Blogging is frustrating.....Waiting is getting more frustrating

I am the lamest blogger on earth! Partly because I do not find blogspot very user friendly at all. And I say that tougne-in-cheek because it is probably ME that doesn't know what I'm doing and the website is perfectly fine. However, it super bad bothers me about cute photos for the header not going alllllll the way across the top, and I cannot get my blog title to center at all, and I have about a 12 minute span of fiddling with it all before I give up.

Combine that with our internet that is through Verizon (never ever a good idea but the only internet available to us) which has very bad cell service, uploading photos is a real trial. I know if I googled how to change settings on blogs, all would go nicely, however, when it takes 45 minutes to download a simple 4 minute YouTube video???

Yeah. Enough Said.

I prefer that people still believe I'm a patient, loving, amiable, and sweet person. (HA!) Which is why I only see you probably once a year and I've had good time to prepare myself for "being on best behavior at all times." :) More likely it is because you are the one that is patient, loving, amiable, and sweet and I'm trying to emulate you and take mental notes of how you are always that way.... because well, I fall extremely short in all areas.

Consequently I blog when I feel that too much time has passed or an important event has happened, or maybe I've had enough spiked hot chocolate to counteract the possible effects. Just kidding. This one takes in all three, minus the spike.

I'm getting SO fat! This baby is 36 weeks along on Wednesday and everyday I feel heavier, walk even more like a duck, have lots and lots of nice heartburn, and feel slightly waspish. I also am on my 3rd Doctor with this child and likely will change again. My one Dr. died last week of a sudden heart attack, and his wife who is also my Dr. will be out for at least 3 months. I don't have three months. So, I have another Dr. who is trying to substitute the practice of 4 Dr's, now down to 2 and still deliver about 60 babies per month as well as find other interim Dr's. It is not likely I will see him again except luck of the draw. It is a shame, because #3 Dr. is awesome. I'm beginning to believe it would be easier to go back to Kalispell! But I will not do this without my husband. I need him and time is closing in.

We do get to go meet my family for Christmas in Fairmont for a week which I'm grateful to have a healthy body, a healthy baby who has dropped (but no concerns of delivering before January 3rd due date) and given the go-ahead to travel. Dr. #3 also says baby will be  healthy 8ish lbs, not the 10 lbs I've been led to believe. How does one spell relief......! I will be 38 weeks when we return after Christmas, so I hope this kid holds on until then. No Christmas baby please! I am all belly- it is funny to see reactions in the store when I turn side view to them. It's an eye-popping experience. For them. And people do not talk to me anymore. They talk to the belly even though we're having an adult conversation. This is probably just par for the course of what's to come. "Oh! You are ____ mom!" all the while never looking at me and they tickle the baby cheeks and feet.

I got some photos for my 35 weeks, and hopefully some more this weekend with husband.

And just kidding. You don't get any photos because I have no more storage on blogspot. And I am about 'freebies'. And I am not able to transfer to another provider unless I have fast internet.

.....

I know.

I'm sad with you too.

Hi Carmyn, Came upon your link on Lani's blog. It was fun to bunk next to you at Mandan! Cannot believe how much your first year parallels mine in adjusting from a Mtn Girl to a "flatlander!" There's a lot to be said by who stands beside you!! You are a doll and am quite sure your momma and daddy are standing together with you in this experience too. Hope we get to hear what your little one will be ! That is exciting. You will make it, and like me will someday look back on these growing experiences. As my momma told me often, "Keep that ol smile smilin'!" Keep warm! I thought of you the other day when I was contemplating whether I should put a blanket up in the stairway! :) Greg said, "Turn up the heat!"
