Hello...I'm huge!

Hey Everyone!

Well, I have 37 days until little man gets here and I am feeling HUGE!  Doctor says I'm fine, but I'm freaking out about losing all this weight after he gets here.  Please pray for me. 

Yesterday, my angelic twin took me clothes shopping.  She was so patient when I had to stop and sit down.  She must be sick of my always being sick and out of breath.  I love ya' Cast!  Thanks for putting up with me!  Anyway, we went looking for outfits for our baby and had a great time being mushy over them.  Actually, she and her husband bought an adorable outfit for our baby to wear home from the hospital.  It says "little prince".  SOOOOOOOOOOOO cute!!!  I got a modest set of pajamas to wear at the hospital and around the house afterward.  I also got a really cute little girl outfit for my best friend Bambi.  His wife is having a girl in January.  I'm so excited that the kids will be able to play together.  I am trapped in a world of incredible cuteness y'all!!!! 

Well, that's about it from here.  Oh, there's oodles more going on, but I'm really tired and the macaroni and cheese that I have craved ALL DAY is really making me sick now.  So, God bless and I'll be back soon.

I'm Baaaaaaaacccccccckkkkkkkkkkkk........

Hi all!  I'm back...

It's been quite a while and, as life would have it, a lot has changed.  Hmmm...let's start with what hasn't changed, shall we?

I'm still having a baby.  It's a little boy and he's due on October 13th.  (Which is the same day that my identical twin had her daughter!  Only, that was 13 years ago.)  I'm still very sick.  It seems that all the scar tissue from when I was run over by a car is tearing as I gain baby weight and let-me-tell-ya, it HURTS LIKE NOBODY'S BUSINESS!!!  But, we are getting closer and closer to due date and then it should be done.

I am working at a desk in our warrant division.  If you're wanted, it's my job to try and find ya...  It's a pretty good group of people, so I really appreciate it.

Due to my constant illness and diminished lung capacity (another consequence that a drunk driver left me with), I am banned from climbing stairs or being in the heat for more than 10 minutes at a time.  A couple of weeks ago, D finally gutted my beautiful garden.  It was sad, but very overgrown and neglected.  I'll get back to it next year...  ::mournful sigh::

I did manage to pick a few peppers (jalepeno and serrano) from the kitchen window garden.  Today, I pickled them.


When I have the energy, I cook.  So far, I'm just trying desperately to get ready for the arrival of our little man.  It's difficult since his room is upstairs and I am not really able to go up and down right now.  :(

OK, enough whining.  Not much longer and I'll be back in the swing of things.  I'll try to post more often and more positive.

God's blessings!!!
