Jennifer & Mark - Happily Ever After

[WhiskeyGirl]

Thanks everyone!
Mark was looking at his pay stub today and realized his raise put him in a new tax bracket and now he'll be bringing home less money. So he's going to talk to his boss and see if he will hold off on giving him a raise until it means he will be bringing home more money. We can't really afford to take a cut right now. So we'll see if he continues to work less hours now. I'm hoping so. It's nice to have him home.

The tests are to see what's happening with the adhesions they found when i had my surgery. I'm thinking everything will be ok. But i just want to know what they are going to do next (if anything) I am still having pain in my stomach. I'm worried that they will say they want to remove them now and it will affect us TTC. Argh!

Thank you for thinking of me. I can't wait for it to all be over. But the crappy part then is i have to wait until the 24th to get any results. Hopefully that time will fly!

Oh Hun!! I'm sure the time will fly by!! I was thinking that these two months of waiting would be hella long too but already the first month is gone!! I am thinking of you!! Just remember though that if they do need to do surgery, when you do get pregnant, you will be at your very best to carry that baby and be at your best to be a good mommy!! :D

Well, my visit back to the hospital went well. They didn't see anything too serious. But i have to wait until Jan 24th when i have my follow up appointment to hear anything. I have mixed emotions about that. I'm hoping it will be good and there won't be anything wrong. But with that then i guess i get to have more tests to see if they can narrow down what is causing me pain. But at the same time.... i do know there are adhesions and when i had my surgery in the fall they figured that was part of the problem but didn't do anything about it because i was already seeing someone about it.
Soo.... it makes me wonder. If they are going to do something about it. What would they do? More surgery? Ehhh..... i don't like that idea so much!
Ahh well..... all i can do is wait right now. So why make myself crazy worrying? I've been kinda dopey all day from the meds they've given me. I think i'm about ready to head back to bed.

[WhiskeyGirl]

I wish you the best in what they find Jenn. You said they injected air into your abdominal cavity? I've read about that, doesn't sound like it's too fun! I really hope that everything goes ok though. Maybe they can push back the surgery until after you have yoru first little one or perhaps having the surgery will help when you are PG. Either way, I wish you so much luck Sweet Pea!! :D

I am so glad this visit went well and I hope the one on the 24th goes just as well, if not better. Take care!

Ditto what Melissa says.

[Jenn060306]

Thanks So much girls!

My stomach is still talkin to me. It's moving arround and everything. lol. I think it may have woke me up. I dunno. But it's hurting a bit so i'm trying to move arround and not wake up Mark in the process. I need to remember where i put my rings and necklase.... i had to take them off... so i think there in my bag. I hate being kinda dopey afterwards.

Yesterday we went to our friends Steve & Laura's wedding. It was beautiful! Everything was perfect! We had a great time despite Mark's mom and Step dad getting into a huge fight resulting in his SD wanting to leave. It was so terrible. His mom was in tears and he was a total terd all night. Mark and our BIL had to stand with him at the front door to make sure he wouldn't leave. At first i was realy annoyed that they were going to ruin a night out with my husband for me. But Thankfully he smartend up and just sat at the table and sulked all night.
We all hate so much that they fight so much. Mark's youngest sister couldn't wait to move out because they fight so bad. There are alot of comments about making the same mistake twice in marrying Mark's dad and now step dad. And comments about the door locks being changed and sleeping on the sofa. Ugh! It's miserable! My SiL is now refusing to speak to them because she doesen't want her kids to be involved in this in any way and definatly doesn't want to half to explain why grandma and bubba don't live together any longer. She's explained why her parents don't like together. And it sucks. The tension is so thick and gross and scarey when they fight. I hate it!
Ugh.... but other then that we all had a great time!

[NicksBride]

I am so sorry you have to go through all of That. I am glad however you felt OK to go to the wedding, which sounds like it turned OK besides that one hiccup with family. .Why do they have to do that? I wish you all the best of luck!

[mariaandmanish]

I'm glad that you had a good time at the wedding, minus the scene from the IL's. I hope that they can work it out so that behavior like that doesn't happen again. It's really tough on people around a couple like that...

[hummingbird521]

Well glad to know despite all the hoohaw you and Mark enjoyed yourselves. I hate public fighting.

[Jenn060306]

It's been a while since i have posted over here in OW. This week has been good. Kinda crazy. I've been busy with work and doing things arround the house. I'm stilling fighting this cold a bit. It's not BAD, just the cough andm y nose is stuffy today. Mostly i have been sooooooo tired. I just want to sleep. I'm finding climbing the stairs a bit tough at times as well. How sad.

My BiL's band is playing tonight at the Orchard Beach Bar and Grill. Mark want's to go over and see them. I'm not 100% sure i am up to it. But at the same time... It would be nice to get out of the house.

I wish i had more exciting news to share. Maybe tommorrow i will have some photo's to post if we go out tonight. :grinhappy:

[Jenn060306]

Melissa asked me to share my limo story. So here it is...


My limo driver was this nasty old man in an outdated tux who drove like a complete mad man! It was pouring rain and he parked at the end of the driveway insted of in the empty driveway. My dad had to convince him it was a good idea to back into the drive way so i didn't get soaked!
Then he clipped the curb going arround the corner off my parents street, and floored it when he got onto the main road. He was back and forth in the lane on the shoulder at times or in the on coming traffics lane. The puddles he was hitting were splashing up over the roof of the car cause he was going so fast. When he came to a stop light he then creapt through the light. I looked out the window and realized I was in the direct path of a car that had the right of way. Finally we made it to the road that the church was on. We told him that he'd see the church on the right side of the road and he couldn't miss it. He did miss it! It's not hidden by trees or anything. We were all in the back yelling 'that's it' as he drives past it! My SiL lives just arround the corner from the church and told him to make a couple right turns to go arround the block. But no.... he makes a left into a street then starts backing up to turn arround again. Of course.... more on coming traffic. Finally we get to the church and he parks on the curb infront of it. We all got out of it as soon as possible.
After the ceramony on the way to the reception my aunt was in the car behind us. She told us she was nearly screaming watching him weeve all over the road. She was thinking she would call the cops and have him pulled over and have us made escorted to the hall so we'd make it in one peice. But didn't.
Atleast we all made it in one peice and nothing went seriously wrong.

[ladymelissa]

OMG! That is crazy! I am glad you were okay. Do you think he was drunk? I wonder how he even got his CDL!

[NicksBride]

WOW! That is insane!! Did you call anyone about that? I would have called the company you rented it from, that is NOT acceptable!

[Kacie_bride]

OMG what a story! But anyway, I hope you have a good time tonight. Take care of yourself!

[nic1124]

What a crazy driver! At least you made it in one piece!

[Goin2thechapel]

Limo drivers and taxi drivers are crazy...Good story to tell though!

[Jenn060306]

He was crazy. I'm just glad we are alive.

Ahhh last night. I fell asleep on the sofa and it was nice. When i was awake we watched Flip that House on TLC. We ordered a pizza and just chilled out. We did the same tonight. I am so exhausted lately.... i don't want to do anything. I've told Mark that he has to make me get up and go to the gym in the morning. We'll see how well he does with that.

[NicksBride]

oh that sounds like a very relaxing evening.. I LOVE Flip this house, our favorite show. :)

[Jenn060306]

Not much has been happening arround here. I've got a new client for some freelance work so that's been keeping me occupied.
I went to vist a friend in Ottawa. Had a great time just hanging out with her. Mark went off and did his boy's weekend at the cottage with his BiL and friends. It was our first trip away from eachother since getting married. It was good. Only thing is i had a hard time sleeping w/o him.
Last night we went to Hamilton to see Econline Crush. It was amazing! It was this tiny club called The Underground. There wasn't alot of people there either. Maybe 30. So it was nice that it wasn't completely packed or anything. We had a really great time. I was amazed at how many songs they had that i didn't know where theres.

Well.... other then that. It's pretty boaring arround here.

[Jenn060306]

I feel like i have been so disconnected from the world lately. I can't get out of my little slump. Every day seems to drag on and on. And I am making myself more crazy because i am bored and my mind starts making me a bit more crazy. I think to much i think. Analyzing everything over and over.

I hardly see Mark anymore it feels. Tonight he's off at band practice. which is totally cool. But it feels like when i have down time he's busy and vice versa. I don't know what to do about it all.
I need a new hobby i think. I love to design and work on my own stuff at home. But i work at a computer all day. So the idea of designing more stuff kinda makes me crazy. So i try watching TV and puttering arround the house doing chores and stuff. But that doesen't help because again i get sick of doing that so i end up back here at the computer wondering the web looking for something to entertain me or inspire me.

I have very few friends here in the town we've moved to last fall. All my friends i do have here are mom's so i just don't feel like i fit in all that well. I can't talk about what my kids are doing or anything. Honestly it kinda depresses me a bit more because i don't have any kids yet. We are trying. But the month is long and it's really not that easy.

I've been scared alot lately too. My stomach has been hurting alot. It feels alot like what i had before my surgery. I am so worried that i have more cysts already. I'm scared about waht they wll tell me they have to do next to fix these problems.

I want to spend the day in my bed. Cozy and comfy. But it's not the same without Mark. I really want a day that we can just lay in bed and watch TV and not worry about anything.
I dunno what to do with myself to get me out of this slump. I don't feel nearly as chipper as i did before.

[WhiskeyGirl]
