    I am in a wonderful mood at the moment. Why? Because I had the Celestone injection, and it really hurt, but that isn't the good news, the good news is that I have gained 1.4 kilograms in a week and the babies head is still high up (meaning that the baby isn't wanting to be born, unlike Mase and Ami who had their heads down as low as possible at 26 weeks). So the doctor seems to think that now I will manage to go further along! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

    I'm still going to take it very easy and fingers crossed that if I stay pregnant till 36 weeks, I can have the baby at the hospital here where I live. Unless it is too small or something. But I just have to make 36 weeks and that is only 5 weeks and 4 days away!!! Fingers crossed!!!

    I'm happy because I just wrote my first paper for english class. It is written well above the level that she has taught the class, it is well researched with citations placed in the MLA format she hasn't gotten around to requiring or even teaching yet, and it lambasts the professor for trying to be a social worker instead of an english teacher. If I get a good grade on this I think I can stick with the class. If I get a poor one I'll know that there really is no hope left and drop it like a nerdy elementary school child playing football.

    One of my friends is doing a "vanity piece" meaning he is producing a show of his choosing and taking the part he wants...he has asked me to be in it and gave me the script last night. It is an interesting show. Not sure when it is going to be or at which theater. But, being handed a role is pretty cool.

    In our first performing arts class of the year we were told to "improvise something" one by one and were given about thirty seconds to come up with something. So I played an actor in a Count of Monte Cristo esque movie in a sword fight, who is suddenly asked to put on a Scottish accent.

    I got a compliment for my accent. :D

    Thanks Chimmy. I am still buzzing over it actually. Still can't believe it has been 7 weeks and 4 days now since the big scare. So glad things have settled! yay!

    Yeah, it is awesome, isn't it? :p I honestly couldn't be happier right now. (unless my heartburn from hell decided to let me get back to sleep lol)

    Thanks Hidden! I will just be glad to go another 3 weeks and beat my old score of 32.6 :p

    And CDRW, I hope that you get the grade as well. It sounds very deserving.

    The massive amount of coursework I thought I had in for tomorrow turned out to not be in for tomorrow, in fact it's not in for about a month. :D

    Duh!

    :D Yeah, pretty stupid for stressing out for no reason (I mean, you didn't know, so not your fault) but atleast it' not like you had to bring it earlier or something...

    Yeah, me too!

    And today is a great day. Why? Cause not only did I get our lovable Bick back to the forum <YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!>, but today i also get to do something I never got to do with my other two kids. I get to book myself into our local hospital to have the baby in November. With Mase and Ami I never got to book in, but my doctor organised it all for me yesterday and I go at 2pm to book into the hospital. I'm really nervous and excited. It's a new experience for me with the pregnancy and it is really nice because for me, there haven't been any firsts yet, but me and Dan get this first together. (if that makes any sense at all lol)

    LOL Bock...somtimes typos make me giggle...probably a sign that I should go to bed.

    Tor, that's very exciting! :) It's nice that you guys will get to share this first.
