He's on His way..

Well like I said yesterday, I better calm down before Thomas tries to make his debut? Well, I've been trying to calm down and resting, but I keep having these killer back pains every 5-8 minutes like someones stabbing me or poking me in the back and twisting then letting go. and it only feels better if I'm sitting on the "loo" if you know what I mean! I know TMI . so this has been going on for some time now, and since I have a high threshhold for pain, how do I know if I'm in labor or not? does it get worse than this? I feel like an ass calling my family and asking " how do you know if you're in labor?" so I call any way , and I get the answer" You'll know" thanks just the answer I was looking for- next time I'll call my doctor-theyr didnt give me the answers I was looking for- juust alot of good lucks- They meant well,but I was in too much pain- I really want my mom at this moment an dwas pissed no one could help out." :rolleyes. So Tom and I decde to go to the Hospital and bring my stuff just in case. they check me out, say i'm 5 cm, and tell me to go home and come back when the pain is more severe. More severe? you mean it gets worse? Greaaaat! Okayy.. I go home and try and get some rest.I manage to sleep about 4 hours, when that shooting pain comes back again this time every about 5 -6 minutes only sharper and I find it very hard to walk- like I'll be walking and I gotta hold onto my bed and breath my lamaze like I've never breathed before! So I hail Tom and say screw the nurses we're going back! this is severe enough for me!! So we get there and they want to send us home AGAIN but mentioned we could walk around the wing for a while if we like which was fine with me. so they put me in a gown and let me walk the floor until I was dialated a little more- How much pain did they want me in until he could be delivered?Did they want him at a 3 and me screaming in pain to convince them I was ready??!Finallly they check me and I'm dialated enough where the nurses can hook me up to a monitor and let the fun begin...

Construction Headaches

As we visit the construction site more and more of our house it's starting to come together. The last couple of times we visit the site, they just had the rebarr in the ground to pour the cement for the basement, them poured the basement walls, then we went back another time, and they had the first and second floor up and were working on the roof. Today we drove by to check on the house and all appeared to up- the roof was up and papered,windows were in, door was on,stairs were in inside structure was framed , it was a weekend and no one was around, so we decided to take a peek inside - it WAS afterall OUR house- after checking the outside though we were like hey.. we noticed they didn't FULLY paper the roof for shingling- like some paper had ripped off on the garage, but they were going to shingle anyway? NO NO NO!uh uh! That won't fly at all!Hmm, what other things are they cheating on while we're not there that they think they can slip by on us?..lets see..well for one thing the house isn't even wrapped under the siding, there goes our heating bill in the winter and our A/C bill in the summer - strike 2~ anything else? There's a hole in the kithen floor where someone appeared to have dropped a nailgun through the floor and left a foot long hole in the floor! Did they replace the plywood floor? Nooo- they put a piece of wood from the basement and covered the hole from the bottom and nailed the hole covered shut! Now what beer drinking construction headed fool thought that plan was gonna fly and go unnoticed??!!*brainpain- Is lumber that hot of a commodity that you couldnt just go to your house nextdoor of the same model youre making of the same floor plan and borrow their wood for the floor and replace the floor and get new wood for THAT kitchen floor?I mean cmon!UGH! So we decide to see what's upstairs before going 4 steps up the stairs and noticing up the stairs that in the wall are like 25 nails nailed into ONE SPOT in the wall. Now , is this ABSOLUTELY necessary? You're building someone's firt home here! Not playing "how many nails do I got in my gun"! In my wall no less! Oh I'm pissed! So let's add it up here, My house isn't wrapped, when it rains enough over the years, my garage is partially gonna rot, I have nails in my walls for no reason, I have a hole in my floor that was carelessly repaired, I haven't even looked downstairs yet but I tell you what I am NOT a happy homeowner right now!I want my deposit back and fuming! So Tom Is gonna tell the Construction co.off and tell the realtors there's a there's a real problem and we need to get our deposit back.I've never seen such Shoddy contruction for the money we paid to have this house built! We could buy a house off the market for the price we paid to have this house built!I better calm down, because I'm starting to feel crampy and it was getting more and more difficult to make it down the stairs of the house today like Thomas was ready to make his debut..Oh boy, just chill it's cool...Don't want a home delivery, That's for pizza's...
