It's 2:17 AM & I can't sleep (again). I thought good sex was supposed to help you relax & sleep better! WTF! Yes, DH & I had good sex but it woke the child I'm carrying inside of me up. Now this child is praticing gymnastics, using my insides for padding! UGH! That & the OJ I drank is giving me MAJOR gas. Wouldn't you know it, DH & DD are sleeping like angels in their beds. That's okay because when this baby comes, NONE of us will be getting much sleep. As for medical insurance, ours changed on January 1st. We still haven't received our new insurance cards & DH Bosslady refused to get me ANY info on our insurance. Finally I told DH either he gets info or I drive to the office & demand it myself. Without a phone number I couldn't even call & make sure the cards were on their way! Since my next appointment was to be January 17th, I really NEEDED the info ASAP. I call the insurance company only to find out that the insurance DH has been paying for to cover DD & I, wasn't even in their computer system! WTF! I call DH & tell him about it & he asks me if I called his Bosslady yet. I calmly assured him that he didn't want me to call her at that time because I was really ticked. To be on the safe side, I called my Dr & changed my appointment to January 27th. HELLO! We want to find out the gender of our child sometime before it is born!!!! Needless to say I am MORE than a little annoyed about that. Everythings not bad though in my world. DD has begun to potty train with some success. Each time she uses the potty chair she gets a sticker for her potty chair chart. Each night whe Daddy comes home from work she takes him to her bathroom to show him her new stickers for the day. I went to her room to check on her & she has the doll cradle my Grandfather Tompkins made filled with teddy bears of various sizes, watching a movie with her on her bed. this is VERY fitting becuase before my Grandfather Tompkins had a stroke, he collected teddy bears & ended up with over 300 of them. They were all sizes, types & price ranges. The one he sent home with us before his stroke is so large that he had to buy the bear it's own plane ticket to get it home! What makes it extra special is that my mother made it for him one Christmas. It was also one of his favorites. My best friends FIL is off of a respirator for a collapsed lung. He is an alchololic & got really drunk. While drunk, he fell & landed on a coffe table. In doing so, he broke two ribs, punctured & partially collaped a lung & contracted pneumonia while recovering in the hospital. That was 15 days ago. Today, he was able to sit up in a chair unassisted & is off the respirator. Her 3 1/2 tear ods son had his first soccer game & scored a goal. She has a Dr appointment tomorrow due to an abnormal pap smear. The last abnormal one determined her to have precancerous cells. She had surgery & had them removed, but that was before she had kids. She's now DONE having kids so she claims not to be concerned. I know better. I offered to watch the kids while she was at the Dr so her MIL could be at the hospital. MIL wants the distraction & to watch the kids, but my best friend was very greatful that I offered. Since I love her like my own sister, it's the least I could do. We are planning to meet next weekend so we can deliver our old computer desk to her house & assemble it. DH fixed their refridgerator about 2 weeks ago & it's still going strong. her DH thanked us again for that. DH was like "They have given us so much stuff & have done so much for you (meaning me) I owe it to them. I owe them that & more". It feels good to give them something for a change. Even DH said that. The value of our home has increased by nearly $50,000 since we moved in 2 years ago. That was a nice surprise. I could go on but I'm FINALLY getting sleepy, am nearly gasless & the baby has calmed down. Until next time.... stay safe.
