I'm back and I have a beautiful new baby boy. They induced me at 8:23 am and I had him at 8:27pm. This was the most wonderful experience and really one of the greatest moments in my life. I'm so thankful I was able to have everyone I love close by. It was really hard on my mom though. She said it was hard to watch me in pain and not be able to help. I decided to try all the natural relation techniques first. And when those quit working I got an epidural. Which helped a lot. I don't regret getting one at all. Here's the stats.

Daniel Robert
Born on August 17, 2007 at 8:27pm
7lbs 8 oz
20 1/4 "

I will be induced on Friday. So possibly Friday or Saturday (if it's Sunday I might eat my own young) I will have a baby boy. If you want to be called and such let me know now please. I'm not sure how much I'll be on in the next week.

I wish I'd found this sooner.

Well Mattel made a huge re-call on pretty much everything today. http://service.mattel.com/us/recall.asp That's.....awesome.

And I might be getting induced on Friday. <.< I had low fluid levels today and if that hasn't changed by then it's induction time for me. Yep.

Wow, back from AI. That was really fun. It was great to see so many friends and some awesome costumes. Everyone was pretty polite as well, which anime cons aren't known for. And I must say, AI has moved up quite a bit. For a while I had thought the con was going under but it came back and looks like it'll make it.

Friday: Got in pretty late, but thanks to my mothers scary driving, earlier then I thought we would. I made it over to watch a good hour or so of Greg's set. Then popped in on Steve's panel to say "Hi!". But it was packed so I made my way back outside for some air. Which is where I ran into some guys from Ames and the DeJesus's. We sat and talked for about an hour before I called it quits.

Saturday: Got up bright and early, but spent too long eating breakfast to make a panel I wanted to see. Mom and I checked out the dealers room, which was very nice. I then crashed at Steve Bennetts table for a couple hours. Later I made my way up to the food room aka recharge room and ran into Connie's mom. We sat and caught up a bit, then I found out Connie was there too. I was so excited! It'd been back in March that I saw her last and I wasn't showing at all then. We went downstairs to meet up with her and help her with her costume. She had made a Shadow Lady Crimson Cat and it had turned out awesome. I'm trying to find pictures of it right now. I decided to not attend the cosplay though, too crowded and the seating was wacky. So I went to Old Chicagos for dinner. After that we went swimming, which feels super weird btw. Then it was out to the room parties. Where I proceeded to fill up on orange juice and other mixers. :p Then I went back to the hotel and crashed.

Sunday: Walk around with Mom. I said my "Good-byes" and headed home.

All in all I was very impressed by AI. The only bad thing really was the woman handeling the cosplay was overly rude and full of herself. I was also upset to find out that after making quite the fuss over Connies chest (it's large) and how it was a family con and people would complain. She allowed females to make out on stage, more then once and someone to crack a joke about the Twin Bridge collapse. She did absolutely nothing about either of these situations. Yet she was threating to not let my friend compete because she has a large chest?? To make it even better she was dressed as Yobaba from Spirited Away, so it made her seem extra mean to me. Other then that though I can safely say that I plan on attending next year.

Note: I took a nap and several long breaks through out the day.

Yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe
In yesterday

Suddenly
I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday
Came suddenly

Why she
Had to go I don't know
She wouldn't say
I said
Something wrong now I long
For yesterday

Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe
In yesterday

Why she
Had to go I don't know
She wouldn't say
I said
Something wrong now I long
For yesterday

Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe
In yesterday

So I'm getting stuff ready to go to the hospital. I'm due in 3 1/2 weeks. I realize I still don't have a nursing bra. So I decide to long around online. They are hideous! They are worse the Playtex 18 hour bras. They come in White, Black and several shades of nude. Very few of them have underwire, foam cups or lace. I need to learn to make bras quickly.

We got the baby's room painted and mostly set up. now I just need a baby. I thought I'd be going crazy wanting to deliver, but I'm actually quite content being pregnant. I was really tough on me the first 6 months, but other then the nausea I haven't really had an problems. And I'm not scared of delivery at all. I'm not sure why I'm so relaxed given all the other stress in my life. But I'm just not too concerned about it. I think a lot of it has to do with my friends and family. They've all been so nice and supportive. I actually even went swimming with J, G and their little one. Not only was I wearing a swimsuit, but it was a bikini. And I felt fine. It was such a great experience. Plus I love how close I feel to G now.

My Aunt Beth and her family will be here tomorrow night. I'm not that overjoyed. And I hope for once they keep their opinions to themselves as far as Lauren and I are concerned. This is also for their safety because Lauren will tear them all new ones. It's strange she teases me about my pregnancy, but flips out when someone makes one remark she finds out of line. I think it's her way of caring though.

I'm sure a couple of people on my f-list read the webcomic ctrl+atl+del. But for those of you who don't.

At a recent Iowa Cubs game a guy named Mario was wearing this shirt http://www.ctrlaltdel-online.com/images/news/newshirt1.jpg and was approached by state Senator Jeff Danielson http://www3.legis.state.ia.us/ga/member.do?id=790 who wanted to trade him shirts. Now Mario did turn down the trade option, but chose to give Mr.Danielson his shirt instead.

That's pretty cool if you ask me.

So for those of you I've been out of contact with, I'm 32 weeks pregnant. I'm expecting a boy and I'm very excited. With the exception of morning sickness this has been a wonderful experience. The baby and I are progressing normally and are perfect healthy. Everyone's been very nice as well. Even my step-father is excited. There's only one negative thing I've noticed. Other woman, pregnant or not. And it's only on one subject, YOUR childbirth choices. Everyone knows the best way for YOU to deliver YOUR baby. There way is the right way and all other ways are the works of the devil. And not one of them will ever ask what made you decide on that method. From what I've heard these are the basics. (Note I believe none of these stereotypes to be true)

Natural birth = weird crazy hippie, who is endangering their child.
Water birth = new-age freak, who is endangering their child.
Elective C-Section = self centered narssicist, who is endangering their child.
Hospital Birth w/ Epidural = again,self-centered, and a control freak with no confidence in their own body, who is endangering their child.

Everyone caught on to where I'm going with this? That's right there isn't a "right" way. And there's no way to say one is "safer" or "healthier" then the others. There's a million arguments for and against each one. I'm pretty sure if I looked hard enough I could find articles in support of having my dog deliver my baby while a squirrel assists. Now most of you all are going okay this is obviously a bad idea. But I'm sure somewhere there's a woman who KNOWS that's the best way to do it.

What makes even less sense are the woman with a perfectly healthy baby who argue with another woman with a pefectly healthy baby. Neither one stops and goes "OMG she delivered by (insert devils way here) and her baby is fine. Maybe I missed somthing and should inquire further" oh no, it's never that. Instead they spend an hour arguing for their choosen method over the others. Nevermind that both babys have already succesfully entered that world and, judging by the smell from their onesies, seem to be perfectly healthy.

But now my personal favorite. Woman and girls (as in 16 and under) who have never been pregnant, but know all about it for whatever reason. Now I'll admit. I considered myself well read on the subject, but there's nothing that can actually prepare you for all of it. There's is no device or gizmo that will allow you to experience pregnancy and childbirth. If there is I'm sure the FBI, CIA and Homeland Security use it for torture and have no plans of sharing it. There's also that fact that we're all different and unique. Well how about that, God really didn't make us all equal. For instance, strech marks don't run in my family, one of my preggy buddys looks like a live animal clawed her stomach. But big boobs run in her family so she has one awesome rack, I will be lucky to make a full C. But nothing we ever heard actually prepared us for the experiences we've had. And some of these things can really shock the shit out of you. But you can't take my word for it. There's also a lot of things no one feels they need to tell you. My favorite one is that most of the time you will shit yourself during delivery. Yep that's right. Who remembers being told that in Health, cause I didn't. And yes you can get an enema. But sometimes even that isn't enough.

I understand most people do it out of concern for a new life. But is it really helping that much if you scare the shit out of the mother currently housing it? Are you presenting your view in a calm and well-informed manner? I've had maybe two woman rationally discuss this topic with me. Everyone else has wound up reminding me of a televangilist or Adam Sandlers mom in the Water Boy.

So next time how's about holding your tongue and asking why. I'll bet there's a good reason she chose that method. And I'll lay any amount of money that she doesn't think she's endangering her child in anyway.

Note: I know I haven't stated my preference. I don't have one yet, so there.

Another friends cut. Only this time some people are being cut regardless of wheter they want to or not based on the nasty comments I've heard they've made. You people know who you are, you're the ones feeling the need to defend yourselves right now by attacking me. Or maybe just the ones feeling guilty. Still, comment to be kept.


And just an update, Keith and I never broke up, some people need to get their story straight.

Game over guys, game over. I can't live like this. I'm like 1000 fucking miles away and some rejects can't just drop it. I'm sorry Ames has nothing better to talk about besides me, but for the love of Christ stop. And stop bothering my family. Do you honestly think you're gonna turn my own blood against me? When of the things I really learned in 05 is that my family loves me and would never let me down. And some dumb kids basing shit off of heresay aren't gonna change that one damn bit. And yeah, they'd still visit me if I'd moved somewhere besides Vegas. You all make me absolutly sick to my stomach. And stop harassing random people I don't even know. It's not fair to them. They don't even know me. All it'll get you is a nice slander charge. You got a problem, then step the fuck up to ME! And get your facts fucking straight before you go spreading shit around and changing it as you see fit.

Just to let you guys know, Rob and I are talking and trying to work on becoming friends. We have a lot to talk about and work out though. Ya'lls two cents ain't helping. All it does is fuck it up further. I know you think you know best because of some random reason. BUT YOU DON'T!!!!. You have no idea what really went on in our relationship. You know what you saw on the outside and what people have said, which is far from the truth. I don't judge the inner working of your relationships so stop doing it with mine. If you honestly want me and Rob to be friends you'll shut the fuck up and back out. This is no ones business but ours. That's why I never talk to any of you all about it anymore. Hopefully this'll be all I have to say on this.

Next, stop saying rude things about Keith because he makes porn. He's amazingly sweet and wonderful. Right now I can only think of one person on here who actually knows him. He does a lot more besides that and has been doing it for a long time. He's my boyfriend, not my Sugar Daddy, Pimp or Agent. He is none of these things and would never ever ask me to do anything like what people have been implying. You don't even know him, so stop talking shit about him.

If you don't like me then ignore me. Quit focusing on me. I'm thousands of miles away, you say you don't care about me, but obviously you do if you need to keep tabs on me when I've been gone several months. You say I don't matter and that you could care less, but I'm still your topic of interest. Go join a club or something, and not a Jessi hating one. It's not like your words are gonna kill me or stop me from exsisting, or even make everything go back in time so I don't dump Rob. I did, get over it. Both of us have. And we're the ones most deeply affected.

I've moved on, now you try it!

I'm making thi journal friends only comment to be kept.

I'm gonna start reading more. I'm gonna build a book list. So please comment with some recommendations. Any and all kinds of books are welcome and feel free to leave a list as long as you like.
