Happy Easter

Yesterday was a very busy day. We went to DC's aunts and there were a lot of people there. We had a huge Easter meal then headed to the park. We stayed at the park for 4 1/2 hour an by the time we got home Ally and I were exhausted. I had planned on meeting up with Josie but I fell asleep when I got home and ended up missing them. Hopefully we will get together next weekend. I don't know if the pregnancy is just catching up with me or if it is because my blood sugar is a little low but I have been really tired lately. I talked to Nicole Greening today and she is due in 2 weeks. The funny thing is that she has way more energy than I do. I don't remember being this tired with Ally and that was when I got up at 6 went to school till 3:30 worked from 4 to 12 did homework till 2 and repeated the next day. I actually did that until I was 8 months pregnant. It's funny I didn't just fall over. I always respected my mom for giving up the chance to have a career in order to be home with us but I didn't realize until Ally just how hard it truely is to be a stay-at-home mom. I just wish other people could see everything that it truely involves. People keep acting as if I do nothing because I don't have a steady job. I am doing what I feel is best for my family. I am not saying that everyone should or that it is better than being a working mother I just know that it is better for us and it is what I truely believe in and want for my family. I wish that I could get other people to respect that. I swear that the next time someone points out a job position that is opening or that we could afford more with another income I am seriously going to lose it. I work very hard to keep my family happy and taken care of and I am sick of people trying to make me feel worthless for not having a nine to five.

I'm Home, I'm finally Home!

I officially live in a place of my own now. It is coming together. I have been packing and unpacking and cleaning and unpacking and cleaning some more for two weeks now. I never realized how stressful moving can be. I must say that I am now exhausted. I only have a few things left at dads and I have a little unpacking left to do but my place finally actually looks like a home. I love my new home. I love doing my dishes in my sink and washing my clothes in my washer and dryer. It really feels good. I didn't realize how much crap DC and I actually had though. We joked that we would move into the house and it would look really bare but actually we are having some trouble trying to figure out where we are going to put things. How the hell did I pack all of this stuff in one bedroom and a closet before?, I have no idea! The only thing that I dislike about the house is sleeping in a new place by myself. Well, Ally is here too but that just makes it worse. DC has been working nights so he leaves at about 9 at night and isn't home again until a little after 6 in the morning. Then he sleeps until 1 or 2 in the afternoon. I hate his shift. I wish he could work from 6 in the morning til 2 in the afternoon. I'm hoping maybe the shifts will change a little eventually. Yesterday I had an ultrasound and we got some really cool pictures. Baby is really healthy and looks like maybe another girl but they couldn't really tell. I'm not going to buy anything yet. If it turns out to be a girl I already have clothes and things but if it turns out to be a boy I will have to do some late shopping. Well I know my post is boring but I don't really know what else to say at the moment. I'm gonna go and clean up now since Easter is this weekend and Josie is going to come visit me. see ya
