Car problems

I wanted to blogg about this the other day but since I'm like never home, I just have to do it all in one day. On Monday after my Dr. appointment, Mianna and I decided to go to the commissary to get food. We got about 175 bucks of food, got it all loaded in the car and then went to start the car and it wouldn't start. I had to call for roadside assistance and it took 45 min. In the meantime we had to take all the cold stuff like ice cream, milk and meat, back into the store for them to hold it for us. Pop a Lock finally came and jump-started my car. We drove home just fine. I got up the next morning on Tuesday and went to work. I left work around noon since I had a dentist apt for Mianna and I had to go gas the car first. After I got gas in it didn't want to start, but then I tried again and I got it started. I went home to pick up Mianna and lets just say I had to leave my car on at the dentist office. While they gave Mianna her cleaning I ran around the corner to a car shop and had the battery tested, sure enough it was really low. They didn't have my size battery but I was able to find it at Wal-Mart. I had to leave Mianna in the running car, so that no one would steal it while I ran in to buy a battery. We made it home safe, let the car cool down and then Mianna helped me and we changed the battery out. After all of that I had to get dressed and ready for my second job and made it up there on time. I had no radio the entire drive and the next few days, till I figured out how to input the code for my anti thief radio. Now I have make sure my emissions sets it self back to normal after a few days of driving. It's crazy how car are so computerized now. I was happy that I didn't have to reset the hands fee system for my cell phone. I did have to reset the clock and that was all. The car is driving like a champ now and it's hard to believe I have so many miles on it and it's only 2 years old. I have to keep an eye on my alternator I’m sure it will go next. I do love my car, but not sure if it will be enough room with a teenager, and a baby car seat in the back. I might trade it in for a bigger vehicle.

Rich on his first trip

On Wed. Richie's ship pulled out to sea, it's just a short det for them to go load equipment in New Jersey and then they take a few days to go to Main, for the Lobster festival and then I guess back to VA. I'm waiting for his call since he said they should pull in some time this afternoon. Mianna is asleep on the couch; you would think she is the PG, with all the sleeping she does. I swear, when Rich was home for a few days, he was just the same way. Everyone around me gets sleepy and all the symptoms, Not me, I'm just find. I fell pretty well. I do have cramps from time to time and last night was pretty bad. I get it low in my pelvic area and it hurts enough to bring my eyes to water. No morning sickness, only slight nausea in the evening, but it goes away as soon as I eat some thing. I have had a slight problem brushing my teeth in the morning but I think it's more mental and I just have to focus when I brush my teeth. Ehhehe. I don't know, what ever. I need to call the hospital to make my next apt. And that will be about 3-5 weeks from now. I'm supposed to make a dentist apt too. Anyways, all is well here and we are just chilling at home. I gave my two weeks notice at my second job and so that will all be over by the end of the month. Next month is my B-day and I look forward to my Mom and cousin coming out to visit from Cali.

Today I had my first visit with my Dr, and got to see the baby. It was such an awsome feeling to see the little guy bouncing around and kincking and stretching and we even got to see the heart beating really fast. We didn't get to hear the heart beating like we wanted to, but it's okay. We did see toes, fingers, legs, tummy area and a Big Big head, oya a little nose. so cute.

New front yard

On Saturday Richard and I decided to hit he fron yard hard and clean it up. We worked for 6 long hours and pulled over 300 lb of weeds. I got happy with my new electric trimmer and was playing Edward scissor hands with the shrubs and trimmed the hell out of the bushed and also a tree in the front yard. After clearing out all the junk we got new mulch and filled in a few spots with some sod. Rich also power wahed the sidewalk and the sides of the house.

Happy Surprise

I woke up around 2am when I heard my bedroom door open, I could only see a tall figure walking in, I was like half asleep and I thought to my self, Mianna sure looks tall. It was Richard, He surprised us and drove down from Norfolk yesterday. We just finished having breakfast about an hour ago. It so nice to have him home even if its only for a day or 2. The house feels so complete now that he is here. I really missed my baby. I'll have to break out the camer and take some pictures.

4th of July

This year we didn't drive out to down town to watch the fireworks, but instead we went to the pier in Green Cove and got to see over 20 different fireworks shows from a distance. There were a few that were close to us and also some houses in the area were letting off some big fireworks. We stocked up on fireworks the day before and also had some from last year, so we lit a bunch in the driveway and had so much fun. There was this one call M88 salute and when we lit it, there was a small sparkle and it seemed to do nothing, but as we turned our backs to walk back in the house it let off the loudest pop noise, that sounded like a gun shot, we screamed so loud and ran toward the house. We were busting up so hard and just could stop. We had about 5 of the m88's but didn't want to light anymore. We had a purple rain fountain and lots of alien looking firework, jitterbug or jumping bugs and all sorts of fireworks. It's pretty cool out here, because it's not against the law like in some parts of the world, so we had so much fun playing with fireworks.

Little Marcus

My sister-in-law gave birth to lil Marcus Jr. on fathers day. I love his light colored eyes and chubby cheeks.

Sunrise

My last morning in Pensacola was very nice and relaxing. I wanted to get up early to watch the sunrise and so we did just that. We took long walks on the beach and found some nice seashells and even saw stingrays in the water.

What I'm feeling right now

Pregnancy week nine. What's going on with your body? Those hormones are in full force, not to mention some dull cramping. Read on for more information about your ninth week of pregnancy.

Your Body

Pregnancy does odd things to your skin. It's all those hormones! Some women break out as though each little pore were Mount Vesuvius. "Kablooey! Thar she blows!" For other, more fortunate women, bumpy complexions smooth to the softness of a rose. (Don't gloat... pregnancy has its share of inconveniences for everyone.) As your pregnancy progresses, your complexion may even out, though some women need to wait until after the baby is born before having nice skin again.

Later in pregnancy, some women develop a "mask" of dark pigment around their eyes, on their noses, and cheeks. This is called the chloasma and will slowly fade once you are a mom. If you develop this "mask of pregnancy":

• Avoid the sun or use lots of sunscreen, as sun can intensify the discoloration.
• Avoid using skin bleach (it's unhealthy, and it probably won't work, anyway!)
• If it really bugs you, use a cover-up base.

  Help! What's that dull cramping? As the uterus begins to stretch, you may feel a dull aching and cramping. You may even find a slight brownish or reddish discharge. So long as the cramping is not severe, and the spotting is not bright red, you are probably just fine. Your uterus is beginning to grow, and the sensation you feel is the "round" ligaments beginning to stretch. This should lessen in the second and third trimester.

  
  

  Your Baby

  This week your baby is about the size of an olive. His face is rounding out and begining to look more and more human (and less like a tadpole, now that his "tail" is nearly gone). His heart is developing and now houses all four chambers. Although not yet distinguishable, his sex organs are starting to develop, too.

  
  

  For Dad

  Most women have conflicting feelings about pregnancy throughout this time. Even if the two of you had trouble conceiving, Mom will go through mood swings. Both of you will worry about the financial and psychological responsibility of parenthood. It is normal! Talk to each other about what you are thinking and what you are experiencing. Check out books on pregnancy and talk to friends who have children. Compare notes! You will probably find that others share the same concerns and perhaps have found solutions that will work for the two of you.

  "I have found the best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and then to advise them to do it." Harry S Truman

46 min and counting

Sine last wed I started a migraines and it has been 9 days of pain for me. Yesterday I finally broke down and went to the Dr to get some meds. They hooked me up to an I.V. and gave 3 different meds that made me so out of if that I kept dosing in and out of consciousness. I had some relief for about 1 1/2 hours and then BAM, like a ton of bricks working its way out of my head. I just got up from a nap on the couch and I felt so goooooooooood I was smiling and walking all normal and happy, I decided to take a shower and get fresh and so clean clean. It feels so good to feel good, but I'm doubtful it will last. It's been almost an hour, o man... I have some meds to take and if this is still going on by tomorrow, I'll be up at 6 to try and make another appointment.

Rich had the most awesome surprise at work today. He is getting ready to leave this command with his new orders to Norfolk, Va and he recently made board for Chief and is working on getting is package sent out. He was presented with the Navy Commendation award and is just so stoked. This is a really big award that is usually only awarded to Chiefs and up but he has worked so hard this past tour and he deserves this medal. I'm am always proud of what my Sailor does when it comes to his career he has really blossomed into one of the best. Way to go champ! We are so proud of you and Love you soooooo soooo very much.

Snake

Last night Mianna was on her way home from her friends house when she came running in the door to tell us she had to run around a snake. This thing was in our driveway. YUK, we do have lots of snakes here in FL.

headache

I started a bad headache yesterday around 2pm and got up this morning got ready for work , went to work only to turn around and come back home. I was up at 4 am and by 6am it hit me hard. I have been in pain for almost 24 hours now, but thank god I slept and didn't feel any pain as I slept, but this headache has not subsided one bit and the meds are not working at all. I'm just thankful I'm not sick to my stomach or anything yet, and I can still see, but my eyes are hanging low like hardly open fat eyes. This is no fun at all.

Leaving Chicago

I'm at the airport now,working on uploading my pictures on flickr. I had such a fun trip. the first day I was able to pick up my rental and make it to the hotel safe and without getting lost. This is a pretty big city and the traffic was as I suspected it to be. I rented a full size Dodge Charger and it was a little bit challenging for me to drive such a big car, but I managed to turn it in without a scratch. The graduation went well and it was real emotional feeling, but I actually heald strong and didn't cry one bit. It's so hard to believe that my cousin is now a sailor. She will be leaving to Iraq this year and will be there for 1 1/2 years.
I have to board my plane in about 22 minutes, so not much more time is left to blogg. I will finish my stories tonight. I have to finish uploading my pictues to flickr.

On my way to Chicago

I'm at the airport in jacks and still here after 4 hours because I was a goof and missed my flight this morning. The flight I was suppose to be on left at 7:05 and I got to the airport and checked my baggs in at 6:40, because I looked at the wrong time and thought my flight was leaving at 8:40. I'm such a goof. Rich to me to Denny's to kill about an hour, but then he had to get back to base, so I had to sit here and let time pass by reading a book and not i'm online with the fee wireless internet sevice here at the airport. I will probably arrive into O'Hare about 1:40 or so. I suspect that they called my name over the louse speaker when I was late for my flight, just like they are annoucing the guest that are missing there flight for ft. lauderdale. ehehhe. I'm usually always on time for flight and this was just plane funny. I'm on my my to Great Lakes, IL to see my cousin graduate from bootcamp. I know its going to be a emotional time for me, I havn't seen Bean in over 8 months and our last meeting was a short time at the airport in Phonix when I was on my way back to Jacks from a short trip to LA to celebrate a Bday with my buddy in Hollywood. I think the timing will work out find ,since I can't check into my hotel till after 3 and I will have time to get my rental and maybe just tour some of chicago for bit before I head north to Great Lakes. Security here at jacks is pretty tight like I'm sure it is all over the country. I had to get my makup out and remove all the liquids to a plastic bag for reasy display for the security and I had to give over one item that was too big, more that 4fl oz and it was my hair shine I was not too attached to it, but now I have no hair products at all. I'll have to get to the NEX and buy some thing to keep my curls under some type of controle. I'm not real good at plane rides, since it makes me a little nervouse and I might just have a glass of wine to chill me out. I wish we could blogg on the plane or surf the web, but that will not be possible. :0( I get seriouse withdrawals. O no, my flight is boarding now. have to go. O my god the lady is screaming on the intercome, ouch that hurt my ears.
