pregnancy post 42
just re read my last post. Made me throw up in my mouth a little bit. Lies lies lies. So many lies. My world is imploding. Marriage falling apart. And the self satisfaction I see from others thinking their relationships are ao perfect compared to mine doesn't help. Everyone has secrets. Trust in that. I know alot of them. Fuck.

I love my Rico. Last night I fell asleep mid post and ended up waking back up to watch Law Abiding Citizen. We went to sleep discussing if it's a good movie or not (not...it's terrible.) But I love how contrary he is. Then this morning he strolls in, grabs me, says 'Good Morning, Irish" and proceeded to smooch my cheek for about a minute. He told me he loves me, and more importantly, that he likes me. I said "Good, 'cause you're stuck with me."
It's a good way to start the weekend. I want to go to the gym, and bake something. Probably after Jamie bakes David's birthday cake. Whose party is today. I also need to go back to Babies R Us and get Whit something for her shower, which is tomorrow. I left work yesterday feeling as though I had no plans and an easy going weekend ahead of me, but that isn't entirely the case.
Bellamy is rifling through the babies r us gift bag we got for starting our registry last night, asking what it is. I told her we have to start getting baby gear again so we can take care of her brother when he gets here. She stood up, pointed dramatically at the sky, and yelled " I am going to get a pink and purple car! And put Baby Harrison Grey Fougner in it and drive him around everywhere! And you guys will be in there, too!!!" What a good big sister she already is. (Though I am wondering if she'll still want to chauffer him around when she's 16 and he's 13.....)

Another week has just flown by!
I missed work on Monday due to swelling/headache/nausea issues, but bounced back and am feeling ok. (It wasn't until Wednesday that my headache went away totally, and it's coming back already....but oh well.) Found out on Tuesday that my first exam was Thursday, so that had me extremely stretched out. He had originally guesstimated that our first test would be NEXT week, so i wasn't too concerned. Oops. Swiss Beats totally won that round.
Tuesday I did most of the homework that I hadn't completed yet, and Wednesday was up past midnight making the allowed cheat sheet, while working through the examples in the book he said the test questions would resemble. Turns out HE A LIAH, but I think I passed nonetheless. I studied the complicated problems, that required using all the formulas and theorems...and some of the questions were so basic and simple and didn't apply anything we've learned. I had no idea how to answer them, so I just made some shit up. I feel like I OVER studied. How is that possible? Me working harder on math than necessary? Might be the fist time it's ever happened, ever.
Last night I decided I didn't want to come home right away after work, so I picked up B, and we had a quick dinner out and then took her to buy some winter clothes. It was an impromptu little family date. On the way home she thought she had left her new princess bracelet and ring in the restaurant, so I called to look for it. When I hung up she asked if they had it, and I said no. She burst into the most hearbreaking wail I have ever heard escape from her. "Ohhhhhhhnoooo I lost the new jewelry my great grandma got me!!! What happened to it? What bad guy would take it" and she crumpled into tears. I was sort of impressed she was more sentimental about who the gift had come from than the loss of the actual jewelry. And, happily enough, it turns out she had tried on some of her new clothes and both the bracelet and the ring were wrapped up in one of the hoodies. Wheee!!
Today we had no daycare for B, because Dad and Marcie are headed to Cali to meet baby Emma...so Craig watched her for us! And they had a blast!! He came and picked her up at 7:30 this morning, and dropped her back off at 4:30, exhausted from all the Grandpa Craig excitement. I am so glad he is getting back to himself after 3-4 months of hiding out because he couldn't hear. Since B was spent, Rico and I headed out for a mini date. I wanted to take him to Slice of the Peak, but we decided to avoid the Street Vibrations nonsense. We went to Pinocchio's instead, which was delish as always. I love their chicken and spinach lasagna. Luuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrv it. Then we went to Babies R Us and did our registry! BABY STUFF. Exciting. I think the first time we did a resgistry it was a million pages long, and this time it was only a few. I know people are going to buy the Spud lots of clothes and stuff anyways, so we didn't put any of that on there. The crib and changing table we are going to buy ourselves, but we picked it out and scanned it so we won't forget which one we both like.
BABY STUFF. Giddiness. I can't wait to meet him. I am already so round that strangers are arguing with me and trying to convince me I MUST be due right away....like I'd really lie about him coming at the end of December.

Pregnancy Post 39
So baby boy has been to his first concert! lol. Maroon 5 last night was really fun. The kick ass part is that after Nicole told me she wanted to take me, I won two tickets and a meet and greet, so Rico and Jamie got to go see the show too!! I was SO excited when I got the call, because Richie loves Maroon 5 more than I do, and I wanted him to go soooooo badly. It was sort of magical that it all just came together.
Rico and I met the band, and Nicole got lucky and got an extra armband, so she did, too. Due to the evil record company chick who shall henceforth be referred to as Fatty Fatty Front Butt, Jamie was the only one who didn't get to meet them. FFFB was a bitch from the get go. While I tried to find the guy the station told me to meet, we got sent her way. When I was asking how many people got to go back, she interrupted me by saying "JUST STOP TALKING. JUST STOP." ( I was originally going to let Nicole and Rich meet them, since Nicole gave me her extra floor seat ticket...but FFFB said it had to be me and a guest, and there was no negotiating with her.)
Nicole was upset and I think maybe crying a little because she was running late and couldn't print her tix, and one of the other dudes told her he'd get her an extra armband. We were all ushered in and lined up to go, and we told her and Jamie good luck getting in. Apparently when dude told FFFB to give Nic a band, they asked for Jamie, too, and FFFB TOTALLY LIED and said she didn't have any extras even though she had two or three GD extras and just walked away. Then she made Nicole go to the back of the line since she wasn't with a radio station per se, and we ended up standing with a bunch of other DJs. I asked Connie from 96.5 if she happened to have a spare armband, and she said no. She was also not pleased with FFFB and her nazi ways....
Anyhow, Rico and I got to go in together, and basically we shook the bands hands one at at time, got to pose for a picture with them, and then as we were shown out we each got a signed picture. It all lasted about two minutes, but it was pretty sweet. I was honestly impressed by how cute Adam Levine is in real life. I thought he would be SUPER heroin looking skinny since he looks so slender in pictures and videos, but he wasn't. He was taller than I expected, and slender, but not crack skinny. I also looked him right in the eyes, and they are a very bright hazel-green. Nice. The other dudes were more smiley...the super cute drummer was the first in line and he looked at my belly and gave me a huge grin when we shook hands. The long haired guitarist was also super smiley.
I could feel all the vibrations in my belly, and between that and dancing, I think Harrison slept the whole time. At the very end he thumped a few times...it was a nice long nap for him. This morning he is moving and shaking all over the place.
Dad and Marcie kept the girls overnight last night so we could go...and they still aren't home yet!! It was so weird to wake up normally (slept in until 7:45...YEAH!) I miss my girl. Usually she pops up with her spectacular morning hair, and barges into our room with Lambie and Lambie's blanket, saying "Mommy! Daddy! It's wake up time. It's wake up time, Mommy" over and over. I just called to make sure Dad survived, and Marcia told me he has the girls at IHOP right now eating breakfast and then he'll bring them home. Where's my kid?? I want her back.

He is getting so strong. It's fantastic. Once I start kick counts in 4 weeks, I know if he doesn't meet quota something's up, because he is already kicking so hard my belly is moving.
I am so emotional, for no reason. I had a good day at work, and at school, but came home on the verge of tears. My Rico came and had lunch with me (wor wonton soup from golden flower....NOMNOMNOMS) and then class was much less painful than the past few weeks. Swiss Beats was feeling saucy, I think. He had on khakis and a nice button up, instead of jeans and a flannel. I answered several questions out loud, and even worked out an entire problem in my head before anyone else piped up with the first step. So even though I could give a crap about the periodicity of the unit circle and measuring degrees in radians, being able to figure out the 6 trigonomic functions, and all the crap we're covering, at least I can do it so far. I also made myself an appt with the tutor this Saturday, so I can ask questions freely there, too. I am owning this class. We have one more unit to cover, which we'll finish next week, and then test one the week after that.
Friday Nicole and I are going to see Maroon 5, which I am pretty excited about! At first (months ago) she offered to sell me her extra ticket because she bought two automatically when they went on sale, and I just can't justify spending that much moolah right now. This week she decided that since I always cook for her when she drops in to visit that we're square, because she always needs food. So, girl date!! Good times. I have one sassy non maternity dress that fits me, and I want to try and find something cute to go with it. I really want a pair of boots.Or new shoes of some sort. I've been trying to win tickets for a month so Rico can come with, but so far no luck. Maybe it'll happen last minute.
What else is going on? My 4th anniversary at WSG was the end of last month, which just seems crazy! Can't believe it's been so long since I left Renown. I left broken, depressed, and sort of lost, and I feel so different now. Having Bellamy was the catalyst. I had lost all drive, and was sort of aimless after I had Connor. But having her, and feeling that at least one aspect of my life was back on track gave me back part of the spark I'd lost. I've been back in school since she was less than a year old, and chipping away little by little...if next semester turns out to be my last at TMCC, what an accomplishment! Steady as she goes, I guess.
Rico is at ease for the first time since quitting smoking, and it's fabulous. He's very lovey and affectionate, and it's so nice to have him back. Plus his focus is ridiculous. He is out looking for jobs everyday, working out, just trying to improve our lives and I love him for it. His perseverance is remarkable.
And Harrison still thump thumps away. He didn't show us his face at my ultrasound yesterday, but we got a really cute sequence. In the first one he turns his head and puts his fists up to cover his face. In the second one he opens his hands and shows us his fingers. In the last one he completely shrimps up, brings his legs up and his head back. So stubborn, and so adorable.
For now, I am going to go see if I can tear my fella way from Starship Troopers and tear into him myself instead. Zing!!

Pregnancy Post 3something
Honestly don't remember what number I am on, and I am not too concerned about it.
I should be doing homework, and I just can't focus. Been trying all weekend and my mind just wanders. I'll do it this week, when I have already done other obligatory stuff, like gone to work. I had too much fun with the family circus this weekend to fuck it up by studying.
Friday night Richie's friend from work Brandon came over with his partner JR, and we got them started on season one of True Blood. Ahhh, new converts.) We had a blast, just chatting and visiting. Rico even made an amazing looking salad for everyone for dinner. Brandon and JR are both watching their figures in preparation for their wedding, and R has been working out like a bandit, so he wanted to be a conscientious host. Love him.
Saturday we were going to head to the balloon races, but slept in instead. It was delish. Then we ran errands as a family, which was also a blast, because we don't do it that often. First we went to the gym to add Rico to my membership, which is EXCITING. Then I had to get new bras and panties (Thank you, Harrison) and we had to get Belly some new shoes. It was a good morning. Very relaxing, and all three of us were in a lovey, affectionate mood.Plus I found out my gym does swim lessons for kids, headed by the serbian olympian fella who I've seen coaching people. AWESOME.
Bellamy and I both took naps after Rico headed to work, and then spent the rest of the evening relaxing and just hanging out. WHICH WAS AMAZING. To just be still, and relax. I did make her a deal that if she helped clean her room this morning, we'd check out the new museum, and she went to bed smiling about that. Also, her go to bedtime song is still itsy bitsy spider, and lately we sing it in crazy voices. Whisper voice, laughing voice, monster voice, you name it. She's just a kick ass kid.
Jamie and Jules also got home from their Cali extravaganza, so I got to see pics of my new great niece, and visit with Jam a little.
This morning was pretty much a house cleaning party, plus our handyman finally came and fixed some shit, so that was lovely. I had laundry done by lunch, and had cleaned the playroom and B's room (with tons of help from her.) After her nap i loaded up her and Jules and we did go to the museum as promised, and it was SO CUTE. There were kids everywhere, but not one of them was rude or misbehaved, and Jules and Bellamy did marvelously. There were tons of rooms to see, and everything was touchable and interactive. Pretty amazing.
When we got home B was so worn out we snuggled, and she let me give her restless legs a massage. Her growing pains have been so bad lately. I bought a wintergreen and juniper lotion to help her sore muscles...she loved it.
NEXT DAY....
So I completely fell asleep last night while typing. SHOCKER. Anyhoo. I should have done homework after B went to sleep, and couldn't focus to save my soul. Did one problem out of 20. Granted, it had 6 parts and took me almost half an hour, but still. Not ideal. Wanted to do more after True Blood and still couldn't FOCUS. So, I'll probably try again tonight after I go to the gym.
I have an ultrasound today (hopefully 3D if Harrison will quit squidging this time and hold still!) Then back to work, then gym, and then homework. Hopefully. I worked out 3 days in a row last week (gym thurs, fri, and then home workout with Belly on Saturday.) My plan is to do 3-4 days a week, and hopefully keep my swelling to a minimum so I don't look like the elephant man when I deliver.
Here's hoping.

Pregnancy Post 36
Oh fall semester, how I love to loathe thee.
Second week of school is underway, and I am already slightly overwhelmed with my whopping ONE class. But I finally was able to do my first homework assignment tonight (no idea when it's due, so I am doing homework as we cover the subject matter in class for as along as possible...) so for the moment I am completely on task. Since I am the one tasking myself.
Baby Boy is moving and shaking! It's pretty fantastic. I don't start kick counts for a few more weeks, but of course I am trying to learn his routine and just revel in his thumps. Now whenever Bellamy talks to him she starts every conversation with "Well hello, Baby Harrison Grey Fougner!" She's so proper.
Sunday my friend Erin watched her so Rich and I could go to Dr Hulka's Labor Day party, and I had her all amped up for it by talking about her 'playdate.' She was so excited she had to pack a bag, and was rehearsing what she was going to say on the way over. Adorable. And her and Gabrielle got along famously, which was an added bonus. She's such a big girl! I was so happy I cried on the way home...it had been such a nice weekend with her and Rico I was feeling exceptionally thankful and totally cried. For such a bruiser (she's into wrestling, and kinda beats up her Cousin Danny) she is also a little lady.
We also went up to my dad's last weekend for a night, and Rico totally relaxed, and shot alot of pool. He played dad, Marcia, and a cute young kid named Mason from down the street. We took B on a nature walk, which she wasn't a fan of, though she was excited to wear her new princess sneaks. I napped. Which was delish. I hope to have a few more weekends like that before little man arrives.
My maternity leave nest egg check was mailed today, and hopefully I'll get my school money this week. I am looking forward to that stress being officially wiped out! Exciting.Then we can buy a crib, and then head to babies r us to register for all the other fun gear.
I have to figure out a solid routine during the week though. I have been so tired, and so stressed about not doing laundry/cleaning/homework fast enough, on top of trying to actually spend time with Richie and B, and also relax and sleep, that I've had myself all worked up. Last night I pretty much passed out after work, school, and getting B to bed, but not before I unloaded the dishes and did one load of laundry. Today R put it away for me, and I did another load when I got home, and did homework after B went to bed. So...I've done a little everything, which is gonna have to do for now. Tomorrow after school I am going to the gym, since R will be around to get B.
Everything will work itself out in the end I guess. I just need to try and stay relaxed.

But I finally was able to do my first homework assignment tonight (no idea when it's due, so I am doing homework as we cover the subject matter in class for as along as possible...) so for the moment I am completely on task. Since I am the one tasking myself.
Baby Boy is moving and shaking! It's pretty fantastic. I don't start kick counts for a few more weeks, but of course I am trying to learn his routine and just revel in his thumps. Now whenever Bellamy talks to him she starts every conversation with "Well hello, Baby Harrison Grey Fougner!" She's so proper.
Sunday my friend Erin watched her so Rich and I could go to Dr Hulka's Labor Day party, and I had her all amped up for it by talking about her 'playdate.' She was so excited she had to pack a bag, and was rehearsing what she was going to say on the way over. Adorable. And her and Gabrielle got along famously, which was an added bonus. She's such a big girl! I was so happy I cried on the way home...it had been such a nice weekend with her and Rico I was feeling exceptionally thankful and totally cried. For such a bruiser (she's into wrestling, and kinda beats up her Cousin Danny) she is also a little lady.
We also went up to my dad's last weekend for a night, and Rico totally relaxed, and shot alot of pool. He played dad, Marcia, and a cute young kid named Mason from down the street. We took B on a nature walk, which she wasn't a fan of, though she was excited to wear her new princess sneaks. I napped. Which was delish. I hope to have a few more weekends like that before little man arrives.
My maternity leave nest egg check was mailed today, and hopefully I'll get my school money this week. I am looking forward to that stress being officially wiped out! Exciting.Then we can buy a crib, and then head to babies r us to register for all the other fun gear.
I have to figure out a solid routine during the week though. I have been so tired, and so stressed about not doing laundry/cleaning/homework fast enough, on top of trying to actually spend time with Richie and B, and also relax and sleep, that I've had myself all worked up. Last night I pretty much passed out after work, school, and getting B to bed, but not before I unloaded the dishes and did one load of laundry. Today R put it away for me, and I did another load when I got home, and did homework after B went to bed. So...I've done a little everything, which is gonna have to do for now. Tomorrow after school I am going to the gym, since R will be around to get B.
Everything will work itself out in the end I guess. I just need to try and stay relaxed.
