Its Just Life....I Think!?!

Some of you may not know but last Monday I was let go from Kid to Kid. Their reason was that they had hired another girl before they got ownership and she was starting this week! They offered me my job their first day of ownership. So I guess they couldn't keep me,yeah ok I didn't love it there anyways but it helped pay bills and made it possible for Nick and I to still do things. Its been a week now and I haven't had any luck in the world with finding a job. Ive applied everywhere and no one will take on the risk of hiring a pregnant girl...which I might add can work alot harder then these high school children getting the jobs~ I thought I had a job at Dairy Queen, I stood up and her first question was "So how many kids do you have?" I replied with "Just the one on the way, but I have a ways to go still!" Suddenly her tone changed from Im going to work something out on the schedule to we will call you if we get an opening! Are you kidding me? You have a GIANT now hiring sign up and ads online, and your going to call me if you get an opening!? Nick tells me to have more faith and I know I should but I can't find anything! And employers are doing exactly what they shouldn't be...discriminating! I can work every bit as hard as people who aren't pregnant, I have an easy schedule, and plan on working untill I have the baby and then going back! Somehow that isn't good enough? I don't know what else I can do at this point. I went to the LDS employment office this morning and the sister there was very helpful but didn't hesitate to say that its going to be very hard for me to find something. She has since called me twice for 2 jobs that just came in that might work for me. Ive applied even at Convergy's and even they turned me down! Walmart, Kmart and Shopko...still haven't heard anything from them. Im trying to stay strong and go on with life and pretend everything is just fine but its really not! I want to just give my old employer a piece of my mind. I want her to know how much she has hurt not only me, but my family! But, my mother didn't raise me that way....I was taught you just smile and walk away things will work out the way the Lord wants them to in the end! I just keep thinking of our child and what if I can't find a job? How are we going to afford a baby? We have cut every corner we can, there is nothing more to cut and its still hard for us! The economy stinks and people who are trying to live a normal life can't because gas is to expensive, groceries are starting to add up, and every other little thing! Im just stressed about not having a job, those of you that know me really well know that me staying home drives me insane. I become very depressed and start to fall apart. Right now I have no reason to stay home and Im starting to go insane slowy...I know when I have the baby Ill be home but thats different! But enough of me being Debbie Downer....

On the more positive side of things...I went to the doctor today and finally I gained weight! Never thought I would be happy about that. Heard the baby's little heart beat and the doctor sounded happy with everything.Im 18 weeks now but Im measuring about 20 and a half...he was also kinda shocked that I had already felt the baby, but completely blown away at the fact that Nick has felt the baby kick. He said that should happen for another 2 weeks about...he said its great though that the baby can kick hard enough that you can feel it on the outside!
Nick felt the baby last week sometime and Ill never forget that look on his face, one of totally happiness, fear and just weird! Since then he hasn't wanted to feel the baby but I don't blame him, I still think its weird. Its comforting knowing everything is ok but at the same time I just want to yell stop. This kid is non stop! From the time I get up till the time I go to bed Im constantly feeling something. And its kicking hard enough to wake me up at night...Im so looking forward to the next few months! Im just keeping my fingers crossed that with me measuring farther along that Ill have the baby sooner!!!!

Nick's Political Soapbox

Nick has started his own little blog....Notoriously Conservative http://notoriouslyconservative.blogspot.com
Many of you know that he gets very into politics and now he is speaking his mind not only to me and other loved ones but its now on the internet for everyone to see. He is very proud of it and I love that it makes him happy! Go check it out for him and pass it on to friends and family. Make sure to leave your input on things. Soon things will be more in depth but for now its just basic!

Also, just a little news about the baby. Last night after eating more then I ever thought possible we were walking around Big Lots and I felt the first little kick. I felt it a few times after that and Ive been so happy since then. Its really a baby and its growing in me! Im thinking the baby was kicking me for eating so much! Who knows??

Wow its been a while

This is just a little update nothing major, I'm sorry :o(
So I'm due November 14th and we will find out June 27th what we are having. Longest wait of my life!!! But I would put money on it being a girl...don't know why, maybe the dreams and just little things here and there that I notice. Either way I'll be happy of course....
I'm now officially huge and its pregnant huge not I ate way to many Twinkies huge, don't know how I feel about this all but its all worth it to have a beautiful girl (or boy I guess haha). Pregnancy is going ok I guess Ive ran into a few problems but nothing major according to the doctor. I passed out a few times which I guess is caused from the baby basically sitting on a vein and so blood pressure drops....and then so do I. But I'm sitting now when I don't feel right...which I should have done before. My iron is great if its just me...only now there is a baby in me so basically my iron sucks. So on top of folic acid and prenatals, I'm taking iron now! Plus, I have this weird phobia of taking pills! Isn't that just wonderful??

I still wonder every night when am I going to feel that first little kick? I'm so impatient and pregnancy seems to this on going game almost. Half way through the game you finally find out what your having and then who knows when the growing and the never ending stomach will end. Even after you have the little bundle of joy I can only imagine the game doesn't stop...the crying at night, the first little laugh, seeing who the baby looks more like, and so on....

I guess this game has only begun....I guess its just life!
