New Car...and shower info... So it is time for me to get a newer car. And the ONLY reason that is is for the baby. I love my sporty Acura coupe, but it is not very baby or child friendly. So I have been car hunting the past couple weeks. I have decided on a Chevy Trailblazer...now it is time to find the best deal i can get. I think that I may be close...may even get the car sometime next week. I have always like the Trailblazer, but I wanted to make sure I looked at a variety of cars so I made the right choice for what I want and what I want to spend.
Feeling a little under the weather so I decided to stay home today. But I have still been working. I am going to go and get my hair colored tomorrow and I am really happy about that!!! It has been like 4months and I am overdue for a color. Gonna keep it simple with a rich brown. It should turn out nice. This salon on Atlanta is the only one that I will let do a single process in my hair. I normally drive to TN to get the color done but I have found that if I just want something simple I can go to this salon.
I finally compiled my invite list for the Atlanta shower (we will be having a Tennessee shower as well). There were over 35 people on my list alone!!! And I know my mom is going to have at least 20 more to add to that!!!! It is going to be very interesting. One of my line sisters is going to be doing the invitations...she has a custom invitation business. The website is www.expressionsofpurpose.com. She is VERY talented!!!! I am actually having two showers that same weekend. The some of my sorority sisters will be giving me one on the following day. I am sure that I will be wore out by the end of the weekend.

Hospital Visit and more So yesterday was our February doctors visit and it went well...I was just happy that I didn't have to get naked!!!! We heard the heart beat on the Doppler...after a little manuvering by the Midwife to find the little tart (HAS TO BE A GIRL...since she was being difficult...lol). So I felt better...I don't know why I am always so worried...but I am. Maybe it is because all of the stress I have been under or maybe it is because of decisions that I made in the past that I think are going to pay me back during my pregnancy somehow...I don't know. But I am working on that. All the blood tests were normal/negative, but I have only gained 1 pound!!!! I thought that I was eating enough to gain more than that. Well I am about to let loose now and eat every darn thing so I can gain some weight!!!!!
After our appt we went to Northside Hospital here in Atlanta for our hospital tour. Yeah I know...it is a little early to be doing that, but the BD was anxious to do it and so was I. I have been to the L&D area of Northside before but it was even nicer than I remember. So I am UBER excited about delivering there...lol. All of the couples were due in like May and here I am only 14 weeks along and barely showing...I bet they were wondering what the heck I was going there...lol. One of the other highlights of the visit was my first visit to McDonald's in I don't know how long. They have one in the hospital that is open 24 hours (why there is a Mickey D's in a HOSPITAL is beyond me). OMG!!!! Those fries were so good...I forgot how good they were. I could have just kept eating them...and I kinda did...I was taking the BD's fries. And I know how much he hates to share his food....but he didn't say anything so I kept taking...lol. Well I guess I should get my butt out of bed now. I am going to look at cars today. My cute little sports car is not going to work with having a baby so gotta get something with at least 4 doors!!!!! But I have always wanted an SUV so this is perfect!!!!!

Baby's 1st concert!!!!! So I went to the Jill Scott concert last night with the "baby daddy" (BD for short) and it was FABULOUS!!! I would see it again if I could get tickets. She did all my favorites even some that I thought that she would not do!!!! So that was the baby's first concert. I am going to be playing Jill Scott the whole pregnancy. I hope that does not mean that the baby will hate her music when he/she comes out.
I have an appointment on Tuesday for my monthly check up. My mommy is going to go with me. I am really excited about that since this is her first and probably only ever grandchild. She will get to hear the heart beat and that will be pretty cool too.
I feel like going to the movies but the one I want to see does not start until like 9pm...which means that I wont be going...lol. I will probably fall asleep...lol. So maybe I will just go to a mid day movie tomorrow (movies are like $10 at night now!!!!!)
Until next time...

Headache's, Headache's everywhere!!! Man...I keep getting these headaches. I mean it seems like everyday I get a new headache. And they are debilitating. They are always right behind my eyes and ALWAYS only on one side. t may be because there is so much chaos in my life right now...or it may be a symptom. I don't know but I am tired of having to take Tylenol.
I am having a really hard time in my relationship...we just are not seeing eye to eye. Or maybe I should say that he is not seeing anything but his point of view. Besides the fact that he keeps calling me names and telling me how I feel. I mean are all men like this. Maybe they are and I am just missing the boat.
I have to say that I really enjoy being able to write in this blog and document how I am feeling each step of the way with this pregnancy. I was going to do a handwritten or just a regular word document journal but this is so much easier. It is very therapeutic for me to be able to say what I am feeling even if I am just venting and getting it off my chest. I mean I am hormonal as heck and when I write something down and then re read it later sometimes I see it in a different light...not always, but sometimes...lol.
I think that I am going to go to Boston to visit my best friend sometime next month. She is going through a lot right now and she is always there for me when I am going through my heap of mess!!! And man that seems to always be a heap of mess...she has been there for me for the past 10 years at least. Nothing like having people that love you unconditionally and are there to pick you up when you fall flat on your face!!! So I will think about going the weekend before my birthday or the weekend after...or shoot maybe my birthday weekend would be the best time. I could go Friday morning since I have my birthday dinner on my birthday that Thursday. I have not thought out all the logistics yet but it is something that I am considering.
I am on a conference call for work right now that is making my headache worse. i am trying to to tune it out too much just in case I am called for something...lol.
