Stupid Contacts
My boyfriends computer monitor died, so I had to wait until he hooked up another one before I could update. I went to a dietition and she said I dont eat enough. She said if I didnt start eating more, my baby could be born with birth defects. I dont really understand tho, because I always seem to be eating. I dont hold back on anything either. I guess maybe its because I dont eat regular full meals. Instead I’ll eat like a salad, bowl of cereal, or a sandwich when I’m hungry. *shrug* I’m trying to do better.
Friday, I had my 28 week check up, which included my rhogam shot. I was scared that it was going to hurt really bad. Luckily tho, I barely felt it. When she was giving it to me (with my head turned away) I wasnt sure if she was doing it or not. I felt a tiny sting, but I wasnt sure if that was it or if she was just wiping the area with stringent. She let go of my arm and I was like, “did you do it yet?” lol. It could just be that its been a really long time since I’ve gotten a regular shot, or the fact that I get my blood taken all the time now, and/or that the nurse used to be a pediatric nurse and had to give shots all the time. Well, the baby is good and healthy. 
One of my last contacts ripped on me yesterday morning. My boyfriend and I went to the walmart vision center (where I buy my contacts) and they wouldnt let me buy any because my prescription expired at the end of may. but because I’m pregnant, my vision is a little off. I barely notice, but my OB told me not to get them checked until after she is born bc pregnancy makes vision a little worse. and the optometrist was closed on Sundays. So yesterday and today I’ve had to go without being able to see. Luckily I can see up close, but thats all. I’m like 3-4ft away from the tv and It’s a little blurry still. This is horrible. I cant see to drive, so after my boyfriend gets off work (which hopefully the optometrist isnt closed by then), I’m going to my optometrist and hope they give me a temp prescription until after the baby is born. ugh.
Okay, well I’m off to eat something. lol.
Proud of Him
I had my gestational diabetes test done Thursday. At my last appointment they gave me this orange stuff to drink 45 minutes before my next appointment and then they would take my blood to test for it. Most people that I had heard from said the stuff was disgusting, but mine was pretty good. It basically tasted like orange soda. The only hard part of it was having to chug the whole thing in only 5 minutes. lol. I should get those results on Monday. Hopefully everything is a-okay. I just found out I have B negative blood type, which means at my next appointment I get a nice shot of Rhogam. 
That sucks. but I understand the benefits for having it and will get it no matter what. I was just hoping I didnt have to get it. For those who dont know what that means, since I’m a negative… I am missing a certain protien, which if the baby has positive blood my body will try to attack the foreign object. but the shot will prevent that from happening. We wont know if she has positive or negative until after she is born OR the blood type of any future baby. So we have to get the shot just for protection.
Jamie got a job. I’m so proud of him. He just left for the orientation. He is the new server for Pappasitos, which is an expensive mexican restaurant. It’s probably more famous counterpart would be Pappadeaux the seafood place? If maybe youve heard of that instead. They own a whole bunch of other Pappas restaurants but eh. Well it was probably the most expensive (meaning better tips, lol) place he applied at. I’m just happy for him. and very proud.
Alright. Well I have to clean our room, so I can work on some parts. Ciao.
Dallas Mavericks
I moved in with Jamie a week or two ago. I’ve been so busy with school that I havent had much time online. Friday is the last day all of my work needs to be turned in, so after that I should be okay. I had a job interview with Old Navy and it seemed to go very well. The manager said she would love to hire me, but wants to check with the other manager to make sure she hadnt hired a bunch of other people first. She said they would call me back to let me know when I could start. It makes me happy, but I’m still worried about not getting hired just because I’m pregnant. I have about 3 years cashier/customer service experience (plus other steady work history) and my schedule is wide open and flexible. Pregnancy is the only thing standing in my way. and its not a problem for me because I’m a hard worker and plan to take only the minimum amount of time off when I have our baby. I just need the money so I can buy our little girl stuff before she gets here. Jamie has applied to several (like 15+) places and no one has called back yet. His problem is that he has no work experience, but he is willing to start off at the lowest position. So I think he will get a job soon.
Alot of our attention has been on the NBA Playoffs. The Dallas Mavericks are playing against the Houston Rockets and its currently at 3-2 in our favor. Of course we want the Mavericks to win. Jamie even got to watch the 5th game on Monday which we won, btw. I was very happy for him bc I know he really wanted to go. I love him.
