Yesterday night I got really bad cramps and called the hospital to see if I should do something about it. No one there was really much of any help. My husbands mom, Barbara and my sister-in-law Mary were of great help though, so at least I had them. My cramps started at 10:30pm and didn't really stop until 5:30pm tonight. But for now they have subsided and that's a good thing.
I found out that Sam made 3rd class which is totally awesome since there was suppose to be like no chance that he'd make it. I'm so proud of him. We got along yesterday except for one little blow up by me before we went to bed, and I think he's forgiven me for that.
I went to Dairy Queen just before I came to the library and I met a nice young navy man and his wife. They are Henry and Angie and Angie is pregnant. She is due to have a baby boy on July 26th... That's Sam's birthday. Anyway, I got their phone numbers and they got mine. They live fairly close and were very nice to have ice cream with. Henry talks just about as much as me and Angie was quiet but she seems sweet. I am excited to call them or to hear from them again.
I have a phone date with Barbara at 8:00pm my time tonight. We probably won't talk much because Derek (my brother-in-law) has a baseball game. I really miss Sam's family. I have only spent two weeks with them in person but they are very kind and fun people. I'm so excited to visit Wisconsin. I'm almost afraid that I'm too excited. I hope the weather is nice and that I stay as busy as I'm planning on staying.
I'm really not sure how some people seem to write forever in this journal. I actually have time today and I can't think of that much to write. I mean, if I had internet access at home it might be different because then as things surfaced in my mind I could write about them. When I come to the library it almost feels like I'm under pressure to write and then I can't think of things to say.
The other day I called a "help hotline" and the conselor told me that I should get therapy for my low self esteem. I think it's funny how sometimes I can emit a great amount of confidence and be a very happy and social person and other times I want to be a hermit and have nothing to do with anyone or anything. I think a part of it lately, like since I moved to Virginia has been that, even if I make friends it's not like I can spend time with them every time I want. It's not a horrible thing, in fact it's a part of life. Sometimes though it gets frustrating because I have a husband who likes me around when he's around and other female friends that I aquire have husbands or boyfriends too who expect the same from them. I'm not saying Sam would hate it or have a problem with it if I hung out with other people once in a while, I'm just saying I feel obligated to spend time with him when there is actually time available to spend with him.
Tomorrow I work and I'm excited and nervous at the same time. Ethan and Matthew tired me out very quickly, especially when the weather is nice, and being pregnant doesn't ease my exhaustion. I'm trying to figure out a way to keep them happy and me comfortable. I guess I'll just have to see what comes up.
There's an interesting website I want to check out it's something like http://www.adaa.org and it has to do with anxiety. I saw it advertised on the 12 o'clock new this afternoon.
Tomorrow night I plan on watching the friends finale. Ever since I started watching the show I don't think I've ever seen any episode in sequence. I always find it playing on the re-run channels, but tomorrow I plan to watch the final episode right along with everyone else. Even though I never really watched it faithfully I still really enjoyed the episodes that I did catch and I'm a little bit sad over the fact that the series is coming to an end. Hopefully I can get the collection on DVD, then it won't be such a loss.
My first appointment with my OB-GYN is on May 19th. Mary, my sister in law asked me to get one set up sooner but I don't really have the minutes on my cell phone to do that right now. I had planned on going to a pay phone, but I didn't feel like moving until after 5:30pm tonight and the office was closed by then. I think Sam may come with me, he hasn't requested off yet, but I think he still has time.
Oooh, I took film to get developed today. I should be able to pick it up after I'm done babysitting tomorrow. I also get to pick up my little brother Isaiah's birthday present and mail it to him. His birthday was last Sunday, but he's a nice understanding brother who understands that my husband got a speeding ticket which caused unexpected expenses. Someday I'll make a mistake that costs Sam and I $100 or so and then I won't be able to talk, but until then... bwahahahaha!

lol... for someone who doesn't know how to go on forever, that was a pretty long entry!! :o) I can't wait until you come visit! You'll get to see my big baby belly before I shrink back to normal :o) How long are you staying for anyway?
Good luck at your OB appointment. They're always *loads* of fun. haha. I have to start back with my internal exams starting the 18th. I'm just soooooo thrilled. Or not. Oh well. Anything to keep baby healthy!
