Still working on that baby blog, but here's some new shit!
So... Erik consumes a lot of my time (hence why there is no "baby blog" yet), and that I think is absolutely wonderful! I love it, being uncomfortable the last month or so, and especially that last two weeks of my over due pregnancy were so worth bringing this little man into my life! He is so incredible and perfect!
I was absolutely, 100% correct with my conclusion that lead me to believe that the stupid, repetitive questions don't end with labor and delivery. Now I think I should get a shirt made up with his picture and birth facts on it! If course I mind a tiny bit less talking about my oh so perfect angel! He IS just grrreat! Although the annoyingly pointless, and unappreciated advice continues... The MOST stupid advice award must go to, "baby talk is just fine, but once they start talking in full sentences it usually best to cool it with the baby talk..." DUH! Do I look like a brain dead bimbo? NO! Skot and I both know quite a bit about human development and how the brain works, develops, and functions. Plus look at what I do for work... I have a very good sense of what is age appropriate, and what is not.
I've had quite a bit of wonderful support from fellow mothers; Abbie, Teah, Heather Flood, Phoebe, my cousin Trish- Oh my gosh! You ladies just rock! Seriously. I have the most wonderful support system of strong willed ladies who have already been there, done that, and I could not appreciate you all more!
Then I have a miniature list of ladies who I was pregnant with and got to share some pretty cool experiences with; again my cousin Trish, Brie, Steff, and most of all NICOLE! You ladies all rock in a very special way!
That is not to exclude the wonderful amounts of support I have received from all of my friends; mothers or not! I love you all<333
On a side note I am really not looking forward to going back to work... The new Director of Resident Care... well, I just think that we are going to butt heads. I met her the day before I started maternity leave and all that I have heard since being on leave is how many changes she has made... it pretty much sounds like she rode in on a high horse and no one has yet to knock her down... her and all the changes she made. I suppose I could just go back and suck it up till August and take a nice long, PAID, two week vacation (MINIMUM), and in that time search for new possibilities. Easy Transitions perhaps... I would like a job like that as I know it was allow me to be home more with Erik, yet make slightly more money and not work nearly as many hours. Oh shit, now the gears in my head are turning at high speeds... In the long run, I am not really sure what I will do. I do know I need to work or else I will go stir crazy. I also know that I want a job that has a low stress level, allows me to work semi-independently, and that enables me to spend as much time with Erik, or should I say my family ( :-) ) as possible! Its sad to actually think about the fact of jobs that keep me happy long term. The only job that comes to mind really is DSSC. My first long term job after high school graduation, and the result of my turning down relocating to Florida for the Replacement Reserve Report. Ya know. Looking back on the RRR job... at the time in my life when I was working there I should have up and left and went to Florida; it would have been the smartest and most logical move for me to make, mentally and mostly financially. Although had I done that things surely would not be how they are right this very moment, and that to me would not be worth any sacrifice.... Humm? From Sacrifice to Survival?! I think I should listen to that right now!!!!
Ok, Skinless it is!!! Speaking of, thats one of the first shows that I went to el prego! One of the first concerts Erik heard via belly!!! I've told myself a zillion times that I was going to make a little list of the concerts I went to while pregnant and now I think would be quite the promising time:

Deftones
Stone Sour

Morpheus
Mongrel
The Jonee Earthquake Band

Oh yeah! I am one metal momma! Hence the new DL.Net blog MetalMama. I think this will be my first post there as well.
I am cutting myself off from these side tracking blogs until I finish up my scattered ramblings about having Little E, so until next time I hope this is enough to keep ya content!!!
Oh a few other things actually!!!
Sunday. Skot and I go to KMart to pick up this AWESOME baby vibrating/lounger/rocker for Erik as he loves to be rocked, so yeah common sense right? Well, we were dead set on going to KMart for this purchase because my employer sent Erik a gift cirtificate to the mall so again common sense. Now as for the sales associates, thats what lacks the common sense here. I swear we were in KMart for over an hour just to be told that they didn't have any on the floor, out back in stock, or "up stairs" and the fool that was assisting us, at first didn't even know that there was an up stairs stock area.
I realize a sales associate for KMart might not be the most satisfying, or well paying job, but effin' A man. People select your store for certain purchases for certain reasons, and despite whatever those reasons may be, in the wonderful words of Carlos Mencia, don't be a dee-de-dee about the situation! Thanks!
Oooh, good thing I am wrapping this up... I just got peed on!
Hope you all enjoyed that last bit!
