Overwhelmed

Ok so I want to cry. Michael is doing taxes and it doesnt like we will be getting much of a return. Thats not the issue, it isnt, but I am starting to feel really overwhelmed. I mean, I wont be taking any daytime classes once school starts in the fall, maybe I will take a couple night ones. But I want to be the one to raise my baby and I know I wont really be working either. I dont know how I will be able to pay the cell and internet bill. At this point, it looks like I will have to find a used baby carrier which is really not safe and go without a stroller and stuff. What else can I do? I know I wont be having a baby shower. Maybe the ladies at church will have one for me, but I am not holding my breath. Even if I did get one, not many would show up. Thats just how things work for me. I dont have anything ready for the baby at all. I havent even started in the baby room. I keep trying to get Michael to help me but he seems to think that we have plenty of time. Truth is, we dont. At this rate I am going to have to borrow a baby carrier just to bring the baby home in. I know I am being irrational, but I am just having one of those days. Pregnant women have them alot I guess but so far this has been my worst day.
Well I am off to bed for now and I am sure tomorrow will be better.

Sick! Ugh!

I am home sick today so I thought I would update you all with a post. Sorry if I bore you.
I developed a cough Wednesday night which worsened by thursday morning. I went to the wamnart pharmacy and talked to the pharmacist to see what I could take. She saidto call the dr and I told her that I had a sheet on meds I could take and that robitussin dm was on there. I also told her that I got the ok for plain ole sudafed. She said sudafed was a class C med and so was robitussin dm. Then she told me that if I couldnt handle the liquid to get Mucinex DM. Oh has it helped!!! I was coughing so bad there for awhile that i thought I was going to hack up a hairball! I was not doing well last night and I ended up calling work at 1 am because I could barely talk and I felt sooo horrible! I am on self mandated bed rest today and I am just taking it easy. i have been reading some kiddie books for my annotated bibliography and am going to start that. I have to have a minimum of 20 books on there. Lucky for me, alot of them are going to be picture books and stuff like that! At least I will be able to read through them quickly.

On another note, I am 16 weeks today! Hooray! I was getting concerned that I havent gotten any bigger but then I had to remind myself that many women on a first pregnancy dont even show till 20 wks and the baby is only about 5 inches long. I will get bigger eventually. I am also looking forward to the gender ultrasound which is going to be sometime the first week or two of March. I was hoping that the dr would do it before Feb 20 because that day I will be 18 weeks but he insists that its too early and their offices dont do gender ultrasounds before 20 weeks. Well shoot! I was looking forward to finding out for my birthday! When i do find out, I am most likely going to the appointment by myself which is fine, and then I am going to go get Michael a little baby outfit which is the correct color and then wrap it and have him open it. That way I can be ready with the camera and record his reaction! I know I really, really, want a girl, but the other night I was thinking about how I would feel if I am having a boy. I just pictured the ecstatic look on Trent's face and I pictured Michael holding a baby boy, and I just melted. I will be just as happy with a boy. That would also mean that Michael would get to potty train! Well that is provided we dont get the infant potty training down first. yes we plan to potty train from birth. It takes more discipline, but it can be done! Just imagine being able to count on one hand how many dirty diapers you have changed.

Ok well I am getting a little tired so I may lie down for a short while. I will post again later!
