Happy Early Memorial Day!
Memorial Day is a great holiday and deserves to be mentioned in this entry...Good food, good family, and a silent prayer for all those who have given and are giving their lives for the freedom we so easily take for granted. I enjoy this holiday because it's the day when most people will open their pools, barbeque, and summer feels like it's almost officially here. Today, is gonna be a little different of course. I'm going to tell my Dad's side of my family I'm pregnant today...I'm kinda at a loss of how to just stand up and say..."Guess what..." As a joke to my cousin, I said, "I guess I could always go with, 'Hey pass the potato salad oh and by the way I'm pregnant" But, I just don't think that's gonna cut it. I know that as long as I'm happy, they will be happy. My grandmother will just love the idea of being a greatgrandmother for the forth time...it's just, not the easiest thing to bring up. It's actually easier to tell complete strangers...you just bust out with the words and they get bright in the face and say congratulations...LOL! Ahhh well, I have a few more hours to think about it...so, I'm not too worried...actually, I'm really hungry right now, and I JUST got up! This kid has the most aggressive eatting habit! I'm constantly starving! Not to mention I'm all ready starting to have back pain...my lower back feels like it's on fire! I know it's from standing a lot...but, it makes sitting and laying down a very delicate matter. The chiropractor cracks it everytime I'm there and it feels better that day, but by the next day I'm in pain again and it just gets worse...I don't know what I'm gonna do when I'm BIG pregnant and leaning forward...I guess I'll be going to see the chiropractor more than once a week!
Getting away from all that, Chris left yesterday for a week long vacation back to Frostburg to see his family and friends. As much as I'm happy that he's taking a vacation (he DESERVES it more than anyone I know!), I'm happy that he's seeing the family that he loves and misses so much, of course I'm going to miss him terribly! He's been such a wonderful man to have in my life...he is taking the best care of me! I will miss having him to hold me after my long nights at work, and going out to Dairy Queen at 930 at night for Brownie Batter Blizzards HA! :) He's telling his family about the baby while he's up there...he told me he thought he would tell them today, which gave him time to get home and see them and then he would have the rest of the week to talk to them about it...he seems to think they will be happy but shocked. They didn't think he was seeing anyone serious...which technically, he wasn't. But, you know how these things happen...I will never, ever call this an accident...it's a blessing. God has a reason for everything...and who am I to call it an accident? I know Chris feels the same way...this wasn't planned, but this also isn't a burden. We're facing this with the thought that this is growth for both of us. We're going to get a house, we're going to have a family, and we're going to give this child the best life we can. And if that isn't growth, then I don't know what is!
As for this week, I work Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. The rest of this week I'm going to try to get together with all the people I've been kinda neglecting since I found out I was pregnant. I feel bad about it, but Chris and I have had a lot to talk about and have needed extra time together to support one another. I know Colleen has been going through a hard time with her grandmother slowly passing away...she hasn't gone yet, but she is very close...and she spends a lot of her free time up there with her...and I more than understand that. But, I would like to see her and spend some time with her before I get too busy with this baby and my family. I went and saw a movie with Barry last night since we were both bored. We went and saw The Kingdom of Heaven, and it was really good! I liked it! I got home close to 1AM last night because we saw the 955 showing...but, like I've said, I don't have too many late nights left for a while...I better enjoy them while I can! I'm suppose to go see Everet, Jay, Ben and Joy today after the party at Nanny's. I still haven't given Ben his gift that I brought back for him from Mexico. I won't stay there too long...I need to come home and hang up laundry and rest...like I said, I went to bed around 130, and I was awake at 745 having to pee so bad! So, I will want to come home and rest. I don't need to get sick...that's the LAST thing I need! That's about all the people I haven't seen in a while...and I miss them! I will try to make a better effort to see everyone. I also want to meet Chris's friends from around this area...I'm sure I'm gonna take a few days off during the week next month or so and go with him to meet his mom and dad and friends from Frostburg. I'm looking foward to it!! :)
Alright, I better go eat and get ready to go to my Nanny's for a long day of cooking, eatting and talking! I'll be back sometime to let everyone know how things are going...
