Getting back into blogging!

I've decided that I may make this blog a little more personal then I wanted. More like a diary type thing.


It's been a very long time since I've posted. There's a ton of updates, new stories to tell. I guess I'll just start with the most recent. I've been thinking a lot & I've been wanting to just jot down my thoughts, but I never get to it. Especially with a 9 month old who crawls everywhere & doesn't believe in nap time.


I was recently hospitalized with sever stomach pains. Which I've gotten ever since I was a baby. No doctor could figure out what was wrong with me. Tests have been done and, nothing. No results. So finally, this past time I was hospitalized I had a endoscopy and colonoscopy done. I have a very high chance of having Crohn's disease and Celiac disease. I was put on a very strict diet. No dairy, salt, minimal sugar, gluten free diet. This is going to be hard.

I found my birth mother. Lets just say, she's a nut job. I'm one of TEN, yes TEN siblings. Most of them are actually from rapes, insest, or prostitution. GROOOOOSSSSS! Anyways...
I found this lovely woman on a sex offenders website. She molested and raped my soon to be 18 year old sister. I do know names and ages, but I'm not going to post them on my blog due to how I'm not even allowed to know about them (says the adoption agency). My "father" is one of two very nasty, mean men. Potential "father" one, is a murderer who decapitated a 14 year old boy (AND I WAS THERE TO WITNESS THIS!!!!!). Potential "father" two, is a lovely man who is a sex offender, woman beater and serial rapist. My "grandfather" (mothers dad) is currently in jail for raping and molesting mostly all my siblings, fathering my second oldest sister and murdering two black men in a drug deal gone bad. My "grandmother" died from an unknown cause. I am a tad bit suspicious on this one. But what ever. My mother is involved in two very brutal, nasty murders. One of which happened to a little old lady. This lady was actually the one who turned ME into child protective services when I was a baby due to my mother whoring her self around and abandoning me. I had 21 fractures ribs, fractured shoulder blade, and severe issues with my legs and arms. Lovely, huh? I found my birthmothers phone number and called her at 10:30 PM about a month ago. We talked for about an hour....then I was done! Her "husband" is a priest who is also a sex offender....LOVELY! He actually never knew she had kids or basically any thing about her. Come to find out, she was married 6 times and she has never been "legally" divorced. Boligamy at it's finest :D
She did e-mail me pictures and I have to say, I kind of look like her. But you can obviously tell the years have taken a toll on her. She's only 42 years old.


I'm getting married! May 5th of this year will change my life forever. I'll be a married woman :D
I'll post all about this in a totally different post. But I will let you know, my fiances name is Raymond. He's the sweetest guy ever. AND my parents love him. HA, that's literally a first. They hated every single guy I've been with. He's actually not a druggie, drug dealer, jail bird, nothing like any guy I've been with. Surprised? I am too :D
& the best part, he loves Chloe! He's her father figure since she doesn't see her dad and him and I no longer speak.

I'm just trying to hurry on up and type since Chloe will most likely be up soon. I swear this child knows when I'm doing something and only takes very very short naps, if that! I'm going to try and blog on a daily basis. I want to keep my blog updated on things that are going on and post tons of pictures of my little cutie. Oh, I forgot to mention....I've been in cosmetology school for about 6 months now. I love it! I can't wait to graduate and start my cosmetology career. Charlie is no longer a member of our family anymore. He's been so aggressive we had to let him go. His new owner actually texted me yesterday and let me know that animal control will be putting him down due to Charlie attacking him. It's sad, but he'll be in doggie heaven. Raymond and I have a new puppy....well horse if you see his size. We've had him for about 3 weeks. He loves Chloe and he's a big teddy bear. He's a 53 pound 10 month old beast. I love him though. His name is Buddy!

Well, I have to go. Chloe is probably going to be up soon!
I'll blog tomorrow :D

WOW!

I haven't blogged in so long! There is so much to say. So many thoughts. So much going on! Where to start....I might just bullet everything until I can actually sit down & wright an actual good blog post. So here I go...

*I had my daughter!
-Chloe Grace was born on May 26th, 2011. 9:27 AM (Arizona time). She was 6 pounds 2 ounces. 19 inches long. I had to have her at 36 weeks & 2 days. I was in labor for about 9 hours & only pushed for 15 minutes! She is currently 2 weeks & 2 days old right now. I will post pictures when I do an actual good blog post.

*I had my gallbladder removed the day after I had Chloe.
-It was SEVERELY clogged with gallstones & I was told if it went any longer like that it will burst & kill my daughter. That's why I was induced at 36 weeks & 2 days.

*My Grammy passed away the other day.
-My dad flew back to New Hampshire. My mom, Chloe & I stayed behind. I'm still recovering & just my dad going was over 800 bucks! I'm actually not really close with any of my dads side of the family. So I really hate to say it, I would of hung out with friends if I went. To be honest, everyone on his side are weirdos & they treat him like shit. It's not fair at all.

*We've been here for almost 6 weeks.
-It's getting hotter & hotter. I wish I could swim. But I can't for 4-8 weeks (from when I had my surgery on the 27th).

*I have pretty bad mastitis in my left breast.
-It's so painful. Chloe won't latch on so I've been pumping for her. I now have to give her formula & breast milk because I'm just not pumping enough for her. I feel so bad.

*Chloe was FINALLY approved for insurance!
-On Monday I will be calling a pediatrician for her to see. We had to go to a clinic when she was 6 days old for her to be checked out. It was nasty, the people were rude & they charged me 50 for the appointment & OVER 200 for blood work! I'm letting the insurance company know so I can get my money back!

*I miss the Crawford family more then anything!
-This family is amazing. They have helped me, gave me guidance, advice, support, comfort, love, everything you can ever think of. Moving away from them was the hardest thing. They are the only thing I miss about New Hampshire. Other then my mom's family. Ali is like a second mom to me. Every time I think about how much I miss them, I get all sad & teary eyed. She has helped me so much over the past 4 years. So has her husband Ricky. Her kids are like my brothers & sisters. We fight like siblings at time. I wish I was still around so Ali could help me with Chloe. She is an amazing women & they are just an amazing family. I love them so, so much. I'm hoping Chloe & I can take a trip up sometime in August to visit. This is Ali's blog by the way Crawford Life & Times!

Baby is crying. Sorry this was such a short post! It's feeding time.
I will TRY to post as soon as I can get a chance.

xoxoxo

IT'S GOING TO BE A LONG WEEK.....

*BABY NEWS:

My due date has changed! Chloe is now due on June 11th & not the 20th anymore. Which puts me at 33 weeks & 2 days today. I had an ultrasound on Thursday and this baby is HUGE! She measured out at a little bit over 18 inches in length and a tad bit over 5 & a half pounds. She is still fully head down and still expected to come early because of her huge size and because of how far down she is.
I already have a new doctor in Arizona. My first appointment is on May 5th at 1:30. This new office has all girls that work there, thank God! They will also do a 3D/4D ultrasound for me, free with insurance! My dad is going to try and get me on his work insurance, if not I will have to apply for state insurance.

*MOVING NEWS:

My dad has literally the WORST luck when it comes to moving! He picked up the moving truck Friday afternoon. Saturday was down poring freezing rain! Two of my uncles came over to help my dad move...in the rain. Wellllllll, my dad got a way to small of a moving truck. Yep, we had to leave things behind because a 16 foot truck was NOT big enough. Saturday morning my mom & I left the house around 9 in the morning with the car to come down to my nana's house for the day. My dad was going to just meet us here when he was done with the moving truck. Well around 3-3:30 I called my dad to see how things were going and I had to drive over an hour back to the house so he can stuff the car with as much as possible. My uncle also had his car stuffed with a ton of baby things. It was a big, huge mess! My dad finally got things to fit in the car...from the house, this is not including everything my uncle had in his car. Then it came time to put the car onto the tow dolly. Do you think that was an easy task? NOPE! Over an hour later, my dad finally got the damn thing to work. So I rode to my nana's house with him & my dog in the moving truck. SO NOT COMFORTABLE! My ass was killing by the time we made it to my nana's.
So we get to my nana's around 9:30 at night....FINALLY. Well remember how I said my uncles car was stuffed full with baby things!? My dads Jeep had to be emptied out to rearrange everything so everything will fit. That took about another hour, maybe 45 minutes. I had to sacrafice my TV for baby things to fit in the Jeep & things that my dad needed had to be left behind. My dad said he will buy me a new TV one when we get to Arizona. YAY! I want one of the cute like 20 something inch flat screens that go on the wall.
The next morning (Sunday, yesterday) my dad left around 6:30 in the morning with Charlie (dog) & the moving truck. I am SOOO nervous for him doing this long drive by himself. He claims he will be fine because he has Charlie....uhm, a dog is NO help driving to the other side of the country. That is just my opinion! He called me around 3 (take or leave about 30 minuets) to let me know things were fine and he made it into New York. His goal for testerday was to be in Ohio. He pretty much made it there by 7 at night, I think he was like an hour away from there. Today he will call me around lunch tim to let me know how things are going, and also when he gets to a hotel tonight. I'm still very, very, very, very, very, VERY scared something is going to happen. PRAYERS PLEASE!
OHHHHH! Best part of the day....my dad hit the house with the moving truck. UGH! Roof and side panaling damadge. Wait until my uncle see's that shit. He is going to FLIP! My dad isn't going to tell him until he is back from his vacation in Hawaii. *Note my uncle was the one renting us the house in Maine. The rich one, who is a relisate agent, who has tons of money, and properties, who is up my dads ass about the rent money for this month. Sory but my dad is fucking broke and hardly has the money for this move, you will get your damn money like he told you (sorry, i get mad when I talk about him). For the record my dad ALWAYS pays people back the money he ows or borrows. Just saying.

*BAD NEWS / BAD LUCK:

My dad spoke with my mom yesterday when he called around 3 (ish). Wellllll, come to find out someone stole his credit card numbers and there is around 700 bucks missing from his account. This whole move in totoal is costing over 5 grand to beging with. My dad only had about 5 grand (not even) for the move. Money was VERY tight to beging with...and now it's even tighter. Not even tighter, he is basically BROKE and has no clue what he is going to do for food, hotels and gas. I feel so bad for him. Why does this shit always happen to him!? I wish someone would just help him out for once. But nope, all his side of the family won't help him at all. AND THEY ALL HAVE MONEY! My moms side of the family can't because they just don't have it to help him with. But if they did, her family would help as much as possible. Did I mention before how my dad's new job won't pay for this move...not sure if I have or not, so I'm adding that part in here right now.

*OTHER NEWS:

Can you tell I'm stressed for him & about everything going on!? Well if you can't....I'M STRESSED BEYOND BELIEFE! Just saying. May 3rd my mom & I are flying to AZ. We have a direct flight at 3:35. A 5 hour & 50 minute flight. NOT excited for this. I hate planes, I hate flying, I hate sitting for long periods, I'm going to be 34 weeks pregnant, I have bad gas now (I'll feel bad for the guy sitting next to me, hehehehe), I'll be hungry, cranky, you name it, I'll be it.
This week my mom & I are staying in Salem at my nana's / aunts house. My aunt has one of the houses with an inlaw apartment. We sleep at my aunts house & hang out at my nana's for the day. Well, I go back & forth between the two. My nana is a chain smoker, like SOOOO badly her walls are YELLOW! Yeah, nasty. All my clothes smell, I can hardly breath when I'm over here, she never opens the windows or door, she keeps the heat on like 70 all day. I CAN'T STAND IT! So I sometimes hang out at my aunts when I start to get dizy or can't breath anymore. My little cousin Kayla, who is almost 3, is the cutest thing in the world. So I don't mind hanging out at my aunts house. My uncle & I get along pretty good, so that's also a plus.
Easter was alright. Nothing to special. Family came over to my aunts house. we ate ham, had dessert, chatted, the usual. Every family holiday is spent with my moms side of the family besides Christmas Eve. My mom & I don't really like many of the people on my dads side...only a select few.
My birthday is next Monday (the 2nd!). I'm trying to get all of my moms family together one last time before we leave for dinner. My nana's birthday is May 5th & so is my mom and dads anniversary, so I want to have everything all in one dinner. I don't really even care it's my birthday, I just want the family to get together one last time!
OHHHH! I have a new love in my life! My new Blackberry Torch. It's my 3rd baby (Chloe, Charlie & now my Blackberry). I should name it! HA! I am in love with it. It is still hard to figure out because it didn't come with any direction booklet, just a quick start guide thing. But I have a whole week of doing nothing, so I'll just play around with it to figure it out.
Chloe has the hickups right now! Ha, she is so cute. Well, besides her foot in my rib. She gets so mad when I try to move her. She gives me one swift kick & punch when I do.

Well I guess that's all the news updates I have for now. I'm sure I'll be blogging again more this week & keep updating on my dad & everything going on.

Xo,
Courtney <3

QUICK UPDATE....

*31 weeks pregnant today & the start of my 8th month!

*My laptop is now a huge paper weight & I'm currently using my dad's computer.

*Packing, packing, packing!

*We found out the OFFICIAL answer on my dads job & we have one week to pack & move to Arizona.

*My dad is leaving this Saturday (the 23rd) with the moving truck...ALL BY HIMSELF! (very nervous about that)

*My mom & I will be staying at my Aunts house (hopefully) until my dad gets to Arizona.

*Drive with the moving truck will take about 5 days.

*May 2 is my birthday (19!) & I believe that will be the day my mom & I will be on a plane to Arizona. Also that is the new start date of my dad's job.

*I'll be 33 weeks pregnant the day we take flight (scared.as.shit!) about a 5 hour flight. For sure bringing a crap load of food in my carry on bag!

*Very tired from packing, and packing...OH & packing!

*Chloe's dad is a pain in the ass & I am SOOO happy I will be moving across the country far, far, FARRRR away from him. (that story is for a whole new post sometime in the near future!)

*I will miss family & friends---especially Ali Crawford & her huge family.

*Hopefully we will be taking a trip back up to New Hampshire sometime after the baby is born. Keeping my fingers crossed for Late summer and / or Christmas time. Hoping money will not be an issue then. Really want to come up before Christmas because aorund Christmas time Chloe will be 6 months & I really want her to meet family & friends before she is that old.

*I am scared about having no insurance right when we get to Arizona & no doctor. I hope I can get insurance VERY fast & find a doctor asap.

*My last weeks OB appointment went very good & the DR thinks this baby will be leaving the womb early. She has been head down for over 2 weeks & she keeps pushing down, further & further and basically is about 5 pounds & has no room to grow. So she is a big baby! I personally think I am further along then told, but the DR's will not give me another ultrasound. Praying I get one once I find a new OB in Arizona.

*New OB appointment this Wednesday because now I go every 2 weeks, but will be missing my next weeks appointment so it had to be changed to this week.

*My poor dog, Charlie, has a poop infection & has been sick for almost 2 weeks. He is on  an all rice & chicken diet and on meds that are now making him constipated & in more pain. He has a vet appointment this Thursday to find out what is going on with him.

*I get a new phone upgrade tomorrow! YAY! Hopefully I can get another iphone & my dad can have his phone back. My old phone (phone number like 8 from at&t) broke a few weeks ago, so my dad gave me his to use & he has a cheap p.o.s phone until I get a new one.

*Very mad my tax check in NOT in yet. GRRRR! I want my 100 bucks NOW!

*I have really bad heartburn right now, just thought I'd add that in here :)

*Nothing else really to update you about, so for now I will be going. I'll probably be posting again once I am all settled in Arizona. Or maybe when I'm at my Aunts house next week....if I can get on her computer. Bye :)
