Frustration

So everything with little Liam is wonderful- however, i am spending my time going crazy for the future i see us (as Americans) setting up for him. As most everyone knows i care about politics. Currently this health care thing is scaring me. Last night Liam went to his second rally type thing in utero- crazy considering a year ago i had never even been to one! It is a sinking feeling to be welcoming a child into a world that you see going down hill. We have already signed up for enough debt that the next generation is screwed and there seems to be no end in sight to the spending... that all bothers me but the healthcare is just scary. he is coming into a world where very few people seem to feel the responsibility for themselves anymore and that is not the value i want instilled in my child (or the world i think he should have to deal with).

from the town hall last night my favorite line (that is of coarse not being covered in the main stream media) was by Hank Johnson (the congressman)- when someone expressed concerns over the cost of the plan- he stated that 99% of people would pay nothing for it- when the crowd jeered and asked how would it be paid for- he said TAXES! as if we are not the ones paying the taxes! honestly that was his responce. scary huh! i understand there is a need to fix some issues in regards to health care- but having a government run system (since they run everything else so well) is insane. oh the other bothersome thing about the rally was that a police officer was telling my Dad that it was stagged- the officer had seated all the supporters before we were even allowed in the door (disgused as Dekalb county employees were given priority seating)- therefore the room was full and the rest of us were put in a seperate over flow room...

okay i have vented enough...

so on the liam and family front everything is going well. he is now 33 weeks- which means 7 to go! the nice thing is we get to start preparing more in the next couple weeks by getting the car seats installed and packing for the hospital- so all that will be fun. of coarse we are hoping he stays his full time inside- but just in case it will be nice to be prepared (and of coarse i am now anxious so it is good to have something to do with my time baby related). i am getting a little more anxious about the whole birthing process- and honestly i think the needle in my spine is scaring me most since right now in the way back of my mind i am thinking about going natural. of coarse i fully expect that first contraction to send me running to the hospital begging for the spine needle!
