i finally got my car fixed. it's been not working for quite a while now. you could charge the battery, and then it would go for a while, but always die again. people kept saying "it's probably the alternator." - and it was. so almost $500 later, i have a working car again. i told the repair guys that the car had been acting up pretty much regularly since the flood last summer, so they went ahead and checked my electrical system. it's apparently fine, which is good. so now i am officially mobile again. yay!

i still don't have the ultrasound scheduled because the appointment girl & i have been playing phone tag all week. she calls & leaves a message. every time i return the call, she is either not there at all, or she's not in her office. we've yet to connect. hopefully we can get it scheduled tomorrow. i went and did my other lab work stuff, but i have nothing else to say about that since i haven't heard back on the results yet.

since rob asked if i'd thought about names, and i hadn't, i decided to go buy a baby name book. i had a gift certificate for b&n, so i got both a baby name book and a design magazine that i didn't need for $1.84. i hope rob has some ideas for names if we end up having a girl. boy names aren't a problem, as there are a lot that i like, so i'm sure we could find one that we both can agree on. girl names, however, have me stumped. while i was trying to make a list, i came up with about four girl names that i really like. argh.

speaking of girls, lily was born yesterday! sarah called us at around 7am to tell us that they were heading to the hospital. we heard from norman a little before 8pm. he called to say that both sarah & lily were just fine. sarah ended up needing a cesarean because apparently lily's cord was wrapped around her neck. i'm so afraid i'm going to end up having this child in a hospital and they're going to make up some reason why i need a cesarean. i do realize that it is necessary at times, i'm just scared is all. and in the end, i'll be glad to have a cesarean or whatever else they want to do to me as long as we end up with a healthy little baby. i hope that this fear will eventually subside a bit. sarah said it did for her, but at times i think i'm just too paranoid.

have i mentioned how insane i think mr. ashcroft is? i think so. on several occasions. well, at least there are others out there who agree.

hey! how 'bout those red wings?!
