A Baby Girl (No Pink Allowed=)
So for those of you who didn't receive my text, I am having a girl. And just so we are clear, pink will be allowed, but not overwhelmingly so. I really prefer green and purple or pink and green colors. I also don't really fancy those bows that you strap to the babies head or glue there. Lets face it people, just because I am having a girl doesn't mean I all of a sudden like pink. You all know that I hate most things girly, but I do indulge sometimes. So just don't attack me with pink frills and lace okay? Oh and Chris decided that he really doesn't like Adriana, so now I need a new A name. It just seems all the good ones are taken!

Happy New Year!
Well this will be my first post of the year 2009. I thought about what I should write and I guess an update would be best. So far I am half-way through this pregnancy. The first couple months were horrible. But thankfully I am feeling tons better, except for the migraines. I keep getting them for some reason and it's very annoying. There really isn't a whole lot I can do about it. If I still have them when I get home, I usually take a nap and they go away. But then I have a hard time getting to sleep cause I am not tired anymore. A vicious cycle. Chris only has 3 months left at the TSA before he can quit and do whatever he wants. See, you have to put in 5 years to receive certain benefits for retirement and he will have worked there for 5 years on his birthday this year. I am really excited for him. I am still working for the forklift company and I am enjoying it not that I am not sick anymore. I still have days where I don't feel good, but they are few and far between now. I find out in a couple of days what the sex of the baby is and I am hoping for a boy. Not that I wouldn't want a girl, but my two friends who are also pregnant are having girls and there needs to be some balance in the world right?
Anyway, I am extremely nervous about the economy right now and I find it very hard to think about having a kid, when at any moment I could lose my job. Plus, I know I am going to have to go back to work and I don't want too. I am really hoping to move to a different state where the cost of living is less than Nevada. It is going to be hard enough to do without having to pay over a thousand dollars in rent every month. I don't know how people do it. I would love to find a nice work from home job to do while I am with the baby, just to supplement our income when I am not working. Does anyone have any ideas? I am going to talk to some different people about it. I really don't want to have to do daycare, but I might have too. Well, enough about my stress worries and more about what I want to name the baby.
I have picked out three boy names and three girl names. Ready?
Anthony
Travis
Marshall
Adriana
Freya
Rosemary
These are subject to change, but I like them so far. I am hoping that I don't feel the need to name my kid something annoying. These seem to be good solid names with a low chance of bullying involved. I wasn't specifically bullied for my first name in school, it was the last name that got me into trouble. But, people soon learned not to make certain jokes around me. I am quicker and meaner than I look. I love my last name now, cause you can't really make fun of it. I guess one of my main worries for my kids, is the bullying that other kids tend to dish out. I don't want my kids to have to deal with that. And sadly the bullying is not limited to public schools or private schools. You seem to run into it all over and that makes me sad. But, there is no sense in worrying about it right now. But, I am not going to rule out home schooling if I hate the school system.
Chris and I have been working really hard lately on saving for the baby and when I am not able to work. We are doing pretty well with it, but in about a half hour, my work is having a meeting about lowering everyone's pay. I am not supposed to know about it, but what else can it be? I mean with the way things are going they don't want to let people go, but they need to save money. I am not sure how I am feeling about this. I know I make less than my two predecessors before. So I am kinda annoyed. I guess it just depends on how much they are reducing it by. Well, I hope this is a solid update for everyone who reads my blog and wanted to know what is going on. Have an awesome weekend and have fun!
PS. I have decided to get the Wii Fit in order to help stay in shape and loose the baby weight. I am excited!
P.S.S They are reducing most wages by 2.6 percent. It could be worse.
