Issues
Thus far in this pregnancy I've been proud of myself for not being "one of those" hormonal, moody women that jump on their husbands and cry at the slightest little frustration. Well, as evidenced by an episode yesterday morning, I think I've reached that phase. It started with yet another round with the plumbing. This time raw sewage backed up into our shower and nothing in the house was flowing anywhere, so Sunday morning we wake up to discover this and I realize that I won't make it to church. I hadn't slept all night (FYI: sleeping is uncomfortable at this point), Andy was heading to work at 7:00 am and wouldn't get off until afternoon today, and I felt the emotions brewing. As soon as Andy walked out of the bedroom door the dam broke. I couldn't stop crying (I haven't cried for no reason in a very long time!). I needed the sewage out of my shower, I needed some sleep, I needed to be able to go to church and be with my church family, and I needed my husband to snuggle me and let me cry. I couldn't do anything except finish crying, take some Tylenol PM and sleep until noon. That really helped. Anyway, our guy came and snaked the line (again!) and got things moving. I bleached the shower 3 times before I even considered stepping foot in it, and I am thankfully clean this morning. I think there may be roots in our plumbing (BIG problem) so there's that to look forward to.
What else? I got an email from my department chair this morning saying that she needs to meet with me this week because they need to change my assignment (reasearch/teaching) for next semester. I will remind you that they assigned me to be an assistant to my major advisor and I would be able to work from home. I feel some major screwage coming on! I can hear it now--"Ummm...we're gonna need you to teach two new classes and they're on MWF & TR. I hope that's ok. We just really need you and (playing into my ego) we don't trust anyone else." Now, seeing that I almost broke down in tears when I read her message this morning, I really hope that I don't break down in tears in front of my dept. chair. That's really not what we need right now.
Ok, that's it for now. I have a wonderful family, a perfect husband, a big house, and a little buddy on the way--and I'm complaining! If these hormones would just back off for one second! Gosh!
Baby Charlie Update 2005
Soon I will have to change it to "2006", which will freak me out because that means that Feb. 15, 2006 isn't that far away! This Wednesday will be 11 more Wednesdays and counting! Baby Charlie is doing great as far as I can tell. He's moving all the time now, which worries me about future nap times. He likes camping out on my right side and sticking his hands in my ribs. I usually don't mind except when I can't get comfortable when watching my shows, then he's gone too far. Shhh...mommy's watching her "stories"! Andy's getting more & more excited and it's really fun to watch. His favorite way to fall asleep now is cuddled up with his hand on Charlie. He had the best time with our nephews last weekend and I think he longs for the day when he can throw Charlie around and wrestle with him. I'm getting excited about PeeWee football!
I have my biweekly (down to every two weeks now!!) appointment on Wed. at 4:00. Nothing major to report except that I'm having aching and numbness in my hands and arms. I could hardly hold my hair straightener this morning. Now that's a problem! Really, don't panic. It's not a stroke or anything. I'm sure it's fine--I'll keep you posted.
P.S. I'm not proofing this post so give me a break for the mistakes!

Amy! Sounds like I've missed lots of Bowman adventures. I loved the live feed from Cozy Video.. We can't wait to see you in a few days!
I am so sorry Amy for all the plumbing issues. What a nice gift the salers left y'all. I'm praying for your emotions. Hang in there!
Goodness! I hope the plumbing issues get worked out really soon! That stinks! (Literally, I'm sure)
Give yourself some credit. You've only been "hormonal" once during this entire pregnancy? That is pretty dang good.
We hope to see ya'll soon!
Oh ked!
I'm sorry to hear about all of the plumbing problems. That really stinks. I know what you mean about the emotions, except mine have been resulting in anger. I never thought I would be that way, but I get really ticked off some days. It's unfortunate how I'll allow it to get the best of me. I think I really freaked Jason out the first time it happened. He had to leave the room. Bless his heart. I'm praying for your meeting, let us know how it goes. Love you.
Awww, Siser! Want me to hold you?
My Poor Baby!!!! Wish I could just take off ,come up and stay with you to help out. I remember my first pregnancy. Talk about bouts of crying, 1800 miles from home, and only 21 years old. We had a dog and he decided to run into the house when I opened the door. He must have been wallowing in the creek, because he was wet and smelled horribly. There I was screaming at him as he jumped onto all the furniture before I could get him out the door. Our poor upstairs neighbor came rushing down afraid I was in labor or something. I promise you'll look back on all of this and laugh, but for now it seems there will be no end, but I promise there is.
