Lee is the controlling boyfiriend? I thought you liked him and he was close with you.
I pray Naia realizes this on her own, before it's too late.
I just saw my own countdown, Aiden is expected in two weeks! I can't wait to hold him.!
I'm making this short. For starters, why don't you answer me when I ask how school is doing? I hope and pray everything is going well with that.
I'm not really up to writting right now. I spent the night in the hospital. The surgery was fine but I couldn't wake up from the anastesia. Then whe I did, I was too dizzy to move.
I do have everyday vertigo with my Meniere's Disease, but this was real bad.
I'm not in pain, thank God, but I feel like a got run over by a truck and it reversed! HAAH!
My face is swollen and I'm balck and blue. I'm achy all over.
That's my update. Thank you for your prayers. You're always in mine.
Take care and God bless,
Love,
Barbara
Yes, the father is also a Sailor. I told Kim about making sure his name is on the birth certificate. My girlfrind Rosa was just saying this, about the father having as much rights to the baby and he can stop her from bringing the baby up here. I told this to Darlene, if she doesn't get off her high horse and doesn't start trouble with Kim, the father can deny me seeing my grandson. Kim said that, and I can't blame her, she doesn't want Darlene in Aiden's life unless she changes her attitude.
Kim was checking on the day cares. Would you beleive the day cares all have a year and a half waiting list. So Kim is checking on babysitters, I don't know how much they go for. The day care is $175 a week. I asked Kim if the boyfriend will help her with that, I pray he does. Now it's getting her potion of the child support I fear. If I can get this guy to sign an aggreement to so much a month.
Back that up, Naia's boyfriend doesn't want to know the family. Red flag right there, trouble. WHo's the new guy? I thought she was back with Lee?
That's not a good thing, if this new guy doesn't want to know the family. If Naia agrees to that, I see this coming, he'll control her. You need to have a sit down mother/daughter talk on this. My prayers are with you.
I'm so glad Kim and I write to one another everyday now. She has been going to baby clases, but boy, there's a whole lot she has no idea what she's in for. The questions she asks me, she hasn't a clue on what to do when Aiden is here. I thank God, that not only blessing me with a grandchild, but that I'm here for Kim.
You still haven't told me how school is coming along.
Let me get going. You stay well and warm.
Take care and God bless,
Love,
Barbara
That poor girl. What ashame. Men can be such dogs, they like making those babies though.
I've been on Kim's case about having the ex boyfriend start a joint account with her , for the child support he promised. So far she hasn't said anything to him. I'd like to have it in writting as well. I told Kim to make sure the baby has his last name as well.
We've been having an argument when I bring this topic up. Many guys walk away from the situation. How many husbands are dead beat dads as well. Kim keeps saying she's fine and she knows what she's doing. So I'm up against that.
You never know, with Alan and this girl. I wish them the best. If anything did develope, he's the only father the baby knows. What a shame, I feel so bad for the poor thing.
Which exgirlfriend, your favorite, witchy poo? HAAH!
Let me get going. Stay well. Oh how's school doing?
Take care and God bless,
Love,
Barbara
' Would you beleive Frosty was cancelled again. I'm so pissed off. This is the second year. The woman President of the Ladies Auxillary cancelled it again. She said it's stupid.
Frosty isn't for her or the adults! The small children love the characrter, their eyes light up, and giggle when Frosty tapped their heads or their noses.
Even Donminick , the Italian Christmas donkey, the kids love the song. I made Dominick come alive. He realy looks like an Italian donkey, right off the boat! HAHA!
The children practiced 10 Christmas songs, the President only had them sing one. She should be ashamed of herself, taking from the children. I did Frosty, if must be like 9 years, then Darlene took over.
You're so sweet, I wish we did live closer. I know I feel the same way, like family. Any day now, I keep talking to Aiden's images about waiting for me! HAHA!
I'm having trouble with my girls. Darlene is so stubborn and always has a bug wedged up her butt. She's been on her high horse, and intends to have it out with Kim, for getting pregnant. I'm mad at Kim too, but what's done is done. I told Darlene, we're family, we have to stick together.
Kim knows Darlene is furious and doesn't want Darlene to come to Virginia, while she's with this huge attitude. There's going to be a problem with Darlene, I don't doubt it. I told Darlene I'd rather her stay home too, I'll take the train.
I think it's also a jealousy thing as well. Darlene spoke about having a baby awhile ago, even if it was not with a husband. I told her to get financialy stable first. She may feel jealous because Kim is pregnant first. Darlene always had these jealous streak I could never break from her.
I just reached my word limit. I'll meet you on page 2.
I keep talking to Aiden's 3D images, as if he can hear me! HAHAH! I keep telling him to wait for grandma! HAHA!
You want to laugh, last night, I was going off the computer. Darlene put a tape in the VCR, and I see a 3D image of a baby. The first though I had that maybe Kim sent it of Aiden, and wanted to surprise me! HAHAH! No, it was the medical TV show Private Practice! HAAH! We all had a good laugh last night! HAHA!
I'm going to have the same problem you have leaving your Aiden and Aubrey. I know already how I'm going to be when I hold Aiden in my arms for the first time. I'll be crying so much I won't be able to see him! HAHA!! That happened when I held Darlene the first time. Not so much on Kim and David. The first born was so overwhelming. I cry now when I look at Aiden's images.
Oh Kathy, I'm so glad I was sitting down for that one! HAHA!! Is Alan serious, that's too funny. Any day now !! Where's the father of the baby? That's too much, what, he made a date with her, while she was sitting behind a table or something! HAHA!
Any day, that should fun. My best wish's to you!! HAAH! Alan likes them pregnant! HAHA!
My neighborhood had it's annual Christmas Tree lighting ceremony. This is the second year, the President of the Ladies Auxiallary didn't want Frosty the snowman. I'm pissed.
The ceremony is about 99 years old. I did Frosty for many years. Frosty interacted with the children and danced. Then Darlene took over for me. I have a picture of Darlene and me on my page.
I created Dominick the Italian Christmas Donkey, the kids love the song. I brought Dominichk to life. He's gone too. The ceremony is now only one Christmas song then everyone walks to the firehouse for hot chocalte and cookies. Santa Claus gets delieverd by our firetruck and gives out candy canes. It's such a shame taking this away from the children.
Let me go. Stay well and warm.
Love,
Barbara
Is that a face you can eat up!! HAH!! That 3D images is unbelivable, I never saw anything like this. I told Kim, Aidan going to look like everyone, every few weeks, but as of these 3D image, I see myself. I'm adopted, so I look for features, and Aiden is me, right now. I wonder if he'll have my sense of humor! HAHA!! I have all 23
3D images saved on my mail.
I know, I'm going to be as bad as I was when I held Darlene the first time. The nurses were asking me I was crying. I couldn't see Darlene, my eyes were so filled with tears. I told the nurses, "You don't know how long I waited for this moment" As much as I love Kim and David, I wasn't as emotional.
I cry every time I see Aiden's 3D image, I look at it many times during the day. So I see this coming, holding my first grandchild! HAHA!
Kim , God bless her, other than the baby moving, she has no symptoms. SHe's just getting a little tired now, that's it. God willing her delivery will be as smooth.
WHat is it with your ex, that he has a vendetta to get you. You've been divorced for years. Why does he even bother thinking about you. He is nuts.
How's school coming along?
I feel so bad for you, not having any close friends. Are there any clubs you could join?
Where I live, we have several clubs.
I know what you mean, your children have to live their lives and have fun with their friends.
You know I'm always here for you. I know it's not the same, just writting, but I'm here.
Come down to Virginia when I leave. You want to laugh, I am meeting two people I have been writting to, when I'm there.
Let me run. I feel like I'm coming down with something. I have that nasty taste in my mouth and body aches. Doug was sick last week, my turn! HAAH!
Take care and God bless,
Love,
Barbara
You poor thing, I feel so sorry for you. Why did everyone desert you? How sad, I'm so sorry to hear that.
So what is this garbage about a tombstone for you. Your ex sounds like he's obsessed with you. Why is he even thinking of you, never the less having your tombstone made. Don't let him scare you, that's what he wants. Does he know where you live? See if you can get an order of protection from the courts. He sounds nuts.
Are those 3D images amazing!! I never saw anything like that. I looked up other 3 D images on You tube, WOW! I cry every time I look at Aiden's image. I look at them at least 3 times a day!! HAHA! I even downloaded one image and have it on my mirror on my dresser! HAHA! There's 23 images in all, just amazing. And he is a boy, there's a shot of that too !! HAAH!! I see that, I think, Not bad! HAHA!!
Kim went to the doctor today, but the doctor didn't feel around. I was hoping the doctor would predict the baby's weight. Last time, he's weigh was the expected size for how many weeks she's along. The doctor says Kim's 35 weeks and 4 days. You see the Due Date countdown graphic I have! HAHA!
Yesterday Kim wrote me an e-mail. SHe just wrote that her boyfriend was born with hair. I cracked up laughing. Me and all three of my kids had blonde peach fuzz the first two years of out lives! HAHA! Kim said the boyfriend's hair is so dark brown, it looks black. Good, let's put some color in here! HAAH! But is that a face or what!! HAHA!! I can't wait to eat that face up, he's so precioius!! HAH! In those images, I swear, I do see myself. I know the baby's apperance will constantly change, but right now, in those images, I see myself. I told Kim that.
Let me go, This message thing is now word limited! UGH!
Take care and God bless,
Love,
Barbara
A belated Happy Thanksgiving! You know I miss you when I don't hear from you.
How is everything and how is school going?
I like your new pictures. Alan is one handson young man. Naia looks just like you, beautiful girl, God bless her.
You look at my updated pictures? Kim put some pictures of my grandson, the 3 D ultrasound images. They're amazing how close and clear it is. I'm always looking at my little guy!! I added a due date countdown graphic! HAHA! Kim kind of freaked when she realized how close the date is. HAHA!
So how was Thanksgiving? Who had the honors of cooking?
Doug cooked the turkey but I did the rest. Darlene's girlfriend Bernie ate over, and surprisingly David graced us with his presence!
I'm still stuffed! UGH! Then we followed the night watching the traditional "The March of the Wooden Soldiers", I have it on DVD.
Let me get going. Please, don't forget me, I know your busy, but I miss you when I don't hear from you.
My prayers are with you.
Take care and God bless you my dear friend,
Love,
Barbara
My kid can drive me nuts. Kim speaks a differnt language some times. SHe's so hard to figure out what she talking about. Last night, she wrote me an e-mail. The doctor thinks she may be 31 weeks, 7 months. What doctor, where did this one fly down from?.
Everything she tells me, I'm getting upset, why isn't any doctors examined her.
Today's e-mail, she wrote, the reason why she didn't have the sonogram last week, the baby wouldn't stay still. So the doctor wants to use the 3 D sonogram this Wednseday.
Even Darlene said, it's like trying to "Decode" what Kim talks about. SHe leaves out information.
That's funny, the girls told Naia, ALan is Hot!! HAH! He is very handsome, it's just funny. In Naia's eyes, he's her brother, she doesn't see him like the other girls do, he's Hot! HAHA!!
That is so heartbreaking for Sarah. My heart goes out ot her. I know she's hurting inside. I can't understand how a mother leaves, I just can't imagine my life with out my kids. I always, say, they drive me crazy, but I'd be crazy without them.
And with her father's new family, she doesn't fit. I know.
I have a step sister, she's much older than me. SHe has always been nice to me and my family. But when we're together, even my kids tell me we don't belong there. It's feels like were strangers looking in from the outside. Not one of them talk to me or my family, we're completly ignored.
Let me get going. Early day tomorrow. I have the ENT appointment, about the surgery.
The doctor said having it done before the new year, isn't a problem. Come January, we get stuck with a new insurance that doesn't approve this surgery.
Now, this overlaps with the baby now. After I have the surgery, a month later I get activated and return every week for a few weeks. I can't, I'll be in Virginia.
I'm hoping and praying in January. Now that Kim said she was told she' may be 7 months. I pray the baby doesn't decide to come in December. We don't need another December birthday. It's a horrible month to have a birthday. No cards and No gifts, it gets overlooked by Christmas.
Let me get going. Stay well, my dear friend.
Take care and God bless,
Love,
Barbar
