Yup..its that time folks. Latest pictures of Brianna. You know I have to show her off!!
Well....this morning at 10:45 am, Jenn had Brianna and its been a happy happy happy day! I can beginnnn to tell you how happy and excited and relieved I am. She is sooooo adorable and shes got the family nose!
Poor thing.
She weighs 8 lbs, 8 oz and 19 inches long.
Meet Brianna!
The Mom!
Its been about 2 months since we have been able to speak with Miles. We have received 2 letters just in the last 2 weeks and haven't been able to go see him while they were holding him in Orlando. It hasn't been all that fun and you can just imagine the stress my mom has been going through. I mean, no matter what, he will always be her baby and she will always worry.
But he has finally called today and considering, he is doing alright. It was just a relief to hear that. I'm not sure what has gone on between him and Jenn but it must not have been good. First thing he said to us was he doesn't want to talk about her, he doesn't want to see her, etc. Hmm..do I hear Drama playing in the air?? Only thing he says is he hopes she will let us bring his daughter to see him when she gets a bit older. Hard to say whats going to happen there. We don't even know whats going to happen with us either!
The earliest he is looking to get out is sometime in April 2010., latest Sept of the same year. Seems like such a long time but in reality, it isn't and he got lucky once again. They wanted to give him 4 yrs. The only good thing about the whole thing is, when he gets out, he has no probation. We shall see what happens then -sighs-
Speaking of Jen....I guess she went into false labor this past Sat. We didn't hear about it till late Sunday night. She's due any day now so theres excitement in the air...I sooooo Can't wait.
Jobs going good. I am still there so that is something LOL It can be stressful somedays and so many changes every day...so many, makes my head reel pretty fast sometimes. With the way the economy is going, all these changes are going into effect and the pressure can be hard some days. Butttttt...you got to do what you got to do right??
But thats the latest news. Hopefully next time I will have pictures of Brianna Maria to show off (if she hasn't changed her mind again!)
As I sit here this morning with my morning cup of the occasional coffee, I watch the clock for 8 am so I can call the doctors and make a appointment. A appointment I am not looking forward too because if it turns out to be what I suspect (pneumonia) I will be admitted in the hospital till it clears up. I had a chest cold about 3 weeks back and haven't been able to shake off a cough that stemmed from that and for the past 3 days, I have been feeling pretty bad.
Last night/this morning was spent coughing my brains out which has left me feeling pretty weak and exhausted. For the second time this week, I have no choice but to call off work and get this taken care of. Pneumonia is nothing to play around with and I need to get it checked out. Last time I had it, I was admitted in the hospital for 5 days. Joy! Thank goodness I have medical insurance this time because just for the medication I had to take left a huge void in my pocket book! $175 bucks for 5 tiny pills! Then of course the hospital fees and etc and this all came during a time that my financial situation was not all that great. But what can you do? If your sick, your sick and if you want to be well, you got to take care of it.
A co-worker of mine at a previous job came down with pneumonia. She had had it for a few days and finally was so sick, her husband took her to the ER. She never came home. She passed away less then 24 hrs later. Scary stuff I tell ya.
As you probably have noticed, I haven't been blogging all that much. Its not that I haven't had much to blog about, its just that what I do have to blog about hasn't been all that good and I've kept putting it off. My brother, once again has found himself in the hot seat. Meaning, he was doing so good for a little over a year since he came home from prison and I actually thought there was some hope for him. He met a girl, fell in love....stayed out of trouble and is even expecting his first child here in a few months. I was so proud of him...even surprised he managed to stay out of trouble for as long as he did. I actually only gave him less then 2 months!
But yes. He did another stupid thing. One night of booze and hanging around with people he shouldn't have has made him make the wrong decison and he is now sitting in a Orlando jail, awaiting for a bed to open in one of our Florida prisons to finish out the 3 years of remaining time he had for probation. The state wanted to give him 4 years. The full 4 years they were wanting to give him the first time but the judge gave him some slack. So instead of taking it and running with it and being grateful, he screws up again and wasn't so lucky. They did cut him a bit of slack again this time. The judge did give him the credit for the year probation he did and if we heard right, the year he did in county and prison time he did. If thats the case, then he should be out in 2010 sometime.
I have mixed feelings about all of this. I hurt because he IS my baby brother and I hate the choices he has made for his life. He was not brought up to be like this. I feel bad for my mom because she is always wondering where she has gone wrong. Did she love him to much? Did she spoil him to much? Was a loving home not good enough? I can only imagine what thoughts go through her mind every day when she faces the day ahead of her. She is a mom...regardless, he will always be her baby. I think she finally realizes, this is his life, his choices and its time she let him go and live his life the way he wants. Of course, she doesn't have to like it, but she needs to accept it.
What really sucks though is the fact, here he is, ready to be a father and where is he? Jenn is left behind to handle this on her own. A child herself having a child and he has put her in this situation. But what is done is done and we have no choice but to move forward and take care of things. Rather Miles is there or not, that child will not go without. Jenn will have the support and the help that she needs and she knows we are here for her. She has moved back home with her mom which was a smart thing to do. With her being as young as she is, she needs her mom. In the meantime, everyone has been pulling together and doing what needs to be done. Our house is beginning to look like baby central here and I can't help but feel giddy. In less then 2 months, we will have a bundle of joy in our arms and it won't be soon enough!
Like Exer's latest blog post, changes are going to be happening as well. Along with his changes, will be changes for me. Neither one of us is all that happy but we will manage like we always do. Just that we both know, the changes that are likely going to happen is not going to be much fun. We have been spoiled way to long and its like 2 people being dragged along with both of us resisting and both losing. I have a image in our heads of being pulled along, our feet dragging in the dirt and both of us shouting NO! LOL. But I also know, we won't let it keep us down long and we will adapt to the new changes and carry on -nods-
Once again we started heading to the beach at Daytona Beach. We actually went for the first time last weekend, but we forgot the camera and I really didn't take a lot today. Makes me very nervous to have a camera around water. But here are a few to enjoy. Was a very beautiful, hot day but the damn water was freezing! LOL
Here's a very short video of Jenn and Miles walking to the water. She has started waddling now and welllll, I happen to think it is too cute haha
Tonight the family went to our favorite Chinese Rest. to have dinner. Jen isn't much on Chinese food but they had fruit and desserts which she does like so she was still willing to go. All went as it normally does and finally we were all sitting down to eat. Jenn looks over to Miles plate and she about gags.
"Are you really going to eat that Miles?" Jenn asks.
"Mhmm....You know I will try anything once."
He picks it up by 2 legs and waves it at Jenn. "Want to try with me?"
Jenn looks like she is about to get sick. "It would be like eating our baby!" she practically shouts
"Oh don't be so over dramatic" he says, rolling his eyes.
Mom and I are just sitting there with a disgusted look on our faces.
"How do you eat it? he asks.
"Go and ask someone" I say to him and he grabs a waitress as she walks by and with broken English, she says just eat it.
We put our forks down and all eyes are on Miles. We watch him tear off the head and takes a small nibble. Takes another and then another and sits it on the plate. "The taste isn't bad, but its like chewing leather" and that was the end of that. Jenn opens a napkin and tells him to put it in so she doesn't have to look at it.
All was quiet for a few minutes as we ate.
"I hope you know you won't be kissing me anytime today you baby octopus eater!" Jenn states.
We all bust out laughing.....Good times for sure LOL
Run for the hills Nik! Don't drink the water! For the love of God....don't drink the water!!!
