So, the baby is now six short weeks old.. I am perpetually tired, even though dh and I try and trade off nights.. that said!!!!

A job that he is supposed to be at til 2:30ish daily, he doesnt usually leave til about 4pmish.. then there are the days that he has had to work til 8pmish.. (there have been 4 of those!!)

So we have the skids up this weekend.. and sd10 proceeds to tell me how her bm bought my unborn baby socks, onsies and a camouflage diaper bag (because its masculine). How she is also making the baby a blanket. Now.. for those that do not know the relationship here.. let me give you a brief back story.. This woman has assaulted me physically and chewed me out no less thatn 3 times verbally w/o provocation over the past 3 years. She has told me that I do not exist and am a nobody nothing to her and her family. She has also called me several names which are not ok to write here..

So My bday was on 1/14 and my surprise baby shower was on 1/18. I live in the Boston area.. soooo..

My bday DH took me out to dinner and got me 2 cards (1 from him, and one from the baby.. very sweet) and his mom sent me a gift card to Barnes and Nobles.. My mom told me we would celebrate my bday on Sunday the 18th in conjunction w/my dad's bday. Sounded good.

Ok.. so as you all know, I am pregnant. I am now in my 24th week, and will be 25 weeks this coming Sunday. That said, we still have not told the skids. I have successfully managed to hide the stomach under over-sized and baggy clothing.

For those that forgot why we hadn't told them yet, I was afraid their bm would ruin the holidays if she knew sooner. (let face it.. she lost it over me getting a new car w/my salary.. I can only imagine what this will do to her)..
