Today is the last day of my second trimester. As of tomorrow, I am on to the third and final trimester – yay! As I find my due date getting closer, I am finding I am getting really excited to meet my little pumpkin. I am also finding that I am getting really nervous about the whole birth process. I’m sure it will be fine, I just have all sorts of questions running through my mind… What if something goes wrong? What if I can’t handle the pain? Those are the main ones, but there are many more. I just keep telling myself it can’t be that bad because most people who have kids have more than 1 so if labour was THAT awful, people would stop at 1 child! And, if my mom could do it 3 times, and she’s a total wimp when it comes to pain, I should be fine. It’s just scary since it’s all new to me.
I will also be glad when tomorrow rolls around because it will mean October is over. The end of October is a really bad time of year in my family. My ex-fiance and I broke up at the end of October 2001, my brother Al and his ex broke up at the end of October in 2004, and now my brother Thom and his girlfriend broke up on Wednesday. Mom and I were just talking last week about how we just want to get to November unscathed, and then Thom and his girlfriend broke up. Sheesh! I’m not a superstitious person, but I do find it strange that so many bad things happen in our family (particularly relationships dissolving) during that 10-day span.
This weekend will consist of more work on the renovation. I’m hoping that the men will get some more progress done on the portico. And I’m hoping they get the nursery to a point where it is ready to be painted. It’s almost there, so I think it will only take another hour or so of work and then it should be all ready to be primed and painted – yay!

Relationships may have ended and it's certainly painful, but look at how much better off you both ended up. You have Carlos, Al has Raeh... if those other relationships hadn't ended, who knows? Thom might just be better off too.
I know what you mean about sometimes feeling cursed though. My dad thought that any year ending in a 6 was awful: '56 his mom was put in the sanitorium (she had TB), 66' something else happened that I don't really know about, '76 his mom died, '86 his dad died, '96 was the year that he got laid off at the Ministry (thanks Tony Douchebag!), etc.
Luckily 2006 was not a bad year. Pattern was broken.
I am glad that those relationships ended because you're absolutely right, I am very blessed to have Carlos and Raeh is a wonderful girl for Alex. So, looking back, Al and I are both glad that those other relationships ended. I'm sure Thom will feel the same in time since I'm sure there is someone better in store for him too!
I just found it strange that all those break-ups happened at the same time of year, that's all.
Glad 2006 wasn't a bad year for your dad! Strange how these patterns develop sometimes. Like how I was a passenger in 2 car accidents at the exact same intersection on the exact same day (Feb 23rd) one year apart (2007 and 2008). Needless to say, I'm not going anywhere near that intersection on Feb 23rd next year!
Tony Douchebag. :D<--that is me laughing my arse off!
Hey, maybe Douchebag is a better last name for him than "Clement"...
JMHO. :P
I definitely think he should change his last name to Douchebag... good one!
