Amby Bed
My sister sent me a link for Amby. It’s a hammock for babies. I so want one when we have our baby.

I’m feeling sleepy and nauseous all the time. I haven’t done any knitting in 2 weeks! ![]()
So we went to watch Dodgeball. I wanted to watch The Terminal or Fahrenheit 9/11 but they aren’t playing at the Century Pleasant Hill theater. And I like going only to that theater now.
So why is that? We used to only go to Brenden theaters. Brenden in Concord or Brenden in Pittsburg. But the last time we went to Brenden in Pittsburg the film burned on the screen. We were watching Kill Billl 2. Fine it happens. But the theater didn’t send anyone in the say what was happening. (if it was being fixed or what). So after the movie was over (which by the way was ruined because it was during a crucial point in the movie and really pulled us out of the whole enjoyment of it) I asked a young man if I could speak to a manager. The young man was indifferent and unfriendly. First negative thing about them. Then the manager or whatever he was, was actually rude. I suggested he send someone in next time if something like this happened again. He was very impolite and very brusque. He didn’t attempt to be polite and nice as a manager should be when dealing with an unhappy customer. He didn’t even apologize that the film had burned. I don’t know how Brenden trains it’s staff but I was not impressed. After speaking to this idiot not only was I not satisfied in fact he made me madder. He should have been able to handle this very minor situation so that I would have left on a positive note. That did not happen. If anything his attitude made it worse so now I refuse to go to Brenden Theaters. When I have friends visit we go to Century. And plus. Century has better seats and they have kettle corn! I love kettle corn!
Which brings me to something else…my appetite isn’t the same anymore. I get sick of my favorite foods after eating them a couple of times and I can’t eat as much. And my mouth feels dirty all the time. Maybe that’s cuz I feel vomitty all the time. So I didn’t eat a lot of kettle corn. Amazing. I haven’t even wanted any chocolate. We got my favorite cheesecake and I could only eat a couple of bites. Yep all this little stuff about pregnant really sucks! But it’s really cool a baby is growing inside me. Well cool and sort of creepy and alien like. My baby has a heartbeat already. Isn’t that weird?
So I went to my first visit at Kaiser today. I filled out a whole bunch of paperwork and had blood drawn for tests. Kaiser says I’m 8 weeks along. I say I’m about 6 weeks along. I have a good idea when we conceived…well more then a good idea. I told the lady that at Kaiser but she insisted on putting down 8 weeks cuz that’s the way they do things. So that makes the due date January 31, 2005. She said that may change as I get further along in the pregnancy. They will check to see how big the baby is getting.
The visit was ho hum. I keep wondering if Kaiser is the route I want to go. I see how wonderful my sister’s midwives were and I don’t know if I like the Kaiser route. It’s so clinical and impersonal. This is a special thing for us and I don’t feel like that with Kaiser. I should call our insurance and see if I can go to a birthing center. I know Kaiser has midwives but that’s not the same at all. I don’t think I would even meet a midwife until I’m 6 months along or something. I’ll have to give it some thought.
So I told my friend Bridgitta today that I was pregnant. I tried to get Alan to tell her. I gave him the phone and said you tell her you tell her! I thought he would like to since he hasn’t told anyone yet. He muttered it really quick and she didn’t hear and he refused to do it again because he was being difficult.
So I told her.
And then later I went to pick her and Marie up and we went to visit Helen together and no surprise I was nauseous again.
And I still haven’t found those damn needles. But I brought the baby blanket out with me and borrowed a needle from my sister. I finished working everything in while laying in her bed feeling like puking. But it’s done!
YAY!
I decided to tell my family today that I was pregnant. I wanted to keep it a secret until I was 3 months along but I’m going to visit them tomorrow and I can’t be nauseous all day without them figuring something out right?
So I still haven’t found my yarn needles. I haven’t finished my baby bootee or the baby blanket. And I haven’t knitted for days and days. Just been sleeping a whole bunch. I think I’m depressed and stressed cuz of me being unfairly fired and other stuff…
