I'm still struggling with the
I'm still struggling with the archives a bit. Hey, what can I say, I'm a slow learner. All my "net" friends know that. How long did it take me to make a sig? Ha Ha! I'm having a horrid day at work. There are about 6 functions today and my boss called in sick, so I'm putting out fires all over the place. It's terrible. My head is hurting and my face is flushed which translates to my blood pressure being high. I really can't control this and I'm starting to get worried about it. I do not want to be put on medication, but I can't seem to calm down on my own. I'm just an uptight, stressful person. My Mom says I come by it honestly as her and my father are the same way. Things have calmed down a bit this afternoon and I can tell my body is chilling some. I *CAN'T WAIT* to get my ultrasound, have I mentioned that? I'll finally be able to buy stuff and call him or (hopefully) her by their name. And seeing the actual picture will make it so real to me. We're going to Nags Head this weekend with Tommy's sister and her husband and their 3 kids (all under the age of 4!) We were planning to leave tonight after I got off work, but that has fallen through. So we leave tomorrow morning. I'm actually glad we can't leave tonight so I can watch the 2 hour "star studded" marathon on TV tonight. Oh, and speaking of TV..I'm not a big reality TV fan, but was sucked into Big Brother 2 by my friends Debbie and Yvette. MAN WAS IT FABULOUS LAST NIGHT! First of all, Will, my favorite one emerged victorious! I was so glad. Even after some of the arrogant and ignorant stuff he's said, I still wanted him to win. It was great. *AND* Mike Boogey proposed to Krista (whom he met in the house) and she said YES! It was so sweet, I cried (there's those pregnancy hormones again). I loved it!

Well, one of my fantastically
Well, one of my fantastically talented blogging friends *DID* help me with my archives. Thanks Robyn! It's so great to have smart friends. :-) Well, as Robyn has linked in her blog, they are suspecting another attack on Saturday, the 22nd. Apparently the 11th and 22nd are special dates on the Arab calendar. My "doubting Thomas" of a best friend just called because she thinks this "attack on the 22nd" is crap. I hope it is. We'll see. I guess I'm having a good pregnant day. Last night was kinda rough. I was washing a plate that Tommy had used the night before for dinner and it made me throw up. So, then I was kinda "sick feeling" for the rest of the night. So far so good for today. I didn't feel sick around lunch time, had a nice big plate of pasta, yummy!

OK, well, I'm very new
OK, well, I'm very new to the world of "blogging" and even newer to the world of coding. I don't know the first thing about it. And, it looks as if that's the way these blogs are done. So, I've heeded advice I've received in the past and have been sneeking peeks at other people's blogs to see how they are coded. So, you will notice that I have sucessfully added LINKS to the right of the blog. And I've begun the archive process.....still hitting a brick wall on that one though. Maybe one of my fantastically talented blogging friends can tell me what I've done wrong?

I felt a little sick
I felt a little sick this afternoon before lunch time. But, I'm feeling better now. My job is getting worse by the day. It's not exactly that it's a stressful job, but some of the people I work with are such miserable, hateful, and awful people that it makes me mad and stressed. So, who knows, I may be searching for greener pastures once the baby is born. I don't know how much more I can take here. Before I got pregnant, the plan was for me to go back to school next Fall (when the "forgiveness policy" kicks in) and quitting here to get a part time job somewhere. I'm hoping that might still be the case. We have so much to think about. Countdown to the ultrasound and WE CAN'T WAIT! It's two weeks from today. Oh, and I am officially 16 weeks (4 months) pregnant today.

I had a terrible headache
I had a terrible headache on Saturday night, took some Tylenol and it went away for a few hours, then came back. That same thing happened on Sunday AND Monday. My doctor's office told me to call if I ever had a headache that rest & Tylenol couldn't fix. So, I called them on Monday and they called me in a prescription of Darvocet! GOOD STUFF! I took 2 last night and have never slept better! I woke up this morning and my headache was gone. It was great! And now, the hunger has started. You always hear how hungry pregnant women always are and how they eat all the time. Well, the first trimester, I was so sick that I didn't want to look at food. And even now, the past few weeks, I've been been eating, but not "starving". Well, today it started. Every 2 hours I feel like I haven't eaten in days! It's a fierce, deep down hunger. I was so hungry that I ate Yvette's Chex Mix today and I don't even like chex mix! I guess I have 6 more months of this! :-)
