32 weeks and 5 days today...
So I owe the world a pic of my belly. Sigh. I went from not showing to Bam baby! hehe. Finn is definately a big baby already... can't wait for him to coooommmmeeee out... ;->
My Mom recently came to visit and OMG I love my mom. Since we live paycheck to paycheck right now, money is tight... like $4 in our bank account tight. eeek. So my mom had already given us a $500 gift card for our crib... yet it still doesnt have a matress... we have 8 more weeks to buy one. but then when she visited she gave us another gift card for $150. If you know my parents, they arent rich, so the cards she's given me made me want to break down and start crying... Its hard when you walk thru babies r us and look at the things you want and can't afford. but to know when your mom who should be saving her money, gives you theses small gifts... I still can't find the words to express my gratitude towards my mom. I could only hug her alot! Course as feet change places... when my I left for germany on the plane, my mom cried and bawled at the airport... when she left this time, I was the one who cried and bawled at the airport... sigh. You can tell we are related.
So. I am writing a journal/letter to Finn, I have a baby book that I just finished my side of the family tree on... Bryce says he has to call his mom for the info on his side... The book goes up to Great grandmother... Mindy's grandmother... I think... But Bryce said he would try to get print outs going all the way back to Scotland. Why Bryce has issues talking to family... He notes he loves them, but is not a talkative person. He even noted how weird it was to talk to me so much on the phone. I told him its because I made him call me and I kept the convo going. hehe.
I FOUND A HALLOWEEN BLACK CAT OUTFIT FOR FINN!!!!!!!! Yeah. something with ears hehe. Been looking for a baby black cat cap but only found bears and dogs, oh and a monkey.
Part of me so wishes I could be in Carrollton to deliver, we would have both families there, My friends and Bryces for support... If I could fly Chrissy or Larissa here... oh... and so many others I wish could be here... but alas we are in Washington, no family no friends.
I have to find a job for the 8th and 9th month of my pregnancy... we can't afford for me to sit on my a.., but can we afford daycare... note the wishing to be near family. But Bryce does not like Texas and hates the heat and landscape and just refuses to go back.
We still need to discuss when family to come visit after baby, thanksgiving, xmas... make it simple if we were Greek I guess... family would swarm us instead, hehe. I fantasize, I know.
All this before "Valentines day event", then I really will be acting like a single mom...
Learning Sign language to speak to Finn with... Thanks for the Idea Neil K.
I have decided to go to Nursing school, but getting in is harder than it was in High school. I need to be able to support Finn on my own, then when Bryce gets out of the army, support him too, so he can finish school. School, baby, full time job!
I can do this. I know I can.
Breath...
I am sure I will be on again in a few weeks. My computer days seem to be limited with volunteering with Red Cross and then sleeping as a Preggy does, then trying to set up school and baby classes and oh water aerobics... mispelt it... I know...
Love all!
Tea
p.s. will have a belly pic soon!
