So we had a few people over to play games this weekend, and it was a freaking blast. We played Burbenog maps on Warcraft III, and I played a 3 (!!) hour game of Lords of the Realm. I'd forgotten how much I like to play games that aren't WoW. I love WoW, don't get me wrong, but it's a little refreshing to play something else. I'm such a lazy ass, I don't like learning to play new games because I don't have a ton of time to play, typically. This weekend I did, because Leo was gracious enough to single-handedly take care of Bridget while I played a little bit. We took turns, but it was nice to be able to completely veg for a few hours and play computer games.
Fun fun fun. I need to do this more often, I really do. Also, I really want a 360, but I only want it for one game. That's really really stupid, but the game is Beautiful Katamari, which we've had for about 10 months now. How silly. Khoa's letting us borrow his system, and I'm sure we'll have beaten it in about 3 hours, but still. I want one so I can bust it out whenever I want. Why not? $150, that's why not. Being poor sucks. Oh well.
I had a good weekend.

Man, I'm stealing a second to finally update this thing. I've been so busy, it's pretty insane. I have these hour-long periods during the day where I get to just hang out with Bridget, but my evenings have been nuts between work and school. Just plain nuts. So far it's really pretty nice being back in school. I feel a lot better about myself now that I'm doing things outside just sitting at home all day. Bridget is such an easy baby it makes me feel a lot like a bum. It's getting better, though.
Not a whole lot has been going on in the big scale of things. I haven't had much time to think lately. The one thing I have thought about is the health care issue. I really, really, really hope they get something passed. It baffles me how people could want those who can't afford health care to continue to suffer because they're poor. Not to mention, we're having to pay an arm and a leg for our health care, and we don't even have to pay a monthly deductible. I spent $70 the other day on two inhalers. And that's with insurance. It's insane. Plus, when I get pregnant again, I won't even be able to have my baby in the hospital I want. It just stinks. I hope something is done.
I'm sewing Bridget her Halloween costume this year. I really hope I don't mess it up. I also hope I have time to actually do it. I've got all the fabric cut out, but I've never used a pattern before. That's what has me really nervous right now. I guess we'll see!!
Well, Bridget's playing with the PS3 controller. I guess I should go wrangle her.

Right now I'm mostly just missing my grandmother. She died on Friday. We're flying down for her funeral on Thursday. It'll be neat to go back to New Orleans again, but I hate the reason. We're driving back because she left us her minivan, which is incredible since we really need one.
I don't have any grandparents left. I think I'm a little young for that.

This is going to probably be all squishy and stupid, but damnit, I need to write it somewhere.
Bridget is here! I can't believe I actually made something so gorgeous. She's perfect. I know I'm biased because she's mine, but good God, she almost looks too pretty to be mine. If I hadn't have birthed her, I don't think I'd believe it. And she's so so so good. She barely ever cries, and when she does she has a good reason, and then stops the second we do what she needs. It's incredible. So she's cute AND has an extremely wonderful temperament.
I absolutely cannot imagine loving anyone like I love my daughter. I love her more than anything on the face of this earth. And what's amazing, is that I love Leo just as much, but it's just such a different kind of love. I can't put it into words, really. And my love for Leo has grown infinitely since she was born, which is something I didn't really think was possible. He's such a good father, and it's so obvious he adores his child. I can't wait to see her grow up and to see what she's like, but at the same time I don't want her to leave this tiny baby stage, it's just incredible. I'm so truly blessed. I know it sounds cheesy and cliched, but I'm not really sure how else to say it. I guess those cliches are there for a reason.
Anyway, here she is!

So I went to the doctor today... And apparently I'm dilated a centimeter already. That's not very good, since I'm only 34 weeks, and I'm supposed to make it to at least 37. The doctor might be putting me on bedrest in the next week or two. We'll see!! The only thing that sucks about that, is that I don't know what I'll be able to do. I don't know if it means that I have to be laying down with my feet propped up, or if I can sit up and play on the computer and stuff.
Yikes.

I always say this, but it's always true: it's been waaaaaaaay too long since I've updated.
Things are going pretty darn well, I must say. The pregnancy is going well... I only have 8 weeks left! She's kicking me more and more every day. Well, not so much moving around a ton as kicking, I don't think she has the room to kick anymore. The only hitch so far is that I found out I have gestational diabetes, which sucks. I'm supposed to avoid sugar and most carbs... How does a pregnant lady do that?!?! I'm managing, though. It's not so bad, really. Most of the diabetic sweets taste pretty good, actually. We got some triple chocolate ice cream the other day, that's low carb and no sugar... It makes my heart pretty happy.
We finally got painting Bridget's room almost done. Leo just has to do the ceiling in white, which shouldn't be too bad. The walls are pretty darn yellow, but I like it. I think our theme is going to be moons and stars and things like that, so it fits pretty well, if I say so myself. And it's neutral enough, in case Bridget decides she wants to be a Leonard III we won't have to worry too much about anything but the clothes. Oh god we have so many pink clothes!!
I get to quit work when she's born, too. That's wonderful. Leo got his job at USD 259 as a Speech Language Pathologist. He'll be making about twice what I make now, which is all we're living on. Even with the new baby we're going to feel like we're living like kings, I'm sure. I'm very proud of him. And I'm very happy that I get to stay home with Bridget, at least for a year. After that I think I'm going to go to nursing school. History, as much as I absolutely love and adore it and don't want to leave it, probably isn't the most practical thing right now. We don't want to leave Wichita, especially with Bridget, and I know I'd have to to get the degree and job that I would want. Nursing was always the other option in my mind, and I was always torn towards it and history. So I'm going to go with what I hope to be my second love of profession, and do nursing. Assuming I get into nursing school, that is. :)
So all in all, life is pretty good. I'm just ready for my baby to get here, and I'm ready for Leo to start working. This fall is going to be awesome. Oh, and I've been playing a lot of WoW. I'm almost level 70, finally. Go me!

Holy shit, we moved. It's amazing. We're not in a crappy 1 bedroom apartment anymore. We actually have a room for the baby. We actually have room for our stuff!! Our kitchen is huge... I just love it.
I'm thrilled. Hurray!! Also, the baby is definitely a girl. That's also exciting that we got to find out for sure. Now just another 4 months until she's born!!

I have the day off today, that's making me pretty fucking happy right now. I slept about 11 hours last night, and all I want to do is lay around. But I know I will feel like my last day off until sometime in late May will feel completely wasted if I do that, so I'm trying to avoid it. I don't know what I'll do instead.
I'm starting to get nervous about the baby. I'm far enough along that I don't have to worry as much about the miscarriage thing, since I'm out of the first trimester, but I'm horrified that something else is going to go wrong. Every time I feel something down there, I'm either terrified it's blood or amniotic fluid or something. I know, it's so completely unlikely to be anything bad. I know it's just discharge. The old yucky normal kind. But still, good God, I'm not used to this. I don't think I'll be able to breathe til the baby is actually born. Or until I can feel it kicking and I can know that it's ok.
I'm glad I finally feel better. I'm able to get up and around and play WoW and everything. It's nice to not feel confined to the couch for once. And even as I say this, I'm about to log on to WoW. Maybe later, LJ. Maybe later.

My God, I haven't written in this thing in ... well the front page says 15 weeks. I suppose that sounds about right.
I'm almost 12 weeks pregnant. That's insane. I'm happy. But very sick. I think my sickness is starting to go away. Hopefully I don't jinx myself by saying that. Sometime soon I need to really just sit down and write in this. But now is not that time. I don't feel like it. :(

We're buying DDR because I'm getting fatter by the day. Hopefully the physical activity plus my cutting out soda and fast food as utterly as I can will halt this horrible growth.
We'll see.

This has officially been the absolute worst week of my life. I'm not going to go into it, because right now I'm just letting people know on a "need-to-know" basis. Not that I want to insult anyone, but I just don't feel like talking about it with most people.
I'm also extremely tired. Since I started having to get up at 6:30 every weekday, I find it absolutely impossible to sleep past 9 am. That's ok though, at least I have most of my day. Makes it difficult to stay up late and hang out with peoples and drink Cherry Pucker with 7-Up (which is the best drink ever created by man). But whatever, my glorious mage is a level 18 now.... And that makes me happy in my heart. And in my pants.
School might be kind of crazy this semester. It just looks like it's going to be insane. I have to write a paper every week in one of my classes, and in the other one I have to write a 25 page paper. It's going to be intense, I have a distinct feeling. I'll get through it, I know. I don't really have a whole lot to say. I'm lame and boring, and spent most of this week at home laying on my couch, so I really really don't have a whole lot of anything to report.
Peace out bitches.

For some foul reason, my body would not sleep past 7:45 this morning. I suppose that gives me absolutely no excuse not to be able to go to mass. Although I know this, it still offends me. I guess I went to bed at 10:30 anyway. What a sad, boring life I lead.
I finally finished Dune yesterday. Such an amazing book. Now, I really would like to read the Golden Compass if Leo would ever hurry up and do it. I think I'm going to steal it from him and read it anyway. I'd probably get through it faster than he would, if I actually read it. It's not a monstrosity like Dune was. I realize I have a hard time reading sequels right away. Harry Potter is the only exception that I can think of. I guess I get bored of the world in which I'm immersing myself. Lord of the Rings doesn't count because it's really just one book split up into three parts to make it seem shorter. But I really want to read the sequels to Dune. We'll see.
I've been playing a lot of WoW. I think I play it to avoid really having to explore my own thoughts at all. Every time I do, I inevitably think of my grandmother and of how horrible her life is right now. The nurses are basically saying that we should take her off of her stroke medication and just let her go. Not prolong this horrible thing her life has become just for the sake of her "living." She can't move anything more than her arms, and that's an effort, she can't swallow so she has a breathing tube, and she can't talk at all. No way to express herself. To make matters worse, her mind is perfectly fine. I can't even begin to imagine. It has to be sickeningly frustrating. I'm surprised she hasn't told us that she's done yet. I hope she doesn't. I'm torn. I'm going to miss her.
So... time for more WoW.

I've been not doing a whole lot lately except reading Harry Potter. And letting my legs heal. They don't really hurt anymore, but they're itching a whole hell of a lot. And now they're also peeling. But that's ok. They're getting better. Harry Potter is awesome. I don't care how popular it is. I used to be bothered by the whole bandwagon thing, but I couldn't care less now. I'm just having fun watching the movies and reading the books. Because I <3 them.
Also, Kara, I think Snape is teh hawtness too. Harrrrrr.
I need to play more WoW. I'm only a bubble away from level 50. Isn't it amazing that I have so very little of significance going on in my life right now? It's cool with me.
That's all I've got.

I'm stuck downloading WoW updates while Mark, Kara, and Leo play. :( That makes me sad. But they'll be done soon, hopefully.
The job is going pretty well. I've been getting a lot of overtime... That equals time and a half in the money department. The work is still really easy, and I really think I'm getting it down. I had to stay an hour and a half late today. The volume was just insane though. That's ok... Like I said, monies for the honies.
Not a whole lot has been going on as of late. Just working a lot and sleeping a whole lot. I'm really boring right now. I honestly don't really remember where my nights have been going since I started work. I'll get off work at 5 or 5.30 and go to bed at about 10.30, and I have no idea where all my time has been going. It's pretty odd.
Anyway, Leo really isn't very witty. I don't have much else to say but I'm waiting for this stupid patch to download. It's been at 85% for the last 10 minutes. I guess I'll go fart around elsewhere on the internets. Peace.
