December 22, 1999

Hello everyone!

Well, I am among the living again, I have finally gotten out of bed and I can breath and function like a normal person, well, as normal as I am anyhow. LOL.

I went to the doctor Monday the 20th and heard the heartbeat. The doctor said everything looks fine which makes me happy. I am feeling better about being pregnant. All my fears are not gone but getting there. My morning sickness is almost gone. I am eating more these days; before I wasn't eating much.

Dakota stood up in his crib today for the first time and I cried. I guess I am hormonal. It is amazing to see how much he has changed in the past 7 1/2 months. He will be 8 months January 5. My goodness time is flying by. Everyone is right when they say it goes by fast.

Well, Adam called my sister and talked with her about the incident that happened to cause the huge fight last summer. I think I told you when she called my house yelling in the phone and he called her a phsyco b***h. She refused to see us and stuff and I was missing her badly -- why, I don't know. She is mean, but like I said before, she is my sister. Well, anyhow, Adam was the bigger person and called her and told her it was silly and he was sorry and she said she was sorry, too, and now she said she will see us at my dad's and my mom's for Christmas. I am happy to have her back but I am not going to take it if she goes off on me again. My step-mother tells me I let her walk all over me and go back for more all the time. I think I just want my sister the way she was when I had my son. I mean, she really acted like she loved me and I loved that. We shall see what happens. But again, if one mean thing comes out of her mouth that is not called for then I will not let her do that to me.

Anyhow, enough of that.

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday wherever you are!!!!! It is my first Christmas with my little boy and I am going to cherish every minute!

Hugs to all of you!!!!

Monique
