Opinionated, are we?

Hello everyone. This week has been such a great one, most of the time. We were able to go pick up Tucker on Sunday morning...we got up there at 7am (meaning we left home at 3:30am) and of course, ma had to have a fit and try to tell me that 7 was too early to pick up my son....I basically told her to get over it and then I think she realized what time we had to get up in order to be there at that time. But I mean, seriously....why would we want to wait till 11am to leave, get there around 2:30 in the afternoon, pick him up....grab a bite to eat for a late lunch, and get back home around 5pm(ish)....that's nearly a whole day in the car when we at least do it to where we have the afternoon to spend with him....ugh. She stresses me out. Anyway, we have Tuck until Friday...and have to have him back between 7pm and 9pm...Then his 'father' gets him from next Sunday -Friday...then us again :) I know it will turn into a great cycle.

I have been having a hard time in this 6th month of pregnancy. I am just plain exhuasted all the time...in the evenings (always when I am wanting to make us our diner for the night) I get really light headed, naucious, and weak....to the point I have to lay down. It sux. The other night I tried to make Nate's favorite diner....chicken, homeade mashed taters, cheesy green beans, biscits and gravy w/ stuffing....(i know, i know....that's a lot for only 3 people...but I like to cook) and I ended up having to lay down and nearly passed out while nathan had to finish....(he had no idea what he was doing, lol) But I have a dr. apt on Monday so I will talk to him about it...and also see if I can get a refill on my nausia perscription!!! lol. 10 pills lasted me 6 months...so I think 1 more perscription will do me just fine.

Speaking of perscriptions, I've been back on my anti-depressants :S....when I first became pregnant is when I had started going to therapy. Well my therapist recommended that I see the medications department and make an appointment with the nurse there. She perscribed me an anti-depressant (that later my dr. changed....said the one he was changing me too was better and less harmfull to the baby) and the I stopped taking it for a while...well I began to notice I was getting really depressed and I was cryin everyday for a week straight....so I decided to begin taking it again...I also have to ask for a refill on that Monday when I see my doc. I am afraid though cuz after I had Tuck, Nate was afraid that I was in the beginning stages of post partum depression (we had a friend who was a nurse at the local hosp.).....we finally just blamed it on the fact that the guy I was dating at the time was just a douch bag and he was the reason for my 'un-happyness'....ugh, idk...I just hope I don't fall into any kind of strange or bad cycle after I have the baby....

And speaking of the baby and pregnancy....
I am thinking about going ahead and gettin a sonogram done to find out the sex :D I know I wanted it to be a surprise and all, but I can't wait no longer lol. I need to know! I am beginning to hope that we are having a girl. Everyone says that we will. My ma made the comment that I am carrying the baby high and so I will have a girl. Nates Gpa John says that since they had all girls, and all the girls had all boys, then this generation will have all girls....lol. he's silly. But I kinda hope we do :)

Halloween is coming up fast....and I'm thinking of painting my belly like a pumkin and that will be my 'costume' lol. I thought it would be a cute idea...and I want to make blue and green popcorn balls with m&m's in them...but nate says that all the kids expect to get candy from this house (being that it used to be his parents home) and that 'he didn't wanna be those people on the block'...lol.

My Avon is doing pretty good. I am up to 11 customers now! Of course they don't all order off of every campaign...but its neat thinking I have 11 customers that I get to see occasionally. I'm really proud of myself. I also have 2 ladies that are interested in becomming an Avon Helper for me to basically get me a whole new client base.... so that is really fantastic! I was telling you all about how I wanted to achive the Presidents Recognition in my first year with Avon...well I have to achieve $10,100 to do that...I am up to $1,574 :) so I think I'm doing pretty good with that too.

So how is everyone? Things are looking up here.

Tonight I wasn't expecting anything to happen....ended up with 1 lady coming to my house to pay for her order and pick it up (her kid's daycare is across the street)....then had another lady from down the block come over and asked if she could get books to take to work, then had 2 orders come in :D...

I am trying to get more and more organized with everything Avon...I've got Newsletters and fancy invoices I make on my computer...not to mention coupons and whatnot...I'm even thinking of making gift certificates for christmas!

Tomorrow I plan to try and get out and knock on a few doors. I have only gotten 3 orders for this campaign and it goes in on Monday...It is mainly my own fault. I have been so exhausted with the pregnancy that I just havn't had any motivation...

Speaking of the pregnancy, I am officially 6 months preggerz. I weight about 145 which is 20 pounds I have gained...My average weight is 120-125....and for a lil 5'5 girl, I can deffinatly feel it! We have decided to let the sex be a surprise and so we are not going to get another sonogram (unless asked by the doctor of course)...Statistics say that the baby should be about 14 inches from head to heel....Crazy!!!! Nate made the comment today that "it's gunna be weird when you don't have a belly anymore"....That kinda made me giggle.

His bosses are also making comments to him & I. They have always seen this lil petite girl walk around up there at the plant, now my baby bump is really noticable and they are all shocked...but excited. Nate has been working there for nearly 5 years now and so they have known me since we pretty much started dating 2 years ago...So we are all kinda like family. Plus his big boss's younger son is going to have his baby in September I believe...So that's kinda neat.

Tucker is doing well. I havn't talked to my mother since we dropped him off last Tuesday, but that is no surprise. We go and pick him up Sunday morning. We will prolly leave real early again so we can get back by noon or so, but we will have him for a week!!!! Well Sunday to Friday night...but close enough :) I can't wait. I miss him! He helps me so well with my Avon haha.

Well that is all for now. As you can tell I am trying to keep you updated nearly every day again :D
