Wednesday May 23rd, 2007	schools out but not forever So I have a three week summer this year, because of having to take summer classes. Oh well, it'll be worth it when I graduate. So I've been living it up sitting outside, and making / altering clothes... Chris got me a diamond engagement ring for mothers day.  I always told him I didn't want one, then recently I realized I really do. So I'm supposed to pick it up tomorrow. I'm so excited!  Maybe he'll "officially" propose when he gives it to me (he asked me to marry him while I was driving :)  ) In any case he's such a sweety! Current Mood: bouncy

Monday March 12th, 2007	I can't win I feel like I'm drowning being pulled beneath. I feel like she wants to hold me under. ...and he's too tired to notice. I feel like I'm losing someone who's standing right there. What is wrong with her? This is not a competition. There is no winner, no loser in life. We make choices, I made mine and she made hers. But when she says things so belittling.... I wish he would step in and notice. Current Mood: depressed

Saturday December 2nd, 2006	We're not in Indiana anymore, Carolyn..... My god, last night was insane. Ok I was on the phone with Megan and the baby was walking around and all of a sudden I looked out the window and the sight I saw was horrific. I haven't seen that since we've lived out here. The sky was this black with yellow tinge color and there was debris flying all over the place, as well as the fact that the rain was pretty much horizontal. I couldn't believe my eyes....then weatherbug chirped at me, I turned around and it said Tornado Warning. Now I know a lot of people out here, those two words don't mean a whole lot, but where I grew up, in "tornado alley" you see/hear those words and you better freakin hunker down. I snatched up the baby, grabbed a flashlight and ran down to the basement. When I got off the phone with Megan I called Chris because he had gone to deposit $ and get gas in Mountain Top. He said all the power had gone out over there half-way through filling the tank so he was on his way home. He said there was stuff flying around everywhere. Well, laugh if you will but last night on the news it showed that what had happened was more than likely a tornado and it had touched down in Mountain Top, right where Chris was. It pretty much demolished a Mr.Z's and some houses, as well as uprooting a number of trees and blowing the roofs off of a school gym and dugouts. Today there's a crew going around to assess if it was in fact a tornado; all the weather reporters claim it was because you can see the rotating winds on the radar, the destruction it caused, and the fact that everyone said it sounded like a train before it hit. OOOOO that reminds me of a documentary that came out when I was younger...It Sounded Like A Freight Train. Everyone should see that movie, it's amazing. When I was growing up my profession of choice, what I said I always wanted to be, was an environmental scientist, chasing tornados. When Twister came out it only furthered this fascination and showed it was possible. Hehehe. I still would love to do that someday... Well I just thought I would share the excitement that was last night. Current Mood: amused

Friday March 17th, 2006	Yay, today was my 5 week check up and I was given the "green light" to go ahead with my normal routine. Woo hoo. Sorry if it's TMI but I'm very happy about no more pent up sexual agression. Though it wasn't a pleasant thought what with all the stitches and an 8 lb baby coming out and all. Ok. Anyway, Elijah-Paul is doing just swell. We both wore green today ofcourse....because in this family if you don't..... you get pinched. He looks so adorable, I will take pictures and post them tomorrow. He's wearing this cute green jumpsuit and a pair of green, yellow and white booties that were mine when I was little. He looks too cute. Last week we asked Marjie (romantic_horror)(my lil sister) to be his Godmother, she was overjoyed, as are we. I can not (nor could Chris) think of anyone we would rather have. She was the first person that came to our mind. At this point, he won't have a godfather, if we decide on someone before his baptism then that's cool but right now, we don't have anyone in mind. Speaking of which, his baptism is probably going to be at the beginning of May. This way everyone has time to plan, take off work, and it will be warm so us girlies can wear spring dresses. Well tonight we're having Corned Beef and Cabbage for dinner and right now my mom is making shepherd's pie for lunch so I better go help, oh yeah and there'll be beer.

Monday February 6th, 2006	wow So tomorrow is the due date.....where the heck is the little guy....oh that's right, still in my belly. He's smart I'll give him that, he's got it made in there I wouldn't want to leave either, it's freezing out here. This morning I am calling the doctor to try to get an appointment today because I have had contractions off and on for the last 3 days and two false alarm trips to the hospital. The first trip the doctor was not our favorite, and on top of the fact that he didn't know anything about me, even how far along I am, he prescribed me Macrobid, an antibiotic for bladder infections that cause you to have contractions and false labor. Here's the clencher about that....I don't have a bladder infection! They had my urine, they tested it, I'm fine, AND when I looked up the antibiotic on the Rx list on Drugs.com this morning it says it is only safe for pregnant women who are not full term to take. Luckily, I had not yet taken it, thank god. What was that doctor thinking??? Both doctors that were on call when I went in, neither one knew anything about me, they didn't even know how far along I was, the second one asked me before he sent me home "how many weeks are you?" to which I coldly responded "I'm due tuesday...." It was like they hadn't even read my chart. At the beginning of the pregnancy I thought it best if we not have a set OB so that if we went into labor and they weren't there we would still know the doctor on call. Well as it has turned out I couldn't have made a bigger mistake because not only do I still not know all the doctors, there are only two of them that really know me and whats been going on with me, also every time we go in I have to re-explain everything and answer all the same questions, because half the time it's someone I've never met before. Chris and I decided next time we are definitely requesting one specific doctor for the whole pregnancy/birth, and we know which one too, if we're still living in this area at that point.

Sunday January 29th, 2006	So, they didn't induce. It was still high when I went in, so they had me lay on my side for a bit and took it again. After laying on my side it was fine, so they said they were having some lab work done and I should just stay on my side as much as possible for the rest of the pregnancy....groovy. I dred going to bed at night because of how horrible I sleep. I can't sleep for more than two hours straight without waking up at least once. Last night I sat straight up at 2 a.m. because my stomach itched so bad it was everything I could do not to scream. Chris woke up instantly and grabbed the cocoa butter lotion, which helped greatly but still, then it was so hard trying to go back to sleep. oh well, he'll be here soon, and then at least I'll be waking up to him instead of waking up to being so uncomfortable. His nursery is so perfect, it looks like something out of a magazine. I love it. Current Mood: awake

Friday January 27th, 2006	well.... ok so the other day at my check up, everything was normal except my blood pressure was high than it normally is (it's usually very low). So they said to be safe they were having me come back friday (today). Last night at choir my mom was talking to the other ladies in the choir and the one said her daughter had high blood pressure toward the end of both of her pregnancies and they induced her both times. The other lady my mom seperately and she said "Oh so will they induce? That's what they normally do" Now, I don't care too much if they induce, if they feel that's whats right, I am 39 weeks. But also I've been doing everything I can the last two days to keep my blood pressure down, I've only left the couch a couple times, haven't done anything strenuous, eaten nothing fatty or with salt, drank plenty of water, eaten plenty of fruit. So maybe today they will tell me everything is fine. Either way I am not going to bring up the inducing, that's up to them; if my blood pressure is still a little high and that's how they deal with it then they can bring it up. Other than that, today we're returning the defunct changing table that cost me $95 and all that craziness at target. It fell apart when we were putting it together.... and they wanted me to put my baby on that....psh. My step dad instead is building me one which is going to be much prettier and sturdier, I'm so lucky to have him and my mom around. There I am trying to put together the stupid flimsy changing table and it kept falling apart, chris wasn't here at that time to help, so, at the end of my rope I called my mom, when she was helping me and it was continuing to fall to pieces I started sobbing at which point she called my step dad in and he totally took charge of the situation. He measured the different parts and held swatches up to match the color of wood, the next day he brought home the wood and now it's nearly done. Well I will either write soon saying it wasn't time yet, or I won't be on for a few days if they do induce. Current Mood: busy

Friday January 20th, 2006	great.... This is great.... I was nervous about this weekend, because here I am nine months pregnant, my parents are outta town for the weekend and chris has to work. Which leaves me with no car and only his cell as a way to reach him if something starts to happen. He called me when he got done with work, at 3:30 and said he was stopping at his mom's to pick up the tools he left there, just stopping there though and was gonna check to make sure they were all there and then he'd be home. Well 5 rolled around and no chris so I call his mom's; my sister in law said he had to go get a part for his mom's car, but should be back soon. So I called his cell phone and was really upset cause here I am, alone, with no car and....I don't even know; I'm just so upset. Now he's on his way home, I just got off the phone with him and I know this isn't true but it is something like this that makes me feel like I'm really not a priority, like I'm the low man on the pole. I know that isn't really how it is, and it's not like I'm asking to be more important....but what if something happened? I don't know........ Current Mood: melancholy

Friday January 13th, 2006	hope its today Friday the 13th..... Only happens every once and a while and I think it'd be wicked spiffy for the baby to be born today. So far though just a few braxton hicks this morning. I have so many bills to take care of today...major bummer. Chris got called in to work tomorrow, which is great cause we need the money while I'm outa work but sucks at the same time because we had plans for tomorrow. Oh well though, it's not the end of the world, we moved our plans to sunday and who knows if we'll even be able to do anything sunday....maybe we'll be in the hospital :))) I had another check up yesterday, they've been doing them weekly now. Everything was fine which was great. My group B strep screen came back negative (hooray) and his heartbeat was very strong and clear. Also my belly measured 38" which is exactly on track since I'm 38 weeks. I've loved being pregnant....it's had it's very uncomfortable moments, but still I wouldn't have traded a second of it. Now though I just can't wait to have the little guy with us, we're both so excited. Especially Chris, the last thing we really needed for the nursery was the changing table and so we picked that up yesterday after our appointment, we were walking it through the store to the register in the cart and he just looked so proud...of me and the changing table hehehe. Oh and, you know how whenever you buy something at a chain store they ask you if you want to apply for their card? Well generally I'm the person who always says "No thank you" because I don't want the hassle; however yesterday our total came to $105 (which I had gift cards to cover), the lady asked if we wanted a target card and just as I was about to spout out the quick no she caught me with "You'll save 10% on today's purchase, which would be $11". Now anyone that knows me, knows what an insane bargain shopper I am; if there's a bargain...anywhere....I will spot it. So when she said that and I thought: That would make it less than $100.....I said "sure". Now she didn't tell me it was a 'Target Visa', I already have a credit card and one is good for me, because another little fact about me is though I'm a bargain shopper, I also LOVE to shop. Anyhow, the cashier walks us over to customer service to complete this whole business, the customer service girl does her thing and hands me the stuff and says "Then you can go ahead and send the $95 to the visa company, or come back here and pay it". I hesitated.....looked down at my hand which this entire time had been clutching my gift cards and said "So can I do that with gift cards?" To which she of course responded "no". Now there was already a line behind me, I could feel myself blushing, and I was sick of being in Target, so I was a bit upset. She said "If I void it and you pay with gift cards then you won't get the 10%" I was like "that's fine I planned on paying for it with the gift cards at the full amount in the first place, I just didn't realize this was a credit card and I would really prefer not to have to pay $100 to a credit card company". So with the line getting longer by the minute, she voided it out and re-rang it up and used the gift cards. I did not make eye contact with a soul as we were leaving....I was so embarrassed. Chris kept saying "it's not your fault, no one cared, she pulled you in with the line, no big deal" but I felt like a real dork. Current Mood: busy

Thursday January 5th, 2006	so I went for my check up yesterday, and they did the strep screen and an exam. From the exam she was able to tell me that I am not dilated yet but he's in position, she could feel his head. That's what all the contractions were about. Also she was able to tell me that he's around five pounds, skinny little guy. Ofcourse he'll gain the most in the next couple weeks, which is all that I have left thank god.

Tuesday January 3rd, 2006	oh my god, I am so ready for this baby to be born. I've had contractions off and on for the last two days, and they get no closer together than 40 minutes. My regular check up is tomorrow so if I don't go in before then, they'll probably do an exam. I woke up this morning to find that the cats had ripped open a little bottle of treats and my cat was, in a very pathetic way, crying for water. I made my myspace all pretty last night, so anyone who hasn't checked it out.....check it out. http://www.myspace.com/catalyn_blue_carebear New Years was a bust, that's when the bracks n hicks (sp?) started so we watched the ball drop and went to bed soon after.
