I called the dr.’s orifice at 9:15am this morn. but the dr. (both of them!) is on vacation so I talked to the nurse and she said “yes, you should be concerned that she’s barely moving” great! and she said that I need to go to the hospital to get monitored. Mind you when i was talking to her the baby decided it was time to start moving again, so i decided to wait a little while and see what happens. going to the hospital and getting hooked up to montirs for 4 hours is not exactly something i am looking forward to at all. well, she stopped moving soon after the call.. I layed down and waited… I fell asleep and I felt her move 2 more times the entire day. It wasn’t normal movements, it was like trembling way down below where her head and arms are. i never felt her “tremble” before. - like a little earthquakes. I woke up at 3pm (sorry to the guys at work for not calling back!) then D and I decided we should finally just go and get it checked out. So he’ll be taking the day off from work. We should have gone this morning! but ….
I’m hoping that she just turned around and is facing my spine. she’s been facing out for the last 2+ months so i was able to feel everything. if she’s facing my spine now, then it would be harder to feel her kicks. I’m keeping my fingers crossed about that. and hope it’s all just an overreaction on my part.
anyway, we’re going to eat something real quick here and then head for the hospital! updates at 11. :)
I decided to put my mind to rest about this baby’s sluggishness over the last 2 days. She’s not been moving much at all. yesterday only moved 2 or 3 times which is real unusual. SO i’m waiting for it to be a little after 9am to call my dr. office and see what they say.
I got up, had waffles and OJ. they say the oj should make baby move. well it did. she moved but only a little and now she’s not moving again. dunno, maybe i’m overreacting here but I rather be safe than sorry. Scariest part is my belly feel real hard which makes me wonder about amniotic fluid levels (i’ve been reading too much pregnancy material, i think)
Last night at 12:20pm i heard someone try to open our front door. a key was inserted and taken out twice, I knew it was too early for it to be dennis (he usually comes home at 1am) I though maybe he was sent home early because it’s been super slow at work these days. The dogs went nutso as usual barking up a storm at the door. but minutes passed, the dogs stopped barking and nobody came thru the door. Now that was creepy. later on when dennis comes home i asked if he had come home earlier but he said no. I told him about the incident and he thinks I must have been dreaming. BUT I WASN’T!!
I don’t know why i’m not more freaked out about the whole thing. I keep thinking someone had the wrong house by accident like some senile old man (many of those around these parts) If someone had wanted to break in, i think they would have done it already.
hmm… i think i might get freaked out tonight until D comes home.. I’ll make sure to have a butcher knife and speed dial for 911 ready.
I’m getting lazy, tired, sleepy all the time again. UGH!!!
yesterday after work i crawled into bed at around 6pm. got up at around 11:30pm, back to bed at around 3am. got back up at 7:30am for work. (too late, i know) And i’m tired right now AGAIN! but i gotta work. but i don’t want to cuz i have lazy ass syndrome. :’( I hate feeling this way. I wonder if jada is having a growth spurt and is causing this energy zappage to happen. she was real active last week which is when i was feeling so much better. but yesterday she was a slug (a sign of a growth spurt ..i think). she barely moved. it can’t just be a coincidence that i’m tired again. AND SO MUCH HUNGRIER TOO!
I really hope she’s not growing too fast in there cuz like i said before, she’s already 5 - 5.5 lbs!!! that’s a lot when u consider she’s got another 5 weeks of growing to do!! I hope she has a narrow head like D, and not a big fat one like me! LOL! I have a big head. no standard hat will fit. heh must be why my mother had a csection with me. If she does get too big, i might ask my dr. to “hurry up” the birth or something.
!!!I DON’T! want a c-section!!!
anyway, it’s just me, squeek and new guy jesse at work today. jesse doesn’t have root yet. heck, he’s still getting xp and linux on his workstations, so it’s really just me and squeek but that’s ok cuz it’s slow (for the moment anyway).
what else can i ramble about here…. hm…. i’m hungry. i had breakfast 45 minutes ago but i’m hungry. i’m thinking about having my lunch now. I’m not sure how much i weigh now but it’s got to be in the upper 180’s… lower 190’s.. i think i’ll hit 200 by the time this is all over.
what i mean is I need to tie loose ends at work before I go on leave. I have a small project to add something to a script here i volunteered for 3 weeks ago. not hard, just gotta do it. and I want to do more cleaning up with email and “finalize” things. There will always be room for improvement so it will never be truly finalized. 
hoping to do most of it all this week if things remain slow.
dinner last night turned out really good. even the ocra which even tho it was messy cuz i was rushing, it was real good. I can’t believe dennis filled his plate twice! where does he put it all? :-O . die another day was ok. not sure i like the fact that james bond made a couple mistakes and let himself get caught twice.. james bond is not supposed to make mistakes! :) I cringed when i saw haley berry in it. I don’t like her so much but she did a good job, imo, so i got passed that but the scenes with madonna.. ugh! I don’t think she’s any good at acting. even small scenes - i would rather be spared her “performance”. seeing actors i don’t particularly like is enough to ruin a movie for me. ie, i hate HATE! martin that black comedian i forget his last name. i can’t watch any movie with him in it. BLEH!!!
saw catch me if you can on sunday. now that movie was good despite leonardo dicaprio. i was suspicious about him in it but he did good.
enough dilly dallying… lemme see if i can be productive today.
went to the mall today w/ D. bought a few new maternity garb including one pair of pants.. WHY DID I WAIT THIS LONG TO GET NEW PANTS!?? for the last 3 months i’ve been wearing the same 2 pair I got about 3 months ago. they were ok for back then, but didn’t fit well for long.. one of them is way too tight and the other stretched out so much that they keep sliding down my belly and would fall off my butt completely if i don’t constantly keep pulling them up. hard to believe both are the same style and the same size.
the ones i tried on today were soooo comfy i asked the lady if I could walk out the store with them on. I even walked out with one of the new bras on. (yes, i payed for them) they are maternity kakhi cargo pants - the entire front side is an elastic panel with drawstring. they are huge. and probably oversized but so so comfortable. nothing else in that store was comfortable so i only got this one pair. I’ll be wearing these every day until the baby comes if i have to.
time to go cook (we’re having mashed plaintains, steak (YUM!), fried ocra (my first attempt at making that so wish me luck) and salad … D rented die another day for entertainment too.. weeeeee!!!
3pm. half of 2nd shift has arrived and i’ll be leaving soon to go home. had to work alone again today. it was nice and quiet. … and sloooooow. got called tice the whole morning but despite that i’m still 47 email behind. 
Not sure what i’ll be doing when i get home today. maybe lounge around, maybe more laundry and cleaning …dunno. There’s plenty of ‘chores’ to choose from .. I think i’m just burned out from all this work this week.
the new bedroom furniture looks great. of course nothing is ever perfect when it counts and the armoir was not varnished correctly (or at all) in a few areas. they’re having some guy come out to fix it. I’ll be calling every couple days till it is fixed tho. i’m good at bitching to customer service folk over the phone.. mwahahahaha!!!! now the bed is higher and more work for me to get in and out of. but it’s not that big of a deal.
ok, time to go get me some pizza or something.
