7 Years

7 years! As of today, Amelia and I have been together for seven years...and in that time so much has happened for us...my dad died, Amelia's grandmother died, her father had a heart attach, we bought a house, and now we are having a baby...here's a drawing I did of our little baby girl in my belly...cutie pie huh?

I know I'm a regular ol' Picasso ;)

Anyways...so yes today is our anniversary and like every other "holiday" we decide what our limit will be...well I thought we say $0 and she thought we said $25.00 so she's getting a card and I got...18 long stem roses...

DAMN I SUCK!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY HONEY BUNNY, WE (ME AND NO NAME BABY GIRL) LOVE YOU!!!

Heath Ledger

I am so bothered by Heath Ledger's death...and it is so weird! I am not crazy for celebrity news...I know people who must watch Entertainment Tonight EVERY NIGHT! These same people also get People (the magazine) news updates on their email...so that every minute of the day when something crazy happens like Britney Spears screwing up her kids even more or Lindsay Lohan screwing herself up they know right away. Me, I don't much give a damn. I do feel bad for Britney's kids but in reality what do I care? Not much...

But Heath Ledger...it's just so sad. He was only 28 years old, had an adorable little girl and an ex-wife who though she divorced him I'm certain is torn up about this...today on NPR they had his dad speaking and he just sounded miserable, like his own life had ended. It is so scary...he was 4 years younger than me...4 years is such a long time....his life was cut too too short.

I truly hope that this was not at his own hands and just a tragic mistake.

It's a Girl.

We had our very successful ultrasound where we found out that come May we will be having a healthy baby girl. She is currently a little over a pound and about 13 inches long. We couldn't believe it and I was actually a bit disappointed as I was sure it was a baby boy...oh well we'll take her...now off to convince Amelia that the room should be painted pink or lavender :)

Here she is yawning...

and here's her tiny foot

Crack is Good!

From the mouth of a young preacher!

Tomorrow's the Day!

So tomorrow we have our 20 week ultrasound (even though I will be 22 weeks on Fridays) and boy am I nervous...I can't wait to find out the sex and see what the hell is going on in there...

A friend of a friend got some bad news today about her baby, who is due around the same time as ours, and I am really feeling for her...it is so scary, you try to do everything you can and something can go wrong at anytime and you'd never know...it's a very odd feeling.

We were emailing back and forth today and as she said "why is it, that so many people, have babies all the time? some that are on their like, 15th child, and they just plan on throwing them on top of the ye olde baby pile and moseying on to ye olde crack house" it is so true and so very sad...I see women all the time, that granted I do not know but I wonder how in the hell she could let herself get pregnant again when she is standing at the bus stop with 5 or 6 other kids in the snow, as big as a house with another and I'm like what the fuck? I just don't get it!

So needless to say I am keeping my fingers crossed for the friend of a friend.

Keep your fingers crossed...for a healthy baby!

CUTE!

As you all know our dog has been sick for awhile now but she let me take some cute shots of her and I thought I'd share 'em :)

Halfway there!

Working

I've been working since I was 14 years old...my very first job was at TCBY (The Country's Best Yogurt) and my main job was to make the waffle cones...it was horrible. I burned the tips of my fingers as I took them off the waffle maker and rolled them into that cone shape making sure there was no hole in the bottom for the yogurt to drip out of...I hated that damn job!

Today was worse, I won't say where I work but I will tell you that even burning my fingers while making the waffle cones never made me cry. Today at work I cried....I don't know if I'm just hormonal or tired...if I just need a longer break than the Christmas and New Years break was...I don't know...what I do know is that I am so mad right now that if I could put my hands on that waffle cone maker so that I couldn't type or write at work I would!

Long Time No See

I promised I'd be better about posting here but it hasn't happened. Since I've been away not much has happened around here except for Christmas and New Years, oh and on Friday I'll be more 21 weeks pregnant and on the 9th of the month we find out the sex...woohoo :)

My friend P and his wife C just found out they are having a little boy and I am so excited for them...Congrats!


I promised pictures of our tree, etc...and of course didn't do that either, if there is still anyone out there hoping to read this blog I will get better...I won't promise but I will promise to try...and although its late I promised a picture of the tree and here it is:

This is our tree, topped off by our beautiful snow angel
