hey everybody! sorry it's been so long. it's been a CRAZY past two months. we moved to mississippi just to be told that we got up and moved for nothing and that we WEREN'T being relocated. we just moved into the new house on the 1st, and were told on the 3rd that they actually did decide to move us, and it will now be 30-90 days. i couldn't be more angry at the army. the whole time in mississippi was a disaster. long story short, hubby's family and i did NOT get along. hubby thought it was me. yeah. anywho.
i was going to go home to have the baby (which we found out is going to be a girl, and we're going to name her maya) but when i finally got back to atlanta to set up housekeeping so that when she was born we could go home and chillax, i started having a few problems. long story short, i was supposed to have her the end of october / first week of november originally, which got changed to the middle of september, which has NOW changed to "it could be any day now." none of the doctors quite know what she's got on her mind, as she's really eager to get out one day, and i'll be having contractions every hour apart and she's ready to go, and then it'll stop like nothing and i'll go without a single one for a day or two and then i'll have another day where it's h*ll on earth for me all day and all night just to once again have something click and it stops again. the doctor told us that he's just waiting for a call and will be there shortly after we are (we only live about 5 minutes from the hospital now). today and tomorrow we'll be going in for a bunch of stuff trying to figure out what's going on, how old she REALLY is, etc etc etc since there's a big debate that the doctors chose the right due date to start with. the really odd thing is that all of our doctors have told me i don't look more than about 4-5 months pregnant, and are quite confused by everything. any advice on what to think, anyone??
on a sour note, i had to rehome caine, sheeba and diesel. diesel went to a home that could give him more one on one attention that he really needed. he lives here in atlanta now, and is doing very well. i'm waiting on pictures from him, which should be here sometime in the near future. his new family is awesome, with no kids and he even still has a little furr-buddy (pom) to hang out with. rehoming him was truly awful for me and him both. i kept it together until his new daddy had to pick him up and put him in the truck because he would not leave my side. diesel even went so far as to growl and show teeth at his new dad, which is when i knew it was the right family b/c the man just comforted him and was really great about understanding. i could tell he was upset, and visa versa. they e-mail me weekly most times just to give me an update. i think i cried for three weeks straight, and it still really hurts to think about it, but at least i still keep in touch with his new family and they have offered for me to come visit. honestly, i don't think i could do it.
while in mississippi, sheeba and caine "turned vicious" at hubby's family's house. we didn't have a choice but to rehome them with a mutual friend of ours (together) because of the fact we were staying at his family's house and i could not find anywhere to stay or board them because they waited until the last week of june and there was nothing open until the end of july, which was "unacceptable." i swear it was pre-plotted. this is what started our whole fight with his family, because after i did this, they started doing the same thing towards axle and i later found out that hubby's cousin was taunting them through the fence. even more ironically they backed off of axle when he chased would-be robbers out of the house, yard, and jumped the fence after them. he kept not only hubby's grandma safe, but also kept the thieves out of the new appliances / new furniture that was being stored at her house. now, they "love" him and have even bought him treats when before all they did was tell him "go away" and talk crap about him. i can't believe how forgiving dogs are, because i sure would have let the thieves in. i have already let hubby know i don't want his family anywhere near me ever again. on a good note, i still do talk to our friend and sheeba and caine live on the river and get to play all day with their kids and go swimming, etc.
on the first of this month, packed and ready to go, my truck also let me down. at the most inopportune time. my brake line busted (supposedly due to the road salt that i encountered two years ago
) and let me run through a red light. my SIL says to me, "...you know that light is red, right?" to which i calmly replied, "yes"... then she asked, "do you intend on stopping???" and i said "no" and got the typical why, and i stated quite bluntly, "because my breaks just went out." her face was priceless. luckily, it was in our hometown which is very quiet as far as traffic goes. unluckily, the only person i almost hit was the sheriff himself ha ha.
anywho, enough rambling. i just wanted to give everyone an update and ask how everyone is! i've missed you all!
