Henry went to orientation for preschool on Thursday. He is in the afternoon class since the morning class was completely full. The afternoon class seems to have only 7 kids in it, but I think this may be a good thing for Henry. He loves to play with the toys there and it may take some kind persuasion by the teacher or aide to get him into school mode. With less children he won't be lost in the scramble and hopefully he'll get into the school routine more and more as each day passes.
School starts for him on the 9th. I am looking forward to it and he is as well. Irene wants to go so badly! I wish there was a class for two year olds because I would totally send her. Oh well...next year.
I went to the doctor today. It has been 4 weeks since my last appointment since the last time I was there the doctor was out doing a c-section and they couldn't give me a time when she would be back. They wanted to reschedule me for the next week but I asked to wait for two weeks since I could catch a ride up with my mom (my doc is just over an hour away from my town). With my husband still out of work we don't have the money to make multiple trips for no reason.
Thankfully today the doctor was actually there and I got in after about a five minute wait. Of course it was not my doctor I was seeing...they were still having me do the "meet all the doctors" thing that IS NOT something I wanted to do. I chose my doc for a reason. Anyway...I do like this doctor but I want my own. I will get to see my doctor my next visit which makes me happy.
I am measuring at 33 which is great since I am 32 weeks 6 days today. The baby is doing well and his heart rate is good. On my next appointment they want me to have a swine flu vaccine since pregnant women are more at risk of catching it. Plus it is recommended that I get a regular flu shot. Both shots will be given out at the office so at least I will not have to go to the hospital or health department for it. In a way I am a little wary about getting them. The shots themselves don't bother me but I've heard that you can get ill from them. I'm talking ill like a cold or a mini flu. I don't know if this is true, I am going to have to do a little research, but I just don't need to be sick right now on top of everything else going on. Life is pretty stressful right now, I don't need to add to it! I also found out that my c-section is scheduled for just over six weeks from now at 7:15 in the morning. We have to be there at 5:30am. Which means we need to leave our house around 4 am. Of course we have to be up between 2:30 and 3 in order to both get showers. I am glad that it is scheduled early since with Irene it was scheduled for the afternoon and then we were bumped twice. That is a long time to go without eating or drinking. I am hoping that if the financial situation is a little better that we could stay the night at a hotel with my mom and the kids. That gives Mark and I some extra sleep and save my mom the drive up with the kids in the morning. Plus we can take the kids swimming :-) Of course this all depends on the job/money situation but I am hopeful.
My hubby is still out of work. He has been sending in applications and resumes like crazy. There is a trucking company in Traverse City that sent him an application and told him to come in on Monday. He drove up (using money/gas we couldn't afford) only to find no one in the office. He called the office and got the operator but she couldn't tell him when anyone would be back. Thankfully a driver came in and showed Mark the correct office to leave his application at. I was so upset when he told me about this. We could have just mailed the damn thing in. Why did they want him to come up?! AHHHH!!!! Mark called the company on Wednesday and asked to speak with the person in charge of hiring drivers. The person that answered the call asked Mark if he put in an app., he said he had and the phone person rather snottily told Mark that he'd just have to wait for the guy to call him then. Geesh people...try some public relations skills.
On Thursday Mark had a two minute phone interview with another company. They said they had more applications to go through and would get back to him. Once again I am asking for prayers...please let Marky get a job!
I did have more to write but my eyes are hurting so it is time to call it a night.

I'm going to say a little prayer for you tonight that your husband gets a job. I read your comment on my post, and it boggles my mind how you father won't help you. That is hard to forgive. I could never do that to my family.
Bah, humbug...!
Thank you so much Jo. You have no idea how much it means to have you say a prayer for us!
I can't get my head around my father and his actions. I would certainly do what I could for him! This past week has been a difficult one for us and I find myself getting cranky and stressed out. I am hurt and disappointed that he doesn't help. Plus he is with my older brother "up north". We have not been invited all summer nor has my mom. My older brother has barely acknowleded us at all during this time.
I keep telling myself to let it go. I cannot change them and all it is doing is making me sullen. So I ask God to help me let it go and I try to enjoy the time with my Husband, kids, and my mom. In fact last night was a pretty darn good time just watching movies with them all...lots of laughter! Then I read your post and it just reinforced the need to forgive in order for me to be a better person and a nicer wife and mother.
I thank you for your kind prayer and thoughtful words and for your post.
