My dog has decided that not only am I the same ol' mommy he's always thought was awesome I'm also the coolest damn things that's ever lived.

He's at my side constantly - more than usual. At night he's not just content to sleep next to me; he's got to be literally leaning on me and if I move even half a hair away from him he's scooting up closer. It's odd, to say the least.

I think he's going to love this baby... either that or be insanely jealous of it.

I hope it's the former.

That being said, I'm starting to feel better, at least. The ENT found out what's wrong with my ear - finally - and is getting it taken care of. I have to drive into his office literally every day until it's cleared up, but it's nothing that will hurt the baby. Thank god.

Our bills are really bad this month. Our internet/TV/phone is going to get turned off without a doubt, but when J get his paychecks coming in regularly we'll be able to catch up. My biggest concern is our city bill. I have to have enough gas to get me back and forth to the dr this week, and that's not going to give me enough money to pay the city bill... which means we might get our stuff turned off. That would be bad.

On the plus side.... J has a fantastic job that he loves more than anything... 'cept me an the kids. It's so wonderful to see him happy to go to work, happy when he comes home, and happy in general. It's amazing what loving your job will do for you, and it's certainly doing it for him. I'm really happy for him, and hope that this job continues to be what he wants it to be.

I think it will.

As for me..well, I'm doing ok. The morning sickness is kinda easing up a bit, which is nice. I'm not throwing up constantly anymore, but I'm no longer using that as a reason to worry. I mean, really, if I wasn't still pregnant would my boobs be getting huge(er)??

Oh yeah, my HTN? It includes my annoyed 'tag along' ... he's upset that he's not on my lap. Go figure.
