my update!

no no nooooo no baby action yet...but just wanted to update on myself:

having lower abdominal cramping from the vag check i asked my MW for yesterday morning...yowch! : not doing THAT again til i'm laboring...

went to dr. today and both my mom and i have strep throat... : now all 3 of us (mama, megh & i) are on amoxicillan for strep. : this strep throat stuff sure is contagious!!! :

also some great news...my condo rent is $1000. here, and this is a shoebox for megh and sheamas and i...its tiny. this is a studio & we sleep on the murphy bed which takes up the whole living room almost...well half of it at least...its just tiny... i've been so grateful for this place...but now my mom has possibly found us some other options in the resort for cheaper condos that are LARGER...for like $700. instead! and that still includes wireless internet, elec, phone...pool/hot tub access/sauna (the sauna i avoid while pg but i LOVEEEE the hot tubs). there is even ice skating here. and in the spring and summer, horseback riding. not to mention its BEAUTIFUL amongst the ponderosa pines... i'm excited!!! i peaked in one of the places windows and could see the big bed and bedroom, and a big big area of a living room/kitchen...wahoooo!!! so we will most likely be moving in very soon, in a matter of days i'd think...i'd prefer at least. its empty, this one i saw... yeeehaaaawww! so i might just stay here a while anyway......maybe use my domestic violence money to help pay for the first and second months rent so we have money for christmas, and whatever else we may need.....i'd feel better contributing as much as i can to my mom and her boyf for all their help.

my mom bought megh a barbie doll at the grocery store and each time megh acted in a way my mom didn't like my mom would threaten in the store before buying it, after buying it and in the car ride home to take it away. i told my mom that *i* am the parent and *i* would make those kinds of decisions...that i didn't feel its right to buy something for her and have strings attached like that...she said i don't agree w/ that...i said oh well, *i* am meghs mother and *i* make those decisions...i don't give a darn if she doesn't agree.........that was MY way of reminding MY mother WHO is megh and sheamas' mother....NOT HER. and that just cuz you 'buy' love (or she thinks she does...its her way of loving...by giving 'stuff'...) doesn't mean you get to control people. and just cuz she is grandma doesn't mean SHE makes the final decisions re. megh. this was a big problemo w/ tom, my ex fiance, as well....i kept telling him *i* will discipline/deal w/ megh when she is frustrating to you or doing something out of line...that i didn't want him to deal w/ that...to tell me/call me if i needed to talk to megh about some behavior. he'd agree then like a day or two later its like his brain would forget or he'd choose to just be how he was...NOT ok w/ me as her step father...and many of the books i've read on step parents say the same thing....bio parent is the disciplinarian. anyway...........he's out of the picture now thankfully but still my mom likes to try to get one step up above me when i'm right there. like hello? sigh...very annoying to me and the way i parent megh.

megh has a tremendous amount of energy today and is making my head spin... : i'm so tired and really want to rest and my mom is resting at her condo...so i'm out of luck w/ her watching megh. i was just out w/ megh for about 45 minutes as she rode her tricycle and bicycle so she could get some energy out and exercise...it is sooo warm here today, too...its just beautiful! and now megh thinks this is enough time to let mama rest.....ahhh kids, gotta love 'em. they just don't understand when we mamas are spent.

my MW told me to have a conversation w/ baby that my body needs to get better and to hold off coming until i am better...

so yeah. that's my update. glad i wentto the dr. and found out about the positive strep throat... lol the dr. was so cool...when she swabbed my throat or back of my tongue i gagged and coughed so suddenly right in her face!!! : i was like i'm so sorry!!!! she said oh its alright... i felt bad. but at the same time it was too funny. well gonna go lay down a bit and rest...
that's all folks!

I'm sorry you're sick! I hate strep. What an awful time to have it too, when you're about to have a baby! Jeez! But you sound so positive and so happy and I'm soooo proud of you for leaving the situation you were in and taking that leap of faith. You're an amazing, strong mama! Way to go!

oh man those dishwasher pouches are making me ill in here. but its dark and i only have windows on one wall of this place and i want to go to bed and i am scared to leave the door open for air. darnit. i feel poisoned. i better open the window or something. this is bad.

my mom for some reason feels a need to mention to the owner or real estate lady who is going to show us the condo we may move to that i have a child and am pregnant. i told my mom they cannot discriminate and that this is a family resort, regardless of how long i'm renting. i said that is none of their business really in deciding to rent to me. it isn't like a typical rental, its thru my mom somehow or another...she is an owner at this resort. anyway........i'm right, right? :

i also have had a bit trickling or like i was leaking a little of something here and there today when i was walking about 5 hours ago...smelled my pad and it was not pee-like at all this time. i am going to sleep pad-less tonight and see if anything more happens. hmmm. probably just my imagination...or nothing to be excited about...awww and now sheamas has his hiccups again. seems to get them at night...he's definitely a lot lower...his heartbeat is felt in my lower abdomen now (he's anterior now) and before it was on my left side to the side of my belly button a few inches...
