So I finally gained a pound. Glad it took this long too. I woke up with a headache this morning. I seem to be getting headaches all the time lately. I mean seriously I didn't have one for 3 days and I was thrilled about it. Tomorrow I am 16 weeks and I only should have a few more weeks before my belly rounds out and quits looking like I am a chubby person. I should find out this week if I have been approved for medical through the state or if we make too much.

We are definitely a middle class family. I can qualify for certain things but not others. We just teeter on the borders. Odd thing is I never feel like we don't have more than enough. But it seems like when ever someone needs to borrow money they ask us which is confusing to me. Our family is much larger then anyone I know and many of this people bring in close to what we do or more so why are they so broke. I had two people try to hint they needed to borrow money and one still owes us 40 for many months ago. I couldn't offer just because we had a tight week. My hubby and I went out to eat, went bowling and had coffee at Starbucks for a date night. That was like 75 bucks but that is also the first time we have went out in over a year so it was worth it. We had a lot of fun and got to spend time together which has been very little with him leaving for work about 4:15 every afternoon considering he doesn't get up until 2. Even then he is usually studying or preparing he sermon or stuff for church. Too many people waste too much money on cigarettes and alcohol. I mean how can you have money for that stuff but still need money for gas?... I feel like sometimes I get side tracked talking/typing. Lol.

I had a kid tell me Sunday I was too fat to wear the shirt I had on and he is like 10 or 11. I was like uh no I am not I am pregnant my belly is going to stick out. Then he said well you have too many kids. And I was like who are you to decide how many kids I can have. He persisted to argue with me anyhow. The part that really here's my chain is his mom was standing right there and said nothing. People need to teach their children RESPECT!!! Finally got my husband to boot the 15 year old out and back with his parents. Thank goodness! Took him not being respectful or checking in or asking before he just did whatever he wanted. Plus all the other crap he did in the time frame he was here The 15 year old is also the older brother of the kid who I was just talking about at church. In case I failed to fill you in the 15 year old got stuck here because the family was living in a shelter and he got in trouble and they kicked him out. His option were our house or foster care. His family now has a 1 bedroom apartment. They wanted him to continue to stay here since they are a family of 5. But I just couldn't handle the disrespect any more. It is their kid and their problem I shouldn't have to be dealing with a kid that I didn't raise when there is no reason they can't. Ok I feel better now.

I will never understand how some people live... I have a co-worker who makes double what I make and his wife also makes double and they somehow live in section 8 housing?!?! They don’t have any kids either. It just baffles me. I hate it when people can’t control their kids. Working at a college you see a lot of single parents just letting their kids roam free or screaming and pretend like nothing is happening. You would think the parents could have stepped in and said something like, she seems to know what she is doing, since she is taking care of your brother in addition to her entire family! Grrrr, some people - I swear! And look at that baby bump!! Ahh I am so happy and excited for you!

What I have to say about my picture is I look like I just came from eating at a buffet.... But I am probably smaller right now at 16 weeks then I have ever been through all my other pregnancies (except maybe my first). But I am still going to try my best to come in under that weight also. So I was 158 when I had him so that means I need to gain less than 27 pounds. Considering I have 24 weeks to go I am going to try to maintain a pound or less a week from here on out. Sounds doable on paper. Lets see how it works. only thing that will change this is if by chance there is more than one bun in my oven.

I am a minister's daughter and have gone to churches off and on my whole life and what you say isn't surprising. Sometimes they attract a lot of "takers" who prey on "givers" and none of that has to do with God. The disrespect isn't surprising either. You are a precious wonderful child of God and my heart goes out to you big time. You are looking beautiful and I am so impressed with your spirit. Bless you for sharing and know you have fans here - I am glad to be one of them!

I thought being pregnant gave you carte blanche to eat whatever you wanted? :P I think you look great at 16 weeks!

I don't mind helping people out but they need to realize if your broke all the time and make good money there is probably a reason. There is also a big difference in helping people and enabling them. One I wouldn't have minded helping if we could afforded it but the other is just enabling considering they still owe us from a while back and yet just want to borrow more. Yet they always have money for cigarettes and alcohol.

Some people are givers and some people are takers. Hang in there once people figure out they can't get things by you they will find someone else to move onto.

Yeah, I feel really old when I say "Ugh, kids these days..." but it's really how I feel!! They are ridiculous - some of my students say things/do things in school that I never would have dreamed of!! Also, I love your little bitty bump!! :)
