so...Happy st. Patrick's Day!
so i went to the hospital monday to make sure everything is still ok with Madison since she's decided that she REALLY wants to take her time meeting me. anyway...everything is fine and she's basically just being stubborn. good news (minus the stubborn part). i go to the hospital thurs and fri for these injections to help me go into labor on my own (with help from this "medicine" stuff---i'm gonna keep it 'g' rated for the guys reading this; ladies, i'm sure u already understand what i'm talking about). hopefully that will work because honestly i'm getting so frustrated. Chelsea...i don't know how you did it being on bedrest...i've been out of work since March 7th and i'm going crazy. i have NOTHING to do...all of my baby's stuff is ready to go. there's only so much cleaning i can do before my feet hurt and there's only so much on tv before i go crazy and there is only so much time i can try to sleep. SO its looking like i'm going to be out of work for 8 weeks instead of 6---thanks Madison---i know i needed the vacation but honestly...help your mother out! AND if nothing happens after this weekend i go in to L&M at 7:30 am for them to induce me. at present date, she is 9 days late...i don't know if i can take another 5 days. i know i've made it this far but i'm going crazy. everyday that passes, i'm slightly less sane. on top of the daily phone calls of whether or not i've had my kid yet. i'm pretty sure that if we're good enough of friends that you have my phone number, you know someone who will surely inform you of when it happens...if i don't myself. my favorite was when i went into friendly's on sun for a quick bite with my mom and sis while we were out and everyone, i mean everyone said "you haven't had your baby yet?". i mean really, what gave it away; a)the waddling, b)the basketball i have under my shirt, c)the fact that i'm not carrying around a baby. you choose from the above options.
I love all of you for your support and even though i complained up there about the phone calls...its nice to know you all care and are waiting right there with you---its better than not getting calls from the friends who used to. i'm just trying to stay positive that i only have to wait a maximum of 5 days before i'm in labor (the amount of time it will take for me to have her is another story i know!) i just can't wait until i'm recovered enough to have a nice, stiff drink at the bar with my friends because i'm finally legal! liquor me up and let me waste my money in the casinos! Mattie---you have to be around when i do this because i haven't seen u or talked to you in forever...i hope you miss me like i miss you! same with you Michelle...haven't seen ya in forever---stay silly and keep your chin up! i love you! Carissa...we will get together...and have a mommy day...it stinks that its taking us so long---when Madison is here we'll do it a lot more often so Arianna can teach her all she knows about being a cute little girl! Jared...thanks for the call sat, it meant a lot. i miss not seeing you and i hope everything is going well for u. can't wait to see ya again! Carroll---i know you don't read these anymore but thanks for calling every now and then...its nice to hear your voice; to know that there is still someone out there who's crazy like me! Alisha---don't forget about me...i know you have a lot going on but so do i. i can still be here for u...if u want me to be. Adam, Brad, Cheney, Dave, Amy, and all you other crazys that i know i'm forgetting---stay crazy---i need that when i'm back out in the real world...i need something to distract me from dirty diapers and bottles.
i think thats about it. hopefully the next time you hear from me it will be to show off my beautiful daughter! (keep your fingers crossed PLEASE)
Dreams and Wishes,
Rachel and (the pending arrival of) Madison
