Oh my gosh...I am SO TIRED of this medicine let me tell you! Today is day number two with NO Effexor in my system at all. This SUCKS! I refuse to get on that medicine again. I've first off felt so much better since cutting down from it and now coming off of it completely I'm sure will make me feel better but DAMN the side effects from coming down is aweful! And I have to deal with them now. UGH! It's so suckworthy and man let me tell you, not that I'm complaining, but dog gone it, I feel VERY PREGGERS RIGHT NOW! My feet are swelled and I know it's from walking in my sandals all day yesterday but man it sucks and I just feel very huge. LoL! Anyway, today has been interesting because of the medicine detox and I'm supposed to have drank like a whole bunch of water all day because I have a fun glucose test in the morning. BLAH! Anyway, until tomorrow folks!!!

Oh my gosh! I had such a good day! The cuz and I went to the mall after getting tires on his car and walking to Barnes and Nobles while the tires were being done. I picked up a quill. A real feather quill! It's so cool! I'm gonna put it on my desk at work! Then I had to pick up a book that teaches you how to do Calligraphy. Tee hee.

Then we went to the mall. There is a store in there that is all about...okay it's a pot smokers dream shop! I love it! Though I can proudly say I've NEVER smoked pot or done any kind of recreational drug in my life, this place is awesome! They sell hermit crabs, lots of hand made leather stuff, ooh, it's a gypsy type store. Anyway I got a couple more leather bracelets for myself (Like I needed them, but I love them!!!!) and I got one for the hubby. It had a blank plate and I was able to hit another store in the mall that does engraving. It was really neat to be able to do something special for him and get the engraving done. Last night he was talking to the baby in bed and she was just moving around, so I just put something simple on there that he said last night. It was really neat and I think he really likes it. He says he does so that's good enough for me. :-) And in the midst of all of it...I got my first pairs of maternity pants today. They are SO COMFORTABLE! I'm going back for more tomorrow.

Then I stopped okay I have to talk about this. Okay my hubby and I went a couple of weeks ago and stopped by one of those kiosks in the mall and you know, they stop you and rub your hands with the lotion or whatever. This one was for Dead Sea Salt. The thing that caught our eye was a bottle that they were talking about circulation for people that have diabetes. It is an "Intensive Foot Treatment" that has Dead Sea Salt and Eucalyptus Oil as the base. Well they sold us the salt base itself for the skin with some body butter for the thing and the foot treatment. We splurged a little bit and spent the extra funds to get all 3 not knowing what we were getting. Now first off the stuff lasts forever. It's well worth it. It's going to last us 6 months on the salt itself and that's with 2 of us using it once a week. The foot treatment is going to last between 9 to 12 months and the body butter will most likely last me at least 18 months and she gave me the soap for the face. Oh my gosh! I swear by this stuff! First off my stretch marks are DECREASING, my skin feels amazing and I suffer from migraines. The foot stuff for circulation works WONDERS on migraines! Take it from someone who found out on accident, it's AMAZING! I can't say enough about this stuff. So guys out there, I'm not kidding, if you are in the mall around work (For those of you that live close to me) and you see their stand in the middle of the mall about Dead Sea Salt products, INVEST! The stuff is worth the money for it. And I don't like spending money for anything!

Well, that's all for today. I had a GREAT day with the cuz today. It was so much fun to just hang out and my daughter really enjoyed the walk from today. I think I'm going to see what I can do to walk more often. She seems to really enjoy the stimulation for it. And my day without my phone was a complete success! It was very liberating! Side note...for the one person who will know what I mean by this (Ricky Bobby), Steve has found a home. The owner took him home and apparently now that he is on his own in a home no at the store, he's a whole new little guy. She said he's stopped tearing up the sponges, he's stopped being aggressive, he comes out of his shell and crawls around without snapping and everything. He's a very happy hermit crab now. Later folks!

Oh my gosh! I am SUCH a morning person lately! I don't get it! This morning I got the ole' man off to work, then went to the grocery store and am home and ready to cook breakfast! Me! I've decided today that I'm going to turn my phone off here in a few and going to leave it off all day! It's going to be a phone free day for me! I am going to go into town with the cuz a bit later for tires and who knows where from there! I'm so awake! I'm very happy today too! I think my daughter has a lot to do with it! I'm not sure why! Is it possible that she could make me this happy in the womb!? I'm convinced that it's her who's converted me into a morning person in a weeks time. Although, admittedly coming off of my medicine might have a bit to do with it too. Both the good mood and the morning thing. Now that it's almost all out of my system. Maybe I was on it for long enough. The depression medicine is what I'm talking about. Maybe I was on it and it's run it's course and done it's job and I don't need it any more and now that my body is getting used to me not having it, it's compensating and I'm being happy anyway. Who knows. I'd rather think that my daughter is the reason. LoL! Anyway....that's about all for me. I'll probably blog about my day when I get back. Later folks.

Ok so the one thing I've feared since my husband started working telecommunications happened today. He was climbing a pole and the ladder wasn't set right and it slung him off of it when he was about 14' up. He fell hard and landed on his side. He says he's alright but you know how it is to be a guy, he's not going to get checked out unless he's hurting in the morning. UGH! I love the man but I swear he can drive me insane sometimes! Ah marriage! Now I set here with a killer head ache worrying about him. Life is good. LoL! What else can I say?

And really, what would I say anyway? He's here. He didn't fall from 32' up and he's definitely still alive. So long as he doesn't have anything internal going on, we'll be good. Pray that there's nothing internal. But that's it for now. Gonna read my new Iris Johansen book that just came in the mail today! Woo hoo! I love her work. Old, new, romance, mystery, it don't matter. They're all good! Later folkses!

Okay so it has obviously been a long time since I've updated my website and I don't even know where to begin. Honestly I'm not going to try to catch up, I'm just going to update how I'm doing now! Actually I think I'm going to start blogging on here for my Facebookers and Myspacers.

I went to the OB yesterday and let me tell you, I like him more than I do my PCP. He's very knowledgeable. My PCP took me off of my blood pressure/migraine medicine and my depression medicine because they are both "Category C" drugs meaning I don't need to be on them in the third tri-mester of my pregnancy. No problem. Well my OB has actually been an amazing help through the weaning off process of both meds. While there was no major issues that I knew of with my blood pressure medicine I had some rough issues with the depression med. Well I went in yesterday because I had a bad migraine which I knew was from coming off of my medicine and I called the nurse at the OB and she said to come in and let doc see me so that he could prescribe something else. I got in and my blood pressure was 135/108. That is very high for me and especially during pregnancy. It concerned him. He wanted me immediately to lie down and see if it would drop and if it did, great.

Thankfully it did. A lot! SO he sent me home with a replacement blood pressure med that's both safe for me and the baby and told me to rest all day yesterday. I did and let me tell you, I feel great this morning. It's amazing what happens when you see a doctor that know's what he's doing! The best things happen, let me tell you! LoL! You actually start feeling good! Anway, that is about all that's been going on lately. I've been slowly but surely getting the baby's room in order. Good times huh? I stand again and say... I HATE MOVING!!!! BLAH! It's so strange.

The roommate is in mine and the hubbys old room (The master bedrooom), the hubby and I are in the guest room, and the baby's room is the roommates old room. Let me tell you, it's SO STRANGE! And funny enough I have been so worried that I would go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and the not thinking about it, walk into and crawl into bed with my roommate who is now in our old bedroom that I actually dreamed about it last night. It was freaky! When I woke up I had to tell my husband. It was so funny. In my dream I freaked out the roommate (Ok, I'm going to reffer to him as Mr2 from now on. It's just a lot easier.) So in my dream I freaked Mr2 out so bad he wanted to move out. It was so funny. LoL! Anyway, that's all I have for this morning. I will most definitely be blogging on here a lot more than I have in the past. Just so much easier! LoL! Later peeps!
