The Apocalypse

Yeah, so I haven't blogged in awhile.  Obviously.  I just haven't really felt like it.  If you didn't know (which, I'm assuming at this point that the only people who are reading my blog are people who know me, in which case you have known for about 4 months now), I'm pregnant again!  Yay!  We are super excited!  We are having another girl, which I am EXTREMELY excited about!  Mostly for three reasons: we already have 95% of what we need, Alexa will have a sister, I don't know what to do with boys.  Nick says that he didn't care either way, boy or girl, but I think that secretly he kind of wanted it to be a boy.  Oh well, that's his fault, not mine.  Anyway, my lack of blogging mostly centers around my complete lack of interest in just about anything recently.  Do you know how people have postpartum depression?  Well I have antepartum bitchiness. Seriously. I joke that I've been in a bad mood for about 27 weeks now, but it's the truth.  Just ask Nick.  Or Hayley.  Poor Hayley, I think she's been on the receiving end of a lot of my bitchiness.  Pretty much, at all times I either want to punch someone in the face or crawl into a dark (quiet) hole.  And apparently this is a real thing (well, maybe not the name "antepartum bitchiness", but the concept).  I have talked to my OB about it and he said that there's medicine I can take but I opted out of that option.  It's gradually getting better (hence the blogging) and my Dr. said that in the third trimester it should stay on that general "getting better" track.  Plus, I didn't want my unborn child to be drugged up.  I'm taking one for the team.  Although, it's the people around me who are probably suffering more than I am.  Ha!  Sucks for you!  Which is the main reason why I have also been staying away from people for the past 27 weeks.  I choose to shield you from my bitchiness.  It's not you, it's me. 

Onto the apocalypse.  Last Friday, while we were waiting for the world to end, Alexa and I dropped off Christmas presents to her teachers.  One of her teachers, Ms. Haley, works part time at a sandwich shop so we brought her present to her there.  Well, that is when part of our little world ended.  Ms. Haley told us that she got her old job back at the state (which she left 4 years ago to have her daughter) and that she's going to be leaving the day care.  We are devastated.  Well, mostly I am devastated.  Alexa hasn't been back to school without Ms. Haley and she didn't quite understand why Ms. Haley was giving her extra hugs and kisses (and crying) at the sandwich shop.  It made me cry too, I'm not gonna lie.  Haley has been one of her teachers since Alexa has been in daycare.  She was the person that Lexi formed an attachment to.  Whenever Alexa was having a bad day or not feeling well, they gave her to Ms. Haley, even if she wasn't in her room at the time.  And, not that the other teachers don't care about Alexa, but I feel like Lexi holds a special place in Haley's heart.  She is one of the few people who Lexi will eagerly leave my side to go to.  And last week, Haley told me that the new baby is going to have a lot to live up to because Alexa is perfect.  So, needless to say, we are mourning.  And there is a distinct possibility that we may become Ms. Haley stalkers (I'm already her friend on facebook). 

On a lighter note, I just spellchecked my post so far and the computer doesn't like the word "antepartum".  It's suggested fix is "underparts".  Hehehe.  Also, Alexa has a new way of getting out of her pull up or underwear.  She pulls them down to her ankles and does a forward roll out of them.  It's awesome.  I want to be just like her.
