Holy Earthquake!

HOLY EARTHQUAKE BATMAN!

We totally just had an earthquake. An earthquake in Virginia? Seriously?

The news said the epicenter was in Mineral, VA which is not far and the magnitude was 5.8. Crazy!

Alex moves in

Today Alex moved in. His parent have been so ridiculous about him coming over every weekend to see me so they asked him to leave. He willingly left of course because he didn't really want to be there anyways. They were basically trying to make him choose me or them.

I went with him to get his stuff and his Mom had apparently taken a day off from work so she could confront him when he came. I guess she wasn't expecting me to be there because she came running out of the house, yelling at me and then threw his pills at me. She basically implied that he couldn't make it without them because he's bi-polar. They asked him to leave and then rip me a new one.

Now he's with me and it's so new. I was so used to seeing him every weekend and now I get to see him every day. I guess it works out since I'm pregnant and we wanted to get married in the fall.

On a happier note my doctor's office called and said my blood work looked fine from my First Trimester Screen so my risk for having a baby with Down Syndrome is low.

First Trimester Screen

Today I had my First Trimester Screen for Down Syndrome. It wasn't too bad. I waited in a waiting room for what seemed to be forever and then was called back by the rudest ultrasound tech ever! She acted like she hated her job and didn't seem to even care about what she was doing. The printout she gave us of the baby was so horrible it didn't even look like a baby. It looked more like an acorn sitting on a rock. I was so disappointed. After the ultrasound I went to the lab and had some blood drawn so they could check all of my levels out. I'll find out in a couple of weeks the result but everything seemed to look good.
