stop with the looks.

things have been busy! as of monday there will be a 5 yr old running around the house & an eight month old cooking in the belly. aidan is very excited that his baby sister, olivia rose* has been decided as her name, will have the same "birthday" as him. so with the move, getting bigger & getting tired easier, having aidan's energy growing, a man to love & spend time with, plus family friends & work it's been busy!

the move went swimmingly. i couldn't have asked for things to go much quicker or easier for us. seeing as how we didn't pack until the morning of, minus four boxes of dvd's we had to start from scratch the morning of after which being at a concert in the rain the night before & my cold being at it's worst! ha. but things went amazingly. my lil brother & his two friends were great help! brought up my dad's big work truck & with the three of them, my beloved* & uncle gee things got done fast! plus my mom & i made sure boxes were semi organized so the guys just left them in a room & we unloaded. and a week later it's a new big fantastic apartment. of course there are a few boxes in the living room & some small stuff still at the old place but for a pregnant lady & a pair of overnight fellas i think things went as perfect as possible! yay.

this past week has been rough. two huge blows of bad news, training & stress at work, a newbie quitting on us at pretty much last minute & screwing over two of my favorites at work rough isn't an accurate word choice for it but that's what we will go with. so we focus on the good per my mother. our shower for olivia rose* or as aidan wants to call her, his olivia biscuits* in a week, aidan's turning 5 monday morning & we have his big spooky halloween costume beeday party to prepare for on sunday. so we are keeping my busy, but as my beloved* says not too busy i'll take breaks to keep my mind busy. and my mom keeps on sending tidbits of funny little glimpses of info from our shower, it's a surprise so we know nothing!

but my question for this blog is . .why do people feel the need to stare at pregnant woman? i understand some stare or as the woman from chili's today shouts out 'you have the cutest pregnant belly, i just had to tell you i'm so sorry but you look absolutely adorable' but some people stare! that stare of 'oh my gosh (cause they don't use the lords name in vain) this little single girl is pregnant that is just gasp!' first of all. i'm "technically" single yes but i have the most amazing man & 5 yr old here with me to help raise her, my fabulous family/friends & my beloveds* family is always a text/call away for me but no i am not married so what. i am tired of hearing people say 'so you're gonna get married now right' why? the statistics of marriage are so low, not knocking it at all, but it's a fact people do it just to either to do it or do it too fast but feel it really is meant to be. i don't want the big d on my record personally. i feel that if i want to marry someone i don't need to rush, if he's in it for the long haul & we both want the marriage thing then why do we need to run down the alter now we'll still be there in 5 yrs or whatever, am i right? i think so. and i may look young but i am 24 yrs old, yes i am still a baby in certain people's eyes but i have also gone to college, graduated, worked a number of jobs & figured out where i like to work, and have done the out all night/every night thing & i am at a place in my life where i feel i am as ready as i'll ever be to do this. it happened, unplanned but it did & we are ready as a team to do this. so please. stop making those faces of judgement towards pregnant women even if i was a 16 yr old single lady who wasn't ready & completely unsure of the pregnancy you think those looks are going to help any? that 16 yr old could do just as good of a job as anyone else given the right mind set & those looks won't help any.
i guess that is all for the night. aidan will be up at a normal hour & he's gotta get ready for his first big 5th beeday bash he has with his mom this weekend. good night bloggers*
