NickelBack, Good Song

Nickelback Far Away Lyrics
This time, This place Misused, Mistakes Too long, Too late Who was I to make you wait Just one chance Just one breath Just in case there's just one left 'Cause you know, you know, you know [CHORUS] I love you I have loved you all along And I miss you Been far away for far too long I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore On my knees, I'll ask Last chance for one last dance 'Cause with you, I'd withstand All of Hell to hold your hand I'd give it all I'd give for us Give anything, but I won't give up 'Cause you know, you know, you know [CHORUS] So far away So far away Been far away for far too long So far away So far away Been far away for far too long But you know, you know, you know I wanted I wanted you to stay 'Cause I needed I need to hear you say I love you I have loved you all along And I forgive you For being away for far too long So keep breathing 'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore Believe it Hold on to me and, never let me go Keep breathing 'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore Believe it Hold on to me and, never let me go Keep breathing Hold on to me and, never let me go Keep breathing Hold on to me and, never let me go

More Ouch

Does pregnancy ever end??!?!?!?! Geez, it's not that I don't love pregnancy, because I do...I've been very lucky...BUT sometimes I feel like I'm falling apart, each day a new adventure, a new pain... Last week I self-diagnosed myself with a bruised tailbone (how I had bruised it I NEVER figured out, just assumed it was from sitting on it with my now 205 lbs). Well, after days of increasing pain, by friday night I swore it was swelling, which panicked me because I figured the bone was in very bad shape. Soooooo, through a series of odd events I actually woke up early Saturday morning to go to the Walk-In clinic and who'da known that it was NOT the bone, but an infected something or another (cyst? abcess?) and required 2 shots, a scalpel cut, lots of pusing to drain it, plenty of water, and gauze to stuff under the skin :( I didn't complain to much, my only real comment was... "WELL, I better get used to pain real quick!" After this I actually had less pain then I had in the previous days, but because of where it was, and my sensitive state of pregnancy, it was bed rest for me the rest of the weekend with return trips to the clinic Sunday to remove and restuff the wound, then tuesday to remove for good. So far so good, looks like I am pretty much healed. Bad news for me though is that I am on anti-biotics AGAIN :(

As far as Eva goes, we went to the mid-wife yesterday and we are in very good shape. I was lucky to get an ultrasound last week and the amazing little girl has hair!!!! I can't wait to meet her :) Last night I went to a pediatricians office for a "pre-natal" night, and I just love the place. As long as I can get my insurance straightened out ASAP (I've been trying for a couple months now) I will be able to take her there. I recently bought her carseat, which was traumatizing for me, i HATE comparison shopping, but I feel I made a good choice and her safety and comfort are well worth the money (I didn't get the cheapest thing out there.) Yesterday I started gathering some things for the hospital, I figure it's about time to get serious about this. However, I've got LOTS more to do. As much as I want her today, I really do need the time.

On a random note, as I was driving yesterday I was thinking about a phrase that popped into my head... "There are no mistakes in life, only choices". I have developed any real thoughts about it yet, but so far i agree. Do you?
