*Moved* [10 Aug 2004|11:07am] [ mood | sympathetic ] [ music | *Undiscovered* - Ashlee Simpson ] I'm sorry to tell you all this, but I have moved over to Greatest Journal for good. You guys should, too. Itz a lot better over there. You can have as many friends as you want and as many icons as you want and everything. I'm so much happier with Greatest Journal. I will miss you all very much. PLEASE move over to Greatest Journal. If you do, look me up...my name is justcallmemom! I will still be keeping my community im_too_sexy here, though. Itz been fun, guys! Take care and don't forget me! You can talk to me on AOL too! Love ya! Byes! 2 Miracles Make a Wish

*Nothing New* [26 Jul 2004|03:42pm] [ mood | busy ] [ music | *Autobiography* - Ashlee Simpson ] Not much is going on in my boring life. I haven't baby-sat in the past 2 weeks becuz they've been with their relatives, which is nice, except that now I don't have any money. I baby-sit Thursday, Friday and Sunday this week. With my Thursday's money I have to pay to get my birth certificate, with Friday's I'm getting my nails done, and with Sunday's I think I'm getting Ashlee Simpson's CD. On Saturday we have a family reunion to go to with Jay's family. A lot of them haven't seen Jacob yet and are really looking forward to it. I got a new journal at greatest journal, and my sn is justcallmemom, so if any of you have it, please add me! Thanx! I'm still going to be on Blurty, cuz I prefer Blurty, but I have a few friends over at GJ who I want to keep in touch with. Jacob is doing great! He's been a little crabby lately, mostly becuz he's had gas, but other than that he's been good. He's finally discovered his hands, and he sucks on them a lot. He smiles so much more now, and laughs. Itz so cute! We didn't do much over the weekend. Jay had to work yesterday, and me and Jay's mom took Jacob to the flea market and grocery shopping, and then I went to my friends baby shower. It was nice...I had fun. I felt bad for her though becuz she didn't get very much. Our friends are cheap. LoL. She's due to have her baby September 2nd, and she's naming her Emma Jean. My other friend Rachel is pregnant too and due to have her baby September 6th. She's naming her Amaya Grace. I'm suppose to go to her shower next month. We're getting Jacob's 3 month professionals sometime next month. He'll be 3 months the 18th. I've been trying to get a job, becuz baby-sitting just isn't cutting it. I only get 30-50 bucks a week, which isn't anything. Jay works but most of his money goes in the bank, and I want to help out, too. I still don't have my social security number, though, which is what is holding me back from getting a REAL job. In order to get it, I have to get a long form birth certificate from Canada, which is where I was born, and it shows all of my parent's info and everything, so I sent in for that today, and it can take anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months to get back. Once I do, I have to take it to the social security office, then take them my parent's birth certificates, and I also have to show them a document previous to my birth of where my parents lived to prove that they lived here in America. Itz a real pain in the ass, and I'll be glad when itz finally taken care of. Then I'm gonna put in apps around here and where my mom works for part-time work and hopefully I'll get some call backs. On Saturday we didn't do anything...we went to Wal-Mart for a few things and my parents took Jacob for most of the day to spend some time with him since they don't get to see him as much. But that's pretty much it. Sorry for the boring update. Either way, leave me some love! Byes! 4 Miracles Make a Wish

*I'm Back!* [20 Jul 2004|09:37pm] [ mood | chipper ] [ music | None ] Hey everyone! I missed you! I hope you missed me! We FINALLY got our computer fixed after many attempts. In the end, I'm not really sure what ended up being wrong with it, but now everything on it is erased and basically itz like we have a brand new computer. It sux, though, cuz now we have to redownload everything, but itz worth it if it works. Anyway, I hope none of you erased me from your friends lists, and if you did, well, I guess you weren't that good of friends to begin with. I will update you all within the next day or two. Just please give me some time to catch up. Jacob is doing great. He had a doctor's appointment yesterday and he is now 12 pounds exactly and 24 inches long and he's 9 weeks old. I have some great recent pix of him that I will post of him for you all to see as soon as I can. He also had to get his 2-month shots yesterday, which wasn't fun at all. He had to get 2 in each leg, and he cried and cried. I felt so bad and helpless. He was fine after a while, but he did end up running a small fever, and he was a little fussy. He seems to be feeling better now, though. I just love being a mom. Itz such an awesome feeling. My friend Tiffiny had her graduation party this past Saturday, and me and Jayson went, and Jayson was wrestling around with Tiffiny's younger brother, and Tiff's brother picked up Jayson and threw him in to the pound, and Jay had mine and his cell phones in his pocket. Jay's phone ended up only needing a new battery, but I ended up needing a brand new phone. Mine was completely fried and wouldn't even turn on. Becuz we already had a contract, we had to pay full price for my phone, which ended up being $140. I got a cuter pink flip phone, though, but it was still pretty expensive. A few days ago, Jayson got pulled over for driving without his headlights on. We had just pulled out of Taco Bell and jacob was crying so Jayson hadn't even realized that they weren't on. Jayson tried explaining that to the cop, and the cop asked him if he had been drinking that he couldn't tell that his headlights weren't on, and Jayson explained that with the street lights on, itz a little hard to tell, and the stupid ass cop gave him a ticket anyway. So that was another $100 down the drain. I swear, the cops here are terrible and very ticket-happy. For the 4th, we ended up going to Jay's grandma's for a BBQ becuz Jayson didn't have to work and she wanted to see Jacob, and we went fishing and that was pretty much it. I hope you all had a good 4th. I might be quitting my cheap-paying baby-sitting job and going to work part-time as a cashier where my mom works. I know itz not much, but itz a whole hell of a lot more than I make right now. Jay's hours were cut back for a while, but they're slowly picking back up and I just want to be able to help out, too. We will always have someone home to watch Jacob, so I won't have to worry about putting him in daycare or paying a baby-sitter. Well, I think that's about all that is new with me. I hope to get some comments from you all soon! We're all doing great here and we're all very happy! Please leave me some love! Byes! 3 Miracles Make a Wish

*Long Time No Update* [21 Jun 2004|10:54am] [ mood | bitchy ] [ music | *Broken* - Amy Lee & Seether ] Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't updated in like, forever. Jay's one friend came over to try and fix his computer becuz it had a million pop-ups and was running really slow, but he just made it worse and now we can't even log on to the internet. Usually I'd just go to my mom's house to get online, but their cats and dog have fleas and I'm allergic to them, so I can't go over there until they get rid of them. My friend Jen let me come over and use her computer so I could update everyone. But we're in the process of trying to get the computer fixed, and in the mean time Jay's mom is gonna try and hook up her laptop, so if we can get that running I should be able to get back on shortly. I've missed you all though! Not a whole lot has gone on, though. Jacob is almost 5 weeks old now, and he had his 1-month check-up last Monday. He is now 9 lbs. and 8 oz. and 22 in. long. He's very healthy and doing well. His next apponitment will be in a month, which I'm not looking forward to becuz he'll be getting his shots. Jay's parents have really been a painin the ass lately, though. Mostly Jay's mom. She wants to start him on baby cereal already and his pediatrition doesn't even want him to start it until he's 3 months old. Also, she keeps trying to make his bottles 6 oz. when he's only suppose to be getting 4 oz. every 4 hours. She says that becuz he cries sometimes that he's probably hungry and not getting enough to eat, but his doctor seems to think he's at the rate he should be. So we're getting really pissed off with her trying to go against everything the doctor says and we have to constantly remind her that we're his parents and she needs to respect what we want to do with our child. I told her, babies cry sometimes without any real reason, and it doesn't automatically mean he's hungry. Also, right now becuz he was constipated, we switched his formula to Similac with Low Iron, but as soon as we use it up is pediatrition wants us to go back to the Similac Advance with Iron so he doesn't become Anemic, and Jay's parents bitched at us about that and said he's just gonna get consipated again. Basically what it comes down to is that me and Jayson are his parents and we know what's best for him, and apparently we're doing something right if his doctor says he's perfectly healthy. Me and Jay are really trying to save up our money so we can hopefully get our own place within a year and raise our child the way we want to without interference. But other than that, Jacob is doing very well, as are we. I have the CUTEST pix I want to post of him, but I have to wait until our computer gets up and running again. Me and Jay are doing great. He's been so sweet to me lately. And he's been so great with Jacob. For Father's Day I got him some pajamas becuz he ripped all of his, and I got him a card and took him out to lunch. It was really nice. I just love him some much. This weekend, on Saturday, Jay finally had the weekend off so we went to a car show in Detroit and then to Jay's mom's friend's house for a BBQ. We took Jacob in his stroller, which he loved. It was really nice out, so we had a good time. I finally started my diet. I tried to start it last week, but Jay's mom didn't have a lot of diet food in the house, so it was difficult, but she went shopping yesterday and bought some healthy food so now I can finally start eating better. I still can't work out for another week, but I have been walking a lot with Jacob in his stroller and I'm starting to feel better about myself. I finally got my hair done, and I'm getting my nails done this coming Friday. My hair is like a honey color, and I have light blonde high-lights. I love it. I'm getting my nails really short though so I don't scratch Jacob. So I'm looking forward to that. Well, I think that's about all. Sorry this isn't much of an update. Hopefully I can get the internet back on at home and update and comment more. In the mean time, take super care and leave me some love! Byes! 5 Miracles Make a Wish

*Jacob* [13 Jun 2004|12:21am] [ mood | tired ] [ music | None ] For those of you who still haven't seen my son or who haven't seen his professionals from the hospital, here they are: ( Jacob... ) 4 Miracles Make a Wish

*What's New* [10 Jun 2004|11:18am] [ mood | chipper ] [ music | *I Have Loved You* - Jessica Simpson ] Nothing much is new with me. Jacob is now 3 weeks old and is doing great. He poops on a regular basis now, which I'm happy about becuz he was having trouble with it before, and he seems to be eating better and spitting up less now. He has his next appointment in a week, when he'll be a month old, and he should be able to start on cereal when he's 6 weeks old, which should help him sleep better at night. He actually sleeps pretty good during the night, but gets up every 4 hours to eat. He usually doesn't have much trouble getting back to sleep, either. He sleeps when we take him in the car, and he sleeps when we take him into stores, so he's a pretty good baby, and me and Jayson are very lucky. I've been taking pix of him here and there, and I'll post them as soon as I get them developed. I just feel so much happier since he's been here. I love him so much. Me and Jayson have been getting along great. He gets 2 days off a week for work, and when he's home, itz wonderful. He's all kissy and cuddley and we just get along so well. He's been so amazing to me and takes such good care of Jacob. I just love him so much, and itz good to finally be a family. My life is just going so great right now, and I couldn't be happier. Jayson works 5 days a week, usually 8-10 hours a day, and he really seems to like his job, not to mention he's been happier now that he's making more money. I have started a diet to lose the rest of my baby weight. Since having Jacob, I have lost 30 pounds but would still like to lose about another 25, and I know that may take some time, but I'm determined to do it. Right now since I can't work out for another 3 weeks, I have just been eating low-fat, low-cal foods and have been drinking a lot of water. I just started my diet on Monday so I don't think I'll see any results for a while, but just knowing that I'm eating healthy makes me feel better. I also take the vitamins One A Day Weight Loss. On Saturday I'm finally getting my hair dyed back to blonde. If I can find a pic of the color I plan on getting it, I'll edit this entry and post it later. Plus, I'll make sure to take a picture of it once itz done. I'm really excited about it, plus I'm gettig a pedicure in about 2 weeks. I have decided against getting my fake nails put back on becuz I don't want to like, scratch Jacob with them, plus my own nails are quite long anyway and in good shape from when I took prenatal vitamins, so I'm gonna wait on those for a little while. I baby-sit today and tomorrow. Fun fun. LoL. Well, I think that's about all for now. Please check out my webshots if you haven't yet, and please leave me some love! Byes! 5 Miracles Make a Wish

*My Pix* [08 Jun 2004|03:04pm] [ mood | bored ] [ music | *My Immortal* - Evanescence ] Hey everyone! I made a few photo albums on webshots and would like you all to check them out and tell me what you think!

*Not Much Goin' On* [03 Jun 2004|10:44am] [ mood | bored ] [ music | *Broken* - Seether & Amy Lee ] Hey everyone. I hope you all liked my pix! I posted them myself! I finally figured out how to do it. LoL. Anyway, not too much has been goin' on with me lately. Jacob had another doctor's appointment on Tuesday, to check his birth weight, and he's back up to 8 lbs and 9 oz now, so he gained his birth weight back and then some. The doctor also said that he's as healthy as can be, which is good. He has to go back in another 2 weeks for his 1 month check-up, and then he gets his next set of shots when he's 2 months. Everyone always says how big he is but he still looks small to me. He's 2 weeks old and he's still in newborn diapers and a lot of his 0/3 month clothes are too big on him. He loves to go for car rides, though. We took him grocery shopping and he slept the whole way there and slept the whole time in the store. We got his professional pix back from the hospital. Those are the ones that were on his web page that I posted for you all to see. They're really good. His umbilical cord fell off when he was 11 days old, and me and Jay's mom gave him his first bath on Sunday, which he surprisingly liked. So that is all that is new with him. We all just love him so much and he's such a joy to have around. I had a doctor's appointment yesterday with my Ob/Gyn. It was my post-partum check-up. She checked my incision and said that itz healing nicely but I still need to take it easy for a little while. I have another appointment in a month for a pap becuz at my last one I had some abnormal cells. I'm happy to say though that since Jacob has been born, I have lost 30 pounds. I still need to lose about another 20-30 and then I'll be at my ideal weight. It may take some time, but with diet and exercise, I'm hoping to see some results in a few months. On June 12th, my sister is taking me to get my hair done. I'm having it dyed back to blonde and getting light blonde high-lights. I went back to brown when I was pregnant so I wouldn't have to worry about my roots, but now that I'm not pregnant anymore, I decided that I want to go back to blonde. My sis wants to do something nice for me, since I've been kinda down with how I look since Jake has been born. So I'm looking forward to that. Well, I think that's about all for now. I gotta go and attend to Jacob! Please leave me some love! 6 Miracles Make a Wish

*My Little Jacob* [31 May 2004|03:37pm] [ mood | good ] [ music | *Broken* - Seether & Amy Lee ] I'm still trying to find someone to post my hospital pix for me, but I know how anxious you all are to see little Jacob, so until I can post my pix, go to the following link and you'll see what he looks like! http://www.growingfamily.com/webnursery/hospitals/template/babypage.asp?URLID=6Q5W9J2F0Y 2 Miracles Make a Wish

*I'm Updating!* [28 May 2004|03:10pm] [ mood | chipper ] [ music | None ] Hey everyone! Sorry for the lack of updating and commenting. Now that Jacob is here, it seems like I never have any time for myself. I finally got the time while he is napping. He actually sleeps a lot, unless he wakes up to eat. I've been blessed with a very good little baby. He sleeps through the night. Me and Jay have to wake him up to feed him every four hours. We had to take him to the doctor earlier this week becuz since he had left the hospital, he wasn't pooping, and the reason is becuz at the hospital he was only getting 2 oz. of Similac with Iron, and once we took him home we put him on 4 oz. becuz he was always hungry, and he always drinks the 4 oz., so he ended up getting too much iron and it caused him to be constipated. So we had to get these baby supositories and I made my mom put it up his butt cuz I didn't want to hurt him, and he ended up pooping a few hours later. Then we switched his formula to Similac with Low Iron and now he's pooping just fine. The we had to take him back to the doctor becuz we thought he had an eye infection becuz his eye always had crusties on it and always watered, but the doctor told us that when babies cry, they don't produce tears until they're around 4 months old, so when he cries itz like the tears are building up in his tear ducts, which causes his eye to water and get crusty. He said there's really nothing you can do for it except wipe it clean whenever it happens, so that's what we've been doing. He has another appointment on Tuesday, to check his weight, becuz after leaving the hospital, he was 7 lbs. 15 oz., so he had lost 6 oz., which is normal, but they want to make sure by the time he's 2 weeks old (he's 10 days old right now) that he gains his birth weight back, which the doctor doesn't think is a problem since he's taking 4 oz. of formula every 4 hours. So other than that, everything is great with little Jacob. He has peed on me, his daddy, my sister, and my mom, and he threw up on me and Jay's aunt. LoL. He's been just a joy, though, and we all love him so much. Jayson had Wednesday and Thursday off of work, so he was glad to finally be able to spend time with him. He usually works from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., so really the only time he gets to spend with me and the baby is at night, when Jacob is asleep. But he gets 2 days off a week, which is good. Jayson is great with him. He just loves him so much. We all do. :) I FINALLY got some pix you all, so I'll post them as soon as I can! Some things I've learned about Jacob is that he HATES to have his hands touched or covered up, and he HATES to be dressed and changed, and he HATES to be in the dark, so we have to leave the TV on for him. LOL. Also, when he's hot, he kicks off his blankets, he can hold his own pacifier, and he can lift up his head and move it all around! On a different note, I GRADUATED! I got released from the hospital on Friday, and I made myself go to graduation on Sunday. I knew it'd be something I regretted for the rest of my life if I didn't go. I was still in quite a bit of pain from the c-section, but I took some of my pain killers and I was good to go. A lot of people were very impressed by me that I had just had a baby and still walked with my class. That was what I was going for, so I'm very proud of myself. Then Jayson took me out to a graduation dinner, just the two of us, which was very nice. To all of the young pregnant girls out there, you can still be pregnant and finish high school, as long as you push yourself to do it, like I did. That was what I wanted to prove to everyone, and I think I did. I am feeling A LOT better. I can get around a lot better now and I feel that my limitations are few. I still can't walk up and down a lot of stairs, I'm not suppose to bend over a lot, I can't lift anything over 10 pounds, and I can't have sex or work out for 6 weeks, but other than that, I'm doing quite well. I started a light diet for right now, and my swelling has gone down completely, and so has my stomach. I still get a little depressed when I look at myself in the mirror, but I know it will take some time to get my old figure back. Jayson always tells me how beautiful I am, so it helps a little. Well, I got to get going now! Jacob is fussing. I will try to comment you all soon! Please leave me some love! 4 Miracles Make a Wish

*My Baby Story* [23 May 2004|09:04am] [ mood | Proud ] [ music | none ] As you all know, I am home from the hospital and doing well. I thought you all might be interested in hearing my baby story. I arrived at the hospital on Tuesday morning around 7:30 a.m. My C-Section was scheduled for 9:00, so I had to get prepped. When I got there they took me to my room and got me into a hospital gown. After that, the nurse told me to get into the bed and she began my IV. This was a little painful, as I had expected. After that, she told me she had to start my catheter, which was also rather painful. It felt like I constantly had to piss even when I didn't. LoL. After that, I just laid in bed for a while until they were ready. Jayson was with me, holding my hand. After a little while, they brought in some scrubs for Jayson and told him he had to change. After that, they made me sit in a rocking chair so they could take my bed into the C-Section room, and they put these things on my legs that went in and out and were used for circulation. Then they made me drink this stuff that tasted like salty sugar and it was suppose to keep me from getting sick. The taste of it alone almost made me sick. Then I had to sit there and wait. I think waiting was the worst part. I started to feel a little out of it and a little tired. I think they might have put something into my IV to relax me cuz I was very nervous and shaking. Then finally, around 9:10, they came back to get me. Jayson wasn't allowed in until the surgery was almost ready to begin. I got into the surgery room and they had me get onto the table. They wanted me to lay on my left side so they could do a spinal block. I tried to, but apparently, I wasn't cooperating, so they had me sit up and bend forward as far as I could while a nurse held my arms down. They stuck a needle into my back and I'm not exactly sure what else they did but it did hurt a little. Not as bad as I thought it would, but it did hurt. It felt like a lot of pressure. After that was done, they laid me down on my back and put the oxygen thing up my nose. Then they put this thing on my finger to check my pulse and everything, and then they hooked these things to my chest to monitor my heart rate. After about five minutes, I started to feel my lower half go numb. That was an odd feeling. I started to feel more drowsy but fought to stay awake. They began to rub cleaning solution on my stomach and pelvic region, and after a few more minutes, I couldn't feel a thing. Then I seen Jayson come in and he sat in a chair by my head and held my hand. I was kinda out of it at this point but I heard Jayson telling me he was proud of me and that we were almost there. It was very comforting to have him there. I felt slight tugging and pulling as they tried to get the baby out, and then a second later, I heard my baby cry for the first time. He was finally here. They took the baby out and cleaned him off and everything and Jayson left with them, first giving me a kiss. I was somewhat upset that they didn't show him to me. I had to lay there for another 40 minutes while they stitched me back up. Jayson wasn't allowed to be in there for that. He was back in the room with the baby. After a little while, though, they brought him in to me. I guess no one could get him to stop crying, so they thought maybe he needed his mother. They laid him down next to me and told me to talk to him. I did, and he stopped crying. Looking at him, I couldn't believe how beautiful and perfect he was. A head full of brown hair and big blue eyes...he looked just like his daddy. I began to cry tears of joy, and they took him back to my room to weigh him. Finally, after what seemed like forever, I was wheeled back into my room and handed my baby. They hooked my up to a Demerol pump, which later became my best friend after the numbness weared off. My sister and parents and Jay's dad were there also, and Jayson was standing next to me, kissing me and telling me how proud of me he was. Jayson held the baby and broke down crying, tears of joy of a proud parent. It was very overwhelming and he just couldn't believe how perfect he was and that me and him had created something so wonderful. The rest of that day was kinda a blur, thanx to the drugs. I know a lot of my friends came to see me, and a few of them called me, but I hardly remember any of them. I also had visitors on Wednesday and Thursday, and then I was finally able to go home on Friday. Jayson stayed every night with me, becuz he didn't want to leave me or the baby. I've never seen Jayson love something so much. Whenever little Jacob was with us in the room, Jayson would just stare at him and stroke his cheeck and kiss him. Jacob is his pride and joy, and I know that he loves him more than anything. Jayson has been a great father so far. Since he works during the day, he does everything for him at night, like feed him and change him. We are both so proud and love Jacob so much. It has been great so far, and it feels good to finally be a family. Jacob is the best thing to ever have happened to us, and we look forward to each and every day we get to spend with him. 9 Miracles Make a Wish

*What's New* [14 May 2004|05:32am] [ mood | awake ] [ music | None ] Well, Jayson started his new job this past Monday. He gets 2 days off a week, but it kinda sux cuz itz usually never on the weekend. Like this week he got off Tuesday and Wednesday, and now he worked yesterday and also works today, tomorrow, and Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. He said he likes it and it keeps him busy, but he is usually really tired by the time he gets home. Itz a big adjustment for the both of us. I'm used to having him with me all of the time, but itz good money and we both need it so I have to look at it from that perspective. I sure do miss him, though. Yesterday was my spring choir concert. Usually itz a sad time for us seniors becuz itz the last concert we'll ever be doing at school, and itz when the reality sets in that school is almost over. I always thought I'd be happy when I didn't have to go to school anymore, but yesterday I had never been so wrong. I realize now that I'm gonna miss it terribly and miss all of my friends, especially becuz today is my last day. I guess I thought it'd be easier to say goodbye, but itz a very hard thing to do, and itz something I've been dreading. I finally got my phone yesterday. It was suppose to be ready on Wednesday but wasn't for some reason, so my mom and I picked it up yesterday. I'm really happy about finally having a phone. Itz really cute, too! Itz pink! At my doctor's appointment yesterday, I had an ultrasound and you could see the baby sucking his thumb and playing with his toes! It was the most precious thing I had ever seen! He is fully developed so I can have him any time now and he'd be just fine. My doctor has decided to give me a C-Section on Tuesday morning now. In order for her to give me a c-section, the baby has to be 4000 grams in weight, and he isn't quite there yet, so she can't use "he's too big" as a reason to go ahead with the c-section. However, she still doesn't want me to have him naturally becuz I'm such a little person and he is big, so I have to go in to the hospital on Monday afternoon and get some tests done and then she's gonna induce me. She's gonna have me be induced through out Monday night, and then if nothing happens by Tuesday morning, she's gonna do the c-section. Or if she tries to induce me and it doesn't work, she might possibly do the c-section on Monday night. She said if it seems that the inducing is getting to the point where I'm just about ready to have the baby, then she will stop my labor and go ahead with the c-section. For insurance purposes, she at least has to be able to SAY that she tried inducing me and didn't work and that is why she had to do a c-section, becuz at least this way she has a good enough reason. So as of right now, the plan is to have me go in on Monday and get ready and prepped and get me started on the inducing, and then the c-section is scheduled for Tuesday. So wish me luck, everyone! I gotta get going now! I have to get ready for school! Please leave me some love! 4 Miracles Make a Wish

*~ My Weekend ~* [10 May 2004|07:54am] [ mood | content ] [ music | "Lose Yourself" - Eminem ] My weekend was pretty boring like usual. On Friday I had to baby-sit, and on Saturday, I had to baby-sit, too. Before that, though, Me, Jay, and Jay's parents went to Nextel so they could change their plans and to get me a Nextel since I'm the only one in the family who doesn't have one. We thought it would be important for me to have one since Jay and everyone will be working while I'm at home by myself with the baby, and in case I need one of them for something, I'll have a phone. The phone I got was free, since Jay's mom said me and Jay had to pay for it and pay for my bill every month. I like the phone, itz cute and small and everything, but it comes in this like, ugly grayish black color, so Jay bought me a pink face plate for it. I have to pick it up from the store on Wednesday. I can't wait. I'm excited. Technically, it wasn't exactly free. It was free if you bought a car charger for it for $25, so that's what we did. The plan I got is only $54.99 a month, and that's with 1000 anytime minutes, free nights and weekends, free direct connect, and free caller I.D. and voice mail. After that we had to baby-sit, and that was my Saturday. Yesterday, for Mother's Day, I went to my house to visit with my mom for a little while, and I got her a card, a book of stamps (she has a lot of pen pals), and tomorrow I'm taking her to get her hair done. For Jay's mom, we got her these tennis shoes she's been wanting, a card, and 2 hanging plants. We went out to lunch, and then to the mall so she could do some shopping, and then we went to Wal-Mart to do grocery shopping. I bought a really cute summer purse from Target. Itz more like a tote, and it has white, orange, fuschia, and light pink stripes. Itz really cute. After that, we went back home and finished setting up things for the baby. That was my Sunday. That girl Jennifer I hate, who I write about sometimes, IMed me last night and starting talking to me. Since we're graduating next weekend I guess she felt she wanted to make a mends. She told me that she missed all of the times we spent 2gether when we were good friends, and that the reason we stopped being friends was stupid. She wanted to try and work things out and maybe try to be friends again, but I told her that whenever we were friends, all we did was fight and all me and Jayson did was fight, and it was always about her, and I told her that every time I have tried to be her friend, it has always ended bad. I told her that mine and Jay's lives have been better without her in them, and we've been happier and our relationship has been better. I told her the last time I decided to be her friend again I ended up regretting it, and I promised myself I wouldn't make the same mistake twice. I told her that I appreciate her trying to make things better, but I think that our lives are just fine the way they are, without her. So I guess this was my closure. Jay starts his new job today. He goes in around 10:00 a.m. and won't get out until 6:30 p.m. I'm a little sad, I suppose, becuz I'm used to having him with me when I get out of school, but this is for the best. He'll make a lot more money, which will be good for us and the baby. It'll just take some getting used to. I'm sure I'll adjust. I'm sure itz a little weird for him as well. I know he's a little nervous, but I'm sure he'll be fine. I just miss him is all. Well, I think I'm gonna go now. The bell is gonna ring in like, 2 minutes.

*The Verdict* [06 May 2004|05:26am] [ mood | scared ] [ music | None ] At my doctor's appointment yesterday, she checked me to see if I was dialating, and I'm not, she checked his heartbeat, which is good, and everything else seems to be good, too. However, we talked about how I'm measuring bigger than I should be still, and what the baby's size was at my last ultrasound. After checking me, she decided that she doesn't want me to carry him full term, in fear of him getting bigger. She also said that if I were to go into labor right now, she doesn't think I'd be "big enough" down there to have him naturally. She was originally gonna induce me a week before my due date, but now she wants to give me a C-Section on the 17th and have him that way. She said he's too big and I'm too small to have him vaginally, and it would really tear me and cause me severe pain. So I have to get another ultrasound done next Thursday to make sure he's fully developed, and if he is, she'll probably go ahead with the C-Section. I would be in the hospital for 3 days, probably, and I'd miss that week of school. But I plan on taking my exams this coming week so I can still graduate. I would be getting home from the hospital around the 20th, and my doctor said if I feel up to it, I can still walk with my class on graduation day, but it would depend on how I'm feeling. And if I can't, I'll still be able to receive my diploma. They'll just mail it to me or something. So that's the plan as of right now. I gotta admit, the thought of a C-Section is a little scary to me, and I'm terrified cuz I'll have to get the epidural block or spinal block, but I believe my doctor knows what's best for me, and that's all that matters. Well, sorry this isn't interesting. I just wanted to update and let everyone know! Leave me some love! 7 Miracles Make a Wish
