Hello Out There?!?!?

Did everybody fall off the face of the earth or something? I thought I might hear from people more what with the ol' bun in the oven, but things have been just the same. Sunday was my Mom's birthday and I haven't even been able to tell her Happy Birthday! I have been trying to reach her for over a week now and everytime I call it just rings and rings. Every now and then it will ring and then I hear odd static and screeching and then it goes busy. So, Mom, if you're reading this... call me because I just can't get you! Now to my Dad... I haven't talked to him since my birthday (Aug 1st). Where are ya, Dad?

It's frustrating feeling like if I ever want to talk to my family I have to be the one that goes out of my way and calls the whole million of them! Because if I don't no one will ever call me! I have complained about this for years now, but nothing seems to change. A lot of abandonment feelings come along with all of these pregnancy hormones. Everyone keeps saying they wish I'd move back to the east coast, but I wonder how much of a difference that would make. It's still long-distance. Dan and I will still be the ones doing the traveling and making the calls. I am hoping with my sisters (and you too, Matt!) coming out the end of this year will make me feel better. It's been almost 4 years since I have lived in the same state as any of my family. It will be nice for my baby to know his/her aunts and uncle.

So, if anyone is reading this that cares... feel free to give me a call. I may not have much to say, but it would be nice to know someone's thinking of me!
