Moving

We are trying to move to Michigan, Tennessee just doesn't have anything to offer us. Chris' parents are not making things easy for us. especially his dad. On day he told us as long as we keep on paying our bills (the electric and water) then we don't have to worry about rent or paying on the car that we were driving. Then the next day he told us we had 2 months to move and he took the car way. Because we weren't paying on it!! Then the next day they took us to Wal-mart, bought us dinner, minutes for our phone, and Kai's diapers. They pretended nothing happened. So we have decided we are going to try to move to Michigan but this has been a challenge. We don't have a car so we can drive. We don't have enough money to rent a u-haul truck because only the big ones have 3 seats. The big ones are like 700$!! So now we are going to try to take a greyhound bus and just have his parents mail our stuff one box at a time. I hate that I would have to leave most of my stuff here. I don't like the idea of starting over. I wouldn't be able to take my couches, or our beds. Kai's swing would have to be left here. I know things aren't whats important, but starting over is hard. But I have a feeling moving to Michigan would be better for us. I could get a job and Chris can still draw unemployment for a little while. I could start going to college or maybe take the CNA class. There are just so many more opportunities in Michigan then there are in this small town in Tennessee. Plus my dad said we could us his car and he is going to try to help us get the tickets and stuff. I know Chris' mom is going to be devastated because we are taking Kai to Michigan but they brought this on themselves. I just hope we can be in Michigan before Chris' unemployment runs out!!

My life as a new, first time mommy!

On November 9th 2010 my life changed forever. 6lbs, 14oz of perfection entered this world at 12:39pm. Now hes almost 2 months old. He is my life! He's the perfect little baby. He only cries when he's hungry or cold. I love being a mommy. Waking up in the middle of the night to tend to him doesn't bother me at all. I don't work so I can spend every moment with my little man. He's already rolled over from his belly to his back once. I can't seem to get him to do it again. I believe he is already starting to teeth a little too. they grow up so fast so I plan on enjoying every moment. Only a mother can find to joy in just finishing cleaning a poopy butt and then getting peed on as soon as your ready to put the clean diaper on! Live.Love.Learn!

My pregnancy so far...

I found out march 11th I was pregnant. We were trying so this pregnancy was expected. We found out a week before we were moving to Tennessee, Chris was finished in the army. Bad timing to find out we were pregnant that's for sure. I haven't had a horrible pregnancy. I never really got morning sickness. Just sore boobs every now and then and terrible heartburn. I had acid reflux before I was pregnant but its been 100% worse! Today I'm 25 weeks 1 day!

On June 29th we found out we are having a little boy. We are naming him Kai Raymond. Raymond is after Chris' late grandfather. We will probably call him Kai Ray for short.
