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!!
