Okay so now kitty is feeling fine. Just being a pain in the ass but what else is new. The vet we saw on the military base for his shots (which was not a lot of fun by the way) thinks he had the mother of all hairballs and that was what cause him to be sick. But no more sneezing or anything like that from him and on the plus side he is all up to date on his shots so we don't have to worry about that after baby is here. Just his flight physical to take him back to normal land when we leave.

But I now have the cold from hell. All nasal related and let me tell you it sucks!!!!! Isn't much I can take for it and well I am just miserable. I am blaming it on the sick people at the hospital. Those are the only sick people I have been around. I swear this thing had better go away soon or I might be crying. Isn't it enough that I am stressing over what I don't have and need for the baby as well as going to the hospital 3 times a week for 3 appointments? Why me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!

All righty now that is out of my system. Yeah right. Hope everyone is having a great week. At least I haven't run into to many stupid people. Well there is the one from last night who said to me at a meeting "wow surprised to see you here with your hubby coming home tomorrow" and then the other sentence "your pregnant? I didn't know that when did I see you last?" For that one I just looked at my neighbor who was there with me and we both did the eye rolling on both sentences. Even if my hubby was coming home today with the ship what would last night have mattered? The ship comes and goes and it doesn't mean that I would not attend something cause it was the night before. Oh my god I am surround by stupid people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh yeah this same woman thought that I had children at home and was shocked that this was my first. She is confused in the head.

Labor and Delivery tour today. Can't wait to see what this will bring us. Hopefully hubby doesn't ask to many stupid questions. He is all ready thinking of asking about scrubs and being able to take them home with him. Oh joy. This should be interesting.

Kitty is back to his normal freakish self!!! Yeah!! All up to date on his shots and hiding in my sewing room on top of my sewing basket. Silly cat. It is always an adventure with him. Not sure why his new hiding spot is in my sewing room on top of my sewing basket but whatever.

So the fun of this past weekend for us was dresser shopping for the new baby. Yup that is right shopping for a dresser is going to be one of the next olympic sports from the island chain of Hawaii I think. The day started out nicely. Ate breakfast planned day. Went to the quilt shop to pick up baby's quilt from the quilter and then drove to the other end of the center (large center) to the naked furniture store with the intend of buying a dresser there that we would then pick up a little later in the week and DH would stain to match the crib. So we go in. Yup same model still on the floor. Okay cool. Find sales person. None in stock and none on order. So okay if we order one how long will it take to get here? 8 weeks. Nope not that much time left. All righty so she shows us another dresser that is taller, has deeper drawers and costs more. It is a floor model but you can purchase this one today and pick it up later. Now there are black marks and such on the top. Oh those can be sanded right out. That is cause we had stools sitting on top of it. No discount off the price either. Uh yeah we will think about it. So we leave and go to a music store in same center cause DH is looking for some cd. Think about dresser from this place more. Why would they offer to sell us the floor model of one and not the one we really want when they have nothing in stock and have none on order. Plus no discount off the one that has scuff marks on it. Whatever not going back there. Okay strike one. So we go to the Navy Exchange Furniture store. Find a cute little dresser in the kiddy corner of the store. All righty go to the front for a customer service person. I sit in a chair and DH deals with the dresser. They go to the back and see the dressers. 3 of the same one on the floor. Great do you have any new ones untouched in stock. Nope 8 weeks if you order one of those. No discount on the floor models and out of the 3, 2 had something wrong with them that I saw. Dents or dings in them on the tops and sides. Okay thank you never mind. Stirke two. All righty so off we go to the Navy Exchange. Mind you it is a payday weekend on the first of the month. This means masses of stupid people wandering around thinking that they own the place. DH has to pee when we get there so he heads to the bathroom on the ground floor. I head up the escalator. When we reach the top there is a line. Yes this line starts right at the end of the silver landing pad for the escalator. What is the line for you ask? Well that would be the attack of the stupid people who can't pull their id cards out of their wallet/purse/pocket or whatever as they are coming up the excalator. Now to go to any exchange or commissary anywhere in the military you need your id card at some point in the whole business. Some places it is as you walk in the door, other places it is as you pay. Well here at this particular one since they stupidly let normal people use the food court you must show it to enter the store. So I have mine in my hand and bypass the line. Show it to id man at door and I am in. This earns me a dirty look from an old lady. Whatever!!!! There is no rule that you have to form a line to go in the door and it is not my fault that you stood in it to show him your id card. After that I head to the baby department. Have to squeeze past more stupid people who are just standing in the middle of the isle chatting it up with their shopping companion. Get back there and you have 2 choices look in catalog and special order something or take the model that is on the floor. Okay well hubby hasn't made it to me yet so I will look thru the book. I look thru the book and see no dressers. Just the stupid changing tables with the shelves. Don't like those at all. Okay fine. DH joins me and opens same book. But he finds the page that has actual dressers on it. The one that they have in the book is okay but not really a big oh my want that one. But the book is on top of a dresser that is nice looking and the same color. So off he goes to find a sales person and I wait at the dresser. Cause you know I am not walking to oen spot to turn around and walk right back to it. He doesn't come back for about 15 minutes. I am wondering if knowone was at that counter and he had to go track someone down or something. Finally he comes back and has a receipt in his hand. We have success. Baby has a dresser. We can go home!!! Not picking it up Saturday because I am tired and waiting at furniture pickup would have made me very cranky. So home it is where we fold our laundry and then I promptly fall asleep on the couch for 2 and half hours.

Then onto the next part of our exciting Saturday. DH plays poker with a group of friends most Saturday nights. Well he was playing that night. Time got away from us at home what with playing legos star wars and miscalculating the time it would take the pizza to cook in the oven. So we left the house at 10 till 6pm instead of the normal 20 till 6pm. Now remember it is attack of the stupid weekend. So we stop at the shoppette at the bottom of the hill before driving to the other side of the crater to where our friends live for poker. Oh man sometimes doing this is easy other times it is so painful you never want to do it again but you do. So we get there park the car and start walking towards the door. As we are walking up to the door a woman opens the door and then shuts it without entering. Huh? Well they are doing construction on the inside of the shoppette. Not sure what the heck they are doing or when it will end but whatever. So we get to the door just as it is closing with her still standing on the outside. On the door is an 8 and half by 11 piece of paper that says "Please use other door". Inside of this door you can see an empty soda machine blocking it. So woman starts to walk to the side of the building for some reason and then turns and says where is the other door. Okay it is a double door to enter the shoppette. You know the kind where non-stupid people can see two handles touching each other in the center of the big doors. Yup so I grab the handle on the left door and open it and walk in. DH follows right behind me with stupid woman and child behind him. Dirty look number 2 for me of the day. Whatever if you are stupid and can't see the other handle right there in front of your face you deserve to stand on the outside looking in. So we were late for poker. I mean everyone else for the game was all ready there and sitting in their seats. We are never last to arrive. We are usually first to get there. So we of course blamed it on stupid and tell the above story. Everyone laughs and they get down to playing. We were home and in bed by 10pm that night. It was not DH night at all.

So since attack of the stupid our week has gotten better. Hopefully this weekend won't be as bad with attack of the stupid. But you never know.

Have a great weekend!!

So all is going well. Baby looked good to us on Monday when we saw him. Fluid was good. Yup that is right every Monday we get a fluid check ultrasound as well as me giving blood and urine and monitoring babies heartbeat. Doesn't that sound like lots of fun? Yeah no its not really. Doctor appointment for me tomorrow. Oh joy wonder what that will bring.

So kitty decided yesterday that I was getting to much attention and he needed some of it. About 1pm or so he wanted to go out in the backyard. Okay well he does want this on occasion. Saw him walking in the grass thought nothing of it. He came inside and went on the piece of carpet that we have in the living room and sat down and scooted on his butt across it. Like pulling himself with the front legs. Very strange and he has never ever done this before. Then after his little scooting he licked himself then got up and went right to the litter box to do his business. We were weirded out by this. So then after the litter box he went back outside. Well hubby kept an eye on him this time and sure enough he did the scoot and lick a couple more times out there before coming in and using the potty. So DH went up and took a shower. By the time DH did that and came back down kitty threw up twice. (I had to clean that up) Okay but he wasn't doing the scoot and lick thing anymore. He drank some water and then went and laid down. All righty we made him an appointment for next Tuesday they said if he gets worse take him to an outside vet (not military). So we went off to look at strollers and bassinets. Came back from our shopping trip with both the stroller and the bassinet for baby and kitty was all kinds of freaked out and ran upstairs. He didn't come downstairs again till I coaxed him down about 9pm. He ate 2 squishy treats and then went back upstairs after about 15 minutes. Then when we went upstairs he came downstairs for the night. So I got up to check on him when I woke up, just had a feeling. He was sitting in one of the recliners, didn't meow or anything when I came down. Just looked at me with sad kitty face. Okay well I don't see any vomit or anything so I went back to bed. At 5am I gave up trying to sleep. Just couldn't get back to sleep so I came downstairs. Couldn't tell if he had eaten anything at all and he was still in the chair. Went online and did my thing then about 530am he threw up. Hubby was up at this point so he called the outside vet and we could get kitty in at 7am. So we play online then get dressed and take kitty to vet. Have no idea what caused all this but they took an expensive xray and found gas in his intestines and no food or anything anywhere and oh yeah his heart murmur is back and this vet rates it at a 4-5 on a scale of 6. They express his anal glands and give him a shot of anti-nausea medicine and send us home with bland food to feed him as well as what looks like peptobismal for cats to squirt down his throat twice a day. But he is back to being a brat so maybe all that was bothering him was the anal glands. he has another appointment next week to get his shots and we will have that vet check him as well. I am happy to say it took him all of 5 minutes to eat his bland tablespoon of food. So he was really hungry. He is currently hanging out on his blanket next to me.

If it isn't one thing for us it is another. Let's hope that was all that was bothering my kitty. Cause if not I might scream and well the bp will go high and well I will be locked in the big pink building again. I don't want to do that!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a great week!!

Hi all!!! Bet you had wondered about me. Just fell off the face of the earth there for a bit. Went to the big pink building on the hill (yes my hospital is big and pink and on a hill) for some routine blood tests and oh the infamous 24 hour pee test turn in and that afternoon was called to go to Labor and Delivery for some monitoring. Well they did the monitoring and then sent me home cause all was "okay". Called me back about an hour and a half after leaving and asked me to come back for more testing the next day. They didn't like what they were seeing so I got to be admitted to the hospital for over a week. Of course this beening a military hospital they have no internet in the patient rooms (Not that I had a laptop or anything) and I got lucky enough to borrow a staff only computer to email my DH that night, and of course the know nothing email to panic a friend.

Baby and I are both fine now. Well as fine as one can be at this point. I have preeclampsia and get to go to 3 doctor appointments a week. 2 to monitor baby and 1 for me. This will be from now till the time baby comes. But at least I am home for the time being, but I get to sit around and do really nothing at all. But hey it is the comfort of my own home. If I have any other syptoms beside high blood pressure and the protein in my urine I have to go back immediately. Plus if my blood pressure gets to high they will keep me there. Arrgggghhh.

On the plus side DH was sent home early from the patrol to take care of me. Which is good since I can't lift anything heavy and sometimes barely have the energy to make it thru the grocery store. But that could have been because I had just gotten out of the hospital. So he is home and gets to cook and clean and unload the car and push the shopping cart once it has to much stuff in it for me to push. Plus he picks up the heavy kitty for me to clip his nails. Cause that is just so much fun for the cat and I. Had to do it last night. So the goal is to make it another 7 and a half weeks and anything after that will be gravy. So little mister might be here earlier than originally thought.

Have a great week!!!!

Oh my. Does that ticker say less than 100 days till the baby is supposed to be here? That is kind of scary but not so much yet. Ah time flies. So much to do and so little time to do it in.

So I have a "stalker" of sorts now. Yeah you all remember the neighbor I had that was a freaking nut job. Yes the one that out of the blue called my house and bit@hed me out, then said she never wanted to speak to me again. To which my answer was fine and hanging up on her? Yeah well ever since my DH told her DH that I was pregnant (mind you the only reason he was told is cause he works for my DH) she has decided that she wants to be friends with me again. I think I told you of the phone call when she first found. How she was happy for us blah blah blah and how she hoped that I had the worst morning sickness in the world cause I deserved that. My end of the conversation on that day was like this uh huh, thank you, okay bye. DH was pissed that she called. So since then it has been emails at the weirdest times and about the stupidest things. First one was cause she wanted someone else to make me a sling to carry the baby around in. Okay fine whatever. Then since that was my response she wanted to meet me at Walmart so I could pick the fabric and she could buy it. Uh no. So I was at Walmart one day found some I liked went home and emailed and told her what it was and what it looked like. Well then she emailed that she bought that fabric but couldn't find anything for the inside so she just bought double of the print that I picked. Okay whatever. Then nothing for a while. Then it was oh remember those cookies you made with my kids last year at Christmas time. Well she tried to make them and they didn't turn out right. Well duh when you don't ask for a recipe and don't write things down of course they won't turn out. So I sent her that. Then it was a message says the sling was done and she would be dropping it off that week. Oh great now she is coming to my house. Well that week goes by and nothing. Whatever!! Don't really care. Then it is preparing for Christmas and New year's and all that so I hear nothing from her in the month of October, November, December and now in the past 2 days I have gotten 3 different emails from her. Well the first one was saying that the sling isn't done yet and well the girl who is making it has been really sick with m/s and she is going out of town from the 9th till the 28th. Okay whatever but you had said a couple months ago that it was done. So whatever. Then it goes on to say she has this really neat jacket that is 18 month size that her son wore a couple of times that she wants to give us cause it is so cool and won't go to waste cause she is sure that we will love it. YEAH NOT!!!! Don't care what kind of jacket it is if it touched your freaking kid I don't want anything to do with it. Then she congratulates me on where we are going next and how she has a friend there who is about to have a new baby and is all ready planning a road trip to that area. Well don't freaking add my house (where ever it might be) to your trip. So bells start going off in my head. Cause I haven't said boo about where we are moving to anyone because I didn't want this freak to find out. So of course I email DH and ask him. Yup you guessed it he told her DH who of course told her. Oh my god!!!!!!!! Okay so that was the first email that about made me freak out and cry. Oh so fun. So then yesterday I get an email about some house she found in the area we are going to that will be available to rent. She just figured that I would want to know about it. If it wasn't enough not only did she send me that info once but then she had to send it again because "my year old daughter turned off the computer and it didn't show that it sent". What ever. LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!

I swear if I could send her an email that would make her fingers exploded off of her body with one touch of the keyboard that would be awesome. She wouldn't be able to call me or email me or even drive her car anywhere near me. I don't need this. Is it Feburary yet? Cause she leaves this rock on Feb 15th and I hope that is the end of hearing from her.

To answer the question I know is coming, I swear that I had her email addy blocked but it came back. Now I have tried blocking it again so we shall see if it is going to work. There are spouse websites that she and I both belong to but I know I have her blocked from contacting me on those. If I get one more email from her, I am telling my DH to tell her DH to tell her to back the f*(& off!!!! She is the one of said leave me alone. Not me. It is like high school I swear. But I am not in high school. If you say to me leave me alone, never speak to me again. Well okay then I am done. No more contact for anything. If you were burning on the side of the road I would keep on going. That is how much I don't ever want to speak with this idiot again. You would think that she would get that hint when I don't say anything when on the phone with you and answer your emails with one word answers or just plain out don't answer them at all.

Other than that all is well in my little icebox on the top of the crater on the rock in the middle of the ocean. Hope everyone else is having a great weekend as well.

WAHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! I have my ac back!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yup just as I have been thinking all week with no ac. Something got disconnected. But all is well again. I love the feel of cold air hitting me. Off to take a nap now. Hope that goes as well as I am thinking it will. So freaking tired today. But after a week of so so sleep this is going to be so awesome!!!!

Today is the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let's all cross our fingers that they can fix my ac today and I will be nice and cold tonight. I have an am appointment with them so here's to cool ac by the afternoon. Oh of course if they do fix it I will be closing up the house and going away from it for a bit to let the ac do its job.

Hope everyone had a safe and happy new years. I personally was in bed asleep by 11:30pm. Did not make it to midnight but since people here are allowed to spend as much money as they could never have on fireworks I sure as heck knew when it was midnight.  But I was so tired that I didn't get up and go look out the window or anything. My poor cat was freaked out all night long. I kept telling him it was only going to be a few more hours of the noise. He would run and hide upstairs and then come back downstairs and try and hide. Then start all over again. He wouldn't even be comforted by me. Baby didn't care much for all the noise either. I smelt some of the sulfur after  I went out to eat and got a headache that had me changing my plans from going to the neighbors across the street to staying home and sitting in my chair. So much better I think.

Then yesterday I had lunch/dinner with them. We had ham, mashed potatoes, rolls, black eyed peas and yams. I tried the black eyed peas. First time ever. Not that bad but not the thing for me either. But hey I tried them and that is all that matters. Didn't eat any of the yams either. But I am not a yam fan. Then after dinner they all went to watch Hawaii lose the Sugar bowl and I came home for a nap. They couldn't believe that I wasn't going to watch the game. I don't really like sports and really don't care about Hawaii's football team so why should I waste 3 hours of my life watching it. If hubby was home that would be a different story. But he is not so I watched what I wanted to watch and knew that Hawaii would not win. I told them I would know how the game was going by how loud or quiet the neighborhood was. Well let me tell you yesterday it was so quiet I probably could have heard people whispering to each other 3 blocks away. Hehehehe Oh well the team made it to a BSC game so that is something to be proud of. But come on did they really stand a chance? No not really. Yes they had an undefeated season but they really didn't play anyone that was "hard" for them to beat. Yes a couple of games they had to play hard but for the most part no they didn't. Just my opinion.

All righty off to finish surfing the net for now. Then it shower and hurry up and wait for mainteance to come and fix my ac unit. Don't worry you will know how it goes. I will either be really happy or really pissed off later.

Happy New Year!!

So hubby got underway again. After sitting in the armpit of Alaska for an extra 2 days. I say armpit cause there is nothing there to do or anything. The place they sat at was where the fishing boats off load their catch at times. So processing plant and not much else. Oh well. They have phones so that means getting to talk.

I hope everyone else's week is going well. Christmas night my ac unit decided to stop working. I think that the mainteance guy that I had come out to fix a leak had something to do with it but I won't know till at least January 2nd. Yup that is right call them first thing on the 26th and the first appointment they have wasn't till a week later. I even tried the 6 months pregnant card. Didn't do a thing. Gosh I hate it here. So far the weather has been cooperating with my no ac. Overcast and cool with rain showers off and on. I have 4 fans going nonstop in my house. So that is helping as well. Last night I got darn cold in bed with 2 fans and the open window. Woke up this morning after 8 full hours of sleep to see that it had pretty much rained all night!!! No wonder I got cold and slept so well. Kitty is doing well considering. He is staying on the bed alot during the day and coming down and eating and drinking during the night and first thing in the morning. I was kinda worried about him but he empties his food dish each day so no biggy there. I know he is as miserable as I am but we are both hanging in there.

I think I am being punished by the mainteance gods cause I call when things start to go bad. Like with water leaks, as soon as I hear/find it I am on the phone. I don't want freaking mold to start growing in my house. Of course with no ac going I am sure the mold is like going to take over any day now. Oh well life goes on. Here is to surviving the weekend with no ac. Can we say no laundry will be done if it has to go in the dryer? Here is also hoping to cloudy days with rain and cloudy nights with rain.

Have a great weekend.

Merry Christmas everyone. Hope Santa was good to everyone.

We have told all the family the news of what baby is so here it is for my little world.

Its a boy.

We are happy that he is healthy and would have been happy either way. Now I must learn all things boy cause I really have no clue. Yes I am really good at buying matchbox cars or even hot wheels but beyond that I am so clueless. So I guess I need to get to know the action figures of the world out there. Maybe try and figure out a transformer. I have never been able to make those things go from a car to a robot ever. Oh well that is what the hubby is for right? Well at least I can play with legos and zoom cars around. But on the plus side if it was a girl DH would probably be just as clueless as I am right now. The other plus is when we go out in public as a family. DH gets bathroom duty!!!!! Yup that is right they both have the same parts so they can use the potty together!!! Hehehehe

Have a great Christmas

Yeah!!!!

Yesterday not only was I able to go back to sleep at 5:30am but I slept till 9:45am. Oh man it was awesome. Then I got up and went to Costco. Which was really stupid but I need something and knew that I could find it there and not really any place else. But I did come to the realization that if I go to Costco alone anymore I must get a cart no matter how many items I am just going in for. The only reason I say that is cause I always pick the problem line and it never fails to make me have to stand there for like 10-15 minutes holding stuff before moving. Oh yeah have I mentioned that people here instead of standing on the people side of the conveyor belt like to stand directly in front of the end of the conveyor so that the person behind them cannot use it to prop their items on at all. I am one of those people that slap the items down and then get me and my cart to the proper sides just so others can prop or start loading as soon as space is available. Oh wait that is common courtesy rearing its ugly head again.

So needless to say I spent lots of time yesterday sitting with my feet up. No biggy cause I played Lego Star Wars on the XBOX and cross stitched and it was all good. I even talked to my brother's wife for a while yesterday. Like over an hour. I had gotten a second box from Crate and Barrel yesterday after receiving one earlier in the week. Well as I got it I was going out with the neighbor for lunch cause she wanted to. I had all ready eaten but went along for company. Had a baked potato instead of dessert. Good me. So came home with the full intention of calling my sister in law tomorrow since it was all ready 4ish at there house when I got home. Figured she was starting dinner. So I look at the phone like I always do when I come home to see if I missed any calls that might be important even thought the answering machine says nobody called. Well I saw their number and figured she was calling cause of the crate and barrel boxes. Yup. It seems she ordered all of us gifts thru there but since I have to live on this island in the middle of big water they won't do ups they do fedex here. Makes no sense but whatever. So she had checked it on the website and it was showing as doing nothing so she called crate and barrel and they reshipped it for nothing cause they "always" have this problem with fedex. Well after shipping she checked the site again and found that I had gotten a delivery earlier in the week and would probably get another one either yesterday or today. Yup it got here yesterday. Well the first one I got was actually the reorder and the one yesterday was the original order. So now I have 2 of the same things and can do what I want with one of them. Oh joy.

That was all the excitement in my Wednesday. What will Thursday bring I wonder?
