Doing Ok

Just an update since I haven't posted since July:

In August, we only had the first month's rent, but the landlord was nice enough to work along with us and wait til Chucky got his next check and pay him off. So far we've kept up with our payments which I'm thankful for. Had my first OB/GYN appt with Dr. Clarke, West Indian, no doubt, lol. She prescribed 6 months of BCPs, Ortho Tri Cyclen, which I was none too happy about, and I told her about it failing in the past, but she wanted me to give it another try, and if after 2 mons. and it didn't work, she would try something else. Meanwhile I am supposed to be also losing weight, to be a healthier pregnancy weight...:). I love even writing about me being pregnant, lol, ok that's sad.

In September, I gave up my job search and enrolled in school, Sanford Brown Institute. I'm going for Medical Billing and Coding, and will graduate by September'09. We've got to wear these burgundy-ish scrubs as uniform, and classes are M-Th, 6-9pm. I really would have preferred day classes, but none were being offered, since I enrolled like 3 days before classes actually started and I think those were all full by then. SIL's best friend Cynthia also signed up with me too, so we partner up and are helping each other out which I need! I do have to pay tuition tho while in school, $200 installments on the 2nd of every month because we weren't approved for a grant. *SIGH*, they said if I had a child, I would've probably have been approved....yeah, thanks for making me feel worse about not being able to conceive!!
My first month on BCP's was going AWFUL, I got awful cramps, my boobs hurt constantly, I just felt terrible. AF did go away though, but when she came back...oy. Very heavy, I thought I was gonna hemorrage or something. I went for a follow up with the doc for the results from my pap, and she said if it gets too much for me to handle then definitely stop. I decided to stick it out and my next cycle was AMAZING!! Af came for 8 days, and has gone and stayed away

October now, my dad calls and leaves a message that my 1/2 sis is in town...and pg. I've only met her once, but really bonded with her that one time. It may be due to the fact that she's 1 day older than me, lol IDK. But I've been over to see her, she's come over to the house and met Chucky and some of the fam, and I even went with her to her first ultrasound. She didn't have any back home, so this ultrasound was to tell the sex. The baby wouldn't open it's legs though, so we didn't get to see what it was, lol. The ultrasound experience was amazing though, can't wait til it's my turn. Her original due date was Jan. 1, but they told her give or take 2 weeks, so she could either give birth around Dec. or Jan. 15. I'm thinking more earlier than later, don't know why.

SIL is getting close too, she's due Dec.5, her 2nd baby boy. Both of my sis. bf's are pregnant too, one is due in Nov. and having a girl, the other one is due in Jan (I think), and having twin girls. I've got some gifts to buy, and have only got one so far, lol. Extra money is hard to come by, but at least we're getting by. This post is getting long and I'm getting tired, that's it from me for now.

Moving Again...

Ok, so that fateful time has come. The house thing didn't work, so now we are looking to move again. DH's aunt found an apartment for us, right over his grandparents. The only thing is that we are supposed to have $1900 up front. I'm going to try to get a one-shot deal though, so that we can definitely get this place. Everywhere else wants credit checks and mine seems to be non-existant, DH's is just awful, lol.

SIL is having a boy, due in December. Still haven't found a job yet, but I have appointments lined up, so we'll see. DH's b-day is Monday, he'll be 24, and then on the 29th will be 5 years we've been together as a couple. He wanted to be a parent by his 25th bday, and I really want that to happen for him, so I'm planning on lining up as many GYN appointments as possible now that I was granted Medicaid. You never know with them, one minute you're covered, next minute, you're not.

Ok, that's it from me!

It's been such a long time

Ok, this is my update from the past 3 months. At the end of April there was an awful car accident in NC, and 3 of DH's family members were killed. We traveled down there and attended the triple funeral, and that was obviously the hardest thing he and I as a family had to pull through, but somehow we did.
In May, I did the 3 mile Heart and Cancer Walk through Manhattan, and enjoyed it so much, I've promised myself I'll do that again next year. June has been most eventful. All my nieces had a birthday, the oldest one turning 6, then another 3, and the youngest 2. I graduated from the Business Skills program, and now seeking employment. We also moved, now into a house in Queens. I love it here, but there's still a question about whether we are staying or not. In due time, I'll know.
Religiously, I haven't made much progress, but I'm hoping the move is going to change that.
No LOs yet either, but I'm willing to wait, I have no choice. Seems like I won't be getting that piece of furniture from my SIL after all, she'll be needing it again, lol. Oh well....
That's it from me for now, lata

Waiting.....

Well, I'm back up on this thing again, nothing new really to tell, just patiently waiting. This is the last month for LO 2k8, so if no BFP, it'll be a little hard this month for me to recover. But like I said before, if I get me a BFP even one day after that "cut off" time, I'll be estactic!!
I've even got a bit of furniture, from my SIL who isn't going to be needing it soon. As soon as I get it though, I'm putting it away, so as not to obssess over it. Well, anymore than I already am, lol.
School's going ok, my attendance isn't perfect, but I think for the most part, I'm passing. Just can't wait until June, I'll have accomplished at least something for the year.
I can't remember if I mentioned this in my first post, but I am studying to become a Jehovah's Witness. I'm not as serious as I would like to be and I know the main reason for that is laziness. I'm trying my best to work on that though. Saturday is the Memorial and both my SILs and my nieces and nephew are coming, I'm so thrilled!! I would like DH to come too, but he keeps saying "IDK", sooo...
I get how he feels tho cuz when he invites me to his church functions, my automatic answer is no. If I want to stay true to my God and his teaching, I have to stay away from all teaching contradicting what I am learning. He doesn't see the harm in it, but the few times I did give in and go with him, I can't even describe how uncomfortable I felt, I hated the feeling!!
This post is getting kinda long, so I'll stop here.

Just trying this thing out

Well,
I dunno how really safe this thing is, so I'm gonna be writing a lotta shorthand stuff, and the ppl who matter know it, so here goes:
I'm Charrie, 21, and my DH is Charles, 23. We've been married for 4 years, and tho many ppl didn't think it would work, our marriage has and still is going strong.
DH works @ the P.O and I'm currently going to Grace Institute for Bus. Admin until June.
We're currently TTC, so I'm on 1500mg of Met. to help things along. This month coming up is actually the last for us to have one in 2k8, but whenever it happens, we'll be happy.
We are also looking for a new place to move and settle into, since our living arrangements aren't the best right now. A nice 1 0r 2 bedroom at the right price is what we want, but so hard to find.
But I of all ppl know, good things come to those who wait.
That's it for me for now. Out.
