Medical treatment for my Ass

My parents are in flight out to see my mother's mom and dad out in Springhill FL.
last week I wrote a letter to my GramB an she wrote back email saying that Papa Joe was in the hospital. He's 86 years old, deaf, and had been having a very difficult time getting around. It seemed that his foot was causing him so much pain, and was swollen that he couldn't even walk. So after being evaluated for three days and bringing in a specialist from Tampa for his foot, the diagnosis was that PapaJoe had the Gout! I was so worried about them, GramB has always done everything to manage the home but now Papa Joe has the gout and she's having to care for him as well.
Yesterday, my mom and dad called to say that they were leaving for Florida to help out. It turns out that after three more days of being in the hospital, the idiot Doctors out there had misdiagnoised Papa Joe's ailment. He doesn't have the Gout, His FOOT IS FRACTURED!
How does a 'specialist' misdiagnoise a fracture for the gout? It's absolutely absurd!!! when someone is as old as my grandfather, broken bones are ailments that occur regularly. granted Papa Joe couldn't remember doing any specific act that suddenly caused him the pain, but that's not a rare thing either. The Man is 86 years old. His tall, lean frame has shrunk by at least 4 inches from when he was in his prime. He doesn't hear things well. and now he's getting the crummiest medical treatment that I have ever imagined.
At least my mom and dad will be out there. Mom was wanting me to go instead of her, I don't know what that was about. I've got my doctors appointment tomorrow and have heard that women in the last trimester shouldn't travel. I 'm just glad that she buckled down and decided to fill her role as daughter to her parents. Dont get me wrong, I totally would have gone to help out with Papa Joe and Gram B but I know that it's something that mom shouldn't push off onto her kids to take care of. I think she might have been scared to deal with her parents being so weak. Mom has Multiple sclerosis and some days are better than others, and the way Dad was sounding, He's ready to haul them off to a nursing home....I just pray the whole thing goes ok and that Papa Joe's foot heals easily.

Robyn & Jamie!!!! 

who is Batman

Everyone get excited I'm about to reveal to you who Batman is! since I have a hard time keeping secrets and it's difficult for me to be honest in my writing by keeping his name a secret I will have to break the mystery and refer to my significant other by his real name , Jamie.
There, you now know and I don't have to worry about remebering to change it to Batman anymore. There was no reason to hide Jamie from you all, just I liked calling us by our nicknames of, ' Batman and robyn'. When jamie and I were first introduced by a mutual friend three and a half years ago, she gave Jamie a Batman ring that he wore and something about him being Batman and my name being robyn... well , we just had to pair up. He doesn't wear the ring anymore but it has a place in our bathroom hanging around the neck of the liquid soap dispenser.

Dreaming

last night I drempt that I saw Johnny depp in concert with Barbara striesand. He ran off stage before I was able to meet him, then I was grocery shopping and the Deli was giving out samples. When I looked to see what they had in the front case, I was appalled to see what looked like a roast turkey but instead of a turkey, the bird was an ostrich. Roasted with the head still on.

Profile

Well you know how my profile says that I've changed and feel more like myself and all that BS
I'm realizing that yes, I have changed but now it seems more like a crummy physical change.
My stomach is huge and I still have 10 more weeks to go. This baby is changing me into a lazy, cranky , bitchy, weepy, emotional, sloth.
I can't even move around well. My back isn't long enoughto grow a baby off the front side. I hope that tonight I might actually pop open in my sleep.
I cant wait to give birth. This kid will be coming early if I have anything to say about it. It could come now and I would feel so happy and relieved. I just want to be able to breath again.
Everything inside me is cramped and I'm scared to death how big this baby will get. Daddy and I were both 9lb.'ers so I imagine Avery will be too.
I did read somewerer that Doctors will induce labor if they feel the baby is too big.....but what is too big? By their standards, Its perfectly normal to squeeze out a 9lb baby. Unfortunately Avery is only (approx) 3lbs right now. I just cant believe I'm going to have to grow enough space to triple the weight she is already. It's going to kill me, or else give me so much inspiration to unload myself when the time comes to push.

the following pictures cracked me up today. I was messing around looking at birthing stories today on line and realized that the ones with animals were easier to deal with. not to mention it's sooooo funny to look at pregnant bats flying. thought yall might enjoy too

A New NAme

I figured the first name for my baby. It just fluttered into my brain, more of like a sound then a vision and the name was Avery. I looked up the meaning and fell in love. Avery: having the wisdom of the Elves. Isn't that a sweet blessing to give someone.
Her Daddy called me this morning (He's working out in Louisiana this week) but he had an idea for the middle, which had just been stumping us.
I had been trying to use all the Vowels A, E, I, O, U, or at least use them phonetically in the name choosing. Avery, (depending on dialects) uses the sounds of A,E,and long I, so I want the middle to complete with O, AND U
but just couldn't think of anything that I like,
Anyway, Batman called this morning and said he like the name, Juliette : soft haired.... I love it too.
Avery Juliette

a new name

LOOK@MYPICTURES//OOOOOHHH&AAAAAHHH!

The following are pictures that I finally recived from my little sisters boyfriend via the computer. They are from last weekend, when my family got to use my lil bro's limo while he went to prom( see the post "Prom").

The pictures of the Cat are just for fun. I thought i would post Jarobie since his Daddy is out of town again. He was stolen/rescued as a young kitty from a very bad drug users home. The drug user never even missed the cat after he was missing for awhile. Go figure. Anyway, this did leave Batman with a cat that had some really bad habits. To this day, Jarobie fiends for little plastic baggies. he will lick at anything that is plastic untill it is lodged in his throat. It's really quite sad. I dont know if he thinks he's getting cocaine or if it's just the crinkling sound the plastic makes. but jarobie just cant kick the habit.

I'm getting advise from a seventh grader. This young wizard of the web is trying to show me how to make links on my blog. We didn't have the web when I was her age. I have not needed to use computers in my line of work. This blogger is about to quit. I just need to understand how to create links.
This Chloe girl is pretty awesome but is also embarrassing. She's sooooo smart. She's probably going to become some rocket scientist or brain surgeon when she's older. Maybe I'll name my baby after her (she does have a lovely name) I'll consider but only after I figure out this link upset.
I will get it soon. Just be patient and I'll have so many links for you all. You'll regret and never come and visit me any more ;]
one question though, Is it more polite to request posting someone's link before hand, or would some take offense? Just curious.

Revolution

Ok , well here I sit again. And I have been thinking, you know this issue with my dad (check out My Dad's a time bomb) I understand that my life is changing. That soon it wont be me and Batman. But once the baby is born, everything shifts and is new all over again. It's exciting and scary. I've already mourned the death/ end of 'Batman and robyn'.
I don't want that to change but it is... We're gonna have 'a baby and us'...
Never again 'Just us two'... It's really emotional or maybe I"m just making it bigger then necessary.
Anyway, back to what I was saying about my dad. I realized that this baby is changing the world already. Not only is this child changing every aspect of my life, but she is also changing my dad's life. I discovered that dad is going to evolve from "Dad" to "Grand-daddy". I mean, he's already been so sweet and more affectionate towards me then I've ever known him to be. He's turning to be mushy and it's all because of this baby. I never knew him to be so sentimental and teary eyed...It's one thing to become/have a "Dad" But it's so much more awesome to have a "GRAND-dad". I think this baby is amazing. It's turning my dad into a softy. ;]

Hey,I'm taking sugestions
who wants to name my baby girl?

Thank you all for your comments

Prom

What a crazy weekend. It was my little brother Roman's prom and my parents decided it would be fun to host an "after prom party". After 8 of my brother's friends and their dates got taken off to prom, all the parents of the kids got to use the stretch Hummer (white) and drive up to Dallas to eat dinner at the Reunion Tower Ball. It's a super fancy revolving floor that gives a 360degree view of downtown Dallas.
Batman got home from working in La. the previous night so we got to have a fancy date for this weekend while he's home. It was so much fun getting to be treated to a Limmo ride except that while on the drive to dinner, someone slipped a fart in the Hummer... It stunk so bad. nothing like a fart to ruin a perfectly nice limmo ride. Anyway, my sister and her boyfriend kept laughing and blaming it on me, the pregnant woman, so I took all responsibility for the awful stench. It wasnt me but I figured I would save the poor soul of whoever did let it fly. I'm sure that they privately were grateful not to have to fess up and that they were happy to use me as their scape goat.
At dinner, we had our choice of sir loin steak (20 oz.) or BBQ chickenbreast. Of course batman had his "bloody as hell" . They brought out a steak that could have given us a ride back home. It was so rare and pink, (I did have a bite and it was some of the tastiest meat ever). Just a little scared of Mad cow disease now. I had the chicken and was greatly disappointed but the asparagus was good. Didn't have time to be served dessert, so we had it boxed up and sent home with us. The limmo driver needed to get us home and back to the school to pick up the prom goers; so we had to rush.
When the kids got brought back to the Compound (parents house), it was almost 1am already, Batman was in charge of the bon fire which had been started to roast dogs and smores on. All the kids got out of the limmo and the guys all looked so cool in their matching tuxedos. Roman looked Hot! My big "Man" and he had won a min- fridge at the auction at the end of prom. His girlfriend Lauren, (3years) had the prettiest dress out of all the girls and her shoes were clear heals that had fancy led lights that lit up when she walked. It looked really neat.
The boys all had matching swim trunks and the girls reluctantly ruined their hairstyle by getting into the pool and having a good round of Cannonball contests. Romans big ass always does the best. Go Bro!!!!
It was nearly 4am and the kids were doing slip'n' slide on three giant tarps and garden hose with Palmolive dish soap out in the front yard. It was so hilarious to see the girls trying to slide as far as the boys. Think they were a little too reserve on their take off.
It's so hard to realize that my little brother is already a senior and about to go off to school. I still look at him and think that he's only my 3year old, pacifier sucking brother. Still has those chubby cheek's. But now he's so grown up. the kids this weekend were having a good time but they still seemed to me to be young kids. guess I'm alot older than I think I am.
I was worn out and finally had to leave. the party continued into the next morning which was mother's day. unfortunately our mom had to wait because all the family just slept on Sunday. She was pooped too and didn't mind.
This weekend will always be a great memory for our family. Not too often that we have that much social organization goin on at the compound.

She loves my baby bro

BrightersideOthings

I know how irritating it is to read how miserable all of us bloggers are( I sure do read a lot of complaining out there) and I told myself that I would do my best to not make my blog all about negatives. My blog is different for many reasons, mostly that its written by myself, but also that I want to put a glow to my review of things. there's enough dirt on the earth, I don't need to be making more. So to help balance out my Prego complaints earlier, I'm going to list some positives from today:

1) got spots removed from shirts in Laundry
2) got to have dinner with an old Friend Kim tonight
3) My sweetheart is coming home tomorrow
4) I have a fantastically good guy that loves me, and is super good looking
5) My cat Simone didn't throw up today
6) I got the kitchen floor swept today, even though it's already messed with Cat food
7) I'm more than halfway through this pregnancy
8)I got to watch Phantom of theOpera and it's excellent
9) Remembered to take my prenatal vitamins
10)I'm writing positives on my blog

Well, I 'm going to have to stop at ten for tonight. Maybe I'll have a flood of goodness to share tomorrow. For now that's going to be it.

prego complaints

No one ever told me that being pregnant was so uncomfortable. Yeah your body changes but who ever talks about the nose bleeds and hemorrhoids. All you hear is the stretchmark and back ache part of things. Its actually pretty freaky the things that my poor body is doing right now and I still have three more months to go. I had a twinge of siatica yesterday. What a crazy feeling. Mild discomfort in my butt, running down the inside of my right knee, and causing the most pestering pain in my heel. It just came out of nowhere. It got so bad, my right outer lip started going all "pins and needles" and there's no relief for it. Finally it went away but it still doesn't feel like all the pressure is off that nerve. My groin hurts. How ridiculous is that. Why don't they tell the young girls this stuff, we know labor and delivery are painful, maybe if they knew how bad it felt just being 6 months along, it would deter them from making babies.
I hope your happy baby, your'e causing your mom so much distress already and you havent even seen the light,... yeah, I felt that kick you just gave me ,bigfoot. sorry it's so cramped for now, actually with the rate at wich your growing, it's only going to get worse. I still cant wait to see you. however i think i'll be happier to not be pregnant anymore. It's not just a pain in my butt, it's actually everything.

Bat Baby

What a Day! It couldn't have gone better ( of course it would have been great to share it with my sweetie) I saw the Doctor today. No pap smear, no blood work, just listening for the baby's heart. It sounded like she was doing laundry in there, suwooooshisuwooooshisuwoooooshisuwoooooshi... It was fantastic and fast! I cant wait to see her after she's born. God what a day that will be. and I know that it's going to be here sooner then I can imagine.
This whole pregnancy is like a dream. It's definitely an outer body experience, I don't feel like this is my body anymore. It's been taken over by this little person that just wants to move in and rearrange my insides. What is her personality going to be? Does she have one yet or is that something that begins after birth when she starts to learn that fussing gets her food and attention? I think right now she's just swimming without a care in the world, warm and content.

What a tragedy to bring something into this world. A world full of uncertainty and pain. But also a world full of opportunity to feel, smell, taste, hear and see. I guess that can be the upside of things. She's going to bring so much joy to her mom and dad, she's probably going to break our hearts too......I love you sweet babyxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

sleep deprived?

My eyes are gonna fall outa my head, there is stinging on the backside of my lids, my optical nerve has been feeling tense, thank god I don't get headaches!
my head needs to roll off the back of my neck. I've been holding it on for way too long. Actually just need some sleep. but it's only late afternoon and not yet dark.
I miss my Sweet man. He called this noon and said he would call again tonight. I love him so very much. This morning when we said goodbye, He felt so good in my arms. Why must we always want what we cannot have? If he were here now, I would be complaining that he smells. ----even now, I'm missing his stench. I Bet it's good and nasty after a days work outdoors. He smells like dirt and saw dust and lumber, and very mild armpit that drives me crazy! I need to collect that and put it in a bottle......Oh, I bet he really stinks today! I just remembered that he forgot to pack his deodorant for the trip. My poor stinky man, needs a shower and this sleep deprived mama needs a rest, think I'll take a disco nap.

robyn without Batman

What am I going to do with myself?! my sweetheart left me all alone for a whole week!!!
we haven't been apart like this in almost a year. I hope his trip goes well. His work took him out of state and I don't know when he's coming back. Maybe Saturday and the worst of it all is that I have absolutely no way of contacting him. This stinks so bad!!!! I just pray that he doesn't hurt himself and that he's safe and good and thinking of me (and our baby on the way), and that he comes home and is happy and gets to rest and all the good 'lovey' stuff that he's so good at.
He's only been gone like two hours and I miss him. This is going to be a long week for me. probably will get a lot of writing done. God knows I should have gone back to bed and gotten a couple more hours, I've got a lot of crap to take care of today. maybe I'll cancel my appointment this morning so I have more time to solve my stupid change of address problem with the idiots up at the freakin healthcare office. my doctors appointment is tomorrow afternoon and I don't want to have to cancel it because Jo Ann Turner is a Moron and didn't receive my change of address even though they sent my denial form to the correct home. How idiotic can you be?
oh, well, there's really no sense in getting bent out of shape. just wish my honey were here to take care of me and love me and tell me that my growing tummy is special. wish he would be home to go with me to see the doctor. guess I'm going to have to tough this one out by myself if I even get to go. Stupid healthcoverage
yeah, today is starting out to be not my favorite, don't know if I should eat some breakfast or climb back into bed
