Well, the neighbor came to visit today. Her name is Angela Higgins and she seems pretty nice. She was visiting for awhile and we got along good. We’re both looking forward to having someone to visit with and have our kids play. She’s gonna buy the "Exnort" in June or July. I’m kinda gonna miss my car, but K. and I can’t really afford the extra $50 each month to insure it, and I’d hate to be really far along and get stranded somewhere! So, I’m gonna sell it for $400. Besides, the tape player ate my favorite K.T.Oslin tape! I’ll just drive the T-bird – not a bad punishment, eh? Anyway, the visit must have went GOOD, because she is coming by tomorrow too.

Well, I’ve been thinking about a new name for the baby. I really don’t like Adrienne, which is the name we had picked out. But I really like Katrina (we could call her "Katie" for short.) I wonder if it’s gonna be a girl or a boy, both K. and I want a girl, but a little boy would be just fine too!

Well, it’s been a really "interesting" day! Kevin gave me a hard time this morning about going to my friend Vicky’s house – I wanted to go visit, but Kevin doesn’t particularly like or care for Vicky’s company, so he REFUSED to go! That really pissed me off, so I was out of bed in 2 seconds flat, and carried a grudge ALL afternoon! Finally, we resolved our differences, and talked about the argument. He said if I give him a little warning that I want to go to Vicky’s, he won’t be so PIG-HEADED! Second, I got a phone call, from my mother! I’ll be damned! I told Kevin that she had to make the first move, and she did! She wanted to know how come I hadn’t called, if I was mad at her – I told her a 1/2 truth, that we were low on gas, and our phone bill was too high. Shit happens! So, I told her that I have a pre-natal visit on Monday, so we might drop by then, and Kevin said it was o.k. Then, just as I was getting off the phone with Mom, Angela came over, and she wanted to know if I wanted to take a walk – so I did, and we had a nice walk. I think she and I will have a good friendship. We get along good, and she tells me anything I want to know about having the baby. What really made me happy, was that she comes to visit on her own, and I don’t have to ask her or anything. I wish my hair would grow a little faster, I don’t like it short! God give me the energy to get up and do the dishes! When Angela came over the house was a total mess! I’m starting to get a bigger appetite (Baby is requiring more nutrients!) That’s good though, because I haven’t gained ANY weight.
