time for an update
Holy guacamole, it's almost been a month since my last post! Sheesh. I suppose that means I should probably write something, before I lose any more readers. Or before my mother shoots me... whichever comes first. Just so you know, my camera is full of pictures that I have yet to transfer from five months ago. So, no new pictures, just a boring post. Also, I've had a LOT on my mind lately. Here's just a sampling:
whining about...
1. just trying to stay alive right now. Last month was beastly and this month looks to be the same, but worse. We are officially broke. No cash, credit or loans left over to live on. It seems like we have nothing but debt. It sucks.
2. feeling sick, exhausted and starving. All the time. Not necessarily in that order, though...
dreaming about...
1. money, obviously. Because then we could pay rent + utilities. And then I could get this, this and this/this. Food would be nice, too.
2. a baby girl. Her name is Elizabeth Rae Summers, but she goes by Elsie-Rae. She has blue eyes and brown, wavy hair. She also sleeps through the night.
lucky about...
1. jobs. Even though we live from paycheck to paycheck, it's better than nothing. I am hyper aware of how blessed we really are.
2. being pregnant. I am just about 9 weeks along and am due late-mid-March (like, the 19th). A couple of weeks ago we had an ultrasound to rule out another ectopic pregnancy. Good news abounds, because the baby is indeed where it needs to be (my uterus)! We also got to see the tiny heart flutter and hear it beat, too. I just hope and pray that things continue to get better, and in seven months I'll have my baby! And yes, I would be perfectly happy if she turned out to be a he, instead ;) Oh, and I haven't thrown up yet. Definitely lucky about that!
And for what it's worth, I thought Breaking Dawn was awesome! It basically rocked my socks. Time to find a new obsession... *B

Yay for the baby being in the right place!!! I'm dreaming of a baby girl too. I've had her name picked out for years. I'm not even pregnant yet... Better get working on that.
ReplyDeleteDreaming of babies is fun- though mine were of twins and boys and stuff. The twins were weird.
ReplyDeleteI don't know that Breaking Dawn did any rocking for me, but I did like it! And I understand the whining and dreaming. Hang in there. There really is a someday!
ReplyDeleteI love the houses...they are really good dreams! I am so happy about the baby! Glad everything is going well! PS...I just finished New Moon! I loved it!
ReplyDeletea) Glad you're alive...I was starting to wonder
ReplyDeleteb) I love baby girls :)
c) In the mid of Breaking Dawn...totally wild.
Good to hear from you again! All I can say is life is good if you can at least pay your bills and sorry, but a HUGE thumbs down on Breaking Dawn from me. I hope everything keeps going well for you!
ReplyDeleteHOORAY, HOORAY. A post from you. You're alive! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to you doing all sorts of creative desiging/jobs?? I definitely have someone who needs your help and is willing to pay.
Hopin' you have a great day!
You have some big dreams my friend. If it's a girl, maybe I'll organize a cyber baby shower. Here's hoping. Let me know if you need anything that I can help you with.
ReplyDeletei'm so excited about the baby! wahoo! as for breaking dawn, i've got some issues, but i won't delve into it!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to hear from you. I never said congrats on the baby. We're so happy for you guys. Good luck with everything. And I'm glad you loved Breaking Dawn. I did too. I've heard lots of bad reviews, but I really liked it. Take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteFinally a post from you! you were getting me worried!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm praying for you, your family, and the wee little one to come! :)
Awww yay for babies! I'm so excited for you and your family. And yes...Breaking Dawn was great. (or should I say Edward was great? hahaha) Anyway, you're awesome. Hang in there! XOXO
ReplyDeleteJust chiming in on BD. I didn't love it the first time but I thought it ended the right way. I decided to re-read it and I am really loving it the second time. I'm glad you are back. Keep feeling good and not throwing up!
ReplyDeleteI so know how you guys are feeling! We're right there in the same $$ boat and it sucks. It's a great feeling to know how blessed we still are and I totally love your dreams of things you'd get! I love the houses.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're not throwing up! That's the worst. I'm so excited to hear the baby is doing good!!! Oh and I had some issues w/ BD at first, but I'm liking it more now. I'm still waiting to hear about Comic Con.......and waiting.....and waiting...... LOL Love ya!
On the bright side, you probably qualify for Medicaid... I'm wincing at the thought of the $3000 deductible I'd have to pay for another wee one...
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like this is going to be a busy year for you guys. Congrats on the baby though. I hope it looks as cute as I did. ;)
ReplyDeleteI love the name Elizabeth! (Obviously...but mine's a Lizzie...) Here's hoping you get her here soon and safe and healthy. Or a boy, if that's what comes, but I hope it's your Elsie! Good luck with the pregnancy!
