Clarifications & Updates

Took this down, said I wasn't going to write in it again....after much thinking on it, I decided it's my journal...I'll write what I want in it, no matter who it might bother.  However, I won't use it as a way to inflict hurtful feelings onto someone.  That's not to say I won't say something that won't hurt someone else...that could very well happen.  It just won't be an intentional thing any longer.

Here's the latest.  I'm showing signs of preeclampsia again, so my care has now been transferred to Arnold Palmer Hospital in Orlando (first appointment Dec. 2nd).  I'm glad in one sense-atleast I know I'll be getting top-notch care, as in when I was pregnant with Kaitlynne.  Sucks in another sense-Orlando is not a hop, skip, and a jump away.  My doctor here mentioned things like delivering baby early (34-36 weeks), possibly by C-Section.  The delivering early scares me...I don't want a NICU baby, if at all possible....the c-section part, well...after 42 hours of labor with Kaitlynne, c-section doesn't sound all bad.  Not my first choice, understand...but nice to know the option is there.  My feet and legs swell until the skin is shiny, my hands swell, even my face, at times.  Sometimes it gets so bad, my joints ache.  Hard to get comfy now...sciatca acting up, mostly at night.  I wake up limping around for awhile.  Sounds like I'm whining alot...guess I might be, I dunno.  But dang, when something hurts...it hurts..LOL.

My friend Kim and her husband have been trying to have another baby (#3 for them).  Kinda funny after ALL the times she SWORE there would be no more after her 2 boys she has now.  She was worried I'd be upset that she was trying again..like 'stealing my glory' or something.  Ridiculous...babies are wonderful, I don't blame her for wanting another one.  They're hoping for a girl, of course happy with a healthy baby no matter.  She's had one 'official' cycle of ovulation sense getting off of the pill.  She knows that it can take up to 90 days (or more in some) for the pill's effect to wear off, her husband has doubts that maybe there's something wrong with him because she didn't get pregnant the very first day they did the deed after no pills.  Dingdong..can't help but chuckle at that.  I have no doubt (and neither does she) that it will happen.  Her family is definately fertile.

Turkey-day is coming up...can't wait.  I love to cook a big meal, and definately eat it..LOL.  Starting to cook on Wednesday so Alex can eat with us (Mom's coming over) before he has to go to work on Thursday.  Then heading over to Kim's mom's house.  Anna will be there (that's a whole other story)...should be...'interesting'.  My brother will be leaving the Friday following (while Alex and I are out Christmas shopping..LOL) to come back down to live.  Excited about that.  They finally got definate work here, and their house is done (and beautiful).  Their doggies had puppies, too...3 of them.  I can't wait to see the lil things.

Kaitlynne's doing well.  Her dad actually wrote her a card (nice one, too).  Says he's still 'close by' and will 'see her soon'.  For her sake, I hope he does.  It's been one year since I left him...and we've seen him once.  Anywho, Kaitlynne will hopefully be able to get a mentor (older student) at school to give her a little added help with her math.  It's her favorite subject, but it's the one she's worst at...go figure..LOL.

Alex and I are doing well.  We've definately had more then our share of bumps in the road, but I hope...really truly hope...those days are done.  I like where we are right now...want it to stay that way.

That's enough for now.  Maybe more later.  Figure it's time for another bellypic update, too.  *Peace*
