My belly, the dog, and my job
Today has been a rough day. I mean, not a terrible day, just a....blah day.
Work was SO boring today. I think I did about a half hour worth of work, and spent the rest of the day answering stupid questions for taxpayers that just can't seem to understand the way the market fluctuates. People are always calling in because their assessed value of home and land increased. Well, if you bought your home 20 friggin' years ago, the taxes are gonna be higher now than what they were when you bought it! And, if you build a new home, then yes, you'll be taxed for it. It's not a hard concept. Geez.
The stupid ass dog apparantly got loose AGAIN. Grandma was home, and the next across the street helped her get the dog back in the back yard. I bought a dog tie-out stake rated for dogs over 100 lbs, and she pulled it OUT of the GROUND! I cannot stand that dog. I'm so ready to get rid of her.
My belly. Oh how it grows. I'm not all that large yet, but too large for my normal pants. However, I'm not large enough for maternity tops. I put them on and feel like I'm trying to show off or something because maternity tops are made for *baby* bellies. Mine is not yet in that category. It's depressing. Normal shirts make me look huge, maternity make me look tiny. I can't win. In a month, those tops will be great though, so that's a plus.
Names. I spent alot of today going thru baby names. I picked two girl names and two boy names. See, lots of people think I'm having twins. They run in the family and I lost twins before I got pregnant with Isaiah. So, I'm entertaining the idea, to say the least. Here are the names I've picked out, which sweetie will probably hate:
Girls: Hannah Danyelle, and call her Dani; and Heather Charlotte, and call her Charli.
Boys: James Benjamin, and call him Jamie; and Joshua Simon, and call him Josh.
I'm not real stuck on the boys' names because I really want girls. I love the nicknames for the girls, but I would probably end up calling them Hannah and Charli. Who knows. Hannah is a must, but the others are all negotiable.
I changed my first doctors appointment. I did have it scheduled with a great doctor in a neighboring town. However, the VA hospital scheduled a bunch appointments for sweetie on the same day that can't be changed. So, rather than wait til the middle of May to see the same doc, I switched all together. So, my first appointment is May 8th at 8:45am. Hopefully we'll get a sonogram that day to make sure the baby is good, check my dates, and check for twins. I'll let you know how that goes.

I like the idea of "male" nicknames on girls. The whole reason my daughter is Alexandra is so that I could call her Alex. I named my first one Samantha for the same reason, so I could call her Sam.
Charlotte is a darling name. There was a show on back in the late 80's early 90's called "Sisters" The characters were Teddie (Teadora), Charlie (Charlotte), Frankie (Francheska)and Alex (Alexandra).
