A Promise Broken






I promised my husband something quite a few months ago and I broke that promise more than once. This is my semi-public apology to him with yet another promise that I won't do it again.

I had promised him that when the baby came I would not bound him to the house. He could go fishing when ever he wanted. Same goes for the movies, herping, or hanging with friends. Anything he wanted. I would not trap him in the house. He told me that he would have no problem staying home and it was all about family time. I explained he would go stir crazy not having his freedom and I would not keep him in the house. I later proved my point within a months time.

Well a friend came into town. Hubby wanted to go fishing in the morning (this I was not aware of until 3am and he said he was not going). I guess he decided to go anyways, I was not invited, but I ruined it. All because I wanted to sleep in a little longer. He told me he waited for me to get up so he could leave. Well I got upset, forgetting about the 3am conversation. He cancelled his plans to appease me. I told him to just go realizing that I was trapping him in the house. Well he waited so long before finally leaving, he decided he would go to the movies. I was sorta invited to this but I had no babysitter. Mom was busy doing stuff with dad and I hate imposing on my friend Devon she has her own family that actually do stuff together. Besides I had already seen the movie once. This was hubby's third time. So he left and invited A LOT of people to join him at the movies. He took his sisters with him.

Since the birth of Rilee Jerry has had friends over, gone fishing, and played video games at a friends house. Since the birth of Rilee I have gone shopping. That was it and it was for one day and for a couple of hours. I did get to take my husband out to dinner that night. The only other times I leave the house is for the doctors or groceries.

One other reason I can think to why I got upset about him going fishing was because I have not had time out. I am the trapped one in the house. I want to go out with my husband and just have us time. Or have a night with my best friend. But I guess that is what I get. I wanted a baby and these are the consequences. I told him it would be like this. He would be going out and having the life that he had before I even got pregnant, and I would stay home and take care of the baby, morning, noon and night.

So here is my promise yet again. I promise to let you have your life and not bound you to the house. I was just being tired and selfish. It is out of my system now.

I hate sundays

VS. I hate Sundays. Used to look forward to having every other Sunday off so I could spend time with my husband. We would do a day of fun. Movies dinner sex whatever. Now I just want to be at work all day cause now it's a day of fighting. He watches the cardinals football game while I take care of house work. I try not to cross his view of the tv but I need to move items from one room to another. Bout half way through the game we start fighting. It's always because I ask him to do something while in commercial. He wants to wait till after the game and I want it done now because it won't get done later. That's where the fight starts. Then on commercials the war gets stronger. It makes me feel like he hates me. We really get into it. By the time the game is over he says he won't watch any more games ever. I know he is saying that so we won't fight anymore. But I also know that he will text or facebook people to get updates on the game and get mad cause he is missing great plays and they're winning. So we will still bicker. I love him so much but I can't seem to not fight with him on days off we have together. Maybe he will be happier if I just work every weekend so he can do things with his friends, and watch his sports. I hate fighting and if keeping us separated makes him happier then so be it. Good-bye to being with the love of my life for a whole day. I will just keep working all day schedules.

To You I look Huge......

I decided it would be fun to take some pictures of myself. I noticed there was not much of me, and since this website is about me, and nothing but me, I should post some me's as my HUGE self that I am. Though they ARE all pregnant me's.

When I am looking down at my feet this is what I see.

When the rest of you look at me this is what you see.


A month ago I took this picture for the sole reason of having it on my screen of my cel phone. I did not realize I was already looking like a linebacker Then I discovered it was the damn shirt that made me look that huge. I look more like picture two than anything.

I took this picture back in July
Two days ago I took this picture WHERE THE HELL DID THAT COME FROM?

The baby is due in 1 month and 7 days. More pictures will be taken in the mean time.

Horror stories from customers and friends.

The minute you get pregnant the rest of the world has to tell you labor pains.

Here are some short versions of stories I have heard since the world found out I was pregnant.


1. I was sick the whole pregnancy.
2. The baby got stuck on its way out. They had to use forceps to get it over the speed bump.
3. The baby came at week 32.
4. I was told I would have to have a Cesarean when the baby reached 5 lbs. She came out almost 7 pounds. I was having medical issues that posed a risk of death.
5. I had 20 false labors and it was 2 weeks late.
6. I was in labor 24 hours.
7. I almost lost the baby because I didn't drink enough water.
8. I had to chose which baby to keep after they were born Siamese.
9. Forced into Cesarean and they cut the babies head with the scalpel.
10. I died on the table from the pain.
11. My husband and my mother fought over who was going to be in the delivery room. I ended up doing it by myself.

13. My 4 year old called 911 and delivered his little sister.
14. My husband fainted in the delivery room.
15. My husband fought with me during the delivery because I would not let him watch the baby come out.
16. My sister and I went into labor at the same time. She was due a month later but her baby was bigger.
17. I was at work when I started having contractions. I was in the parking lot at my work when my water broke. I was sitting in my car when the baby decided it was time to come out. I pissed off allot of people driving 15mpg in a 45 as I drove myself to the hospital. The baby was crowning as I walked through the parking lot of the ER.
18. Do not have sex the last week of your pregnancy it makes you go into labor.
19. I was told I was having a girl.... I popped out a boy.
20. No matter how many ultra sounds you have another baby can hide behind the other one.

These were just some stories that I heard. My anxiety has not yet started.

2 months and counting

According to everyone I have a really good pregnancy. No nausea, no back pain, no cravings, no eating everything in site, and he didn't start moving until I was 6 months in. I am now 7 months pregnant, due November 17Th.

I went to the doctors last month and he had me take a 1 hour glucose test. This test is to see if you are a diabetic. It is an orange drink that tastes like watered down orange soda. A couple days later I went back into the doctors and he checked on the baby. He told me that the baby was perfect in weight and length. Then he told me that I was Anemic. How does that happen when your pregnant. What I said to him was "Well I wouldn't be if my son would share the food I ingest." He gave me a prescription for iron pills and told me I needed to take a 3 hour glucose test. I went 3 days later.

This stuff had the ability to make you gag. This one is red. First they take your blood, you have 5 min to drink the nasty stuff then make you sit in the waiting room for an hour, your not allowed to leave. They call you back in take a vial of blood and tell you to wait an hour. By the third hour you are sooooooooooooo bored, starving, and want something that tastes good to drink. On the final hour I had had my blood drawn 3 times, and went pee 5 times. When I got home there was a message on my machine from my doctor telling me to call them on Monday.

On Monday I called and left a message for them to call me back. I called again on Tuesday and they called me back 3 hours later. One of the nurses told me that the call was in reference to my glucose test. (Considering I had taken it 2 hours prior to their phone call I was freaking). She told me that I had failed my glucose test. I was like "Again? My husband is going to be so upset." I heard an eerie silence, then she asked me if I had already taken it. I explained that I had taken the one hour last week, came in a few days later to see the doctor and that is when he told me I had failed it and needed to take a 3 hour. Which is what I had taken on Friday the day they called. She put me on hold to check on results for that test. She came back and said she needed to consult with the doctor, but would have to call me back as he was with a patient. I said OK. An hour later she called back and said that he found one abnormality but needed 2 to make me a diabetic so I passed. What a way to stress a person out.

I decided that since my son does not want to share his food I will have my normal meal then a half hour later I will have a snack to feed myself. Just like his father eats everything in sight. According to the baby books I am supposed to start mass gaining weight. Well I will if I am eating like I am now, one for him one for me.

Last night I was laying in bed and I had my husband put his hand on my belly to feel the continuous kicking his son was doing. It was not here and there kicking it was in the same place over and over and over again. Like he was being an annoying kid at the theater kicking the back of the seat in front of him. He said it felt like a heart beat. Then his son stopped and changed positions, right under his hand. He took his hand away right after that. I think it was freaking him out.

So in conclusion to this blog our son has finally been named. His name is going to be Rilee. Middle Name to still be determined. Thoughts for middle name Jacob, Axel, and Austin.

Run daddy Run!

I can totally see why fathers to be, go MIA, while the wife is expecting. My god the hormones are enough to make the mommy to be, wanna go MIA.

Definition of Horomone (Actual)
1. Biochemistry. any of various internally secreted compounds, as insulin or thyroxine, formed in endocrine glands, that affect the functions of specifically receptive organs or tissues when transported to them by the body fluids.
2. Pharmacology. a synthetic substance used in medicine to act like such a compound when introduced into the body.
3. Botany. Also called phytohormone. any of various plant compounds, as auxin or gibberellin, that control growth and differentiation of plant tissue.

Definition of Hormone (to everyone else)
HORROR what everyone else goes through for 9 months while dealing with the expecting mother.
MOANS what everyone else does when she comes anywhere near them.

The larger you get the more y0u think your significant other is not sexually interested in you anymore.

When asked to do something it needs to be done at that second or it gets done noisily by the mommy

Looking or talking about other women will cause an emotional break down

Our bodies are changing, our sleep is screwed, we pee hourly, and food has become an obsession

If the mommy is not the center of attention the unborn child better be.

Just because the tits are bigger does not mean they can be played with the way you are used to.

Preparations need to be done BEFORE the baby is born. Yes we are freaking out that our child is going to be naked, hungry, and be sleeping in a dresser drawer.

Any movie or show that is sad will make you cry.

Sex is a whole lot more pleasurable. Though certain positions are not possible to do. But if the mommy wants it you give it up.

AND THEN THERE IS THE WHEN THE BABY IS BORN FEARS.

Will the daddy get overwhelmed and stay away?
Will having this baby make me sexually loose?
Will I be the only one caring for this kid?
Will my husband feel like he has no freedom?
Do I have everything ready to be a parent?
What all do I need for this baby?

If you do it he will too

My husband is such a follower. He set up a myspace page because all his friends were using it. After a month that fascination ended, and he deleted his account. I started a myspace page that we can share so we can view other friends pages. But it clearly tells everyone how much we hate myspace.

MYSPACE

Then his friends found twitter. It did not take him long before he was telling people that we were sitting on the couch watching TV. Thankfully he did not do it as bad as most people.

TWITTER

He has already found a new fascination. Thanks Jerrys Friends. He is now addicted to Face book. Sigh. This time it is really bad. He actually sits on the couch with the tv silent looking through his face book. While I just sit and stare at him, then snatch the remote and watch tv.

FACEBOOK

I can just hope that if his friends decide to bungee off a building he does not fallow them there too.

its cold continued......

Oh god I didn't sleep at all. When I wasn't trying to get comfy I was thinking about how mad he is at me. I found that out really quick.

I set my alarm to get me up so I can make sure that he gets up too. He had reset his alarm for 15 more min. Instead of asking me why I wasn't in bed he asked me where the fuck were you. I answered with I couldn't sleep. So 15 min later I went in and got him up again. He had again reset the alarm and asked me why aren't you in bed? I told him I couldn't sleep. Each time I would crawl back into the futon bed in the babies room. Finally he got up and got ready.

One way I knew he was stilled pissed off at me, was the fact that he didn't even come in to check on me or anything. He just got up, got dressed, didn't have breakfast, and left immediately. The garage door is right by the babies room. You have to pass it to get out. He didn't even say anything to me. He set the house alarm and walked out.

I must have really did him good last night to make him hate me so much that he won't even talk to me. Any other day he would have gotten up and looked for me this morning. He would have been concerned that I was not in bed. He would have talked to me.

Well it is 817am I need to get ready for work. I know he won't contact me all day so I have to wait this out and see how long it takes him to calm down and talk to me. Now to figured out if I want to be upset tonight and have the baby stress out or stay away and see if he contacts me.

It is going to be a lovely day at work.

It was cold here last night....

I do not mean that just because my air conditioner was fixed last week. I mean it was cold in my bedroom. We went to bed on opposite sides of the bed last night. After awhile I got cold and lonely and went and slept in our future sons room. I still felt the same but at least I knew the love of my life was not beside me making me feel that way.


I don't know which stresses him out more, the fact that he could be fired if he does not pass this class, or that I am pregnant and not doing anything right.

Though being pregnant is one of my fondest dreams.... I have prayed and wished on stars for this. But lately I have wished I had never gotten pregnant. It has caused us to fight in ways we have never fought before. It scares me that he will walk out on me one of these days because my hormones are out of control and his blood sugar makes him have anger issues. Or because he will realize the baby is taking his freedom and my attention. Last week he was pulling at his hair and slamming his fist into the couch because I told him his blood sugar was dropping and he was turning stupid. Like I have for years. According to him that had always upset him. Last night he didn't say a word to me when he came to bed and then he made sure he was as far from me as possible. I said good night and he still ignored me. Eventually I went and slept in the other room. For once he didn't join me. In fact he didn't even ask me where I was going. That is how I new he was fuming about our argument.

It all started with me pushing him to study. He has to pass this class for work or they will fire him. He started the classes on Monday and they end Friday. He is taking the test Monday. I am really stupid when trying to help study because I have no idea what I am reading. I can't help at all with simulators because it involves the computer. After I had finally got him in there to study, he told me to come in and figure out the bills. I didn't want him distracted from his studies but after his pushing I went it. Also cause he said he would help. I went in and tallied everything. I found out how much we got paid and then asked his opinion on how we should pay them so we have money for our vacation. That is where it all turned south. We both started yelling. I was upset cause he said he would help me pay bills and didn't, and he was upset because I asked him to pay the house payment. He then pushed his keyboard away from him pissed off and started canceling the vacation and telling me was going to get fired. I know he needs to study I am the one that is pushing him to do it. He is the one that wants to watch tv and go herping. I paid the crucial ones and left us with 500 for the 2 weeks. I am prepared for the baby fund to be tapped on our vacation. I have 600 in it. We have basically bled it with emergencies. Why not one last week of freedom before the baby comes. We both go on vacation the 22nd. Around midnight I eventually shut down my computer and left the room.

I figured all was fine when I decided to go to bed. I brought him both of his medications and prepared the alarms. I even made sure the bed was ready so he could just slide in and right up against me. At 1240 I told him he needed to come to bed it was getting late. He said in a minute he would. At 10 past 1 he finally came out of the room and went outside to have a smoke. At 125 he came into the bedroom. I had passed out waiting for him. I was laying in a position where he could just back up into me and go into auto spoon. In stead I felt the cats walk the empty space between us. After ten minutes I new he was still pissed at me and I went away.

It is now 235am. I am going to distress and go to bed in the babies room. At least I can sleep now. I good cry while typing works out really well.

Baby Update

As of August 7th I am 26 weeks pregnant. Every visit I have been losing 2 pounds. This past visit I broke even I did not gain or lose. The doctor says now I will be gaining.

Another name has been thought of. We are still in the air about what to call him. So far the names are Dylyn, Trever, and the newest one Sayer (pronounced sawyer).

As of July 17th I have been feeling him moving. I thought I just had a bad case of indigestion. As of the 5th of August he has been highly active. According to the book I am reading he now has has hair. Here are some week 26 studies from books.

From the books:

What to expect when you are expecting:
26 weeks pregnant

Week 26 of Pregnancy

Major excitement: Your baby opens her eyes! On the flip side, you might wish yours would stay closed so you could get some sleep.
If a full night's rest has become elusive, welcome to the (sleepless) world of pregnancy insomnia. Between heartburn and leg cramps, bathroom runs and that big beach ball beneath your nightie, it's no wonder your body's having trouble calming down and drifting off. But there are lots of tactics to try that should help keep you in bed (and asleep!) instead of pacing the floor; these include daytime exercise, a daily dose of fresh air, and limiting fluids before you hit the hay. What's up with your baby? She now weighs a full two pounds and measures nine-plus inches. And this week, her eyes, which until now were developing under fused eyelids, start to open. Of course, there's not much to see in there, but if your baby spots a bright light (or hears a loud noise) near your belly, you may notice an increase in fetal activity. (Hey, I'm in here, Mommy!)

Week 26 Pregnancy Tip: Baby's Movements in the Womb


Feel like you're carrying the Karate Kid with all the kicking going on? Your baby is actually practicing all kinds of movements that will eventually be used in life on the outside — including pedaling against your belly, a sort of prewalking skill. As your baby's nervous system becomes more developed, the movements will become much more coordinated. And as the baby gets bigger and stronger, the movements will become much more powerful…and occasionally, even painful to you. If your baby lands a good one, that tiny left hook might hurt — a lot. Another trick he or she may try — stretching that leg out so far that the foot becomes lodged between your ribs (ouch). Next time you come under attack from the karate kid, try changing positions or doing some stretches of your own. You can also gently push your baby back with your hand when your knee-jerker jerks a little too hard. You just might be able to send your slugger back into the corner of the ring!


Pregnancy Week By Week

A resource dedicated to women during pregnancy!

Your Baby

During pregnancy week 26 your baby will grow to almost 2 whole pounds. Your baby may be measured now by her crown-to-rump length, which is about 9.5 inches, or her total length, which measures roughly 12 inches long!

Changes In Your Growing Baby
As you continue your pregnancy week by week your baby will continue building layers of fat to protect her during birth. During pregnancy week 26 your baby's heart develops even further. Some women are able to hear their baby's heartbeat through a traditional stethoscope by 26 weeks pregnant. Don't worry if you can't though, some women aren't able to do this even up until the point of delivery!

Your baby is also busy building neural pathways inside the ears during pregnancy at 26 weeks. These will allow your tiny miracle to respond to noises more routinely while pregnancy. You may notice after 26 weeks pregnant that your baby tends to jump more or startle at the sound of loud noises. This is perfectly normal. Your baby will also start to recognize your voice and that of your partner.

During pregnancy week 26 your baby continues to practice breathing and swallowing amniotic fluid. Many boy babies go through a bit of a growth spurt during 26 weeks of pregnancy, as their testicles start their descent into the scrotum. Typically this process will be complete in just two or three days.

Your Body's Development
By 26 weeks pregnant your uterus should be roughly 2.5 inches above your navel and will continue growing roughly 1 centimeter every week of your pregnancy week by week. Many women will have put on between 15 and 25 pounds by this time. Keep in mind that weight gain often fluctuates significantly around this time primarily due to changes in fluid retention, so don't get bogged down by your scale and weigh yourself too frequently as this can lead to frustration or disappointment.

Changes In Your Body
As you continue your pregnancy week by week from about 26 weeks pregnant on you might start to become less comfortable. Common symptoms women experience around this time include back pain or pressure and leg cramps. You can help alleviate some of this discomfort by stretching routinely and by eating a nutritious diet to help keep your body charged with the vitamins and minerals it needs to grow properly.

Every week your baby develops your body's hormones also grow, change and adapt. Around this time your body's hormones change and may impact the way your body responds to routine exercise. Keep this in mind because your body becomes more prone to injury after about pregnancy week 26.

Some women start experiencing more headaches again as they approach the third trimester. Fortunately Tylenol is often all that is needed to relieve headache pain around this time. If your headaches seem overly frequent or severe you should consult with your doctor. Your doctor might be able to recommend other treatment choices.

Still other women experience some rib pain around this time as the uterus or your baby's feet even press against your ribs. It is quite normal in fact to feel some stabbing or sharp pains under your ribs when your baby moves about. Fortunately a simple change in position often helps alleviate this discomfort.

It isn't uncommon for many women's blood pressure to rise slightly after about 24 weeks pregnant. Most women's blood pressure is lower in the weeks just before this then rises slightly. Your doctor will monitor your blood pressure of course to ensure that your blood pressure stabilizes and does not rise too suddenly. A rapid increase in blood pressure accompanied by other symptoms including pain, swelling or blurry and spotted vision may be a sign that you are at risk for or developing pre-eclampsia. Most women will not develop this condition until the third trimester but it is never too early to be on the lookout for warning signs.

THE BIGGEST SECRET EVER!!!!!!!




I am so proud of my husband!
He was actually capable of keeping a secret. Usually when something happens to him or us he will call everyone in his phone book and tell them. The ones who don't answer he will leave them a text. By the end of the night everyone knows and now it is onto telling complete strangers. Like they care.... but they WILL know.

Well my husband and I both kept this secret from March 29th til May 23rd of 2009. Only 2 people were told before the end date and they were Devon and Robert. It was totally my decision to keep everyone out of the loop. It drove Jerry crazy. He didn't see the reason why I would want it all to be kept quiet.

The was only one really good reason MY MOM AND DAD!

On May 23rd at 6:00 we were eating at the Golden Corral. It was my mom and Dad. Cesar, Casey and their 2 out of 3 kids. Amanda and her two kids. Christa, Brittany and Nana. Kathy and Bill (their two kids did not come). Keith, Cameron, and Sasha. Devon and Robert with no kid, and then hubby and I. I had reserved 30 seats. I filled 21 of them. Some just out right refused to come. Those who did not come were sent cards in the mail.

It was Christas 19th birthday. When I had planned this dinner I completely spaced it was her birthday. I had scheduled it as a perfect time for when my mother was here. So I made sure the restaurant embarrassed the crap out of her. Every waitress and waiter in the building was singing, clapping and screaming who was being celebrated.

At 6:15pm our waitress came back in with another embarrassment. She was alone this time. She announced

My mother screamed to the top of her lungs. I was already crying. My brother flew around the table and hugged me.

I have been trying for 11 years. Every group got this . So did the people who were not able to make it to the dinner. I mailed it to them. I have heard from all except for my grandparents and my middle brother. I am hoping they at least say something.

I found out after the meal that people were pissed off at me for making the announcement on that day. They were upset that I ruined Christas 19th birthday celebration. Christa didn't even speak to me the next day when we took her to a friends house to go swimming.

Jerry found out March 29th like this I took the exact same tests the next day. Same results. Devon and Robert found out the 29th also.

On April first I went in to have blood work done. They attempted to hand me a cup but I told them I had already pissed on 4 I wanted blood. It took them til April 3rd to give me my results. The nurse said "you are very pregnant". What the heck does that mean? Am I having twins? I didn't ask that I was t0o excited.

I immediately went out and bought myself a to keep track of the adventures of pregnancy. I am not doing a very good job at keeping it updated. I am putting some very interesting stories in it though.

On May first the baby got its first picture taken. I wanted to be the first one to take its picture.


My first mothers day was not as exciting as I was expecting it to be. Devon had told me that her in the womb mothers day was awesome. So that is what I was expecting too. Jerry bought me an Indiana Jones Card that plays the theme music when you open it. But it was a birthday card. He had scratched out the words birthday and put mothers day. Honestly I disliked it. To me it showed no thought or pleasure of the day. After awhile I started to like it until I found out that my best friend Devon had gotten the same card. Now I am upset again because I am unsure of whoes idea it was to make a birthday card a mothers day card. Because of this it stewed a HUGE arguement.

The next day Devon had wrapped up a gift for baby and I she had gotten me 3 movies and a mothers day card. Two of the movies are real oldies from even before my time. But that is what I want the baby to be brought up on. The classics. She also provided me with the babies first hat and socks.

My mother has already contributed to the clothes. She bought this She almost bought the crib and stroller too..... thankfully no means no. I am not ready for those items yet.

But the room looks awesome... it needs a few touches but as far as books movies and stuffed animals go this kid will have the hook up.




My husband is scared shitless. Terrified. Petrified.
