4 weeks 6 days to go!

From the title of this blog I am sure you all can guess that I am starting the countdown! I am soooo ready to have this baby! It has been hot and miserable for the last few weeks and I am growing more uncomfortable by the day. On the plus side of things, it seems that Eric is starting to accept things a little bit more and he is doing exceptionally well with me. He is still struggling with growing up a little bit, but I think that once Joshua is born he will man up and be there for us. I am grateful now more then ever for my mom and dad, who have been supporting me since I quit my job in december and haven't been able to find one.
Things around here a little stressful lately, Tiel and her husband and the kids just moved back in and at times I feel like I am being taken advantage of when it comes to watching thier children, sometimes it seems like they expect me to instead of asking. It is getting a little bit better tho.
Well I don't really know what else to say right now, but here is an update for you all. Love you!

it's been awhile,

I know I know I haven't posted a blog in a long time, just been unsure what to say, nothing new really. I a still not working, still pregnant (lol) ready for it to be OVER! I did finally get on medicaid and food stamps so that will be helpful. Other then that I have just been hanging out with friends and working on the house, or sleeping lol. Sorry I don't really have much else to say. I will post more when I have a clear head! Love you all!

Name!

So this is gonna be short and sweet because I am kind of rushing so I will try and post more later but we have FINALLY decided on a name! Joshua David Jansma! I am very excited because it's I picked it out hehehe, but Eric really liked it too. So for now that is all you get I will write more soon, promise! Love you all!

One for my cousin

I want to use this blog to express my gratitude for a wonderful woman in my life...my cousin Nan.

As you all know I am pregnant and have been having some issues trying to decide what to do with my life lately. One woman who has been there for me through this whole process has been Nan, she has been there for me as a huge support and I can't even come close to expressing how much it means to me to have her there as a voice of experience.

Unfortunately due to difference in age and locations our whole life, I never got the chance to establish a real relationship with my Glover cousins which I have always wished to have, but over the last few months my relationship with Nan has grown and become wonderful, I know I can call on her for any need I may have and she has become a close friend and confidant.

When I first found out I was pregnant, I was unsure of what I wanted to do with my baby, I had all sorts of questions running through my mind. Should Eric and I get married? Should I try and single parent? Should I give my baby up for adoption? While I was struggling with all of these should's, my mom suggested that I call up my cousin Nan, who placed a baby when she was 19, I called her and ever since she has been a wonderful resource for me. She has never once told me what I should or shouldn't do, just there to listen and give her opinion when asked.

So Nan, this one is for you. You have been so wonderful to me through this most difficult time in my life, and I am grateful for the opportunity to develop a relationship, and bond with you. Thank you for being a wonderful support network, I look forward to continuing to build a relationship with you. I love you.

In another topic, HAPPY MOTHERS DAY! To all the wonderful moms in my life! I love you all!

I'm back

So after many weeks of blog sloth, and writers block, I figured it was probably time for an update.
I had an ultrasound a couple of weeks ago and found out I am having a little boy, and I am due September 17th. I am really starting to feel him moving around in there and at first it was a little bit weird, now it's kind of cool, unless I am trying to sleep of course.
Lately Eric has started manning up a little bit more and being more involved with the whole pregnancy process. He's also been acting more like a boyfriend then a friend lately too (although we are still not together, I can see things moving in that direction eventually.) Another thing about him is that he has been super attentive recently, he calls me almost every day to see how I am doing and ask if I need anything, he comes by a couple times a week to just chill and hang out, all in all things are progressing really well with him and I am genuinely happy right now. I am not 100% ready to be dating him again, but as long as he continues down the path he's on, I can see it happening in the not too distant future!
In other news I am still struggling to find a job, the economy blows right now and it's really showing. I am so frustrated with just sitting at home all the time, I need to be able to get out there and blow off some steam soon!
Well that is really all I have to say for now
Sara D.

Changes...

Okay so I know that my earlier blog I said some pretty angry things about Eric, and that was how I was feeling at the moment, I really don't hate him (at least not all the time lol). We met up tonight and talked a little bit about how I am doing, he really seems to actually genuinely care about my well being (most of the time), I know that I have to be patient with him, and that he will come around eventually, but sometimes it's just so frustrating to be pregnant and hormonal, and dealing with him being hormonal and crazy, if that makes sense to anyone. He is a very nice guy when he wants to be, but he is a 22 year old guy, who doesn't know what he wants from life let alone, what he should do for a child's well being. I am at the stage of my pregnancy were you can feel the little appendages of the baby inside me, so while we were hanging out I put Eric's hand on my stomach and pushed his fingers in so he could feel it, he kinda grinned and then started rubbing my belly, it was pretty cute. I don't really know what to think about him somedays...he's wonderful and attentive and caring, others... the boy drives me bonkers! I think that taking a break here and there though is really what we both need, so neither one of us is driving the other insane. In other news Tiel is due anytime now and we are all so excited for this new addition, Bridget Janae. It's just so hard to believe that Annicka isn't going to be the "baby" anymore, but she seems to be adapting pretty well already, she walks around the house saying "Bidget, Bidget" it's so cute, and if you ask her where Bridget is, she'll walk over to Tiel and lift her shirt up and kiss her belly, it's so sweet. Annicka has such a wonderful little personality I have never met a 2 year old with so much spunk! She is really a blessing and I adore all the time I get to spend with her. Well that is really all I have to say for now, will post more soon.
Lot's of Love,
Sara D.

Just an update.

So I haven't posted for a few days, so here is an update. I haven't really been doing anything lately, just kinda chillin at home. They Dr has scheduled me an ultrasound for April 8th at 10 in the morning, I should be able to find out what it is! It's pretty exciting, I just wish I could get Eric excited about the little things like I am. I had an appointment last week and got to hear the heartbeat for the first time, I cried it was beautiful, but I was also crying because I so badly wanted Eric there to hear that for the first time and he just doesn't seem to care. I don't know what to do with him anymore. I haven't really been spending that much time with him lately, we used to talk and see each other everyday, because I would call him everyday, I quit calling him, now if he wants to talk he calls me, and that is that. I am done chasing him around like a little puppy dog, if he wants to be part of my life he can get in touch with me. I haven't called him in about 3 weeks, he calls me every other day, or every 2 days, and he comes over maybe once a week. I really could care less at this point in time I have other more important things to worry about. Well that is really all I have for now I will post more soon. Love you all!
Sara

Being random

So I can't sleep, this is becoming quite a regular occurrence and frankly it's driving me nutso. I have always had a touch of insomnia since I can remember and before I got pregnant I took sleep aids so that I could drift off into a wonderful dreamless sleep, now not so much, even Tylenol pm doesn't really do anything but make me lethargic and grumpy lol.
Speaking of dreams, since I got pregnant my dreams have been so frickin weird, I mean we're talking dinosaurs and random adventures with the kids from Harry Potter and Twilight, like crazy weird. I wake up almost every morning thinking "what the heck was that?".
There is a lot going on in my life right now and I am really trying to asses the situation from all angles, I don't know what I want to do right now and it's driving me crazy, and on top of it all Eric is being completely useless right now, the boy is so freaking immature that I can't even stand it. I want to kill him some days, then there are the other days when he calls me up after he gets off work just to tell me he was thinking about me all day, talk about super confusion. I don't know what he want's and until he can figure it out I told him to back off. I care about him deeply and want us to work things out, but I think that he's more concerned with partying all night and sleeping all day. I wish he would wake up and realize that this situation is pretty serious and he's continuously breaking his one promise of making sure I didn't have to do this alone, because at every turn, that's exactly where I find myself...Alone.
Why can't young men understand that there are consequences to all actions, whether they be positive or negative, there are always going to be consequences. I am desperately trying to be patient with him but he's making it increasingly difficult, I understand that this situation is hard on him too, that it's not just hard on me, but he needs to realize how much harder it is to be a young woman in this situation, I mean for crying out loud I have a life growing inside me! How exciting and scary this is, it's really starting to hit me even more now then ever.
In other news, I reapplied at wal-mart and I am hoping to get a call within the week so wish me luck. I am kind of excited to go back, it's my second family out there and I know that they will all work with me so well through all of this.
Anyways that is my rant for the day. Love you all post more soon.
Sara D.

Older poems I have just recently found hope you enjoy

Too Late
Falling further into darkness.
Feeling lost,desperate, and hopeless.
Wanting the pain to attack me.
Kill me inside for what I have done.
Already dead inside my soul.
Wishing to hurt again.
I know I am not alone.
But feel like I am anyway.
No one to talk to
No one understands
It was ultimetly down to me,
I made the choice,
but now I wonder,
was it the right one?
I feel ashamed, scared, and lonely.
Pain, anger, depression, and hate for myself.
Too late to go back now,
can't change the past,
It's too late for me now.

My Weakness
I walk into the room,
and smile when I see you standing there
so warm and inviting
you'll always be my weakness

You offer comfort,
I accept the familiar numbness that you bring to me
so sweet and seductive
you'll always be my weakness

You offer relief,
I revel in the lovely slow death that you bring
so loving and caring,
you'll always be my weakness

I find you everywhere I go,
even though I hate you
I will always need you
you'll always be my weakness

I wish that you would go away
Even though tomorrow I will turn to you and need you again
I hate you
but you'll always be my weakness.

In My Shoes
I wonder how you would feel
if you spent a day in my life
would you look at me differently?
or would you be the same
after spending a day in my shoes.

I wonder how you would act
if you spent a day in my life
would you tell me that you were wrong?
or would you say that you're still right
after spending a day in my shoes

I wonder what you would say
if you spent a day in my life
would you stop going behind my back?
or would you still talk all your crap
after spending a day in my shoes

All I ask of you,
is that you know my life isn't perfect
I know that yours isn't either
but you don't know how much harder mine is
Spend a day in my shoes and see how much you like it

All I ask of you,
is that you let my past die down
I know you have a past as well
but you don't know my secrets
Spend a day in my shoes and see how much you like it

All I ask of you,
is that you leave me alone
I know you don't like me much
but you don't know how I don't like you either
Spend a day in my shoes and see how much you like you

WHY?
I sit here and I ask God Why?
Why is there pain?
Why is there sadness?
Why is there anger?
Why do we cry?
As I ponder all these Whys?
I think......
Without pain we would be unable to appreciate hope.
Without sadness.....happiness would not exist.
Without anger no one would be able to make up.
Without tears none of us would be able to love.
So when I think that.....
Pain, Sadness, Anger, and Tears are bad.....
I think of all the good....
That we would be missing without them.

LOVE
I find myself lying in a state of despair.
Sitting here wondering why is life so unfair?
I've had great love and I've had great loss.
Is putting my heart on the line worth the cost?
I fall in love than get slapped in the face.
Everytime this happens thats always the case.
All I want is just to love,
Be put on a mantle like an angel from above.
The greatest thing you'll ever learn....
Is just to love and be loved in return.

ENDLESS
Endless pain...So hard to bear
Endless sadness...Your so unaware
Endless nights...Lying awake
Endless days...They make me shake
Endless taunts...You're laughing now
Endless jeers...But why and how
Endless life...So meaningless
Endless death...I wont be missed

Sara D.

So there are some of my OLD poems from quite a few years back. Hope you enjoyed

Broken...

Broken can mean so many things,
maybe just a little damaged,
maybe it means beyond repair.
When thinking in terms of people,
it can mean hurt, destroyed, shattered,
feeling so low no one can possibly bring you back up.
Broken is what I feel,
lost and hurt,
confused and angry.
What do we do with a broken heart?
Do we cast it aside?
Do we force ourselves to heal and just ignore the pain?
Or do we wait it out and hope for the best?
What's the remedy for a person who feels broken?
Do we leave them to their own devices and pretend not to care?
Do we provide that shoulder to cry on, just listen and be there?
Or do we just ignore it and wait for them to come around on their own?
What are the right words to say when someone you love falls away?
Do you talk crap about the one who hurt you?
Do you cry endlessly through the nights?
Or do you grin and bear it like it doesn't matter?
What is broken?
I am.
Sara D.

Now I know that this poem really doesn't rhyme or make much sense at all I was just laying in bed thinking and felt the need to come to the computer and write and this is what came out of it. I have never been one for forcing creativity, I believe that if you are going to be creative that a poet can't force rhyme, or a painter can't always make a perfect picture, or a guitarist write the perfect song, it's all about what's inside you and letting it out in a healthy productive way, so there is my random jolt of creativity for now. Love you all.
Sara D.

Lost...

I feel so hurt, so lost, so scared.
I don't know what to do I am completely unprepared.
I wish I could know what happens next.
When exactly am I going to be thrown into a new test.
I have so much to show, and so much to give.
I want to throw myself to into the future, I want to live.
I know I've made choices that aren't really the best.
I've had to live with the good, and I've had to live with the rest.
Life isn't simple by any means.
I have also learned that things aren't always what they seem.
I wish life would slow down and give me a break.
It just feels like there is no give, nothing but take.
Please help me to believe in me.
So that maybe one day I can live in my dream.
Sara D.

This is a poem that I literally just sat down and wrote. I have been going through some really rough times right now, which I will soon elaborate on for those of you who don't know what's going on please just bear with me as I try to figure things out. For those of you who do know what I am dealing with right now (not my pregnancy) please don't say anything yet. I will do so in my own time, when I have been able to make my decisions without bias or opinions, things are slowly starting to fall into place and I hope that in the near future, I will know what I want to do.
I love you all hope you enjoyed my random burst of talent.
Love,
Sara D.

Drifting Apart..

So over the course of the last few weeks, I have realized some of the people I had been calling "friends" haven't really been there for me through this one of the most difficult periods of time in my life. I texted one so called "friend" that I haven't heard from in about 2 or 3 weeks, today and I asked her "why haven't you been calling or texting me lately, are you mad at me?" and the response I got was this "No just been busy" and that was it. No sorry how have you been nothing. I know this may sound like I am being petty but this is a girl who a month and a half ago was calling and texting me like a million times a day so this is pretty weird. I inquired around to some of our mutual friends, and was told that she has been very social with them, going to the bar, going to their houses, going to the movies, whatever, but she has been "too busy with school and stuff" to hang out with me or even have a simple conversation with me? I was also told that she thinks that since I found out that I am pregnant that I have been and I quote "More annoying and irritating then ever before", I heard that and I broke down and started bawling my eyes out, this is a girl I have known since I was 18, so that really hurt. What did I do to deserve that? Then to top it all off, I had the scariest dream ever last night and woke up in tears, I really don't want to go into details about it let's just say it had something to do with me losing my baby, it terrified me. So anyways I guess I just needed to rant for a bit, thanks for listening.
Sara D.

I am such a loser!

So I have spent my entire day reading, what book you may ask? Well Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince, I just got to the part where Snape kills Dumbledore and no matter how many times I have read it...I cry, seriously I have totally come to expect Dumbledore to die and yet I cry? I have actually been an emotional basketcase lately, EVERYTHING seems to set me off, if I am not crying...I am angry with someone for something.
So to all you women who have had kids...does this part ever go away? I am already an emotional windstorm if you will with my Bipolar disorder, so all these other hormones are just driving me insane!
Another thing about being pregnant thats driving me nuts, is how exhausted I feel ALL THE TIME! I swear I could sleep all day and still be completly wiped out, I am getting kind of annoyed. I find myself napping now, I never used to nap, heck I never used to be able to sleep when it was daylight now I find myself crashing out on the couch at 12 noon with the curtains and blinds wide open!
I had my doctors appointment last week and it well, I am about 9 weeks along and due September 16th.
That's really all I have to report for now,
love you all,
Sara D.

Girls Day Out!!!

So I was sitting at home being bored yesterday morning and my friend Cassandra (whom I haven't seen in months) called me and asked if I wanted to go shopping with her tomorrow (which is actually today now), see Cass lives up in Bozeman so we really don't get to see eachother often and I of course said yes, and we invited our other friend Kellie to come out too, cause all three of us haven't seen eachother in ages! So I am waiting for Cassandra to come get me and we are guna go get Kellie then have lunch, then we are going to spend the whole day SHOPPING!!!!!!! Then tonight Kellie and her husband and Cassandra and her husband, and I are going out (I'm so used to being the 5th wheel with these guys that it's normal now, it's not like I get ignored or anything). For about 2 or 3 years the three of us gurls were inseperable until Cass moved away :( but now we get together whenever we can even if it's only once in awhile (wow I am having typing issues today lol).
In other news Eric and I had a long talk the other day about how I was feeling and he told me he would work on those things that were bothering me, and I will try to work on controlling my psycho hormones lol. I am so glad that he is as mature as he is, it really makes things easy on me going through this.
Well thats all I have to report for now my drs appointment is in 3 days!!!!!
Love you all,
Sara D.

Confusion

So things are going pretty well right now, except that Eric really confuses me sometimes.
He says he's going to be there for me through this but sometimes the other things he says contradict that, I don't really know what to think right now, I know that a lot of this thought process comes from being pregnant and hormonal and that somedays I may think I hate Eric, when I know I really don't. I care about him a lot and our relationship is going great, I am just confused and scared because this all happened so fast. I mean we have only been dating a few months, and I kinda wish we could go back and start over for a while, but we can't and it is what it is. I keep praying that he and I can make this relationship work and it's going really well so we will see.
That's about it for now, appointment is next week!
Sara D.

Things are starting to sink in/Yearning to fufill my dreams

So about a week and a half ago I was in the ER because I was at work and started bleeding bright red, I was sooo scared, turns out I was just dehydrated so they gave me 3 bags of fluids and sent me on my way, well after doing a ton of blood work and an ultrasound.
The ultrasound said that I was roughly five weeks and three days along and my estimated due date is September 16th, so now that it has been awhile I am around about 7 weeks along and things are really starting to sink in, I am now more aware of what I eat, what kinda of headache medications I am taking, everything like that.
The other night I had a totally hormonal moment when I was hanging out with Eric, I started bawling my eyes out and he just put his arms around me and held me close so I could cry on his shoulder, he's so wonderful, and I am soooo grateful for him.
So pretty much everyone at walmart knows that I am pregnant, there's this one guy who keeps asking one of my friends if Eric and I are still together because he wants to date me I guess, what do I say or do to that?
So I have been watching American Idol with my cousin lately and it makes me wonder...what if I tried out next year or something? For those of you who don't know, singing is my biggest passion in life, I would give anything to make a life out of music (without all the Britney Spears drama of course), and everyone who knows me really well knows (not to toot my own horn here or anything), that I am an amazing singer. I have actually been told at karaoke nights out with the girls, that I am the best Amy Lee impersonator they have ever heard. I absolutely love singing Evanescence music because her voice is so challenging to match and I think I do a pretty good job doing her justice. So I think that once my child is grown up a little bit if American Idol is still going strong...that I am going to have to try out. Who knows you just might know a future American Idol (or at least an American Idol contestant lol). I really do think that I have a chance to at least make it to Hollywood if not to the top twelve and maybe even number 1, so there is a glimpse of what my future goals and dreams entail, wish me luck as I prepare myself for that endeavor.
Well folks that's all I got,
Lot's of love to you,
Sara D.
Aka...mommy to be

Ready for a bombshell?

So I've been feeling really outta sorts lately, been really sick and even more emotional then I normally am, so I went to the Dr. and they did some blood work and I found out that I am pregnant.
Now I know what everyone is going to ask next, Am I married or going to get married? The answer to that is no at least not at this current point in time. Eric and I are still going to date and try and make this relationship work and if we are some of the lucky ones we will end up together forever (which is what I honestly want and pray for).
I know that I have made a mistake in the way that this has been done, and I hope that everyone in my family can love and support me through this difficult period of time in my life (even if no one really agrees with it), I know that all of you do love me and that you will be there for me.
I promise to keep everyone updated and I have my first dr's appointment on the 10th of February to find out exactly how far along I am and when I am due.
I am scared to death right now, I never planned on being a mother this early in my life and especially under these circumstances, but I am planning on going through with this and raising my child. I know that this isn't really the ideal way to tell you all but I really have no other way.
In other news I started working at Sears today and I don't know how to feel about it yet I will decide more after a week or two there.
I also talked to my assistant at walmart and chances are good that I am going to go back there next month, I am gonna need the money pretty badly after all.
Well that is all I have for now hope everyone else is doing well.
Love you all,
Sara D.

This just in....

So I know it's been awhile since I posted, been busy looking for work. I am getting really bored with not working it's driving me nuts. If I can't find something by the middle of February I am going to have to swallow my pride and go back to walmart...not that I really want to. It's been really nice not having to stress out about that place. However if I do go back, I refuse to be a cashier again...I can't take the stress of it anymore I would rather be unemployed then to cashier again (sounds melodramatic I know but if you worked at my store you'd understand). I have some prospects and I am hoping to get calls for interviews here soon.
On the relationship front, Eric and I are doing great, we spend a lot of our free time together and seem to get closer every time we see each other. He is a wonderful man and I am very lucky to have him in my life.
Let's see is there anything thing else? I am so excited for Tiel's baby to come, I just adore watching these wonderful children all grow up in front of my eyes and it's truly a blessing to have Micheal and the kids as a part of our family.
I think thats it for now, hope all is well with everyone else.
lot's of love,
Sara D.
