Well I have been away for the past couple weeks!! Things have been so busy! Mommy started a new job with Bank of America working in the fraud department. Hopefully I can do well, so I can pay our bills. Training has been extremely tedious and I have been struggling to stay awake. Guess the tiredness is back! I have also been having a hard time grasping things and remembering them as quickly as I normally do. I know it is do to the pregnancy, but it is so extremely frustrating. I'm not used to working at a slower pace and I sure hope when baby Liam/Ethan comes out I will bounce back. I also moved into a bigger place and I am so much happier! My baby's room is really starting to come together and it's not cluttered in my apartment anymore. Luckily my mother was able to come down and help me and Joel, Justin, my sister and the kiddos. I was really lucky. They helped me do it all! I also had my baby shower on Sunday 3/7. I have included pictures at the bottom. I had so much fun and was really surprised at how generous everyone was. I am really lucky to know such wonderful, giving people. We appreciate it so much because things are pretty tight and without Ben's support it is hard to buy everything he needs! My sister did a great job as a hostess, even with her "cake disaster", I was really happy, it went smoothly and wasn't stressed at all, which means she did her job! I still have to write out my thank you cards. I feel bad because they will be impersonal and more ecards, but I didn't get any addresses since my original invitations were ecards also. I guess it is the thought that counts. I cannot freakin' wait until Saturday because I get to see my baby's cute little face. I'm also really excited to share that with people who are really close to me. I'll be putting up those pictures as soon as I can. Ben and I are still about the same. We are talking a little about the baby more frequently. I still can't trust him and don't really believe a word out of his mouth. I guess we'll see. I still love him, but I am really hard on him. He doesn't get to know how I feel and I will never be vunerable or pathetic in front of him again. I think in the long run he is missing out big time, but that's his fault. I'm just trying to get through one day at a time right now. I will try to start writing more again, things have just been insane!
