Kingdom of Knuffel

It seems like it, Lily! After all it's hard work to let that baby grow

15 more weeks as of tomorrow. I feel like the time has flown but also it hasn't.

How are you doing, Mems?

Wow, just 15 weeks. It's funny how the time goes by quickly and slowly tat he same time XD

I think I'm fine. Things got calmer at work. But my brain is getting hectic about that philosophy exam I didn't properly study for... I have to check if there's a term scheduled already.
We're slowly making some savings, and shortly (few months, but I have to tell myself something XD) we'll be moving out from bf's step-dad's place, probably back to my granny. And we'll see.
It's kind of calm but stressfull, you know?

And how are you besides the baby growing like crazy?

And I have to go to sleep, it's so late. I'll probably respond tomorrow morning though XD
Bye~!

No worries, not much to talk about around here. Is it nicer at your granny's at least? I hope so. Test's always made me panic too, I hope you do well.

Sadie, my puppy had her girlie bits surgery the other day, she acts like nothing happened at all. She's funny.

Yeah, just 15 weeks, were starting to purchase some of the bigger things for her not just clothes and toys. It's all becoming more and more real. I can feel her kicking a lot but she's not quite strong enough for Alan to be able to feel. With the placenta on top, her strongest kick/punch is still hard to feel on the outside.

Sleep well! I'll talk to you later :]

Ahah didn't take that nap, instead I read light novels! A few of the ones I normally read got updated. XP I'm always on novelupdates to check for new chapters!

@Lily: It's not that it's nicer at granny's. It's loud, a religious channel or soap operas non-stop and loud, cause she's kinda deaf -.- But at least she's not angry all the time, doesn't criticise like crazy and we would feel comfortable enough to actually cook for ourselves and eat what we want, how we want it, and even move around the apartment freely.
with bf's step-dad it's not only loud, but nervous. Step-dad just can't stop yelling, his daughter is offended all the time and such. It's a nervous atmosphere all the time. So we're hoping after we took some rest from granny's noise, we'll be able to live there for a while. Just the noise is so much better than the nervousness.
It's not really a test, I would love it if it would be a test. But it's gonna be an verbal exam, and about philosophy. And 1), I don't understand philo for the life of me, and 2) I still haven't studied properly. So I'm scared for my own stupidity and not being disciplined

Well, at least she took that well That's always good.

Wow, bigger shopping already. Brace yourselves, the baby is coming XD Are you nervous?
He will feel her in a couple weeks probably

@Hotarla: Lool, I knew you wouldn't take that nap XD

Living situations can be so fickle. I know things are pretty calm and okay here but I can't wait to get to have our own place again. I think we'll be into our own home by december or january at the latest. We have to get some debt paid down first in order to even start looking into a mortgage.

I feel so lonely out here. There really isn't anyone around, there's trees and nature but there's no society and after being here for 2 years i'm ready to see life and people again. We wouldn't have Eli without coming out here so i'm grateful but i'm ready. Very ready.

Oh man, a verbal exam on philosophy? I'm like you tho, I don't understand or rather I question philosophy too much. It all seems like unanswerable questions how the heck is anyone so sure of their opinion?

We are getting nervous - i'm trying not to think too much of the pain of birth or i'll start to lose my mind and I still have over 100 days til that comes. Lol.

That's so long before you can start looking!
But we're similar, I think. We need to gather some funds first before we can start looking for some loan. I don't think we'll be able to afford a decent mortgage (unless we save for like 3 years lololol), so we're planning a loan for now.

Seems like a peaceful place, but kind of dead, huh? I'd probably be in heaven at first, but then it would bug me in the end So I totally understand you're ready to get out of there.

Yeah, and it's my third attempt already... And I don't think the new professor will be more understanding than the previous one, or like the professor from European philo. The latter glanced at my previous questions from the first term (yes, he noted them XD) and just went for the easiest he could come up with. But the professors from the Indian philo have bad reputation of being merciless because they think their obsession is applicable to everyone Kill me "orz
Exactly it's just asking things and making up the evidence. Like this "the two eyes give one view, an that's evidence we have soul". da quack? Indians -.-

Oh no, don't think about the pain! I mean you can mentally prepare yourself, but I think you can also ask for an epidural?
Yeah, 100 days is a lot of time to go nuts

It's pretty much why we came out here. We help with electric and cable bills and pay for our food but we don't have to pay rent and that's really helpful. Our debt to income ratio is almost in range but we need just a little more time. We've already looked at houses and we both have one we really like but who knows if it will still be around in 5-6 months.

It is peaceful but i'm over it. I don't want to or plan to go live in a big city but it would be nice for the grocery store to not be an hour round trip, yanno? Going to see a movie? Takes an hour and a half round trip. Makes you not even want to go. And Eli will need life and the ability to make friends and such. This worked, it served it's purpose but it's time to gooooo.

All I can say about your philosophy stuff? Lol. I hope you pass it and can move on. I only took one class in college and I took it with Alan so thankfully he could help me figure out how to answer the questions but I was never satisfied with them.

Oh girl - pssh...i'm having the epidural and whatever else they want to give me. Medicine is there for a reason, if it won't hurt the baby then yes, give me all the drugs.

104 days to be exact but whose counting :P

Helping out with the bills, but not paying them all, that's exactly our kind of deal Sometimes we take a glance at apartments here and there, but it's more like getting to know the market. And even if we liked something enough, it's as you said, you never know if it's still going to be available when you can actually afford it.

Oh dang, I'm too much of a city girl, everything is close and in my reach. Peace is good for vacation, holidays, but not for living in such a place permanently XD And in your case there's also the baby's life and her social life at stake, so yeah

I know, right? -.-; I hope so, too. I wish I could not take that class, but damn it, they were both obligatory XD

Hahaha, true XD

Ooh, that counter is so fancy!
