Trying to be optimistic

Sep 01

I’m trying to keep a positive view on this shitty circumstances by reminding myself that it’s over and done with, we can’t change it. I’m grateful that the court proceedings are done and no amendments can be made to the amount that would cause even more hardship to us. I’m also hoping I never have to see her troll of a face again. We will be able to pay in weekly amounts much like child support works but that amount per week is still yet to be determined. They factor in costs of living/wages and us being married and his dependents will definitely assist with keeping the amount low over a longer period of time. She is what she is and karma will come back to bite her.

In the larger scheme of things it’s only money. I have him and we are expecting our daughter in only a short time period. We have a dog we love to death, a place to live (although we may have to penny pinch a bit more), and can afford a few luxuries like internet and the occasional going out to eat. We’re both in good health and have amazing family support networks.

Now onto more cheery topics, today I am officially 37 weeks or full term. This excites me somewhat but doesn’t in some other ways because I’ve known women who can go to 42 weeks. I’m hoping I’m not one of those. I have my weekly doctor appointment tomorrow which is usually a quick and painless ultrasound to check the heart beat, fluid, and my blood pressure along with amniotic fluid amounts. She’s low right now as I can tell by the pressure on my bladder 24/7 and on my girly bits as well. I’ve also got comments that it looks like I dropped. Randy and I are going to be installing our car seat sometime this week, complete with a garbage bag over it to avoid Colby hair sticking to it. He rides to/from work everyday when I pick up and drop Randy off. It’s his treat of the day.

And on that note I’m going to ChaCha for another 45 minutes before going to pick him up. He’s pulling a 12 hour shift today. Overtime has been very gracious lately.

  1. Ugh. That sucks, but you’re right, at least it can’t get worse!

    Ooh! Being full term is exciting! :D

  2. Hopefully it’s some petty amount like $15 a week.

    If it’s not to personal, how come he was married to her for like, a month, before they split up?

    Oh lord, I start my 37th week this Friday. Can you BELIEVE our babies are practically full grown atm?! We are probably going to install the car seat in a week or two, it will be interesting since he’s never done it and I can’t physically do it right now lol

  3. Good. Stay optimistic. It’s only money and you have each other and soon you will have your baby. I’d be optimistic and excited too. Keep that chin up.

  4. I’m glad you are being optimistic regarding the situation. Just remember it is over and done, and that you and Randy can now move on with your lives. I can’t wait to see Gracie!!!

  5. Aw I’m sorry to hear about the problems, stay optimistic karma will get her back :)

  6. I’m glad you’re staying optimistic and keeping your positives ahead of you. There’s no sense in worrying over someone who has been wicked. They’re not worth the trouble. You have a wonderful life right now and that’s all that matters.
