Stuff

Yay!! The loud always screaming neighbors are leaving! Its funny because i had a dream that they left and i moved into their apartment. *tear* then the following day the weird husband knocked on the door and informed me that they were moving. (awkward). Actually, the husband is okay-ish i think... the woman is scary looking. I dont think shes all there in the head to be honest. I feel so sorry for their THREE children- two of which are special needs according to he husband. All in a two bedroom apartment. No wonder the kids were always crying and getting yelled at. I actually had to drive them to walmart so they could do their tax refunds- I had to sit and listen to them yell constantly at their three yr old to stop doing three yr old things. For example, he ran into the girls room instead of the boys so the father (the mom was filling the paperwork) asked if i could go check to make sure he was okay. I walked in and made sure that he was okay, then had him wash his hands. Halfway through washing his hands, the mother comes storming in and yells at her boy to get out there with his dad. Uh... is sanitation not important? Poor kid. His clothes were all stained and dirty looking. Then afterwards the boy was crying because he was hungry so i offered to pass by Jack in the Box for somef ood for the kid. I pulled up thinking that he would get chicken strips or something for LUNCH but instead they shrugged and said "just get him a chocolate shake". What? So his lunch was a chocolate shake. Nice. It pissed me off.

Anyways, ive painted my bathroom. Don't worry- the walmart guy hooked me up with a really neat mask that has like a filter and odor eliminator so i wouldnt be in harms way. It worked really well. I kind of slacked off after a while. But it looks a lot better. Before it was a nasty beige with forest green cabinets adn two different wallpaper designs. Now its mostly white with light blue cabinets and light blue on the walls that surround the bathtub. Its not that pretty but it makes a lot of difference.

I think im going to paint the baby's room white (im in an apartment... ) with one focus wall with a pretty green (again... i cant go all out bc im a renter). I didnt really want a themed room so i figured with one color i could do a lot of different things later. We got the crib on sunday. It turned out really pretty. Its a cherry sleigh crib that converts into a toddler/day bed later. I like it a lot.

It’s a boy! After waiting for 2 ½ hours at the doctors office, we FINALLY got to see what it was. First it was determined that the baby is a boy. Second we found out that I was actually about 3 weeks farther along than we thought. So, I am now due on May 18th instead of June 6th – making me a little over five months. Apparently, the little guy was moving a lot during the whole ordeal. Even the doctor commented on how wiggly he was. He told me not to worry if I didn’t feel the baby for an entire day- but I’m not having that problem. I feel him all the time. Also, now its not just when I’m sitting down. I was walking in Wal-Mart and suddenly noticed that it felt like I had swallowed a fish tank full of guppies and they were all making a final attempt to break out. Nothing but *bump bump bump* all down the pasta aisle and into the meat section.

Im posting part of the video and some of the pictures from the doctors visit. There’s a part of the video where you can see his hand making a wave-like motion towards the camera. He’s facing us, so you can see everything. The doctor even put a little square at the tip of the “turtle” as he called it, so I could see later. Hopefully I can get it to load up right. The video kind of stinks- I had to re-record it using my digital camera and the tv was making those weird black lines show up.

Now that I know the sex, I went ahead and bought some warm winter outfits for next year at Wal-Mart. They were on sale for $3- $7. I only got a couple of things- they were all blue and though cute as they were, I didn’t want all one color.

Changes

Woo.

My boss from work has left. Its actually a lot better without her here. She would ALWAYS lie to customers- saying that their stuff is going out but then she would never order it until months later. So, shes gone. Already we've ordered a lot of the stuff that people were calling about daily. (it wasnt even that hard...) Its a lot better here. Now i don't have to avoid the office because of her smoking (shes the owner- she tried to not smoke around me but everyonce in a while she would forget, so id have to leave). Its a lot less stressful as well. I can actually talk to customers about the status of orders without fearing that I would be contradicting what Teresa said.

Im starting to feel "kicks". Its more like a series of small bumps but still. I keep trying to get jerry to feel them too, but i don't think theyre strong enough for him to feel them with his hand. This Friday is when we're going to try to see what the sex is. Its going to be exciting. Im already excited. Mom's saying that its a girl and that shes "always right" so...


I was thinking yesterday that I don't really like pepperoni. Its too salty and makes me super thirsty. I prefer the meat lovers.

I am soo tired. I havent been able to sleep the past week or so. My back begins to hurt really bad. I slept last with a pillow between my legs- it helped a little.

Im having really vivid dreams lately. Last night it was being the outcast in some school, so I decided to make a "outcast club" and we were trying to find the perfect tree that was perfectly hidden to make a club tree house. Then during my search, i ran into this guy Pascal that i knew in HS (Yexza's brothers friend.. he thought he was all that ) except he was homeless looking- with a huge nasty beard and bushy eyebrows . I tried talking to him, but he just stole a ham sandwich from under a desk (i know it was ham, he showed it to me in the dream) then ran out. But somehow i figured out where he stayed by following a grey kitten to an empty barn. I never actually went into the barn because i absolutely HAD To make lasagna (yumm) to take to him for his supper. I was in a hurry and thought for sure that he was going to leave before i finished the lasagna. I texted him (he was a bum with a cellphone) and the last thing i remember is him texting back "im waiting for the lasagna".

Then the other day i dreamed that my baby was a water baby. Everyone wanted to see him, but i sheilded him from view because I couldnt figure out why he was flimsy and plasticy. I just remember wondering what the heck i did that turned my child into a waterbaby.
