pregnancy & text buddy- aug 2010

[dizzy65]

haha ya my ex was a big guy and he was a tool and im glad to be rid of him. he used to keep e-mailing me asking me back, iwas just like pfft no thanks thats okay considering you left me broken.. So OH really wants to hurt him but i wont let him haha.

we try not to use swears around my mom but my mom cant really control what my dad does my dad he swears but he doesnt do it lots just sometimes when he forgets and lets it slip. But its worse now because my sister and i are older so its like he figures that he doesnt have to be so careful as there are no infants around that will copy what he says . Which is under standable. He used toswear lots so ive been told before my sister and i were born but stoped when we were little... it doesnt botherme that much, we defantly dont say any bad swears around grandma thou that would be the last thing we would want to do.

Yes thats all you really gotta focus on right now is graduating and baby the rest will all come in time

I know what you mean, ever convorsation i have with any one now the center of attention is baby, thats all they can talk about they have so many questions. its like me and my problems arent there its all about baby noww. and thats how its going to be for the rest of our lives thou. The center of ever conversation is the pregnancy and the baby its funny how that just happened i never thought it would get like this. its kind of amusing tho

 

[QueSeraSera]

haha...yea what a douche, thinking you would take him back after he did that to you. and now you have your OH and you guys are happy and having a baby. seems like everything worked out for the better for you in the end

haha...thats how my dad is too. it seems like when he was little he watched his tongue a lot more, but now that were older they words slip through more. but hes still pretty good around my mom because he knows how much she doesnt like it. my grandma is the same way! i thought my mom was bad, but my grandma is way way worse. we dont let any bad words come out when shes around

haha...i know i really need to focus on my thesis, but i would so much rather be reading about interesting stuff...like fetal development and pregnancy! you can definitely tell where my interests lie at the moment...

yea the conversations from now until the rest of our lives are gonna be about the kids first and us later. but its pretty cool actually...im ready to be a mommy and have everything be about my kids. so sooo excited for the big day, when i can start talking like "oh its soo funny, youll never guess what the baby did the other day..." and "oh the baby is growing so fast, you should see how..." and all of that fun stuff!

 

[dizzy65]

yes it sure did.. i guess everyone has to have there duds before they get the one they are supposed to be with.. and i dont think my ex will want me now seens how im having a baby and in a few months i wont be able to see my feet! haha, its a great way to get him to lay off a bit.. he is such a tool haha.

Thats like with my grandma we dont say anything bad around her it is an insult to her if you swear in front of her and your lucky not to get back handed if you swear around her haha she is really old fashion. Kids and younger generations need to respect there elders really. And i totally get that.. its like with my baby i wouldnt want them to swear at me and i would like them to respect me, the way it should be. its just like with your teachers and people in authority you have to respect them..

Haha yeah no doubt. Its hard to focus on school work and all that fun stuff when your mind is like this ... baby, baby, baby, sleep, food, bathroom, baby hahaha .. but you will get threw it and then after all your energy can be focused on baby and how big it is and the fetal developement and all that fun stuff

Thats the same with me too i cant wait to be the proud mom and for all my convos to be about baby and say stuff like. "omg baby took its first step yesterday" and stuff like that. im so goina be a really proud mom and i already love talking about baby so much it makes me feel happy when i can refer to it as baby and stuff and then in like a month i can talk like "omg i felt the baby kick the other day" and stuff like that and im really excited to start to feel the baby and be able to talk about it

 

[QueSeraSera]

oh i know all about that! i had my fair share of duds before i met mu DH. its a normal process we all have to go through. but the big things like marriage and babies usually has a good chance of making them not call and all that stuff anymore!

i completely agree about the respecting your elders thing. i think in todays society though a lot of people, especailly like younger people, dont get that. they just thing they are the best thing out there and they can do what they want and they dont think about other people. its really sad to see kids like that today. i makes me even more certain that im going to do everything possible to make sure my kid gets raised with good morals and values. definitely do not want to raise some punk kid who thinks that they can just do whatever they want! lol

ahhh its so true! when im supposed to be writing im always thinking about the baby instead and being like "oh i should look this up" and "oh i wonder what this means, ket me check it out..." and trying to do anything concerning the baby and nothing concerning my project. haha. but ill finish my project and graduate, im determined too. its just that right now im in the full on procrastination stage

i know its so exciting. i cant wait until the baby starts doing stuff and i can tell people about it. i am so excited to feel it kick for the first time. and a friend said that her daughter got hiccups all the time in the womb...that would be so funny to feel. but the even better part is when he/she actually arrives and we can tell our friends and families stories about the first smile, and the first steps, and the funny thing they did or said or whatever. im going to be one of those moms that talks about my kid nonstop...i already know it. and im okay with it! lol

on a related note, my husband has been out of town all week and ive been alone. but ive started kind of talking to the baby. weird probably, but i dont have anyone else to talk to. and its been kind of this cool bonding thing. i dont think they can hear our voices until like 20 weeks, so its kind of pointless really. but its sorta helping me have a bond with the little bean

 

[dizzy65]

thats for sure and i really hope he doesnt try and contact me any more that would be just a little bit creepy if he was like "ya i still think your hot" and all that stuff even thou im pregnant. ahh. but i dont think that will happen he will prob be liek "ew grose" and im ok with that as thats what i perfer him to say of me rather than wanting to be with me all the time haha.

I know what you mean for sure. i wont let my child be a "punk" either ... i wont let the kid make sum of the same mistakes i did. i know im going to be a really protective mom of those types of things. but it will be good. he/she will just have to live with it because it wont change haha. I will have respect from them thou i know that because i dont want them to grow up having no morals or any of that kind of stuff, some people teens my age and younger (me being 19) have no morals and no respect for any one it makes me sad how can they treat people like that really.. Ohh and another big one is manners i see so many people in the younger generation with no manners and it makes me sad. people not wanting to say there please's and thank yous..

I am going to be the same way about my kid and im totally fine with it.. i want to be one of those moms who has all those cute "you'll never guess what baby did today" stories and its going to be totally fun to talk to people about all of that. people may get annoyed and bored of me talking about baby all the time but hey thats what happens when you have a baby your life grows from it being all about you to having some one else that is way more important thats how i think any way. the baby comes before any thing else

thats so cute that youve been talking to baby; and you never know it may be able to hear your voice and get more knowing to you. ive been rubbing my belly non stop constantly looking at it in the mirror seeing it grow and form more and more each day. i was like woah i never thought it would be like this but baby bump is looking pretty cute haha. I never thought to talk to it thou. im goina ask the second tri people what it feels like when baby starts moving as ive had really weird feelings inside my tummy and i dont no what it is. and like i said before i might be further along then i think i am. its in my lower tummy, and its like my tummy is gurgiling but my tummy isnt gurgiling so im going to ask them what it feels like i would be the same with talking to baby if i was left alone from OH for a week ..

 

[QueSeraSera]

yea things like that are really annoying...some guys just dont know how to let go of the past. meh, who cares about him! now all that matters is you, your OH and the baby

it really is pretty ridiculous some of these younger kids these days. the other day i was walking into the store and i was a ways back from the door, there was this woman who must have been in her 80s and she was struggling with the door cause it was heavy. and these two teenage boys just go up to the other half of the door, swing it open and dont even offer to hold it for her. and she wasnt fast enough to get in before it closed so she had to wait until i got there to hold the door for her! things like that just make me wonder how some of these kids are being raised...i mean thats just simple, common curtesy!

i know im gonna be that mom too. and all of my friends are going to get so annoyed (they arent too big on kids, most of them...theyre still living the fun, crazy life) but i so dont care. i think the exact same way as you...now that theres another life that needs me, it is the most important thing over anything else

ahh thats so cool that you are feeling flutters i cant wait until a few more weeks along when that starts happening! its funny that you rub your tummy...i do the same only more just rest my hand on it. i do it without thinking but sometimes i notice im doing it...its funny, like a natural, protective, bonding action. so weird that we really start acting like moms even before the baby is born. the talking thing is cool cause its kept me company while my DH has been gone...its kinda like im not here alone, its just me and the baby hangin out. lol

 

[dizzy65]

yes exactly

woa thats friken rude.. seriously, how could you do something like that. Oh man i would be so pissed if i had seen that. I would of helped her if i seen her struggling and i was on the other side of the door. its like what if that was your gramma would you just stand there and watch as she was struggling with the door i know i sure as hell wouldnt. i think people like that its just ignorance. OH and i usually always try and help people and always hold the door for people. like Especially elderly people or people in wheel chair and stuff like that. its a lot harder for them to get around and do stuff like that. especially with a cart full of groceries. That just blows me away that some people can be so rude!!

most of my friends are like that too they are just wanting to have fun. some of my friends and even virgins still and all that so they dont get the joy of a new mom or a new parent over there baby really there just like "whats with her" and stuff like that.. they dont understand. they give me those kinds of looks like i shouldnt want to keep this baby. but my oppinion to that is pfft its not your life its mine and i already love baby and OH loves baby and nothing is going to seperate us

I totally get what you mean when im alone it feels like im not really alone it is kinda cool to feel flutters if that is really wat it is OH's brothers and me were playing cards the other night (skip-bo) and it was kind of funny OH's younger brother derek he accused OH of cheated and then OH's other brother Mike piped up "Hey Shannon is the one we have to look out for she has 2 brains behind her, and me and jason here i think we can muster up a brain between the both of us" haha it was so funny i was like "ya thats right there is 2 people over here"

 

[QueSeraSera]

aahh...i know! it was one of the worse things ive seen in awhile as far as kids having a complete lack of respect for their elders, or anyone for that matter. but i dont know, maybe its just worse here in hawaii...because it seems like even older people like in their late 20s and 30s are like that too. this is supposed to be the "land of aloha" where everyone is nice to everyone else and helps their fellow person...but that only happens in the tourist spots. in the rest of the areas, people are rude and just careless. thats part of the reason we are pretty ready to get out of here...only about 1.5 more years and then we can move somewhere else really, the only great thing about this place is the weather and the beaches, everything else is pretty bleh

yea most of my friends are a little older and in their mid 20s so most of them have serious boyfriends or husbands (but some are still playing the field) so theyre a little settled down that way...but even the married ones, they want to go out and party every weekend and drink all the time. they arent ready to give that up yet for a baby. for me it was different, as soon as i got married i couldnt do that stuff anymore anyway because of my stepson, so it was a much faster transition into the mommy stage for me. i can see why some of your friends dont understand if theyre still virgins and all...but it doesnt make it fair for them to judge you. its your body and your life, and if youre ready to have a baby then its your choice. thats the thing, everyone is on different paths...some people are ready to be a mom at 18 while others arent ready until theyre 35. people shouldnt be judged either way. it seems like pregnancy makes everyone have an opinion about it, when really they dont have the right to have an opinion at all about other peoples lives.

haha thats cute...the baby is helping you play skipbo! thats too funny that your OHs brother said that. but its so true, its just like now its not just us. everything i do now i always say "we are..." and "we did..." but its not like im consciously meaning to say we, its just that my subcoscious realizes that its not just me anymore, its me and the baby. its pretty cool really

 

[dizzy65]

ahh thats no good .. it gets really bad here too its just not all the time.. ive seen some of the same stuff happen . like People just walk by and laugh as the old people or "elderly" people are struggling with there bags and all that.. some times its even with pregnant people i cant believe it.. and some people they just dont care. i see it some times with older people too like people that are 30-40 not having any respect like that. But even my grandma when she sees people needing help she opens the door for them, and my grandma is 80 years old and she will stand there and hold the door for people. why cant other people be like that. i mean seriously!

I know its not fair how no one talks to you or what ever and then once your pregnant your the talk of everything and everyone judges you its really not fair and i dont no why its like that.. and then my so called friends they just judge me on the fact that i say im ready for all of this. they dont understand really. they never had the chance to decide if they want a baby.. Thats crazy your friends still wanting to go out partying i couldnt imagin that. my whole life is goina change cause of baby i know this but i dont care i want it to change if it means i get to keep my baby

I know i do the same thing when im talking to OH instead of saying i miss you its we miss you he has a good laugh about that. i even now say baby as a nother person the baby is already such a big part of who i am.. and such a big part of every conversation and everything.. I am like really excited to be in this position i love talking about it

 

[QueSeraSera]

that is awesome about your grandma! yea i seriously dont know what people are thinking these days. weve all just become so self centered and just dont care about anyone else. we all need to be like your grandma! i dont know how things changed...probably bad parenting and a lock of dicipline. im a firm believer in having rules for kids, and in my opinion too many people just want to be their kids friends instead of being a parent

thats pretty ridiculous about the people judging you. luckily, most everyone around me is a little more mature than that. they dont really judge, they just have different priorities right now so they have a hard time understand why i chose to get pregnant right now. the partying is just who they are, before i met my DH and ended up getting married i was quite the partier myself. we used to go out 3 or 4 times a week, staying out until 4am. lol...that was a different life. now im just happy with adding to my little family. for me now taking my stepson to the park is much more exciting than drinking and partying.

aww thats so cute.."we miss you" and its funny that your OH has a laugh about it, because my DH does the same when i talk about the plural...must be something about boys. probably because they arent actually carrying the baby they dont really understand the connection we have already. im so happy to be a girl right now...as much as periods and everything suck, its worth it for this. we are so lucky to get to bond with baby like this. boys miss out

 

[dizzy65]

I know what you mean i have the same opinion... some parents just dont care about diciplin and ive seen some parents that are like that. They have no rules letting there like 13 year olds stay out at all hours of the night. i will defantly have rules for bean as i dont want them to grown up like that. and i think in the long run the kids will be happy that there were times where you were strong enough to put your foot down and say thats enough. i know it will be tuff but i think we can do it. No matter how much it sucks for them, stucture is more important than being your kids best friends. if there is no structure they will just walk all over you

I used to be the same. I used to like to go out and stay out all night. but now my dream has changed and it doesnt revolve around me.. i think it is much more fun when the baby is old enough to see its face as it gets to go on a swing set for the first time or as it first feels grass on its bare feet. I think those things seem a lot more fun and exciting then the partying sceen.. i guess my opinion of "fun" has changed in the last little bit. Now that im pregnant all i can think about is all those little joys that a baby will bring and how much i cant wait for all my babies "firsts"

I totally agree. Boys totally miss out on being able to experiance what its like to carry bean in the tummy for 40 weeks... they dont understand what we mean when we talk in the plural as they dont seem to understand that there is more to it. and to us it already is part of the family. and to them its not real until they get to touch the baby.. ithink it was real for me when i first saw the pregnancy test and it will seem more real once i seen bean on the screan. but i already feel so attached, and thats something boys will never get as they dont get to carry and feel the baby move for those 40 weeks

 

[QueSeraSera]

ahh...i know! its so frustrating to see kids like that. i know this family and they have kids that must be around 15 and 18. the parents have always wanted to be their kids' friends instead of setting boundaries, and now the kids are getting into all sorts of trouble. its really sad because a little bit of disciplining would go a long way and a grounding every now and again when they were growing up could have helped them so much. but now the kids are getting into so much trouble. i mean, i rememberr growing up and hating curfew and rules and all that. but now, when i look back, im so glad that i had all of that because it really did keep me out of trouble and im really happy for that, and, i mean ive never had a kid (besides my stepson and the discipling of him is not really my area so much as my DHs and his exs) so i dont know how hard it is, but i think youre right...we can do it, and even though it may be hard we will just have to remind ourselves its for the best!

i know its crazy how quickly your perspective changes. ive been in my stepsons life since he was 7 months old, so i got to be a part of a lot of the firsts with him. but somehow it just feels like this is going to be different, maybe because im actually giving this child life. but i am so excited for all of those big moments. im learning to scrapbook so that i can document them all!

i think youre right, for the boys its the seeing the ultrasound or touching the baby for the first time that really sets it for them, they need the visual, tactile things. but for us, we can feel the changes and know the baby is setting up house for the next 9 months, and thats not something you can convey to a boy very easily. plus, with my DH, i think that this whole pregnancy thing isnt so new to him...hes done this whole routine before, so hes not as excited about it...hes more excited about when the baby actually gets here. oh well, ill just enjoy reading the weekly updates and searching through magazines for baby stuff on my own! me and the baby can totally be excited without him lol

 

[dizzy65]

Ahh thats no good. I know kids like that too. that there parents are just like "hay do what ever you want im not here to punish you and set up boundries" its like "then what are you therefor if not to put in rules your kids dont need a best friend they need a parent" and i totally agree with you, i hated curfew and being grounded when i was younger (i was grounded a lot) but now i look back on it, it was for my best, my parents just wanted me to be safe and happy and not getting into trouble. those parents that just want to be there kids friends are just shooting there self in the foot so to speak... they are creating a bigger problem for there self. There kids are the ones that will end up as prostitues or doing drugs or stuff that could be much worse than even those things. I Know what you mean i have never had to disciplin a baby of my own, (only when baby sitting but that doesnt really count) but i know that we have to be strong because if we let them get away with everything its only going to be worse for us, and in the long run they will thank us. It may take a while but they will at one point be happy for structure in there life for sure!

Thats a great idea! scrapbooking. I hoping OH gets me a video camera for my birthday so that i can take lots of videos of our babies first, stuff.. incase he isnt there for some of the babies firsts i can show him them. My OH works lots so there is chance he wont be there for sum of the firsts. But im super exciting.. im going to be one of those types of moms that takes tons of pics of the baby (i have a digital camera) so i can take tons and tons of pics at a time of baby its going to be awesome. i cant wait tell i can do that

I think its a boy thing not being that into it as much as girls are as my OH everytime i say lets go look at baby stuff he usually says "no you can go ill go over here" and stuff like that. But once baby actaully arrives he will be way more into it. i hope he is going to take some time off for when baby arrives i think hes planning on doing his vacation time around the time baby is due. its funny He gets out of School Aug 20th and Baby is due Aug 24th haha (well thats the guesstimated due date).. it was funny when he said that.

Oh by the way happy valentines day

 

[QueSeraSera]

exactly...its all better for the kids, and ourselves, in the end if your just have structure and rules. i know i wouldnt have gotten to college and through everything ive gone through if it werent for my parents bringing me up with some discipline

yea im not very good at the scrapbooking thing yet...ive only made like 3 pages so far. but they have this class on base and they give you all sorts of cool ideas about what you can do so i went to one of those. they have 2 every month...so im pretty sure ill keep going and hopefully by the time the baby is here, ill be decent at it. lol.

a video camera would be a very good present. we dont have one either, just our cameras do some video...but not very good quality. maybe ill ask for one for my graduation...thats a really important thing to have. my DH could get deployed and he randomly goes on trips for work for a week or two at a time. so im sure he will miss somethings and it would be good to get it on film for him. oh, i am ridiculous about pictures. i used to be really into photography and my DH runs a little photograph studio on the side as well...so between the two of us wee are going to have millions of pictures of the baby. we already have so many of my stepson. but its good to be able to go back and see how hes grown and all the fun things we did together.

my DH is the same. he will walk to the baby section with me, but he usually heads over to another section after only a couple minutes. they are silly sometimes. but oh well, that means ill get to make all the decisions about the decor and everything!

im making my DH save up his vacation for when the baby comes too. im hoping he will take a couple weeks off with me to help out and everything. my parents are going to be here too and then right after my parents leave his mom is going to come out. i dont get along with his mom at all, so im hoping that he will stay home when shes here to keep the peace between us. lol. but, all in all, should have quite a bit of help those first few weeks.

 

[dizzy65]

i totally agree, if there was no diciplin you wouldnt of wanted to go to university and finish and all that stuff.. I think with out disciplin i wouldnt be where i am today thats for sure and i defantly wouldnt be ready for a baby thats for sure.

Thats a really cool idea, i should do something like that. i used to do scrapbooking when i was younger in like Guides and Brownies and all that so we did lots of scrappbooking im not sure if i remember any of the stuff i learned thou it ws such a long time ago it would be good to get back into that kind of thing thou

I think a video camera is a good idea espcially as we dont want the guys to miss any thing important in there babies lives and if they start missing to much they will probably feel left out. Its going to be good if i can get a video camera to take lots of videos of bean. I also have a video thing on both my digital camera and my cell phone but they dont take very good videos either it will be good to have an actually camera that takes actaul videos

Haha yes must be a boys thing they are just not into the whole baby thing tell its born haha oh well i like lookin at baby stuff and it doesnt bother me to do it alone, Or i can just make OH do it with me haha..

It will be good if your parents can come for when baby is born my grandma and her husband are coming like 5-10 days after baby is here and they are goina help with the baby it will be good to have them down.. and my Mom is goina be in the hospital when baby comes (im not sure about my dad) but my mom wants to be there, and she said that she can help out as much as we need her. and OH's dad if he isnt working will probably be there. . Its going to be crazy for the first month or so of beans life.. but it will be all worth it we will need all the extra help we can get

 

[QueSeraSera]

seriously! if the discipline did anything, it gave me the will to finished this stupid thesis and graduate already!

yea i had done some basic scrapbooking when i was younger cause my aunt really enjoyed it and she was teaching me, but then i fell out of it. now its crazy this class i went to, the women there are nuts about scrapbooking. they have whole like suitcase things full of materials and gadgets and all sorts of stuff. i was a little out of my league...i just wanna make a basic scrapbook! lol

yea i just dont think the videos that my phone or digi takes are very good...i want one of those video cameras that records straight to dvds then you can just burn copies and send them to the grandparents and stuff.

yea, i dont mind looking at the baby stuff by myself. or dragging a girlfriend along. or just forcing DH against his will!

oh wow it sounds like you will be having a lot of help right after the baby gets here too. i think were going to be needing it, especially like the week after. im sure we will be so worn out from labor and all that we will need all the help we can get!

 

[dizzy65]

Haha yes so true.. i wish i had the will to go back toschool but right now i just am focusing on Baby. But In january im going to be doing online school. Mum volenteered to help me when i do my online school in january i hope i can do it ..

Haha woa that sounds crazy i know what you mean there are some people that are all into it and have like so many things for it and me well i just want to dothe basic scrappbooking as well with out all the zillions of things other people have. I think it would be a good thing to do in thespare time. But what i really really cant wait to get starting on for little ones Baby book thats going to be awesome to do. and i think im going to do a pregnancy photo album too ive been taking pics since week 6 plus my BFP pic so i can start right from the begining on the pregnancy book once i get a photo album that is

Yes me too. My grandma wouldnt be able to get it if i took it on my cell phone because one of my grandma is like basically scared of technology and my other grandma is baffeled by text messaging haha. And i think a good vid camera is way better than doing it on a digi camera. I dont really care for the video camera on my digi camera it makes everything look weird and takes up to much space on my memory card and plus i dont no how to get those videos off of my camera

haha yes me too. i dont mind taking sum one else. i think OH will get more into it once im bigger and he has seen the ultra soun d

Yes i agree it could be stressfull trying to take care of baby while being in so much pain. and we will need all the rest we can get right away thats why im glad i have people that want to come and help me out

 

[QueSeraSera]

thats awesome about the online classes. i love that they have online courses and degrees...it really helps to make higher education more accessible to people with families and things like that. i think its one of the best things that colleges and universities have done. makes it more convenient.

oh you should have seen these women...their scrapbooks were insanely complex. but im just going to do the basics. im going to catch up on the last little over a year since our wedding and then start a pregnancy one for the baby. ive been taking pictures each week as well to document the development of the baby bump. so that will be cool to integrate so that one day the baby can look back and see where it all began

haha..your grandparents sound like mine! they try to stay away from technology...but i know they know how to play dvds so that would be a perfect video recorder. plus, my camera seems to take everything in very low resolution and you can barely see anything clearly.

i think thats what my DH is waiting for too...me to be visably pregnant. he asked me today if i looked pregnant, since hes been gone a little over a week. its so funny cause he has it in his mind that i should be big pregnant already. lol. so silly. but when i get that way, im sure he will be more into it

 

[dizzy65]

yes thats for sure. my mom she is doing online classes right now and she likes it because she can work at her own speed and she can do it at what ever time during the day that she can do it and i think that will be perfect for me as i will only be able to do my school work when baby is napping or when daddy is playing with baby. which will probably be alot of the time haha. i hope it will be good and easier to do then going actaully into the school, although the school does offer day care, my mom said that it would be better to do it online so i can spend as much time as i want with baby

that will be good for you ... i could imagin some people that are like really into the whole scrappbooking thing and they make them so complex and so hardthat it just is crazy.. i would be like you justwant something to document my life pretty much. I was looking today at Our book store at pregnancy scrappbooks and like baby scrapbooks they were pretty cool. i think with my second baby im going to do a Pregnancy diary.. i see many women do that, i have a pregnancy journal on here but id like one i could keep too.

LOL. my one gramma she is so funny. she doesnt no how to work DVD players ever time she accidently hits like a button so the TV goes all fuzzy, like she'll hit it off of channel 3 or what ever and she'll ring up my dad and get him to come over and fix it ... it is so funny.

I know what you mean, OH looks at me like i should have a huge tummy buy this point. i keep telling him just you wait i have like 6 more months there is still plently of time for me to get big

 

[QueSeraSera]

yea even though you could get daycare at the college the online option is probably better. with that you can definitely work at your own pace. and right after the baby is born they have to go in for so many checkups and things in their first year...and that could probably interfere with regular classes. my husband loved it when he was taking online courses, he could be sitting down attending class/doing his homework right beside me. it was cool. unfortunately the arch program here doesnt offer online courses, so i never got the option.

i actually bought this 9 month pregnancy journal. its pretty cool. it has a place to put a picture of the bump each week and everything, plus places to put your cravings and aversions and thoughts and feelings. i think itll be a nice keepsake down the road. the ones on here are convenient, but theres no real way to save them for your kids or anything

haha! thats my grandma exactly. she refuses to get cable because then you have to have a cable box and a fancy remote...and she says its a waste of time because when she has that it messes everything up and her "tv is always going fuzzy"...really shes just turning the cable box off on accident. she is so funny...cracks me up

i didnt think i was growing much, but my pants are all pretty tight and uncomfortable. i actually broke down and went and got some maternity clothes today. lol. they are so much more comfy! i know its early and i shouldnt need them yet, but i was getting tired of uncomfortable pants!

congratulations on 13 weeks! youre officially in the second trimester!!! how exciting. and only 4 more days until the ultrasound!!
