...

The nonstop indigestion is getting REALLY old REALLY quick.  Going to ask the doc if there's something besides the superduty Tums I can take...I know it's all part of it, old wives tale says that means baby has head full of hair.  Kaitlynne did, and I had the indigestion then, so maybe it's true...  Anywho, just be glad when it calms down (goes away).  I know it's not good to have it for too long...erodes the esophagus, or something like that.  Anywho, I guess it's all part of the 'welcome to the 8th month-your body has officially been invaded and is no longer your own'.  Love being pregnant, but like most women, it's really tough when you get to this stage.  You're so ready, but you know babes isn't, so you suffer (and try to make sure everyone around you is suffering too). 

I put the carseat and stroller together today.  The base on the carseat is dang heavy...but VERY nice that you no longer have to strap the seatbelt EVERY time you put baby in the car.  It also snaps onto the stroller...also pretty cool..I love the stroller-was well worth the bucks I paid for it.  Kim got me a couple more outfits at Bealls Outlet the other day..too big for baby for a few months, but very cute.  Also gave me the pack of diapers she used a couple out of at the babyshower.  She had intended on keeping them for when she gets preggo, but they've stopped 'trying', and now just go at it like bunnies (she said they're both still aware of what week is what tho...lord knows it'll happen, she's fertile myrtle like the rest of her family..lol).  Oh, wonderful woman down the road is giving us a crib for free!  Just have to go pick it up, so going to ask Kim if maybe we can get it in her van?  Lady lives really close to Kim..anywho, I thought it was really neat and definately nice of her.  We did just get the bassinett, which we'll use for sure for awhile.  Nice to have the crib tho, just have to get a mattress.

Kaitlynne's meds got switched yesterday...I'm hoping and praying this works for her, cuz it knocks out 2 of the other pills...less pills is just fine with me.  She did get in trouble for threatening to 'throw a computer' on a girl today, but this is a particular girl that is usually picking on Kaitlynne (and anyone else around), so I'm sure something was said to get her to say that to the girl.  Kaitlynne's a handfull, no doubt, but usually needs to be provoked before she's ever mean. 

Think Kim and I are going running around tomorrow, don't know tho.  They were supposed to stop by tonight (Kim was going to do the carpet clean, Donald was going to check something on my washer).  Didn't show, but I know when I was with Kim earlier, she said that Donald had gotten pissed off at her for something ridiculous last night, and of course carried the grudge over thru today.  I'm guessing that's why I didn't see them.  No biggie tho, I know she'll come by and do the carpet thing for me, tho the odor is getting better.  I need to go make a small payment on my layaway tomorrow.  I'll be glad when things aren't so tight with the bucks.  Taxes will give us a boost until I can get back to work...nice to take a deep breath.

I sent a letter to Kaitlynne's dad today.  Said I know he's either left town, or wants me to think it, and I personally don't care-but feel it's really rotten to do to Kaitlynne.  I didn't go after him for anything (child support enforcement went for the child support, not me), and I've never brought it up to him that he's not sending it either.  I know he sold our house (got a very pretty penny off that, too), and I don't care about that either.  I told him that he needs to 'handle' the divorce like he said he would.  Get it done before he truly skips the country to avoid that big $172.00/month he's supposed to pay for his daughter.  @@  Whatever...we'll see what, if anything, he says about that.  I wasn't nasty about it...being nasty with Larry just gets him to ignore you all together, and I really want to get this divorce done.  It's been well over a year since I left him, he's moved on, I've moved on.  I told him not to abandon his daughter..we'll see.

Need to get my other calls done, too...tried today, kept getting busy signals on all of them..irritating.  I have to go to the doc Thursday (NST, see the doc-he wants to know how my nausea is doing), then one of the gals from the baby email loop I'm on wants to meet for lunch.  I thought that sounded fun (and safe, being a public restaurant and all).  Mom's coming to sit with Kaitlynne, but starting next week I go Monday and Thursday.  She wanted gas $$, but we won't have it for a couple weeks, and even then, it's costing $20/per trip when I go there (gas and tolls).  May have to ask Kim if she can watch Kait on one of those days.  We're almost done...baby will be here soon...I'm getting anxious, I'm ready to meet her. 

Guess that's enough for now.  The dinner I made isn't agreeing with me (and that was roast, taters, and gravy...one of my favorites, but nothing seems to agree with me anymore).  Anywho, *toodles*.
