A childhood dream fulfilled

Today we purchased a piano. I am really excited about it, because I have wanted to continue lessons for a long time. I first started taking lessons when I was five years old living in Kentucky. We moved to Texas and some how I never took lessons again.

Well, now that I am grown I can continue my lessons, which has been a dream of mine for the longest time. Now I can even teach my husband and the baby to play. How exciting!

Bitter sweet

Well it is official, I am now deferred from school until May 2007. I am sad and excited all at the same time. The sadness comes because I really was looking forward to knocking out this year in my life so that I could continue on with my career climbing the ladder.

On the other hand, I am ecstatic because the deferment means that the baby is doing well. I am also facing the sheer fact that I will be a mother soon. Something I have always wanted. I am especially excited, because we thought we might not be able to have children. We were beginning to prepare ourselves mentally for the option of adoption. Now that's a blessing finding out to our surprise that I was pregnant.

No matter that my timeline did not work out perfectly as I planned it, I have no regrets. I know that I will still continue on with my career, and I hope and pray that I will be a good mommy.

Not enough time

I have this horrible overwhelming feeling that I just do not have enough time to accomplish all of the things that I need to do. My To Do List grows and grows, as I am supposed to be taking it easy because I am pregnant. Not to mention the things that are added due to people thinking I am bored and need something to do. Trust me I have plenty to do! Yeah right, I now understand the saying "A woman's work is never done".

The baby's nursery has no furniture, nothing on the walls, matter of fact I have not purchased one thing yet for the baby. How sad is that? Time still keeps on flying.

Hopefully my raging hormones will calm down leaving me to feel better. Right now I do not have a clue where to start on my To Do List, because I feel so overwhelmed. Oh, the pressure of becoming a new mom.

Allergies Suck

For the past week I have felt miserable due to allergies. Not being able to take anything useful because I am pregnant has made things worse. All I can take is Benedryl, which helps sometimes, but always leaves me feeling like I am in a fog. At least I can finally breathe again.

I can't believe I broke out because I used Vicks Vapor Rub. Can you believe that? I have this red very itchy rash everywhere I put it. Oh yeah, this would be the time I put it on my nose, above my lip, and all over my chest. I feel like a Hot Mess!

The baby is moving around more and more everyday. This seems to lift my spirits. I try to get the baby to respond to me tapping on my tummy, but no luck yet. Tapping seems to make the baby stop moving. I get so excited when I feel the movements (little tiny flutters). I feel bad for my husband because he can not experience it. All I can do is tell him about it, and try to let him feel my tummy. By then it is usually too late, and he misses all the movement.

I Just Need to Vent

Well I must say that I was enlightened tonight while at dinner with my husband. Did you know that men have an excuse to be excused, "Because they are men"? Well I most certainly did not know. I was quickly told by my male chauvinistic husband.

Would you believe that I was told that because they are men Men are excused and allowed or expected to be nasty. Meaning that if they want to piss on the floor and leave it for you to step in, then guess what? They are allowed to do so. I do not believe that I am overeacting, but this is just wrong and ridiculous. Could he have not thought of a better excuse than that. Maybe he just wanted to push my buttons and piss me off. Well, mission accomplished.

It's the Weekend Baby

I love Fridays! I have no clue about what I would like to do this weekend, but I am sure glad that the weekend is here. I had a bit of a rough week. Tuesday night I got sick and it lasted on into Wednesday. I began to feel better Thursday ( I even went to yoga and Tai Chi), but I still do not have an appetite. Hopefully the weekend will lead to better things.

In Loving Memory of Coretta Scott King 1927-2006

What an inspiration this woman was to many, as well as myself. Mrs. King will be missed dearly. As our female Civil Rights pioneers pass on (Rosa Parks and Mrs. King), we must rise to the challege and continue their great works. Please do not let their hard work be in vain. We must continue on the journey for peace and equality for all.
