So, LJ doesn't inform me of comments on my posts when I use the app. Cool.

On an unrelated note, I sure feel like I could use a drink. I'm torn because I don't want to waste milk and I know that once I have one I'll want more. But I really want a way to relax that isn't sleeping.

Forrest says to me this morning, "So, part of me wants a fifth baby." He said he never felt like he needed a fourth baby, but now that Miranda is here he kind of wants another one. He says part of it is because he'd like another boy, and part of it is simply because he regrets his vasectomy. (He's been having some long term pain and swelling, but ( Read more... )

That's right. We are never going to have to work again! Sort of. So, as you may know, Forrest is considered unemployable by the VA, which means he gets about $3000 a month in disability money. A while back he found out about a caregiver program they offer that pays a family member to be a caregiver to a disabled veteran. We're almost done with the ( Read more... )

Well, the little monster is out of me! She is tiny, and way more laid back than I expected. She doesn't even really cry. After what was a great start to breast feeding she developed some latching issues and I've decided to just pump instead. It was too painful to try and figure things out. She can't even use a nipple shield, and the whole thing ( Read more... )

So it turns out Forrest's mom is leaving the 22nd. She's driving from Idaho, so she wants to be able to keep things flexible, but I'm assuming she only has the one week off from work. That means I have to have this baby before I hit 41 weeks or else we're screwed on finding someone to watch our kids. Maybe having a deadline will encourage this baby ( Read more... )

I want to have this baby so badly, but I just realized I can't relax enough for it to happen while my grandma is here. I just don't trust her enough to be able to take care of things for a day or so. She's been all weird and anti-social today, there's no way she could entertain the kids or even get Vivienne to take a nap. She refused to give Audrey ( Read more... )

I took a long, hot bath this morning hoping that it might get labor started since it made labor progress so quickly with Audrey. It didn't do anything. A then I took a shower. When I got out and went to get some clothes Forrest was n the phone in the studio. I was talking to Vivienne when I heard Harrison yelling that he went poop. Dressed only in ( Read more... )

Old people are the worst. I don't know if it's just because I'm massively pregnant and dying to get this baby out of me, but my Grandma is driving me crazy. She's just so clueless and lame. She really thought she could just put dirty dishes in the dishwasher without washing me off first, which you can't. Of course, my mom tried that crap too, only ( Read more... )

I am so thankful that Forrest's PTSD isn't very bad anymore. That shit makes everyone crazy. Granted, his was never very bad because he didn't see too much action, so the problem has mainly been his anger and lack of patience. Before we met he did have a lot of guilt, which is still there to an extent. Guilt about not helping orphaned Iraqi ( Read more... )

Holy fuck. New Mexicans are awful! Not only are so many of them just absolutely stupid, the majority are ghetto as fuck and unbelievably rude. I can't even handle it. And I fell so racist about it because a lot of the white people are just fine. It's the Indians and the Hispanics that are ridiculous.
