Friday Randoms

I finally watched Friday Night Lights (the show) and I absolutely loved it! I watched it over the course of the last 8 days and just watched the finale last night. I bawled my eyes out the entire last 1/2 hour of the show. Now, I am dying to talk about the show with other people who loved it just as much as I did, but since it's a couple years old, I'm sure it's old news by now.

I must be crazy. I made a card to send in to the Sprout television channel for Spencer's birthday. I went all out on this card...I spent over $50 on supplies to make it! It took about 8 hours of intensive labor to construct it. If it doesn't make it on TV, I might just lose my mind (if I haven't already). Tongue Tied

On a side note, I had no idea how crafty I am!

I've always wanted to do that but never had the motivation! I hope your card makes the show. What day will it be on?

Thanks! If it makes the cut, it will be on February 25. Thankfully we have a DVR since it's a Monday.

I hope it makes it on there!

Thanks for the kind words, Erin. I really thought I had gotten over it, but it's really been creeping back in the last week or so. Again, it could just be b/c I'm exhausted and overly emotional (and I may have watched the Snooki Jwow episode where Snooki gave birth).

In re: to Pinterest - yes, it's really a self-esteem killing, guilt causing tool for me, lol.

*Coming in late to the Randoms Party*

I joined Pinterest last summer but only started perusing it last week. I also fall into the feeling inadequate category, but I'm using it for recipes right now and I've tried 4-5 new recipes in the past week; it's great! I'm going to use it for holiday crafts now, too. I think the key for me, at the moment, is staying away from party planning!

"Hello!" to the new "lurker" PC!

Happy Birthday Wesley!

Have fun shopping tomorrow, Beth! Congrats Amber on having good muscles fdown there. LOL

My random is that I had a meltdown yesterday and I'm stressed with some decisions that I need to make. I think this all is stemming from the fact that I'm actually enjoying my long maternity leave and while I do want to go back to work, I wish I could do it on a part-time basis. Just not feasible at this time, though.

Conall is on the verge of 3 and I'm about ready to stick him on the deck for the night! I hate this age.

And I absolutely hate this weather. I can usually stay positive about it until February hits and then I'm miserable until April.

Ok - I guess thie was more venting than randoms! Well, TGIF!

I guess it's b/c G is almost a year old and I'm remember being pregnant and giving birth, but I'm starting to feel sad again about what a horrible and different experience I went through. It makes me sad that I could not hold him for several hours after birth I feel like the moment they put the baby on your chest is a very precious moment that 99% of other moms have and I was robbed.
Blah.

I felt the same way for a long time after having Jake. I guess I had this whole vision in my head, and when the birth went the exact opposite way, I was disappointed and in some irrational way, disappointed in myself (even though it wasn't my fault at all, and deep down I know that, but still) the fact that I don't really have much recollection of Jake's birth is extremely sad to me. With Liam, I remember it all since I didn't have pre-e, but I still didn't get to experience him being put on my chest when he came out. But strangely enough, I was more ok with that happening...maybe because they warned me ahead of time with him, hours before delivery....I knew there was a very slim chance that they would be able to do that for me. The doctor said he would do what he could, but that it was doubtful. Brian was able to cut his cord (which didn't happen with Jake) so that made it a bit better.

I just wanted to tell you that you're not alone in your thoughts. *hugs*

Thanks, Emmy. That's exactly how I feel/felt - it went the opposite of the way I expected and I even tried to talk myself out of "expectations" in the weeks leading up to his birth. In hindsight, I probably should have had a c - given all the complications. I think my recovery and post-partum experiecne would have been very different. I'm not

Casey didn't get to cut the cord either, which was heartbreaking for him. I just have to remind myself that in the long run, he's wonderful, beautiful, and exactly what I always wanted It's just hard some days.
