Sorry no Pictures

Okay so I know I said I would try and get pictures up of the baby, but that won't happen. Our scanner is not hooked up and I'm too lame and lazy to figure out how to put it on here from my phone. I do have a picture up on facebook in the mobile uploads album if anyone is that interested. But there's not much to see as the baby is about the size of a bean.

The good news is that everything went well and everything looks normal. I've also been back to zumba. I haven't had any morning sickness but I pretty much feel nauseous throughout the day most days. And I really just want to lay around on the couch all day. I'll be nine weeks on Wednesday. I'll be happy to be out of this first trimester. I also am dying to know what we're having!! I don't understand how people can not find out these days. It would make me crazy!

In non baby news Joe had his wisdom teeth pulled earlier this week. So he's been home everyday and goes back tomorrow. He hasn't had too many problems except his gums had to get cut on one of them and he says it hurts like a bitch. And he also only had three wisdom teeth. Weird. He's a freak of nature apparently.

Since there's not a whole lot of exciting things in my life I have decided to take this time to write about all the reasons/things that I do not and still don't like about children and or parents. Quite frankly I never really wanted kids growing up and don't like enjoy other peoples children.

Okay first off, I hate listening to people brag about their kids. I know you love your child and are proud of them but not everything they do is fantastic. And they are not special or gifted like you think they are. Hell they're probably not even that cute. I may go to hell for saying this but not all babies are cute. There I said it. Some are just plain ugly and weird looking. Especially a newborn. I always dread the awkward moment of someone saying, "look at how cute he/she is!" Umm no not really. It looks like an old man. Now this also pains me to admit this but I know I will be that annoying mother that does all these things. I know this because I think that every stupid thing my cats do is adorable. I'm trying hard to accept this but it's a work in progress.

Baby Showers: I hate them. Don't get me wrong I have been to some fun baby showers. But most of them leave me wanting to stab myself. Cheesy games and watching you open your crap while someone takes a picture of every stupid gift like they've never seen a baby outfit before. And I have one rant to go on about cards. When was it decided that cards had to be passed around at showers of any kind?? I mean that card is for the person receiving the gift, not all the guest. Why should I give a crap what your aunt Betty wrote to you in a damn card? And more importantly it's really not my business. If you really feel the need to see somebody's elses card you have issues.

Now for the last thing I really wanted to show a clip from 'Sex and the City' where Miranda gives birth. I couldn't find the clip I wanted though. I did find a shortened version of that episode but they pretty much deleted that scene I wanted. Basically Miranda ask Carrie to make sure nobody acts, "all cheerleady" So no one saying clique things like, "You can do it!" and "Ohh he's perfect!" And when the nurse does all these things Miranda just looks at Carrie and Carries says "Nurse..don't." That pretty much sums up all my feelings about that.

I've been told that motherhood softens people. I'm not entirely sure about that. Guess I'll just have to wait and see on that one. I can handle a little softness but not big gobs of it. Going back to me thinking that everything my cats do is adorable here is a random video of when Mona was a kitten. Till next time friends.

Slight Interuption

As you may remember from my last blog I was doing the HCG diet and planning on giving an update of the halfway point. Well that didn't really happen as that diet has gone down the crapper like most things in my life. But this time for good reason. This girl has gone and gotten herself knocked up. That may explain why my weight loss progress went down hill on the diet.

When I first took the test I wasn't entirely convinced. Number one; hcg is the hormone that the pee test look for. But all the paperwork I had said that taking the hcg drops wouldn't give you a positive pregnancy test. I took one a week earlier just for shits and grins to see what would happen and it was negative. I had also taken one a few days before this and nothing happened. So I was a little skeptical at first. I quit taking the drops that day and four days later took the test again with positive results. Altogether I think I took about six. A little ridiculous maybe but I wanted to be sure before I went to the doctor and have the nurse say, "Umm you're not pregnant dummy."

While we're very happy and excited I'm disappointed I didn't get to finish the diet. I guess now that I know it works and I can do it again. But one of the reasons I even went on the diet was so I could get pregnant and not be a big fat gob of goo. I lost sixteen pounds and have probably gained a few back. I'm refusing to step on the scale because ignorance really is bliss sometimes. I'm also still twenty pounds heavier than I would like to be. I still have hardly any clothes that fit and can't stand the sight of myself. If I think about it, it makes me want to lock myself in the bathroom and never come out. But sigh it is what it is.

Tomorrow I go back to the doctor and hopefully will get to hear the heartbeat and maybe get pictures. But I don't know for sure, we'll just have to wait and see. Let's see what else is new....

I've only been back to zumba one time since finding out. I'm so tired and drained all the time that I just haven't had the energy. I guess it's better than throwing up all the time. I'm hoping to get back into the swing of things soon. I also started working to jobs again. But both part time, no sixty hour work weeks. My second job is subbing at Central Valley School District in case you forgot. I applied for a couple permanent positions but am not hopeful about getting any of them.

That's all I got for now. I'll be updating on how things are going and will hopefully get pictures tomorrow. *crosses fingers* I leave you now with a cuteness break.
