Huge Update

Wow! I haven't even been on this site in over a year and a half! There are many things I have to update.

First, I am pregnant again. The due date is January 31, 2012. I am expecting a boy and am totally thrilled about it! He kicks and punches so much more than Amaya ever did and stays on my bladder. I have no names picked out. Amaya insists his name will be Flynn Rider after the guy in her favorite movie Tangled.

Second, I am going to have to change the Carter-Sutton family just to the Carter family. My lovely long termed boyfriend of 6 years got arrested. Apparently he had been receiving packages full of drugs in the mail. The Norfolk PD caught him with 65 pounds of marijuana that he had just had mailed to him from California. I knew he was a drug addict.

He has been smoking weed since he was 12 years old and is 32 now. His habit was what we fought about all the time. I can't stand the smell of weed and he was still smoking around me until my morning sickness almost made me puke on him. He had to quit smoking for a little while so his drug test would be clear and it was the hardest time of my life. Being around a 20 year addict when they do not have the drug is not safe for anyone. The mood swings were severe! One minute he would be punching stuff and screaming at me. The next minute he would be threatening to kill himself or run out of the country. He has been doing this in front of his 4 year old daughter. Once his drug test was clear, I believe he started smoking again. When you are pregnant you have a nose like a bloodhound and I have been smelling it on him! People claim that someone can't become addicted to marijuana and it is harmless. That is very false!!!!

His attorney told him that he would be going to prison right after Christmas and before the baby will be born. That means I have 10 weeks to find out what I'm going to do for the birth. My family lives 1,000+ miles away and couldn't make it to Virginia in time for the birth. I have someone here that can watch Amaya but would have to be in the delivery room by myself. I guess I will have to schedule another C-Section so my parents or brother can be here.

Last, he got us evicted from our apartment. He was having the drugs mailed to his place of employment and that is where the Norfolk PD arrested him. His former employer owns the apartment we live in and they are evicting us. He has somewhere to live but I can't handle being around him anymore. I have to find somewhere for me and Amaya to live before November 30! All the public housing places are not accepting applications anymore so we might just be homeless right before Christmas. I am just devastated that my child will not have a Christmas this year or even somewhere to hang her stocking.

The only place to go when you hit rock bottom is up. Hopefully things will turn around soon!
