11:30am. We pay extra for this so I don't want him to miss school. We will see what happens.
Wish me luck.
