Shit. On. Toast.

Description of yesterday: Shit On Toast. 

Yeah, it was a really bad day.  It started out half decent I guess.  I went with Melo to get her nails done and then she took me to El Toro Viejo for some amazing chicken fajitas.  Then she went home to do her hair and make-up and pick up her son and then she was going to come to my house. 
Meanwhile, my other friend came to visit because he hasn't seen Melo since she got home from Georgia.  I have to admit, I like attention and I have the tendency of getting kind of jealous.  So, when Melo took forever to get here, George decided to hang out with my little brother.  Why?  Because I wanted to go for a walk and talk to him about stuff, but my little brother was going to check all of our window wells for mice and shoot them.  Obviously, he chose the funner one of the two options.  Whatever. 
I was getting kind of impatient so I texted Melo to see if she was coming or if she was going to ditch me for her not-boyfriend and her other friend, because that's all she's done ever since she got home from Georgia.  She said she was almost ready.  Half an hour later she called.  She was almost at my house and her son threw up all over the car so she was going back home to clean up.  This is understandable, I didn't mind this at all lol.
However, I did mind when she came to my house 45 minutes later and Julian threw up peanut M&Ms all over the carpet in my room and then left without cleaning it up.  Yeah.  I was a little bit pissed.  
So then Isa called ♥.  This made me happy.  But I was already so stressed that I started crying and I'm sure it looked ridiculous because we were talking on webcam and I'm sitting there on the floor of my bedroom, balling my eyes out, and scrubbing shit looking throw up out of my carpet.  It was awful.  So I talked to him for a while and then he had to go so I told him I would go buy a phone card and call him later.
After dinner my dad brought up how he thinks it's a bad idea to go to Mexico when the baby is only 2 months old.  Maybe it is, maybe it's not.  But I've made up my mind.  There are babies in Mexico and they do live.  What's so hard to understand?
So I bought the card and called Isa.  I don't know what his deal was but he was not in a very good mood and we ended up fighting.  Great.  He accused me of only wanting to be with him because I'm having his baby.  Seriously?  SERIOUSLY???  If I was only with him for that, I would have given up a long time ago.  I wouldn't put all this work and stress into getting him back to the States.  I would find someone else to be with.  It wouldn't even be hard to find someone else, and he knows it.
Anyways, the card ran out of money and the call ended and I cried for 2 hours until I fell asleep.  
Today he called ♥.
I knew it.  He apologized for being a butt head and said he wanted to talk on webcam.  Okay.  The old me would have been like, screw you, I'm pissed.  But for some reason, I felt kinda bad cause I said some things that weren't so nice last night too.  So we talked and everything is better :).  He really wants me to go to Mexico to have the baby.  I really want to.  I don't have the heart to tell him I still don't have my passport.  Besides the fact that I'm terrified of going into labor and having a baby somewhere that I'm not familiar with and where I won't be able to understand everything the doctors are telling me, and his English isn't all that great so it's not like he could translate.  Not to mention, I have medication that I have to take every day and I wouldn't have a way of refilling the prescriptions every month.  And then there's the whole traveller's alert thing going on, that unfortunately, my dad heard about. 
I want to be in Mexico more than anything right now.  I just don't know how it would work out.
Ugh.  Okay.  I'm done venting.  Sorry.   

Babies and Gal Bladders

Today I saw Alice In Wonderland.  Again.  It's still good the second time!

Some more exciting news, approximately 9 WEEKS TIL BABY BEL ARRIVES!!! And only one month until MY birthday!  I didn't even remember about my birthday until yesterday I got a text from Isa reminding me :) he's such a sweetie.  I have to admit, whenever he sends me cute messages I save them in my phone and now there's so many that I'm sending them to my e-mail so that I can delete them off of my phone and make more space.  Oh, and also, 2 of my cousins are pregnant!  Jess and Lisa are expecting in September and Scott and Roxanne are expecting in October.  By the end of this year, my grandma will have 14 great-grandchildren.  Holy cow. 

I think I experienced my first Braxton-Hicks contractions today.  I didn't like it very much, but I gotta say, it didn't hurt as bad as when I had that gal bladder attack.  When I went to the emergency room in January for my gal bladder the doctor said that if I didn't pass out from the pain of that, that I should be fine during labor.  I don't know how he would know, because I'm pretty sure he's never shoved a kid out of any orofice on his body, and I'm going to assume he hasn't had a gal bladder attack.  But I hope he's right.  That gal bladder attack was a beast and a half.

Don't Marry You're Orthadontist

Okay, so I was really bored and decided to look around on Facebook at kids that went to my high school.  You need to understand, first of all, I used to hang out with the popular kids until about 9th grade.  Then I got sick of them.  Anyways, when I quit hanging out with them I ended up hanging out with kids that teachers hated, the nerds were kind of afraid of, and the popular kids wouldn't talk to.  But I liked them!!! 

*Disclaimer*-The following is kind of a generalization and I'm not saying that everyone turned out like this.

Anyways, I was looking around and I think half of the guys that were on the football team, still have their main profile picture as a picture of them playing football.  Not college football.  It's not like they've moved on or anything.  They're pictures that I'm pretty sure I saw in the local paper in the sports section, maybe even during junior or sophomore year.  Yeah, I guess that's pretty cool to be in the paper.  I would save stuff if I was ever in the paper.  But seriously???  MOVE ON PEOPLE!!!  These are gonna be the guys that end up working for all of the smart kids that they picked on and they're gonna be really fat and just sit around and dream about what a great NFL player they could have been if they would have been smart enough to get into college and then somehow be discovered by some NFL coach.  Another sad thing, is that they're not even gonna be fat from sitting around and drinking beer.  They're gonna be fat because they got some cute little mormon wifey that makes brownies every Sunday to go with her fried chicken and green jello salad.  Yeah.  Welcome to Utah. 

Another thing I noticed, was that, HOLY SHIT! a TON of girls that were my age are already married.  That's understandable, and I don't think there's anything wrong with getting married young, obviously, I mean look at where I am.  And Isa is about 4 years older than me, but some of these girls married guys that look like they're old enough to be their dads!!!  Seriously.  If you're only 18 or 19, don't marry a guy that looks like he's old enough to have been your orthadontist back when you were in 6th grade.  If you want money, marry a guy that's still in the process of becoming an orthadontist.  You'll have student loans up the ass, but they'll get payed off quick when he graduates. 

It kind of seems to be a trend where I live.  Small, but rapidly growing, predominately LDS community in Northern Utah.  It's like girls graduate from high school and immediately start looking for a returned missionary and if they can't find one that just got back, they go for the ones that have been back for YEARS and haven't gotten married cause there's something wrong with them. 
Maybe I'm just being judgemental, but this is just the way I see things.  Statistically, men die younger than women do anyways, so don't go marrying some guy that's gonna die before your kids graduate from high school.

*Disclaimer #2*-I don't have anything against LDS(mormon) people or those cute little mormon wifeys.  I am LDS, my family is LDS, and my cute little mormon wifey grama makes some kick ass fried chicken and brownies!

Miscellaneous

♥Sooo I'm pretty sure I've mentioned how absolutely amazing my mommy is.  Well she bought these cute little hats and headbands and then she bought the flowers and glued them on alligator clips so that I can mix and match them with Isabel's outfits.  My mom is so ridiculously crafty.  I'm sure there will be more of her awesome creations to come.♥

Good news!  It's Monday!  That means no more weekend so I can get back to watching Craig Ferguson!!!  Just sayin.

Just a little update from my weekend.  Melo and Julian came home from Georgia on Friday.  We went to La Tormenta for dinner and it was delicious :)  I hope tacos really are like that when I get to Mexico so I don't have to worry about starving to death. 

Then I went bowling with some other friends.  Our bowling names were Dayzeee, La Gringa, La Shawwwty, and Mexican.  In other words, Daisy, Josie, Kim, and Karla.  Then we went to see Alice In Wonderland.  Can I just say AMAZING.  The lady next to me had a really annoying laugh and I was really close to punching her in the face, but other than that, I was impressed. 

Karla, Tanya, Kim, and Daisy cheezin it on the end.

This would be me and Karla in our impressively attractive 3D glasses.

Also, Saturday morning I went with my parents and my little brother to Pocatello to have lunch with my Grama Perkins and my aunt, uncle, and cousins.  Grama gave me $100 to spend on baby stuff because I still needed a crib mattress and a changing pad to put on my dresser, because there is no more space for an entire changing station in my room.  Lucky for me, Melo had an extra crib mattress so she gave me one of hers and today I went and spent the money Grama gave me.  I got the changing pad and a soft, pink, removable, washable cover for it and NEWS FLASH: Sam's Club has really cute, good quality baby clothes for really cheap!  I got a really cute, fancy dress, 2 other dresses, 3 rompers, and 2 other pant/onesie outfits for get this: $54 dollars.  That's 8 outfits at an average of $6.75 a piece.  Holla!  I showed my dad everything I got.  He said for a girl that never liked to play with dolls I've caught on quick :) 

I talked to Isa for a while today :D  Edwin was with him.  Edwin and I were making faces back and forth at each other and I think we were embarassing Isai because when a person walked past he would kind of move in front of the computer screen and block their view haha.  But he loves us ♥ and I'm glad that Edwin already likes me so much.  He didn't stay to talk long because the computer he was using had something wrong with it so he could hear me, but I couldn't hear him and so he got frustrated, but he's going to send me a message when he gets out of work tomorrow and we're gonna talk again.

Oh, one last thing!  I took my medical terminology final today and I got a 90%!  Which means I'll be passing the class with a 91%.  I was kind of mad at myself, because I think I could've done better, but my teacher seemed really impressed.  I don't know if that's saying a lot, but there are some pretty.....special people in my class.  I'm starting the Medical Office Administration program on Wednesday and I can do it up until my baby is born and then take up to 6 weeks off and I'll be able to finish before I go to Mexico in July!     

Orange Death.....I mean.....Glucose Test.

That's right.  Today I had a doctor's appointment and I had to do the damn test for gestational diabetes.  That orange drink they give you is awful!!!  I kept saying 'orange jello, orange jello' and then I would take another gulp.  "orange jello, orange jello, orange jello" *GULP*  But I got that damn thing finished in 5 minutes and I did not throw up.  I was pretty proud of myself.  When I finished the drink I had 50 minutes until my appointment so I was running erronds with my mom.  We exchanged some shoes at Shopko for my grama and then I had to pee.  But I wasn't allowed to!!!  30 minutes to go.  I had to wait until my appointment because I had to pee in a damn cup!  At the women's center they don't even have those sterile cups like at the lab.  There's a stack of plastic cups in the bathroom and a sharpee that you have to write your name on the cup with.  Lucky for me the lady today gave me a stick on label.  Anyways.  30 minutes to go and we went to Walmart.  Mom and Dad are going to Nashville in March so we were picking up some travel bags for mom's tooth brush and stuff like that.  Sooo we get everything we need and head to the check out line.  Someone 3 people ahead of us, in the process of checking out, is buying a vaccum.  Then they realize it's not the vaccum that they wanted.  So the cashier called someone from the service desk.  10 minutes until my appointment.  The person from the service desk showed up to take the vaccum and go look for the one they wanted.  8 minutes.  The lady decided to pay for the rest of her things and go to the back of the line to wait for the service dude.  7 minutes.  I'm dancing around trying not to pee my pants.  Mom gave me the keys and told me to go get the car and wait for her by the doors.  5 minutes.  I have the car waiting, Mom comes and gets in the car and we take off.  We pulled into the hospital woman's center parking lot with 1 minute to spare.  I went up the the desk and told the lady I finished the drink at 1:21 and I asked her if I could go to the bathroom.  "No, they're going to take a urine sample, but they'll call you really soon to draw your blood."  DAMN IT!!!  I sat in a chair with my legs crossed as far as they would go and the baby started kicking my bladder!!! But then the lady came out and called my name to get my blood drawn.  I hate needles.  She was really fast though, and she didn't miss my vein, but then she left the needle in my arm for longer than expected and my dumb ass turned and looked at it!  My mom said the color drained out of my face.  I believe her.  Finally she pulled it out and wrapped me up and the other nurse came and SENT ME TO THE BATHROOM!!!!!  Holy Mary, mother of Abraham Lincoln, FINALLY!!!  I still had to worry about getting some of it in the damn cup though and that isn't really one of my best skills.  But I did it!!!  And I finally got to relieve my bladder!!!  Anyways, the doctor says everything is great, my stomach measured at 28 centimeters, which is just right, I'm finally putting on a little bit of weight, which is awesome, finally and Baby Bel's heart beat was 140.  :)  I'm a happy mommy.  I texted Isa, and of course he didn't get it, but he texted me to call me goodnight a couple hours ago and when I texted back he actually got it!!!  We get to talk tomorrow :)  Oh, and my best friend Melo and her baby boy are coming home from Georgia tomorrow!  Yay!  Well.  Peace out for now.

What a hunk!!!

Talked to my Isa today :)  He's a babe.  Or at least I think so.  He was already kinda tough, but now he's working at a tortilleria and he has to carry bags of corn and flour and stuff around and he had on a wife beater tank top today.  His arms just looked so buff and wonderful haha.  He also got a hair cut.  His hair kind of stands on end all the time.  Straight up.  Straight.  Not like he got out of bed and it's messy, stand on end.  Each individual hair is just like it's trying it's hardest to get as far away from his head as it can!  I've tried to make his hair lay down with water and gel and hats and bandanas, just for the heck of it.  But nothing will make his hair lie flat on his head!  Not that it's a bad thing!  But it looks really nice when he gets it cut.  AND he got his ears pierced.  I don't know what it is about those little, square, fake diamonds, but I LOVE EM!!!  He wasn't a fan of my blonde hair.  Which was kind of upsetting.  But he's never seen me with blonde hair, and it's my natural color.  I think he just needs to get used to it.  His earring reminded me of this one time right after I met him.  Him and his friend went to a party and they came back and his lip was pierced.  Off center.  They had some girl at the party do it, so I'm just assuming she was drinking haha, and he must have been to because I don't know why else he would let some drunk stranger near his face with a needle.  I'm pretty sure the stud they used wasn't sterile because the next day it was red, and swollen, and there was all sorts of nasty juices leaking out of it.  He took it out.  Thank God.  He says he's going to get it pierced again.  I was like, Papi you are not the brightest crayon in the box.  When the baby is old enough she is gonna LOVE playing with that thing and it's gonna really hurt when she just yanks it out.  He says he doesn't mind, but.....one day.....he'll realize that once again, I was right.  And when I'm holding a tissue to his bleeding chin, I will remind him that I was right again.  And, of course, how much I love him. 

It's a Better Day

Phew!  I finally talked to Isai today.  I guess his phone had died on Saturday and I'm assuming my calls weren't going through Sunday or today because of the calling card that I got.  I usually get 80 Cell cards but the store where I always get them were out of those ones so I got one called La Aguantadora.  I called over and over again today and it kept saying the line was busy, but I knew that wasn't true because he kept texting me asking if I was ever gonna call and if I was mad at him, and obviously I was texting him back but my stupid phone wasn't sending the texts through.  So around 9 I borrowed my mom's car (cause mine is in getting a new windshield so that it will pass inspection because my plates expired today) and I drove all the way into Logan.  I bought an 80 Cell because the store got a new shipment of them and I called before I even left the parking lot and YES!  THE CALL WENT THROUGH!!!  It was so good to hear his voice :) I really needed it, and he was relieved to know that I wasn't mad at him (because my wrath can be pretty ferocious.)

Anyways.  So, Thursday night I was all sorts of excited cause I was gonna watch Craig Ferguson.  His show started and like 5 minutes into it, it switched programs!!!  Just like that!  All of a sudden I was watching Montel Williams make smoothies in that stupid blender of his!!!  I was really upset.  Friday I went out with Daisy and so I wasn't home to watch Craig Ferguson.  But today is a Monday :) and Craig Ferguson will be on, as usual.  And I'll watch it.  It's a good day.  I finally got to talk to Isa, I get to watch Craig Ferguson, and even though Jake on The Bachelor picked Vienna, I can still be happy :)  Because even though I lost all respect for him when he sent Tenley home, I know that one day, Vienna will screw him over just like she did to her ex-husband and her ex-fiance and he'll realize what a DUMB ASS he really is!!!
