As the title says, we found a place and moved since I last updated. Our primary struggle was finding a place that would allow us to move in without verification of income because we’ve been surviving off of income tax returns, student loans and grant money from college. We have enough to pay everything, but ovbiously landlords want to cover their ( Read more... )

My husband really is awesome. Gracie is on a backwards sleep schedule and seems to think around 10pm is naptime and wakes up in the middle of the night and then goes back to bed and sleeps until late afternoon. Well, he got up with her at 6am and let me sleep. He had an appointment at 9am and he woke me up at 8:30 to take him, then we got back and ( Read more... )

I think I’m having a hormonal day because I’ve felt on the verge of tears all damn day and every little thing makes me want to break down and cry.

I also had my 17 week appointment today and that frustrated me even more because I think my doctor was in a rush. I briefly heard the nurse mention to him something about being at the hospital at 3:30 ( ( Read more... )

Last night I got to spend from about 10:30 until approximately 1 a.m. in the ER, no thanks to Randy’s back and lack of insurance even though we applied for him in October. We got notice like 3 weeks ago that he was finally approved for the state insurance, but it didn’t kick in until April 1st. This entire time he’s been home he hasn’t had his ( Read more... )

I’m on the search for new blogs to read. I generally like pretty much anything, but am drawn more towards blogs where people focus on them. I don’t mind reading daily happenings and such. I’m not really a fan of craft, food, makeup, etc blogs though.

On the job front, Randy FINALLY got through to the hiring manager at Kraft and he said he’ll look ( Read more... )

Yesterday I had an appointment for the baby where I got the full monty including a pap smear, breast exam, a full medical history and the ultrasound. I really love my gyno though. He’s constantly making jokes the whole appointment. It’s a little hard to lay still when he’s got a never ending comedy show going on though. Baby is measuring just fine ( Read more... )

I watch Randy apply for job after job and I cannot help but be so frustrated at the entire process. The question that never fails to appear on any application is “Have you been convicted of a felony?” and “Explain.” It is usually followed by “This does not mean you are excluded from being hired blah blah blah.”

Let’s get right to the point here. ( Read more... )

Randy and I have been conflicted about what to do regarding our living situation. We currently live about 1.5 hours away from where either of our families do and we visit once a week or so. It’s too much driving and gas for my liking. I also despise my Sunfire because it’s cramped and lacks cruise control so I hate being in it any more than I have ( Read more... )

I wrote this yesterday but didn’t post for some reason. So um yeah imagine it’s still Monday.

We had our first prenatal appointment today and everything is measuring well. I’m due on September 17th and measuring about 9 weeks 2 days at the moment. We opted not to get the ultrasound pic yet because baby is still looking awfully ET-like still. The ( Read more... )

Well the cat is out of the bag everywhere else (family, facebook, twitter) so why not here too? Randy and I are expecting #2 and we’re both ecstatic about it. YAY for 2012 babies! The pic may not show it as clearly but it’s definitely a positive.
