It's been a while

[LMDB910]

I don't post here very often, mostly because I forget.  But on the off chance that someone wants to know what's going on with me, here is a quick rundown:

Jack turned one on July 8th.  My heart has been living outside of my body for an entire year!  he has taught me so much, and I've taught myself alot as well.  I love being a Mom, and I love my son.

As of today, I'm 18 weeks and 4 days pregnant with #2.  We are finding out the gender on August 4th.  I have no particular feeling as to what the gender is, and I really don't care.  As long as the baby is healthy, I could care less what the gender is.

There is talk about a legit work from home job for me, working for my Mom's old boss.  I'm hesitant but hopeful.  We could seriously use the money, and as Jack is getting more and more self-sufficient, I could use something a bit more useful to keep me busy...Cafe Mom is fun and all, but getting paid is much more fun.

I've been feverishly planning the second baby's baptism.  It's not going to be until January, but I feel that it's never too soon to start planning.  I procrastinate with many things, but when it comes to my kids, the sooner I start planning the better.  My SIL has offered to throw the baptism reception at her house for me.  I was completely shocked by her extremely generous offer.  I don't know if we will take her up on it for various reasons, but her offering to do something so huge for me is staggering and I appreciate it more than she will ever know.

I've been trying very hard to reconnect, and STAY connected to my friends.  It's working on some fronts, on others, not so much.  There is a movie coming out entitled "How to alienate yourself and lose friends"...I laughed and thought the subtitle could be "Have a baby!!!", but I refrained from saying anything to the people I was with, as they are two people who I'm having this issue with. It's weird, when I finally make peace with the fact that my life has changed and so have the relationships in my life, something happens, and I get pissed off all over again.  I just never thought I'd lose my friends because I had a baby.

I wish to be honest with a best friend of mine.  She can't read this.  I wish to tell her that something she said a year ago really insulted me, and really sent me into a downward spiral.  She surely doens't remember it, and I didn't realize that it was bothering me until today.  I don't know what to do about it.

Oh well, a poopy diaper calls...
