This is going around all over facebook. You have to write 25 random facts about yourself, which I thought would be easy, but really wasn't at all. Here's mine ( Read more... )

Still no computer yet, but I'm at my mom's so I figure I'll update. I was going to post a really hilarious story about how the Isuzu broke and how I drove it 30 minutes to my mom's down I-85 with a broken exhaust, but I don't really have the energy. To summarize, between the speed and the ungodly noise of not having a working exhaust, I felt like I ( Read more... )

So I have not faded into oblivion, just all my stuff decided to break at once. First my dinosaur back up computer got a virus that has killed it beyond repair and then Ben's laptop fell apart (with 15 days left on the warranty, phew!) so I am computer-less for awhile except when I'm at my mom's house ( Read more... )

So I'm in week 25 of my pregnancy and I do not believe I can endure another 15 weeks of it. I realize that complaining about a situation that I got myself into in the first place is not very productive, but I need some catharsis. Let me start by saying that it is entirely possible that I will not be able to breast feed because I'm seriously ( Read more... )

I'll start with the AWESOME news. The Maternal Fetal Specialist called back and said the amniocentesis results came back completely normal and that everything was fine. This was on my way to work on Wednesday. I seriously thought it would be later than that, so it was an extremely pleasant surprise. I'm kind of pissed at the doctor who suggested I ( Read more... )

Just wanted to send a big eff you to my apartment complex for having what might be the crappiest pipes in the history of apartments. For the third time this year there has been a water main break. Actually, its also the second time in 3 months. I left sdunn711's today pretty much when I woke up without showering with the intention of doing so when I got ( Read more... )

I had the amnio today, and all went well. It was a little weirder than I expected. For starters, I thought the needle they pierced my ears with at Kolo in Little Five Points was a big gage, but this thing might as well have been as thick as a pencil (it, of course, was not, but it felt that way). Not to mention I did not realize it took 10 years to ( Read more... )

Update on the last post:

sistrmoon was absolutely right. I called the OB and they are, in fact, sending me to a maternal fetal specialist for a more detailed ultrasound this Friday. At least I don't have to wait too long to figure out what's up. I did a little independent research and as I was told, its not uncommon for this to show up on an ultrasound and ( Read more... )

It's definitely been awhile since I've posted. Things just keep piling up, and my energy level is waning. I had my ultrasound this Friday, and its definitely a boy. Everything was normal except that one of his kidney's measured above average. The ultrasound tech didn't say anything about it until after the ultrasound when I asked, "Is everything ( Read more... )

After carefully considering the responses I received to my question about pro-choice ideas from lj, facebook, and other debate forums, I contructed my argument for being pro-life. I hope that those of you who are pro-choice and read it can appreciate my passion for our Constitutional rights and my respect for human life in any form ( Read more... )
