Just to keep everybody posted... the child is being unruly and has not been born as of yet. Her estimated due date was last monday, November 20th. I guess it didn't sound like a good day to her.

Page Summary
November 2006

I feel like a very bloated, waddling penguin. I know I will only get bigger in the next 2 1/2 months and can't conceive of how my body and organs are going to make room for this growing child. I was at the doctor today. He had a difficult time getting a reading of Trista's heart-rate because every time he put the fetal monitor on my tummy she would kick at it. I think it's because Adam plays a game with her ... when she pokes, he will poke her back. I cannot tell this to my doctor. I also have been developing this uncontrollable urge to knit. Maybe I should give in. Bleh! I finally had coffee for the first time in over 4 months and it was amazing! I went to Starbucks and got a mint mocha frappaccino.=) To quote Stewie from Family Guy "Oh God, it's like an orgy in my mouth!" I feel really good right now. Adam and I finally met our neighbors late last night ... all of them. They are all very nice, some are even kinda cool, and one is pregnant and due near the end of october. It even makes living near our downstairs neighbors more tolerable. It's too bad about what had happened to finally get us all to meet. Ok, so today I had my first bit of real fun with being pregnant. I was in Safeway today, waiting in line at customer service to get a money order. The line was kinda long, about a 15 minute wait. About 5 minutes of waiting and I begin to feel warm and light-headed. I pick up my phone to call Adam, who is waiting in the car, and WHAM I pass out and collapse onto the floor. How very, very embarrassing. My blood pressure had dropped from not eating and being on my feet for a while. So I come to a few moments later, surrounded by those who were in line, and about 3 safeway employees. All asking if I was ok, do I need help up, let me get you some water, etc. I give Adam a call and the safeway employees ran and got me a chair, a glass of ice water, and a candy bar to help. I was content just hanging out on the floor for a while. So I sat in the chair for several minutes, sipping my water and eating my candy bar while Adam continued my transaction. I was pretty flustered considering that everyone was concerned for my well being and kept asking if I was ok and if I needed anything else. One of the managers asked if I was ok and if I needed their phone number in case I was hurt. I'm fine just banged up knees and pride. He even asked if I needed them to get me the electric shopping cart so take me out to the car. Wow, I'm ok, really. I just need to remember to eat before I leave the house so my blood pressure doesn't drop and this happens again. I'm not sure if I will be able to go to Safeway for a while, too embarrassing. What is it with all of my ex-boyfriends, lovers, or husband wanting to get back in touch with me RIGHT NOW. In the past two months I have renewed contact with 5 of these people. My ex-husband, Rob, just emailed, then called me out of the blue yesterday. He and his wife are getting divorced, she's leaving him for another man while he is overseas in Iraq (which I really do think is mean and callous and I pity him for what he has to go through right now). Apparently he has been looking over all of his pictures and reminiscing about the good times in the past. I know he needs the contact and such, I don't hate him, but it is still kinda weird. Apparently me being pregnant and all has completely changed his viewpoint of me, go figure. I have found out today that I am 7 weeks pregnant. Ok, last night Adam and I were walking out of Chipotle around 9-ish and were priileged enough to view a spectacular fireworks display near the base of the mountains. Was there some sort of holiday yesterday that we are not aware of? Even the cop nearby didn't have a clue. Maybe I'm out of the holiday celebrations loop but I'm pretty sure St. Patrick's day was last week. This wasn't just some kids letting of a couple of leftover fireworks either, I was large, professional, and even included the all out finale. What am I missing? Please somebody let me know! Here I am in uber quiz mode again... Damn my fits of eternal boredom... ( more quizzes )
Here I am sitting on my couch, just having run two miles and I am suddenly struck with the monotony of my life right now. Sure I have a great boyfriend, cool friends, and psychotic kitties, but I feel like I am just spinning my wheels and not really doing anything memorable. I have part-time school and part-time work, a few close friends I talk to regularly, but otherwise I feel...well..boring. I don't even have angst. My days go by, seasons change, but nothing exciting really happens. If I look back on these past couple of months I don't see anything accomplished and I haven't made my mark anywhere. It's not like I want to be known by half the population or be on tv or something. I just want to be able to say "guess what I did last week" or "do you know what I saw". Maybe I should just get out more, but the more I stay inside and just exist, the less I want to go places, meet new people or even do anything different and new. It's like I'm on auto pilot, each day stretches into the next, an endless procession of sleep, laundry, and homework. I am waiting, but nothing is happening, everyone else is out to lunch but me. I have a pretty good feeling I will survive a zombie attack... Anyway, Ass-hat has returned for a couple of weeks for his "R&R" and to marry his new soul mate and current love-of-his-life (since the last one didn't work out). He gave me a call earlier this week because his moronic tactics of trying to avoid his responsibilities by ignoring them have failed to work out. The military finally caught on to his stupidity (with a little help from me) and I am sure they have reclaimed some of his pay and hopefully pulled rank (I can only hope). He was livid because I apparently "went behind his back" and talked to his chain of command to make him comply with his court order to pay alimony at the correct times and using the correct methods. (No matter what he may think, I AM NOT A BUSINESS!)My favorite comment from him in his long-winded ranting was "God, we're divorced and you STILL won't listen to me". Well duh, if I didn't listen to your idiotic schemes and narrow-minded ideas when I was married to you, why should I start now? Does anyone else know people like this? I swear he must have gotten hit in the head during basic training and turned stupid, arrogant, and hypocritical. Needless to say I could only laugh at him which made him even more mad. I couldn't help it, the trash and sheer bullshit coming from his mouth is completely laughable, even Adam could hear it from the other side of the room, Ass-hat was yelling so loud. On the brighter side, I have finally accomplished my overall goal... he vowed to never contact me again and that I am out of his life for good. (Apparently the divorce was to sublte of a hint) Yeah! Sweet,evil Jesus! I have been waiting for months to hear those words. I don't see how he has been able to make it this far in life, oh yeah, it's because he latches onto others like a leech and doesn't have a life of his own. I am soooooooo very glad to wise up and get rid of him. And I swear, he wasn't like this when I married him. I scored exactly the same as Adam, and no I didn't cheat...
