What a crappy day. It started off great. I was on my way to get my hair colored so I was pretty excited. Well 2+ hours and $100 later I'm not too sure about the color. I wanted a warm blonde color (think Jennifer Aniston season 5 of Friends or LC from the hills) and I'm afraid it looks a bit brassy/orange. After that I needed an oil change (since I'm about 3,000 miles overdue and Jeff is pretty pissed that I let it get that bad) and I'm informed that my battery is bad and could pretty much die at anytime. My car is mostly getting it's power from the alternator, which cannot be good. Did you know that a battery is about $70?! I don't have money for that because I wasted it on the crappy dye job I got today!
While this is all going on I am waiting for a call from the clinic to find out if I need to come in or if they can just give me a prescription for a bladder infection. I called them at 9am this morning in hopes to resolve this quickly but instead I spent all day calling them back to find out what they wanted me to do. At one point the nurse asked me if I had felt the baby move at all today? After I was done talking to her I was very concerned. If they felt the need to ask me that does that mean that a bladder infection could be a serious harm to my baby?! If that is the case, don't you think they would want to resolve this issue quickly and get me on an antibiotic?! I never got a call back from the nurse so I had to call the same day clinic (because the clinic was already closed) to try to iron it all out. I finally found out that they did prescribed me something but didn't inform me or have it called into my pharmacy! I was so mad! I had been hanging around Cambridge all day waiting so that I would have to make a trip back up there if they called in a prescription for me.
Then I went to Target to wait for my prescription and to update my registry. I had some things to add and other things to delete. I print my registry and there are things missing on it and things that I didn't even register for! After I fixed all of it I headed home to relax. I checked my registry online and half the stuff I added is not on there. The things I deleted are still on there and Target.com doesn't recognize my e-mail and password so I can't make the appropriate changes! Now I'm gonna have to call Target and try to get it all figured out. Another pain in my ass. Seriously! This is my day off! You have to be kidding me. Can anything go right for me?
I had hoped to do some work on the babies room but now I'm so tired from running around I just want to relax. Tomorrow starts a 2 day inventory at the store and it's going to be quite tedious. We are overstocked on product and it's going to be a big job. I just wanted a day that went well.

Here it is!

Here is my first blog! It feels so monumental! So I don't know much about blogging. I'm not really sure there is much to know... it pretty much doesn't matter because I only know two other people who blog so I won't have a big "audience".
Today I realized that my belly is actually getting noticeably bigger. Along with that my ass has started to widen, my thighs may be growing and let's not forget about the hips. I suppose you could say I am gaining a "motherly figure" but I feel that just means I'm gonna look like one of those women wearing the 1980's "mom jeans". It's totally strange. As a woman (and maybe guys feel this way to some degree, but I obviously only have this one reference point), I have been taught that I should be thin and pretty. You worry all the time about how you look in your clothes then when you get pregnant you are somehow supposed to turn those feelings off and be comfortable with how you body is ever changing. If I'm the only one who feels this way that's ok... but I'm not excited about my ass getting bigger and my thighs looking fatter everyday. If I'm vain then fine. It's just how I feel. I am completely aware that I'm am getting something incredible at the end of this journey, and it's totally worth it. But that doesn't mean I can't dislike some things along the way.
