More later.

I rarely ever submit and i rarely ever update my journal. Sorries! Its been hectic. I am a full-time college student, married, and 7 months pregnant. So, i am a little swamped. Not to mention i just had a car accident last wednesday. Don't worry, baby is fine. Oh, and my the way... Its a boy! His name will be Dakota Michael. He's kicking away making my life miserable.
Jason is super excited about being a dad and i just can't wait for this pregnancy thing to be over with. Uuuuugh!
I feel like a whale.
And i hope *thegirlinthebigbox reads this. I have uploaded something you inspired me to do. ^^

I felt the baby move last night for the first time! It was soooo neat. It felt like being underwater and someone was makign waves against my skin except it was on the inside.

My mom doesnt think i am 3 months, if so i am BIG 3 months. And i shouldnt feel that much movement (moved for like 20 minutes last night) for this early on. And she was feel my lower abdomen and she thinks i may be 4 months.

i feel fat. Happy 4th!

Most of the nausea is gone. THANK YOU GOD! I am on 2 different anti-biototics for a reason or two and its rather irksom. It boosts my nausea directly after i take them, but a bottle of water smooths the way for it.
According to the household i am starting to "show." Bull malarky. I will show when i feel like i am started to show. And right now i am just a little pudgy. Yes i'm pregnant, i know this, but i just dont feel pregnant. I guess no woman does until she starts to feel the baby move. I cant wait. My ultrasound is scheduled for Aug. 5th. I am looking forward to it, but also not looking forward to it. Why? Simple. They want me to have a full as possible bladder. And then they are goign to push on me. Yes, i will get the see the baby, but... i am not excited about the agony of having to hold that much water.
Jason is losing his mind he is so excited. Can you blame him? First child on both sides. Actually, both me and jason are scared shitless.

I'm tired now. I think i am going to add more later.... goodnight world.

I need something. Commission. I need someone with talent to look at my tattoo (link provided) and add something around it. I need ideas for new additions to my lotus. Whether its waves and a koi or flames and a Pheonix, doesnt matter. And the winning submission will be BOUGHT. Yes, if you are chosen i will buy the hard copy.
Seriously, i will buy it.
