I had a great surprise lunch with my Aunt Angel today, she and her cuties were in the area so they got me for lunch! It was my first time meeting little Jason, now 8 months old, he is such a sweetie! And Jessica is so big now! Starting 7th grade soon, time is flying! We had a great time, talked about everything and I finally got a chance to thank her for everything she did for me a few years ago. I just hope she knew I meant it!

I stayed with her and my uncle david a while back while I was going through a tough time, I needed a change of scenery and the family support was so helpful. They got me into a much better place, into therapy, and well, all growed up! LOL As much as I know they haven’t agreed with all of my decisions, I feel that the decisions I have made, right or wrong, were made with more thought and consideration than ever before, I am not the same impulsive bratty girl any more.

I really could not have done it without their help, I don’t know where I would be today without the intervention of my family. I needed it even if I didn’t think so at the time.

My camera battery was dead, so no pictures, but here is a picture of them from my cousins wedding a few weeks ago.

I am still having fun preparing for the baby, looking into nursery ideas and play time activities, I am loving that we have a big yard so we can look into swing sets and play yards. I should be getting the crib by this weekend, as well as the comforter set, then next weekend is the baby shower, by then the nursery will be mostly complete. I am going to get those wooden letters from wal-mart and spell out her name over the crib, and also paint some oil paintings to match the bedding for the walls. I cant wait!!

This will be the last birthday for him before the baby comes, This Sunday the 29th. So I wanted to do something special, while I would love to look into some sort of New York City travel package for him, (he has never been) I know that is not reasonable. The most I will be able to do is take him to dinner on his birthday. I fel pretty bad that I cant do more, he has been so great through everything and deserves so much more. But what little money we have right now is reserved for saving for a car before the baby comes. I am hoping his mom and dad remember and do a little something, I know everyone is preoccupied with shopping for the baby, so I am worried they will forget- but I dont think so, they are pretty good about that stuff.

I hit the 26 week mark today! Woot, getting closer! We should have the crib and bedding set within a week and the baby shower is on the 6th, after that we will be almost ready! I am getting so nervous now though, I dont want to mess this up, I want a happy, smart, well mannered, book loving, respectful child…. with no tantrums, puberty, bad boyfriends, or life ruining mistakes! LOL Ok, I may be asking for too much on that one, but a mom can hope right?

Joseph and I are already discussing things like bedtime, time outs, homework rules, etc. All getting way ahead of ourselves but it is good to be on the same page. Any advice?
