May

May is going to be a very interesting & full month. I had my OB appt on the 1st & girl's lunch on the 2nd. I have an echocardiogram on the 10th, I fly home the 17th, my baby shower the 19th, fly home the 22nd, family comes out the 28th-29th, OB appt on the 29th, & an ultrasound the 31st. Busy!

May has not started healthy. Last week I was super healthy & wanted so much to get back on the eating right train. Yeah, not this week. I want junk junk junk! I did finally go to Curves for the first time in like 2 weeks yesterday. I had to drug myself to sleep with Children's Benadryl but it was SOOOO worth it. I slept good & felt amazing when I woke up. Felt amazing working out & after I worked out. I even took the dogs around our little block. My hips & butt were hurting. Not sure how Mike is doing, he hasn't talked about it.

Pregnancy-all is well I suppose. I recorded our daughter's heartbeat at my appt. I bought a few things from an army wife who had a 2 month old daughter. A sanitizer, belly pillow, bottle rack, & a breast feeding cover that was too small. I got my first baby gift! YAY! Such adorable stuff. Mike even seemed happy about everything we got. He remarked "I'm surprised there isn't a monkey on the butt" of one of the onsies "there is always a monkey on the butt of these things". Then he pulled out the bunny outfit that did have the bunny on the butt. "Like this". But he seemed to really like everything. Maybe because it was our first baby present. :) He hasn't been interested in any of the clothes I've bought.

Our daughter is going to be known as Penny for P.N.D/Poor Nameless Daughter for now! Every name I've picked is vetoed! I was told Katherine, the name I had picked YEARS ago, was an old person's name. Abigail is an old person's name. Madilyn is a "grey haired, tea & crumpets" person's name. It's not a nice simple "nope, don't like it", he goes on & on about how horrible the name is. Don't be surprised when I knock his ass out with drugs when it comes time to filling out the birth certificate. I take naming our daughter very seriously & I pick names that I love, that I could see our daughter being named. He refuses to pick any or discuss names. I am so frustrated by him! I don't want to go to the hospital with no idea what we're naming her. We don't have to be completely set, I understand her name may change once we meet her, but at least have a few that we're agreed on. So Penny it is until he gets his head out of his ass so we can come up with some names.

Why Penny is PERFECT(right now)!

Mike's car is Penny & it's his baby! Baby Girl is my baby!(our baby yes but he's off in lala-land).
Mike's car cost him a pretty penny & has continued to cost us a pretty penny with all the work she's needed, plus the 2 times she's been in the paint shop. Our daughter is going to cost us many many pretty pennies over the years. I will have fun spending those pennies!
And...that's all I got.
