Childbirth Preparation Class
So last night was the first class of 7. I got there before my husband because he had his own class to go to and it ended when mine started. We had to write down our names on a paper with our due dates and our Dr's names and pin them to our shirts... then we waited a while for the other people to come. I met a girl there right away her husband wasnt coming to this class this time and I told her mine was running late. I think out of the 8 couples there only 3 of us were married, one couple seemed younger than us and my husband and I are 22 yrs old so we are young ourselves. The Nurse/Instructor was awesome, she told us a little bit about herself, she has 3 kids, she is very funny and very passionate about what she does and she used to work in the cancer unit. So she is very understanding and caring. She used my husband and I as examples for one of the exersizes because I complained of upper back pain and she said it was from my spinal cord and so she had me sit in a chair and my husband got on the floor on his knees and had to push me back by my knee caps and what it does is straightens out your spine and it takes the pressure off for a bit, it helped... Then she told me to sleep on my back which has been impossible because i cant breathe but she said use two pillows to place my arms on to my sides and what that does is open up your rib cage and gives your lungs more space to expand... anyhow, this class is a lot of fun facts and i cant wait to go to the next one next thursday, we will start to do the floor exersizes so we have to wear gym shoes and sweat pants and bring pillows and a blanket... i cant wait.. its worth the money, they teach you so much and give you information that you may have forgotten or never learned... and the people are all fun. All the ladies in my class are either 29-32 weeks...so we are all at the same stage of pregnancy..I also had my dr's appt yesterday before the class, blood pressure is normal she said 124/74 and pulse was 114. Urine was fine i wasnt sooo dehydrated as last time, we talked for a while and she kept saying how funny i am cuz i showed her i cut my pants where the belly is because they were getting tight and she said who would notice you can wear them everyday and i told her i do wear them every day they are the most comfortable ones out of the two pairs i have... she had a good laugh with me she said her husband didnt wanna go to the classes with her even if she wanted to (she is 34 wks pregnant) and i know what you are thinking how is she gonna help me give birth when she is ahead of me, well she is the other dr i have two, this one does everything but the ultrasounds and the other dr is more busy with ultrasounds and delivery she is nice also...ok thats all for now, i go back to the dr in 2 weeks on 17th of April, again just the usual visit blood pressure, urine sample, hear beat of the baby weight , oh by the way the baby's hear beat was awesome as usual and I didnt want to know my weight so i didnt look and i told her not to tell me what it is.. i am sure i am very very heavy!

sick of people
I am so sick of people and their lame ass excuses and their lies.. do people really think that because you're pregnant you have lost your ability to tell the truth from a lie?
One girl who was invited to the baby shower never confirmed she was coming and I called her to ask and she as always said the wrong date, I know when she is lying because she always starts off saying "oh it was sat right?" instead of the correct date of lets say Sunday in this case.. and then I go on to say (even though I already know she is lying) no it was Sunday and did you get the wrong date again.. and blah blah same old b.s. as always, and she said that she was gonna check to see if she can switch shifts and today she told me she couldnt... which I knew she would say.. whatever, I am so sick of people and their poor ass excuses, this is not what you call a friend, these type of people you dont need in your life and certainly not in the baby's life either.. I would rather not have any friends and be with my family only all the time than to actually have to listen to one more lie from a person who calls themselves my friend! puleeez! Some excuses are necessary like my other friend who got married yesterday and would like to spend the weekend with her husband and i understand that and she was honest with me and honesty is the only way people i mean c'mon i am not stupid lying to me isnt gonna gain you anything especially not respect from me... anyhow, just irritated by the dumbass people who think i am freaking stupid and i dont need this shit, everyone can kiss my ass and i will no longer make any efforts to keep these people in my life. there is just no point to it.. its a freaking two way street and I am so tired of being the only one trying well i am done trying. Thats it for me, people cant expect to only be there for the fun times real friends will stick with you through your hard times and help you out and the only help i've seen is from family... friends are over rated!

29 weeks + pregnant So I just wanted to come here and write to thank all the people that have been supportive throughout the pregnancy and all the people that really were there for us (my family) and God most of all because he gave me this precious little angel and he watches over us and makes sure we are safe and healthy. My pregnancy overall has been an easy one. No complications, no vomiting, and i really am so glad... i mean of course i felt sick as hell in the morning for 12 or so weeks and yes i had to go to the dentist and miss a week of work and had some fevers and things and even have an infection from the HPV but overall those are small things. there could have been many many more and bigger complications and there werent and still arent so i am very blessed to be able to go through this wonderful and scary experience without any complications. I love being pregnant, yeah i gained a lot of weight, i believe up to 30 some pounds now but who cares, it will all come off after the baby is born, i will make sure it does. I know its not over yet and there are still weeks of discomfort and no sleep until the baby is born but i just love it. I look good pregnant what can i say, my husband is way more attracted to me now than ever before and i love me, i have only put on make up one time (new years) but he says i look better without makeup cuz i got that natural beauty.. i love my husband what a wonderful gift from God and he gave me my precious little girl so i love him more for that! i am going on and on about different things i know but thats how my mind works these days, from one thought to the next in matter of seconds.. sorry about that, hopefully i am not confusing or annoying anyone reading this.I really appreciate the people in my life who have been great with me and have offered me more help than i ever expected and day by day i realize that there is nothing more important than family and noone will be there for you the way you think they will be other than your family so i hope everyone has family out there like mine.. have gone above and beyond my greatest expectations.. and i have 2 wonderful friends who are both pregnant one is a month after me and is also having a little girl and one who is 2 months pregnant and i am glad that they both have also been amazing support to me and hopefully me to them as well. thats all for now i am sure i will rant on about other things soon again!
