fist i want to say "I LOVE BEING PREGNANT!! its the most wonderful thing ever!
so i havent been working for about 3 weeks. i certainly didnt enjoy getting up at 5:30 am, but sitting at home isnt much better. if i was working still it would seem impossible to get up that early since i barely sleep at night anymore.... i know i am just being prepared for what the baby will be like, but you arent going to believe me when i tell you how many times i get up at night! i get up almost every hour! at least 6 times a night! and i dont even drink anything an hour before bed..... i also toss and turn cuz i cant get cumfy with my big belly in the way(= i am really glad i am not working because i would be falling asleep at work!
but even if i have things to keep me busy at home i still need to get out of here! i like to be around people, ya know, feel like the world is still going round... its also hard to get motivated to do anything really around the house because i know i will be here for several more weeks... so what is the rush, ya  know... kinda like work, if you have to get a job done by a deadline you will, but if there is no deadline then you kinda dilly dally.... ok maybe thats just me but its no good!
oh did i mention we only have one car for now, so leaving the house isnt optional(=
i do get out of course sometimes, like doctors appointments and a couple of my friends dont work during the daytime, but still its hard... i dont know how i did this last summer!!!

this christmas we wont get to be with my family ... its sad. well we get to see a couple of them at a time, but not all of us together like in the past. since all of us kids are married now and have our inlaws to attend to(= , it makes it hard to arrange a time when we are all available. its not that i want lots of presents or anything, i just like hanging out and playing games! and seeing my niece lillian!!! i am a big gamer! i have to beg justin sometimes to play something with me! he likes to play too but not as much as i do(=
my sister could possibly have her baby this weekend.... well the doctor told her all the signs are there (without going into detail) that would make her think that. that would be nice if she had it before the end of the year, big tax write off!! and also it would be nice to space out the time till our baby comes. she is having a boy and we are having a girl, just perfect!
happy christmas!

jacquelyns best friend shekinah and her husband jeremy and their baby micaiah, came over for dinner today. shekinah is one of jacquelyns seven friends that are pregnant right now! craziness!! it was fun to see a little baby in our house... got us excited about seeing our little girl, man we have a lot of baby proofing to do!

justin and i have almost been married a year!! woohoo!! it feels like weve been married for a long time! which is funny since weve only been together for like a year and a half altogether. when we were getting to know each other in the beginning, we both knew that we werent going to be single again... so when we both decided in, i think august, that we wanted to marry each other, there was no time to wait!!! we had considered the fololowing May because he would be done with school and his parents could come, but we soon realized there was no way we could wait 9 more months! so he asked me in november and we got married less than 2 months later... a lot of people thought we couldnt throw together a wedding that fast... but we did and we loved it!
of course there was some adjusting when we first moved in together, but no craziness that i had heard so much about.... and now we are so stinkin happy i cant stand it!!!! we have no regrets about getting married so fast! ....except that many people couldnt come because of the time of year )=.....
married life is completely different than single life, but fabulous! and now we are making a baby, how wonderful is that!!!
