Everytime I turn to CNN, it's about Iraq, Iran or Afghanistan. Quite honestly, its getting really old. This war is dragging so much and so far. I would love to watch Anderson Cooper, but all he talks about is the war lately. Can't we watch something happier? Even turning on to the local Detroit news, it is pretty much the same thing except its about who was murdered that day. It's so depressing. Please!!
Aren't there happier things in this world to watch besides death and war?????

Family and Friends
Sometimes you see people's true colors at a time when you need them the most but don't ask them for their support. I have a few people to mention. I've been thinking about this for a while now as I am getting closer to the end of my pregnancy.
First is my family. My family is the best ever. I have their support whenever there is nothing going on in my life. My sister, parents and Rob are so important to me these days. They have been the best group of people in my life. Rob has been so supportive and I tell people that I don't know how he hasn't kicked me out of the house yet from my complaining about the aches and pains and the other "situations" that have happened. My parents are some of the most selfless people I have ever met in my life. Why was I chosen to have them in my life? They are the best people on the planet. If anyone knows them, they will understand what I mean. And my sister, I can't imagine not having her around to be there for me. And lately she's started to take me out to lunch. Her and I don't dine together, it's not something we do together. Eating is not something that she is not fond of but it's so cute that we are together just talking and seeing each other. She's got a really good heart.
The next person I want to mention is a really good friend of mine. She has come through for me during this time and she has surprised me the most as I have never expected this out of her. She has called when I said that I would call her. She has helped me through some of my crying during a situation. She is in constant contact with me and I can't even get the chance to call her because she'll email me or beat me to it. I can't keep up with her!! I won't or can't forget this. No one understands how important this is to me that she has been there for me 110%.
The next group of people are the girls I work with at my one store. I had a really bad day yesterday at work and I had some of the best advice given to me. These people to me are the best group of girls in any store that I have been at. Really great girls. But I see them as more angelic than anything. All of them are mothers and wives and I think that they have directed me on paths that I didn't know what to take. I really don't know how I could ever repay them for the kind advice over the years. I hope they know that whatever they need I will be there for them.
The last group are the rest of my friends. All of the thoughts and the phone calls are just something I will never forget. I know sometimes I become distant, but I do think about you guys all the time and most of the time I am truly busy or just trying to rest. But I know that I will repay all of you at some point in my life. Something will come up and I will try to be the same as you have been to me during this time.
I don't think I am expressing myself as well as I am trying to in this blog, but this is the best I can do to try and let certain people know that I am very appreciative of what has gone on.
Thanks again everyone.

Officially in my 3rd trimester
Wow...time flies. It's here. I am in the home stretch and now have to start thinking about going into labor. My guess would be that I will go early. I don't know why I am thinking this way, but I believe I will be early.
There are some great things that have happened to me while I have been pregnant. First and foremost, I have NO ALLERGIES. No itchy throat, no runny nose, and no itchy eyes. This is just too good. I can breathe this summer. The other great thing is my hair is really thick and curlier. I notice that I don't pull out any hair strands and there is barely any hair on the floor of the bathroom these days. I hope these 2 things last forever.
I know many people have been asking what the name of the baby is going to be and the name we have chosen is James Peter. James being Rob's middle name. It will not be shortenend unless he chooses to shorten it in his life. And he won't be called JP.
I also wanted to post a big thank you to my family and my friends, especially my family for helping me out so far. My mother has been amazing through this and I know how excited she is as well as my sister and father. They are going to make the best grandparents and aunt in the whole world. Rob has also been the best husband to a pregnant woman. He has taken good care of me through this whole thing as busy as he is. Listening to me complain and cry, I don't think I would have made it without someone so patient.
I have so many friends to thank for asking me how I am doing and watching out for me. Even Aunt Laura. I will remember these things as time goes on. And I do appreciate every phone call or email I have recieved. I hope I can return this to some of my friends in the future.

14 weeks to go!!
1 more week and I am out of my 2nd trimester. I can't believe this. It's gone by so fast and there is still so much to do.
Tonight I think I felt my first 2 contractions. It was pretty cool. Very light and not at all painful. They were about 3 minutes apart. It's also really hard to comprehend that within 9 months time a human being is created and ready to be part of the world. That is not a long time at all. But time flies.....
One major task that was accomplished yesterday was that we have chosen the name of the baby. We have finally agreed to a name that we both like. I don't want to post this yet as things may change, but I highly doubt they will at this point. I can't wait to share with everyone.

Our Cat - Kitty
Here is a recent photo of our cat. My friend Sue came over the other night and she dropped off a whole bunch of baby items. Well, Kitty has decided that she is taking one over for herself, as you can tell by the photo.

Keeping comments to yourself
Not that this is bothering me or anything, but why is it that some people just can't keep certain comments to themselves? I work with mostly women. And I am very close to them, but there is one male that I work with that has commented on my weight every week that I see him at work. It doesn't bother me and I laugh about it but today he proceeded to tell me that I am getting really big. After he made this comment and all I could do was say "yeah," I heard him say as I was walking away, that this is normal in my condition.
Whatever.
I know I've gained weight. I see it, I feel it and I am living it. I enjoy so much when people acknowledge that I am pregnant without having to tell them that I am. It makes me happy.
When I first told this individual I was pregnant, he didn't congratulate me but rather he "noticed that I have put on excess weight." I went home and laughed about it. How could you not?
Yes, I put on weight before I was pregnant and I have alot of work to do, but please be sensitive to pregnant women as the weight gain is hard to take but it has to happen.

Nintendo DS
I did it!! I bought the new Nintendo DS Lite. I am so excited because I even saved $20 by buying it at Walmart. I can't wait to get using this. I've been a freak of nintedo for about 17 years now and I am looking forward to all the new games and teaching my son to use it! Woohoo! I feel like a kid again.
first blog
This is my very first blog! I can't believe I am doing this, but after some inspiration from a couple of people, I thought that I should blog some of my thoughts. I've been contemplating this for a long time.
I am 5 months pregnant carrying a baby boy. I am so thrilled to have him come into our lives. I can't wait anymore.
So with that, I want to start documenting what I can so that I remember how I have felt or what the baby has done as a milestone. It's also a great way to communicate to others what me and my family have been doing in the recent days.
That's it for now....hope you enjoy my journey!
