Today is my birthday, and it is a very special one for me :) I am 26 years old and I can't believe how time flies. 10 years ago I got my first car...a red chevy cavelier, and I thought that was cloud nine (Hah!). Now I have a wonderful husband, a nice home, great job, great family and friends, and last but certainly not least...my little Carson making his debut in just a few months! Not too much I could want on this Birthday!
However, that wonderful Cory is taking me to the spa tomorrow for the full treatment! Ahhh.....Just what I need.

20 weeks, 4 days
I am almost to the 21 wk mark...time is going by very slow for me. We took our hospital tour last night at Northside Forsythe Hospital. And we fell in love with it, the people were wonderful, the facility is new, clean, and very personal, and very close to our house.
I had my 20 week check up today and everything looked good. Carson was moving A LOT like usual when we were trying to get the heartbeat, he always gets hiper when we need to get something done....this reminds me so much of Cory. :)
A few negatives....
If possible (I will be working on doing this today) Cory and I would like to find another OB Dr. to continue my care. There is nothing bad about my Dr., but she has no bedside manner and has not prepared me the way I hear most Dr.'s prepare their other patients. I also feel that my wishes are not as important as her own. For those of you who are not familiar with Atlanta and the hospitals - Northside/Downtown is considered the Baby Factory, its the largest maternity area around. Almost EVERYONE has their babies there, b/c its good, but it is also crowded, in downtown and I don't feel we will get the attention we need there, not to mention that the location is extremely inconvenient for us. And my Dr. is a HUGE advocate for this hospital. The hospital we prefer is Northside/Forsythe, its just our choice and she doesn't respect that. So we are going to change OB practices to one that delivers mainly at Forsythe. I have heard rumors that some Dr.'s won't accept new patients after the 1st trimester, so I hope that is not the case.
Another thing I struggle with is my weight gain, I am constantly reminded by strangers that I am much larger than I should be at this point. People I meet often think that I am about to deliver. For example....when we walked into the hospital last night we looked around and a nurse pointed me to admissions, and I looked puzzled...and said we were here for the tour. And she laughed and said "Oh I thought you were here to have your baby." Thanks lady.
I am +16 pounds since I got pregnant. My Dr. said its fine, but from what I have read, at my weight before pregnancy, I only needed to gain around 20 lbs. So obviously I am way overboard. I am not looking for advice, as I have spoken with my Dr. regarding some changes I need to make in my diet. I just wanted to ask for some prayers since this is something that constantly frustrates me.

House Update...
We finally see the light at the end of the tunnel (fixing up our house). We finished painting the kitchen trim and most of the living room yesterday, and will finish tonight. I will try to get some pics up soon. After we finish painting we will shop for an area rug for the living room, and order some crown molding. I hope it all comes together...I am not much of a decorator, I have no idea what I am doing :(
Then we can really get started on Carson's room!

Lunch
Sadness.....I went to Benihana for lunch today and discovered they no longer have yum-yum sauce! Those who know me understand this is a tragedy. I haven't been able to eat Japanese since I got pregnant, and now that I am wanting it again, the best part is gone. Rest in peace yum yum sauce. :(

My sister in law sent me this email and I couldn't agree more...
THIS IS SO INCREDIBLY WELL PUT AND I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE
IT'S BY A YOUNG PERSON, A STUDENT!!! WHATEVER HE RUNS FOR, I'LL VOTE FOR HIM.
Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters,
We have stuck together since the late 1950's, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has run its course. Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right so let's just end it> on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way.
Here is a model separation agreement:
Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass each taking a portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy!
Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes.
We don't like redistributive taxes so you can keep them.
You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU.
Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA and the military.
You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell (You are, however,> responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all three of them).
We'll keep the capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart and Wall Street. You can have your beloved homeless, homeboys, hippies and illegal aliens.
We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEO's and rednecks.
We'll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood.
You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us.
You can have the peaceniks and war protesters. When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we'll help provide them security.
We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values.. You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism and Shirley McClain.
You can also have the U.N.. but we will no longer be paying the bill.
We'll keep the SUVs, pickup trucks and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Subaru station wagon you can find.
You can give everyone healthcare if you can find any practicing doctors. We'll continue to believe healthcare is a luxury and not a right.
We'll keep The Battle Hymn of the Republic and the National Anthem. I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute Imagine, I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing, Kum Ba Ya or We Are the World.
We'll practice trickle down economics and you can give trickle up poverty your best shot.
Since it often so offends you, we'll keep our history, our name and our flag.
Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just hit delete.
In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll bet you ANWAR which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.
Sincerely,
John J. Wall
Law Student and an American
P.S. Also, please take Barbara Streisand & Jane Fonda with you.

Confession Time
I love the show on Bravo "Real Housewives of New York"
Cory hates this about me so I have to DVR it and watch it when he isn't around. I have always loved everything "New York"...I would love to visit again someday. This show is funny, dramatic, and jaw dropping. I definitely recommend it if you are into reality TV. It comes on Tuesday nights on Bravo around 10 I think.
