It's been a month...

-How is it March 1st already?? I'm happy it's March, but March will seriously be the LONGEST month for me. We have no days off, we will lose an hour on March 8th for daylight savings, and my family will be going to Florida WITHOUT ME :( So unfair, but understandable at the same time. Not being able to hear the ocean this year makes me sad.

-I just ate 10 oreos for breakfast and I'm contemplating a few more. This needs to stop. I cannot keep buying them.

-I got my hair highlighted yesterday. I asked for the same colors (1 blond, 1 light brown/dark blonde, and 1 brown low light). The end result was shocking. My hair is MUCH blonder than I anticipated. Ashlen thinks it took a little differently because I'm pregnant. That might be the case, I dunno. All I know is my hair is REALLY blonde. And I'm just not sure I can rock it anymore.

-I will be 20 weeks on Thursday! Look how big that baby is! I wish I still didn't feel like crap (literally). Constipation, diarrhea, and hemorrhoids are kicking my ass and sucking my will to live. I rarely leave the house, aside from going to work, because I never know when my horrible stomach issues will suddenly appear. Thankfully I have my doctors appointment tomorrow...he better have a solution...and that solution better not be to eliminate oreos from my diet and start eating healthier :)

-You would think since I had a 3 day weekend, I'd be all caught up on everything I need to do so I could spend Sunday relaxing. No. I have a unit to plan today, and lots of cleaning. I'm so bummed...I've been wanting a scrapbooking day for the longest time, but it just never happens.

-My poor Gramps has had a rough week. Last Monday one of the nurses at his assisted living home found him on the floor. He had no idea how he got there, or how long he had been there. He had badly broken his ankle. The previous day he passed out at the casino. Turns out he has a non life threatening leukemia, but pair that with the Alzheimer's and he is a mess. He couldn't even remember how to play Skipbo when I went to visit him last Sunday. He couldn't remember his voicemail code and continued to dial *69 and rack up an enormous bill. My mom decided to move him to a nursing home in Wisconsin, close to her home but that means far from me. He will never get to see his "girlfriend", Minnie again and I'm sad for both of them. I don't think he'll live to see my baby and that makes me even more sad. Everything that is going on reminds me of Grandma Bunny's last few months. It's definitely sad to watch grandparents slip away.

-8 days until I know if my baby is a boy or a girl! I can guarantee this will be a LONG week!

I am sorry to hear about your Grandpa, it is never easy to watch someone struggle like that. I will keep you guys in my thoughts as he transistions to his new home.

As for the pregnancy, I totally remmeber those days. But another 20 weeks you will forget all about the horrible pregnancy stories... and believe me it is so worth it!! As for you finding out what you are having that is so exciting, but it will seem like the longest week ever! And I know how much you want a girl but everytime I picture you with a baby it is a boy (I think that is becuase we all have boys already). I can't wait to hear the good news, and good luck at your Dr Appt, I hope he can tell you something that will make you feel better for the second half of your pregnancy! Oh yeah, that baby on your ticker looks huge... it has to be a boy!
