Today marks the first day of Tom going back to second shift. It feels weird. I'm sure Han and I will get used to by the end of the week. Both Tom and I have all new daily routines and I think it is a little bit more lonely without him around at nights.
We officially own the house that we live in, yay! Settlement went very smoothly and we have no worries. I did get to thinking while I was there that Tom and I really need a will set up in case we both croak. I'll have to put that on my to-do-list.
I was stunned to hear that Hannah jumped out of her crib today. Tom was in the shower and she decided she didn't want to wait in the crib for him to finish. She jumped out landed on the floor and kept on trucking into the bathroom. I believe Tom said she didn't even cry!
I'm anemic now with this pregnancy. I've been taking iron for about two weeks or somewhere close to that and still feel very tired so I guess I'm just tired. I will also have to have ultrasounds every week until I'm due which begins this Wednesday. This is just to measure the size of the baby and to make sure nothing weird is going on since I have diabetes and HBP.

This Day Sucks
Today has not been a good day. It started it off fairly okay and then I got to work and it went rapidly down hill. As soon as I got to work I realized that the other girl that shares the same job function as me left a good amount of work for me to do today. She has off every Friday and for whatever reason left me a bunch of her work to do. That throroughly ticked me off and I was about to blow. I was at the stage where you are so mad that you could just cry, like I had some how been defeated.
Then a few hours later, my friend shared something very personal and quite traumatic with me and our other friend. I am still feeling so sad for her. I have never been someone to cry along with another person. Today was different, I must have cried with her everytime she cried and then some. I wanted to help her but there was nothing I could do to change anything that was happening to her. I am still thinking about everything that is happening to her and it just seems so senseless and has no justification. She is a very sweet and honest person that does not deserve this one bit.
Then I finally get home and I just want to go to bed. I don't want to stay up watching TV with Tom even though that's what he wants to do I just want to sleep. Of course Tom gives me grief about wanting to sleep. I really just wish that he would understand. I am tired because a) I'm pregnant and b) I work 9-10 hours a day so no I really don't want to stay up past ten o' clock everynight to spend time with you. I want my old trusty bed that I love so much and I want to sleep. Perhaps in January maybe not until February will I want to stay up later but, I am doubting that too. It's time for you to realize that I need to go to bed no later than 9:00 every night. I'm getting older you know!
Then I come to let my dog out for the night and read this. I'll miss that dog.
This day sucks.

Good News!
So I mentioned once before that we are in the process of buying the house we currently live in from my parents. I got good news as I was about to leave work yesterday, our loan was approved and we are going to settlement on Monday the 28th! We got a super interest rate of 4.875% and our mortgage man even thanked us for having good credit. I gave myself a pat on the back for that!
My BF also found out that the offer she put down on the house she wanted to buy was approved! Good news for everybody yesterday!

"Now You Know The Birthdate"
A strange way to think about it but makes perfect sense. I received a call from the OB's office yesterday, the surgery scheduler was calling to let me know my C-section is scheduled for December 14th at 1:30pm. I had a rush of nervousness and excitement come over me. It will be exactly three months until I have another child, I don't know why but it scares me just a little.
I know this time is going to fly by, I will cherish this pregnancy as much as I can. This will most likely be my last.

Stupid Neighbors
I have probably mentioned it before but I really can't stand my neighbors. They have two boys who have 40,000 friends that come over every day and they all play basketball in the driveway together. They scream and holler and bounce the basketball until you are ready to stick your head out the window and yell for them to knock it off. I think if someone wanted to torture me they would just need to bounce a basketball it's the equivalent of clicking a pen in my book. The kids also run in my yard and knock the ball into my gutter.
Recently, I noticed they started taking my ladder that is on the side of our house. They don't ask mind you-they take it, use it and put it back. Today I was coming home from my parent's house and noticed the ladder was currently in use by the dad this time, what the hell! Even as Hannah and I walked past he didn't say "Hello" or "I borrowed your ladder, hope you don't mind." I just really think that is weird, I would never go in someone's yard and "borrow" something without asking.
The mother who is NEVER home, I am convinced she works two or three jobs. Has this strange habit of honking the horn about 10 ten times at night. It is usually around 9:00, 9:30 or 10:00 and you hear the horn start honking while you are laying in bed. She begins the honking in front of our house and then continues honking while she is parked in her driveway. Super annoying! Tom happened to be out front smoking one night when she came home. He watched her gather all of her things out of the car...all the while honking. The front light flicked on and she RAN into the house. Tom came back in and reported to me that she is scared which may be the cause for all of this honking. You would think they would just use a cell phone and call into the house for whomever to meet her at the front door instead of waking up the entire street. When I told my mom about her being scared she asked if Tom then put a ski mask on and jumped out of the bushes at her. Everytime I hear that horn I think of how funny that would be, muhuwahaha!

Not The Tweezers!
My favorite tweezers have gone missing, you know those tweezers that could pick the smallest of a nub of hair out. That would be those. It is setting my OCD into overdrive! I think that a) Hannah somehow got them and carried them off, or b) Tom is screwing with me and is testing how long I can go with out tweezers. This is so not cool, I am kind of slightly a picker, ahem. I really don't know how much longer I can hold out. I think I need to begin shopping for my perfect tweezers again!

Busy, Busy, Busy
There is so much is going on right now. It is a tad overwhelming!
Mom is out of the hospital. They released her today and she is really feeling a lot better! Ended up she had a blood clot that was not allowing her urine to come out properly. This then caused a back-up into her kidney, the doctor put a stint in between her kidney and bladder which then released the trapped urine and blood. Unfortunately, the stintis painful and will be in there for at least a month if not more. Other than that she is feeling pretty good. They even gave her a pint of blood while she was there and that seems to have helped dramatically.
We are currently buying our house...finally! My parents currently own it. When we sold our house in November we were already living here since about April and just never got our butts in gear. Now with the interest rates so low we figuered we better get it together before they get out of control again. I realize now why my feet were dragging...the whole process is a huge pain in the butt! The things you forget in-between buying houses, so annoying.
Hannah is doing well, she seems to be talking a lot more. She can say Mammie (my mom), Molly (the dog), Uh-oh, Mama or Mum, Daddy, So big, Hi, Bye and the list goes on. It is amazing how you will say something and she will rattle it back only it's a little hard to understand but at least she is trying. It is just amazing watching her grow.
The baby is doing well, I can feel him kick quite often. I am suspicious that boys move/kick way more than girls. I don't remember Hannah moving near as much as Carter does. I can't wait to meet him, I only have about three more months left! Can you believe it?
Work is overwhelmingly busy. I was put in charge of a new project/function and most days I am ready to leave and never come back. The reality is I work 9-10 hour days and am exhausted and want to go to bed at 8:30. I actually had to put a sign up on Tuesday that I would be unable to answer questions until 12:30 and to hold all questions until that time. Most of my co-workers thought it was hilarious, the question-askers got there feelings hurt. Oh well, first time I had done it and I think it got the point across to stop coming to my desk every 10 minutes with a different form of the same question. I wonder if some people even try to problem solve on their own!
My niece is getting so big! She is six this year and just started First Grade! So exciting for her! She is such a sweet little girl, she had super long hair that was down to her butt or further and gave 10 inches away to locks of love. It is amazing how sweet and caring she is.
Her sister who is two just started dance class, this should lead to some interesting stories. She is a very stubborn little girl so I can just imagine how she is doing. She is really quite the comical little one!
We are working on the house again bit by bit. Hopefully we will get to tileing my basement landing this weekend. We started to do it last weekend and didn't have enough tile. Don't ask me how we did that, we have probably had this tile for over a year and all this time we didn't have enough! We are also going to start on the baby's room as soon as we get the window we ordered. It most likely will not be in until September 25th. As soon as that is in we can start painting the walls. I am so excited!

My Momma
No sooner did I get home from work today than my Mom called. She was very sick and needed to go to the ER. Her kidney doctor ordered her to go to the ER is more what happened. She wasn't feeling well yesterday and apparently only told me that she has blood in her urine. This to me was not a good sign, she also said she was having a lot of pain in her kidney area. So fast forward to today and she had a doctor's appointment. Once they got a hold of her actual doctor they instructed her to go to the ER (she only saw the nurse practitioner at her appt.) and they sent an ultrasound slip to take with her. We get there, they admit her and then they did blood work and her ultrasound. Then we waited for the results to all come back. It was nearing time that I would need to leave so Tom could go to work. I called my brother and told him to come on over, he was going to come sooner but I told him to wait. I left Chase there and headed home. He let me know about a half an hour after I left that the doctor finally came. There was no leak in her kidney which is what the doctor had suspected but that it did appear she had a good infection going. They ended up admitting her for a two day stay of antibiotic treatments. This is all I know so far, I am eager to get up to the hospital tomorrow to check on her.
