The last three days ...

[unsuspected]

 So aside from my dysfunctional family falling apart via facebook ... things are going well ...

As far as that goes, I think I have said my peace to basically all involved, little brother and mom for sure, kinda hoping mom will pass it on to dad.  If not I have told them, I am open to talking about it if they want to call or come over here ... I don't think they will take advantage of that.  Much more my family's style to pick up the rug and sweep it all under there.  And ... it's hard but ... what else can I do?  It's their home, their choices and outside of my control, even though I care for them.

Next time my mom wants to complain about Kevin though I will just tell her I can't listen to it.

Anyway ... over the weekend, after a LOT of thift store hunting I found exactly what I needed, a 4 drawer dresser with a flip top changing table for my little girl!  I needed some work, I gave it a good cleaning and scrub then polished it.  Hubby is putting on some new knobs tonight and fixing the bottom drawer then I can't wait to get her clothes all sorted and put away!  :oD

Two nights ago we went to the hospital, we had to call Robert's dad to come stay with the kids, who were already in bed.  The baby wasn't moving around as much as usual, even when I would push on my tummy she didn't really fight back and I got scared.  I laid on the sofa for like an hour just waiting, and nothing changed, so we decided to go down and have things checked out.  As soon as the nurse started strapping on the monitors, my Little Girl Who Cried Wolf started dancing and moving like normal!  Sigh, better to play it safe than sorry, right.   

But they also did an ultrasound and I got an awesome peek at her pretty little face!  I got to see her lips move as she was sucking on some imaginary boobie.  :oD  And I fell in love all over again with this little person whom I thought we didn't need.  I am so thankful for her and to Our Heavenly Father for the blessings He knows we need even when they are not in our plans.

BUT ... laying there in that hospital bed brought back all the delivery pain memories and ugh ... I am not looking forward to another c-section, another hospital stay and Ohhhhh, the recovery! 

Then last night So Cal was rocking with a 4.4 earthquake at 4:04 in the morning (I think).  It was weird.  I was already awake, contemplating getting out of bed, again, to go pee, again.  My husband woke up right when the shaking started, put his arm out to hold me and yelled 'Wake Up!"  LOL ... THAT scared me more than the actual earthquake because my husband sleeps like a log and I didn't think he would wake up at all!  Thought it was sweet that he reached out to save me though!  :oD

It was just a smaller rumble here because the epicenter was in Norwalk or Long Beach, I think.  But it took me awhile to go back to sleep because I kept thinking there was a bigger one coming.

I have a dr.'s appointment today so I should log off and get things ready for that.

Oh, last bit of good news .... we got our tax return!  :oD  Can't wait to schedule the repairs on the air conditioner!  :oD  Yeah!
