I got some ice cream, and you don't get none..
"The homemaker has the ultimate career. All other careers exist for one purpose only - and that is to support this ultimate career." C. S. Lewis
Look what I did, all by myself. :)
I think those turned out mighty fine indeed.
Going to Louisiana to see the Grandma-in-laws. Pray that I don't burst when they (and by they, I mean one in particular) give unwanted advice, do things I've asked them not to do, don't do things I have asked them to do, try to change my ways of doing things, and generally treat me as if I'm a stupid, ignorant other that is causing harm to her child by doing things my way.
Also, this will be Baby J's first official road trip! How cool! I'll be sure to take lots of pictures, and maybe some video too. :)
Leave me comments to come home to!

Just not good timing..
So, everyone knows I'm forgetful and clumsy, but I did something really stupid on Monday. I lost my wallet. I was carrying it in the pocket of the jacket I was wearing since I didn't really need it, but just in case. Well, we leave my in-laws house and it's in my pocket. We go to Babies R' Us, get our car seat, stroller, diaper genie, bottles, sheets, mattress protectors, receiving blankets, thermometer pacifier and a few other little things. Get back to the in-laws house and I don't have my wallet. GRR! I called babies R Us and they say the wallet isn't there. Ugh. It was the only place I had it, other than the van, and I already checked that. I either lost it in the store or the parking lot.
So, now I have to call and cancel all of my CC's, my SS card was in there since I had to see a new doctor the next day, my DL, my school ID, everything. I now have no picture id which means I can't take my math test in the testing center, or any test for that matter. I'll either have to go in early to take the math test or stay late to take the math test after my speech class, but I think my class is the first class of the day for my teacher so there goes the early, and I'm pretty sure he only has one class after it, so there goes staying after my speech class, so I would probably have to skip my speech class and take the test. GRR! I'm so mad!
Also, since Ryan didn't call to transfer the electric when I told him to (He has to since it is his name on the account) we had to get a 'priority' push on it, which cost us $130., and then they charged us $53.84 to transfer the service! WTF! We've had them for 3 years, you'd think they would waive the fee after a certain amount of time!
A bit of good news though is the pulminologist doesn't think it's my heart; he says it is a rare form of acid reflux. Since my stomach is, to quote the doctor, "squished like a pancake" right now he says the acid has nowhere to go except into my throat, which causes my body to think I'm choking, which makes it where I can't breathe. The reason it is worse when I lay down is because it doesn't have to 'climb' to get where it needs to go, it just flows. He gave me PrevACID to take twice a day (he says he normally recommends one but thinks I need two), one when I wake up, one when I go to sleep, and an inhaler to use at night when I was up not able to breathe. At least it's not my heart.
Okay. Off to call CC companies, place a fraud alert on my credit report, and see what other BS I have to do since I'm so retarded.

I passed!
Well, I passed my sugar test, though my iron was low. I figured, as I've been anemic off and on for years, and lately have been craving ice again. apparently I need to take an iron supplement twice a day, so it was pretty low.
Also, one of the Grandma's on Ryan's side (not clear on who) got us a present from the baby registry and apparently it's "pretty big" and my in-laws want to bring it to our house. Our 500 sq ft apartment. That already has boxes lined up against every possible wall because they wanted us to clear out Ryan's old room for a guest bedroom (which they have yet to do, by the way). they also know we will be moving in February and don't need another box (much less a BIG box) cramped in our apartment. And it's not like they haven't been here. They have. They commented on how tiny the place is. Yet now they want to stuff more things in here. I feel a bit like a sardine as it is. Ryan won't ask them to store it at their house. Like it would be a big deal. They could leave it in their garage (or hey, even in the 'guest room' which isn't a guest room yet) for a month and a half. We plan to move at the beginning of Feb. so what is the deal with 6 weeks? If it's in the garage they won't even know it's there. Also, I have a good idea of what it is. We only put a few 'big' items on our list; a crib, a rocker/glider chair, a stroller/car seat combo, and possibly a pack and play, though I don't think I put that last one. If his parents are getting us the crib it can only be one of two (or three) things.
ANYway. I think this is all. OH! Anyone know of a good place to get free boxes to pack stuff in? :)

Did we win all the wars? Check.
Went with my (fantabulous) in-laws today and they purchased me 3 new shirts, which are quite spiffy. They wanted to get me more, or perhaps jeans, but I would prefer to wait and get those once I start showing a bit more (aka: looking pregnant, not simply looking chubby). Plus, I like to try pants on and see how they fit, and make sure they don't rub my stomach, or anywhere else uncomfortable.
I got this:
(Not me in the picture - stolen from Target)
and 2 other shirts I can't find listed. But one is a black cardigan (Liz Lange Maternity), and one is a Mossimo brand satin trim tunic in avalon/sea green. They're really nice.
I have to write a play for Drama tomorrow, and study the other 2 chapters in my book. School is going pretty well thus far. Now I'm tired and am heading to bed.
