  • Just a random blurb...

    Life has been a little rough and stressful recently. I tend to clean, and I mean DEEP clean, when I'm angry. And let me tell you, I have a sparkling clean kitchen tonight! I didn't even watch GLEE! I needed to let off some major steam that has been building for several weeks and I feel a little better. Me and Jeremy are fine though, it's not about him. I know you can all sleep better tonight knowing me and Jeremy are still completely, unfailingly, immovably, and disgustingly in L-O-V-E. My marriage is my favorite thing in my whole life right now. That and my baby. And really, my problems are small compared to many people. But not that small. It takes a lot to bring me down.

    It's hard because I can't really talk to anyone about it except Jeremy and sometimes my parents. And I hate that. I much prefer my life to be an open book.

    So I'm going to pass on the big 24 Weeks update. Just not in the mood. Nothing has changed really. She moves around and squirms all the time now and still, every single time I am shocked and entertained. Every single time I feel a twinge I want to interrupt me and Jeremy's conversation and scream, "SHE MOVED! FEEL MY BELLY!" But if I did that we'd never get any talking done because I'd constantly be giving him baby movement updates...haha. Today while researching for a paper in bed, I had the laptop on my belly, and she would move it! That was really cool. I was impressed.

    One really exciting piece of news is that we booked the Disney Cruise to Alaska in 2011! Whoo hoo! We were very blessed and were able to work it all out. We have about zero disposable income for the next two weeks but we'll survive. I'll just eat enough at the baby shower to hold me over for a week. Haha. (Like I could even eat enough to hold myself over for an hour these days!) I'll talk more about the cruise later. But the best part is that my immediate family is coming too. I hope more and more extended family members end up coming though. The more the merrier!

    Another thing keeping me looking on the bright side is my baby shower on Saturday! My mom and a few other ladies in the family have made this thing a lot bigger than I expected. Bigger is better in this case. I'm so excited! It will be so great to be able to just hang out, eat, and catch up with so many friends and relatives. I can't wait!

    I'm actually leaving for the airport in about 5 1/2 hours and I still have to take a shower, finish my paper, do another load of laundry, and finish packing the toiletry stuff that has to wait for the last minute. Yeah. Probably not gonna get to all of that...

    Anyways, that's it for tonight! Pray that I have a safe landing in Raleigh. Former Hurricane Ida will be there causing 24 mph winds. I know that won't bring a plane down, but I'm sure it will be bumpy enough to make me nervous. Which is bad because I'm also nervous that we'll crash some other way, that the baby will freak out from the pressure, that I'll go into pre-term labor, that uterine pressure changes secretly cause autism or something, that I'll have to pee and not be able to get to the airplane bathroom, and a myriad of other concerns. Ha! At least it's not Friday the 13th yet. I don't have a good track record with those either.

    Until next week!
