hey! had my first pre-natal visit today. It was nice (as nice as any physical can be.) I met my obstetrician, her name is Dr. Buchanon and she seems really okay. The visit went good (except for the discomforts of the pap and internal exam.) Dr. B says that I am healthy, and my cervix was the right size for someone who is 2 and 1/2 months pregnant – next visit Kevin can come right into the examination room with me (and she assured me that he COULD be there during the labor and delivery.) And next visit, in April, I should be able to hear the baby’s heartbeat – she’s also gonna schedule me for a sonogram between the 16th and 18th week.

Well, it’s been an eventful day! When I FINALLY got myself out of bed this morning (I seem to be sleeping later and later) I wanted to go to Milo to get a loaf of bread (the trip has sentiments.) But on the drive there, Kevin and I got into an argument. It was a real doozie! (I can’t seem to make it past 2 months of marriage without heated arguments!) Kevin mentioned that in a few years he would like to get ANOTHER new vehicle! Shit! he’s already living paycheck to paycheck because of debts on his vehicles and automotive parts! It seems that we will have NO extra money forever! I told Kevin that I’m worried that he won’t have enough money to buy diapers or baby food! We finally got back on track, BUT the resentments are still there.
