This is bound to earn me atleast one negative comment, but I'm ok with that. So today was the big day; the ultrasound. If you follow me regularly, you probably could guess the gender. In case you don't, the hour long process revealed that we're having another boy. Michelle almost cried. She wanted to have a lil girl. Being that I'm committed to going under the knife after this one, that is it. I text than call Ray later and he provides my first critique. He says, "you should be happy because there are some people who wish they could have just one. Now you got 2 lil boys. Should make the most of it" I still lament and we end our conversation shortly thereafter. Yeah, we'll love the kid all the same. Still, would've been nice for Michelle to have her lil girl to dress up.

In other news, I'm looking for my first "real job" to pay for all of this. I'm hoping to make around 3k a month. My biggest selling point being my degree in psychology. I also have several years as an instructional aide and a peer tutor, though I no longer do either. I've mostly applied for positions at UC Davis. God knows monster.com and careerbuilder suck badly. Most of the positions I've applied for don't need a degree per se but seems to be a preferred qualification. They also prize working with a diverse group of people; something one should be able to do (and experience I have) if you're working in California. You run into everything from butch lesbians, to devout christians, to foreigners to your typical fraternity type guy. Each requires the ability to adjust to their mindset, intelligence and abilities. I think my education has helped me understand where each is coming from and where they want to go. I think that people who lack psychological training and experience can adjust to them too but I think they are more prone to be judgmental and lack patience for people who are very different from themselves. (too often do I hear people bellyaching about people who are so stupid, when they themselves have lacked some basic sense in other areas in their lives) So yeah...most of the jobs deal with being a coordinator of some sort. (a bit of a reach for me being that I haven't directly coordinating anything) The actual job descriptions don't sound too hard; just dressed up titles. I do admit though, I like the the sound of it though. Hopefully I will get one...

Finally, lil tinoz recently celebrated his first birthday on the 28th of April. Initially, me and my mom were gonna plan something. However, my mom decided to spontaneously plan it on the 19th and told me around 2 hours before the event and said that we didn't have to go. Michelle was angry because she wanted to plan the event and felt that it was absurd that we wouldn't be there for the event. My mom said on the phone that we'd just go to the place (incredible johns) and not celebrate the birthday. Yet, it became quite clear that it was a planned party when my mom's friend showed up talking about feeling sad because she forgot her camera and candles at home. That wasn't as big as what happened on the 25th. Michelle wanted to get the baby from my mom's (he usually goes there on the weekends) and apprantly they got into a dispute. Blah blah blah, there was no way there was gonna be a party. However, we still celebrated here at home with him. Here's one pic:

The rest could be seen at click It was just me, Michelle and tino. It was still good times.
