Here we come...

Tomorrow is the big day, we leave for Florida no later than 9 am. How will I be able to wake up that early when I've been sleeping until about 2 pm every day? NO CLUE!! I have almost all of my important things packed away, and barely enough space in the back for me to be able to see out of the window. I guess I didn't realize how many clothes and shoes I have! I've tried to make peace and leave on good terms with everyone, but I think there is only so much you can do. I have my faith, my husband, a select few family members, and a few true friends, and that's all I need. Besides, I'm too old and I'm going to be a mother, and I don't need to worry about stuff that will only get me stressed out. If only the drive could be as fun as the road trip from the picture, things will be prefect. That was on my honeymoon. After visiting all of the Hard Rock Cafe's along the cruise line route, I realized that we had missed Miami and it wasn't that far off from our final destination Ft. Lauderdale. So my husband was wonderful enough to rent the convertible and we drove there to the Hard Rock before we had to come back to Maryland. Needless to say, we had a blast. Wish me luck and please pray that both of us arrive in Florida without killing each other.

A Beautiful History, A Beautiful Baby

Once upon a time in Caguas, Puerto Rico; Julie met Alberto. It was love at first sight. She was with her best friend and when he was introduced as her best friends cousin, she couldn't take her eyes off of him. He couldn't stop looking either and the more time they spent together, the harder they fell. Over the years there was time, war, hardships, oceans and others separating them, but finally love won and they got married. It was a dream come true, a complete modern day fairy tale. After what seemed like an eternity and something that could never be, it was. After many struggles, heartaches and pain, they were still together and still kicking. And now, a baby is kicking. Many blessing are in store for the couple, they just have to hang in there and keep their eyes on God and believe that love will conquer all; and it will. A baby is a huge blessing and it will be gorgeous no matter who it looks like!

My Fat Baby

How will I be able to cope without Zipper? It has been a frequently asked question by everyone over the past few days. The truth is, since Mikey passed away 2 years ago; I promised I would never get close to another cat again, but Zipper and I have really bonded. She can't come to Florida right now because we are going to be living with other animals at first, and we all know, Zipper doesn't really get along with other animals. As much as I would love for her to come live with me and as much as I think she would love to chase little lizards all day, she is getting older and I don't want it to effect her mental status if she moves. You know, it actually is traumatic for animals to make major moves. So maybe I will be able to love another again... :( Besides, she might be jealous of the baby, you know how jealous she is, and we definitely don't want that.

Pamela

So I got to this picture of my niece Pamela. I think the baby will come out like her. What do you think? She looks the right mixture... And those gorgeous eyes...

It begins...

5 days until I drive to Orlando with my mom. If we don't kill each other on the way there, we'll be good to go. I just have to figure out what is going to fit into the back seat of my car. I'm 9 weeks pregnant and don't appear to be at all. I do throw up every now and then, but that's just because I'm really sensitive to smells and most of the smells are making me sick. Like Zipper's breath and the cat box. Or is it a trace of bulimia? Who knows? My emotions are out of control, but I would like to blame that on not being able to take any of my mood controlling meds anymore. Who will the baby look like? Any chance it will look like me when I was a baby? Yes that is actually me when I was a baby above. What happened, I do not know. I don't think that it's likely to turn out like me, since daddy is so dark. I am going to find out the sex of the baby though, as soon as they can tell. I can't stand people's excuse that they want to be surprised went the baby comes out. That's asinine! Aren't you surprised when the doctor rubs the jelly thing on your belly and says, "IT'S A BOY!!" ??? Stay tuned for more boring posts.
