| | excited | ] |
i'm three weeks away from my due date and very excited to finally see, kiss, hug, hold my daughter. on the flip side, i'm completely horrified of labor. i have no idea what to expect, how it's really going to feel, what's going to happen, if everything is going to go alright. i'm just at a total loss, because i've never done this before. and as much as i'm excited to be able to hold this child, rather than just hauling her around in my uterus, i have no idea what i'm going to do with her! i've never lived with a newborn, i've never had anyone depend on me to do EVERYTHING for them. i have no idea whether or not i'm going to be a good mother. and then..what if something happens and something goes wrong. i don't want to get my hopes up about having a healthy baby, because what if she's not? babies die all the time because of complications during labor and then there's SIDS. what do i do then? i've been waiting nearly a year for this baby to come and she could die or get hurt or get terribly sick and then what? i know i shouldn't be doing all this "what if" nonsense, but it's really hard not to think about all the awful things that could happen when you have no idea what the outcome is going to be like. and i know it's like that for so many situations, but this is another living, breathing (almost) human being that i made! that i've been carrying around and growing to perfection for 9 months. i just want her to be healthy and i want her to be here, so that we can love her. devin is so excited - he keeps telling her to come out, so he can hold her. she moves around every time he comes home from work & she hears his voice. we both love watching her wiggle her butt inside my belly. right now she has the hiccups. |

| | happy | ] | so, today i'm 21 weeks, 1 day pregnant. and i got an ultrasound this morning for an anatomy screening, meaning we found out that we're having a girl! seeing that teeny baby on the screen was the absolute coolest thing i've ever looked at in my whole life. she was moving around so much & her mouth was opening and closing & she kept kicking against the wand the tech was using. i started crying & devin was right there & he said he almost started crying & it was so amazing. i'm so happy & i don't think my mood will change for quite a few days. i'm having a girl and i'm going to name her chloe. :) |

| | crazy | ] | i don't like anything anymore. i don't like being pregnant. i don't like anyone i used to hang out with. i want to run away and forget any of this ever happened. but it fucking sucks, because as much as i hate being pregnant, this baby thing has seeped into my mind & i can't stop think about him/her. and it makes me feel confused & sad & like a bad person. |

| | excited | ] | i'm better lately. not so sad. not so bored. not so lonely. getting over my hormones, i guess. or just realizing that that's all everything is. three out of four of my summer classes began this week. very interesting ones - women & social action, politics in movies, and art of africa, asia, and the americas. as for the baby update, this kid has been moving so much lately. and i went to the dr. last week & dev came with & he got to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time. it was amazing, he was so elated afterward. i'm glad he got to hear that, because i've been feeling bad, 'cause the baby isn't big enough for him to feel he/she moving, so he hasn't really had any idea as to what's going on in there. :) |

i feel like some kind of god damned leper. i haven't seen/heard from any of my friends in going on three weeks. i'm not contagious...i'm not that boring now...i can stay awake if i take a nap before i go out...i can still smoke grass, i just don't as often. i don't know. i guess i can't blame people if they don't want to hang out with a pregnant chick, but i just didn't think that people i've been friends with close to ten years would bail on me just because of this. it just doesn't make this any easier. and i wish i could just run away, but i can't because i'm not going to just take devin's baby away from him, 'cause that would make him sad and i love him and stuff, so i don't want to make him sad. i don't know what the hell to do, but i can't go through this without friends. |

the nausea is waning finally and so are the migraines. but now i'm retaining a lot of water and my right knee is swollen for no reason? and i feel like i'm schizophrenic when i get filled with rage out of nowhere, but then start laughing within the next 5 minutes. my emotions are making me feel like i'm going through puberty again (ewww). and it's very strange, because i can feel where the baby is and it's kind of odd to be growing a person. but it's pretty cool, too, 'cause i helped make him/her..hopefully him. i want a boy...so does Devin. he's started yelling "boooooyyyyy" directly into my uterus....although, we can't figure out a name for a boy. well, i think we have a middle name.. Liam, 'cause it's the irish version of William and that's Devin's middle name, so i thought that was kinda cool...but, we have no first names....okay, i'm done with my baby update. |

so, i'm getting really excited. we have 17 days left until we leave. we have an actual apartment, like... a place to live that is not someone else's home. i can't wait to hang out with my friends and see my siblings and my mom and my cousins and my grandma. and to be in NY!! 'cause NY is better than North Carolina. I'm still trying to figure out what's going on with my transfer, but in the meantime, i'm looking for jobs elsewhere just in case. i just can't wait to be home..

i don't know what to do. today, i took on a third job working two days a week at a "green" cafe and catering for them about 5 days a month. i began my second job, baby-sitting two monsters, a week ago. tomorrow, i am beginning the process of transferring to the sales floor in nordstrom. my aunt is really happy that i'm working so much and so am i. i don't think i've ever been so motivated in my life. it's really weird, 'cause i feel like devin and i switched our priorities around when we moved down here. a year ago today, i was jobless and a bum. devin did everything for me and worked two jobs and paid for everything. since we moved, devin has kept his part-time job at ben and jerry's ice cream scoop shop and i don't have time to shower. i don't care about him working part-time, i like being busy and feeling responsible. my aunt, however, has a really big issue with devin working part-time. she told me today that devin is dragging me down...i told her that i completely disagree. i love him and i see nothing wrong with what he's doing. i know we're young and blah blah, but we've formed a pretty tight companionship and we share our finances and i don't have a problem with that. i can't explain how i feel about devin, but i think he's the greatest guy in the whole world and you know, sometimes one of us just needs some down time and the other has to support things and that's okay with me. he's depressed and i feel bad, because it hurts me that he's sad because of one of my family members. i want to move back to ny, but that would be one of the stupidest decisions i could make. i have 3 really well-paying jobs now and it's so much cheaper down here. we're visiting home for 3 days in march. i don't talk to anyone...i'm sad. i want someone to come visit me if i get an apartment down here. i don't know what to do. |

i have an issue understanding how some families just don't like each other. i spent my thanksgiving listening to arguing. the hunter's are just not happy people and i don't get it. i've never been at my grandma carlino's while everyone is over and heard everyone screaming at each other. i mean, the carlino's are really loud, but not in a negative way. i get really upset when i'm told that i'm a hunter, 'cause i'm not mean. i don't think that i'm better than everyone, i don't judge people, i don't say bad things about people that i don't even know. my aunt that i'm currently living with likes to say bad things about my mom. she also decided to start bashing my mom's boyfriend, Bruce last night. and that made me really upset, because she doesn't know anything about him or the situation between him and my mother. and he's so nice and he's such a good dad to my siblings and me and he doesn't even have to be. i don't like hearing people that have taken care of me being talked about like shit. it hurts my feelings. and the bigger issue is, all of the hunters are like that. they all just dislike my mom and the rest of her family and i don't understand why. they're not bad people...but my other family has to refer to them as white trash. i love my dad's side of the family, but i'm having a difficult time liking them. my aunt has also just been being really mean to me lately, for reasons that i'm not sure of. she yelled at me last night and called me a selfish bitch for talking to her while she was watching a t.v. sitcom. i decided that that made no sense whatsoever, so the comment didn't hurt me, but the fact that it just didn't make sense and it seemed as though she was just yelling at me to hurt my feelings did hurt. she called me a fat ass the other day and i asked her not to speak to me like that and she told me that i was an idiot and to bite her. because of my family's actions, devin has decided that he wants to move back up north as well. so we are both taking on second jobs after the holidays and moving to pennsylvania in the summer. i am happy, because i just made my last payment to walden savings bank, where i had a delinquent account. so i can now open a bank account - finally!! - after not having one for over a year. devin is getting a motorcycle and i'm getting a car. he shaved his entire face yesterday. he has a chin!! and our 1 year anniversary is in 2 days. there are good things. |

i guess i should update this. things are going well - davey was here last week & that made me very happy and a lot less depressed. less homesick, too. devin and i have been having many conversations and we've decided that we're not going to live together after next summer. i want to move to philadelphia, 'cause i'm hating being this far away from home & i want to live in amajor city. and i really want to see if i can do something that big by myself. we're not breaking up. just being independent from each other. we share everything and we've been living together since we started dating and it's not really doing amazing things to our relationship. moving down here together was more to get both of us away from our mothers and away from cornwall. things with us are better now. i totally didn't want to be near him for a good 3 weeks and we didn't even sleep together for 2 of those weeks. our anniversary is next month and i'm excited. i'm also almost done paying off my bank. one more payment and i'm done. and i'm finally getting my own phone, so i'll have a new number in the coming weeks. work is alright. i hate the people that come into that place. i hate working for corporations. it just blows. but it pays well for down here, so i'm sticking with it and transferring to another nordstrom in king of prussia, pa. it's about 25 minutes from south philly, so that's about the same commute i'm making down here. i figure it would just be easier to have a job when i get there. although, i'm flirting with the idea of coming home at the end of june for my brothers' graduation and staying at my mom's for a month or two and getting a puppy, since i'm not entirely thrilled with living by myself and chillin' for a bit. depends on how much money i can save up in between now and then. i'll be home dec 23 and i can't wait. i hate being here away from all my friends. it sucks. it doesn't suck as much as it did, though. okay, i guess that's it. |
