I'm terrified

Is it completely awful that I am terrified to give birth? Not for the pain. I can deal with pain. I am terrified because I hate going to the OB and showing him my hoo ha let alone having it on display for however long labor will take and with more people around!

I know that once I go into labor all I will care about is getting the baby out of me safely and quickly but until then I have quite a while to think about it.

Then the other option, C section, makes me even more crazy! I've seen the operation taking place and it's absolutely positively DISGUSTING!!! I have an extremely weak stomach so blood and cuts and anything along those lines makes me disgusted. Thinking about a doctor slicing open my stomach and pushing my organs around and just digging around in there for a baby creeps me out.

Did anyone else go through this? It makes me feel like an awful mom :-(

Sorry that it's been a while

I have been trying to stay really busy until Monday. We had our 20 week check up at the doctors yesterday. Everything is good. We have our anatomy scan Monday at 2 so I am really trying to just make time fly until then.

One thing I do want to blab about is people asking me what I am having. ITS SOOO ANNOYING!!!!

Facebook is a wonderful invention. Everyone knows your most important news because of course you are going to post it as your status. But apparently people are just inconsiderate and nosy and don't think that I will post what we are having as soon as we know.

I have had constant nosy people asking me what I am having ever since like 15 weeks! People I rarely talk to and mean little to nothing to my life (like those people who add you just to be nosy and you know who they are but you never actually talk to).

Is it just me or does it annoy other people? It's like seriously? Be at least a little considerate seriously. If I know and you are a friend on my facebook trust me you will know too. Asking me once a day until you get an answer just makes me stressed out and frustrated so stop being so self centered.

It's like I don't even talk to you! And it's not just one person, it's several. It's becoming ridiculous. I get that pregnancy is exciting but if we don't talk and aren't really friends is it really any of your business? And isn't it really rude that you talk to me when it's convenient for you to know something but not any other time?

I don't even know if this post is going to make sense to anyone because I'm pretty sure my frustration led the writing of this but I needed to get this out. I am so annoyed by it.

It's not like I can delete them from my facebook either because it's like they have me on alert and as soon as they get notified that we are no longer friends or as soon as they try and snoop and can't because my page is private they send me a message saying "What did I do that we are no longer "friends?"

I don't know what to do. I shouldn't let it get to me but I just can't stand nosy people like that. I would LOVE to be able to tell everyone that I am having a boy or a girl BUT I don't know!!! It's only frustrating to have to say I don't know yet every 5 minutes to someone new or repeatedly to the same person.

If I'm crazy then I'm crazy but I have pregnancy hormones to blame it on so HA!

I have to go babysit for a little while (which is going great by the way).

I'll keep you updated as I can. Thanks for listening to me babble!

Belly obsessed

This is the first post of the day. I am almost positive there will be one more.

I dropped the little girl I baby sit for off at daycare today and was mauled, nearly molested, by a 2 year old little boy. Apparently he is obsessed with bellies? I had on a hoodie and a north face over my hoodie so there was no way he could tell I was pregnant, he is really just obsessed with touching people's bellies. How strange is that?

I thought he just wanted a hug until he tried lifting my shirt up. Little creeper. Makes you wonder about his parents...


Anyways, I am off to get ready for my "photo shoot" for my mommy blog! I'm excited :-)

Have a great day :-)

It's official!

I am a mommy blogger!! I posted a while ago about the potential opportunity to join the mommy blogging team for Onslow Memorial Hospital and I got the call today saying I got the job!! I am soo excited!

I get to blog about my pregnancy and for about a month after the baby is born. Then hopefully something will open up in the Cuddle Bugs section and I can continue blogging for another 5 months :-)

I even get to go have a professional photo taken to accompany my blog, you know like authors have on the back of their books. How cool is that!?!?

This is such an awesome opportunity and I will talk more as well as post my new link as soon as I get it all set up!

Yay for exciting news!

I've been gone

I know I know, I haven't blogged in a while. Life got busy. I don't even remember what my last post was about.

Anyways, yesterday was baby's 19 week mark! We are almost at the 4 month mark already. Time does fly I suppose. We have our 20 week check up next tuesday but still no date for the anatomy scan which, excuse my language, pisses me off! I called, they called back and said that they would be calling me back soon with an appointment. That was whenever my last post about it was. Well, they haven't called back. I called and left another voicemail last Thursday I believe, still no call back. I keep calling and getting either a busy line or a voicemail. I have no idea what they are doing there but it's certainly not their job.

The lady I babysit for is some officer in the navy and runs the labs at the hospital. She told me that if I wasn't getting the proper quality of care that I need to call Tricare and let them know and they will send me to an off base doctor. Well HELLOOOO!!! I wish I knew that one before. So now I am going to go to my appointment on Tuesday and after that I am going to call Tricare and demand they switch me off base.

If they were packed with people due in March then they should have sent some off base. Pushing back our appointments by MONTHS is definitely NOT ok. I am so aggravated by them. I can't believe their excuse for pushing back an ultrasound I am supposed to get at 20 weeks until about 24 weeks is that there are a lot of women who are due in March and they just don't have that many appointment times. Well then you probably should have thought of that when tricare asked you if you had the space for me or if I should go off base. SOOOOOO ANNOYING!!!

On a positive note, I started working again Monday. I have to wake up around 5:50 on normal days and 5:30 on days when she has duty but the bus picks him up by 8 usually and so I am home around 8:10 to take a nice nap. Then  I go back at 3:30 to wait for the bus and then we do his homework and eat a snack and wait for his parents to come home around 4:30 or 5ish.

It's a pretty sweet deal. I get my days off except for the days when he has a 1/2 day or there is a school holiday. He does have a temper but I knew he would occasionally. He is a sweet kid though. The only real hard part is having to wake up so early but I'm sure my body will get used to the schedule and fix that exhaustion eventually. I usually go to bed by 9, 10 at the latest. But being pregnant makes me tired all the time.

But anyways, it is keeping me busy which I like. And it's bringing in more money which I also like.

I need to go spend some quality time with my puppy. I'll try and be a better blogger.
