Today’s adventure wasn’t really so much an adventure, except with the heart-pounding part of an adventure. I started having heart palpation type feelings last night, lasting into this evening. Fortunately, the after hours Dr. told me this was all totally normal–to drink more water and rest. I am grateful to her for giving me common sense advice without laughing at me. I ate dinner, pounded some (more) water, wrote an e-mail to my new Italian pen-pal, Domencio, and now I feel much better. The anxiety about what seemed to be an impending heart failure certainly wasn’t making my heart feel any better. Just some reassuring words (and more water) was what I needed.
Note to self: What I’d previously thought was a lot of water is about to seem insignificant–I really need to push myself on this!
In other news, nothing too major. I had some light spotting after some “quiet study time” with the mister-which, according to the internet, is normal, but may require that we do not “study” together for a little while. Not sure how I’m going to break that news to him just yet.
We’ve decided how we’re going to tell the Fam on Christmas eve–we’ve decided to pick out a baby book for each grandparent (and the uncle-to-be) and write a note, asking them to read it to the baby when it comes in 2012. They can all open them at the same time. and hopefully figure it out without too much confusion. (If we get a sonogram to include- that might help clarify for the slow-to-catch on.)
I just bought my first maternity wear–a Maternity Starter Kit from Forever 21. A.) I had no idea Forever 21 sold anything for non-junior types. B.) A maternity starter pack! Genius! C.) $11 and free shipping? What? Do they still think it’s cyber Monday?
Thanks to Hey Jen Renee, my co-hort in pregnancy and love of key-lime ice cream, for that heads up.
Note to teenie-weenie: Today we made a deal. I told you that I am totally ok with putting up with any degree of pain while sneezing, chest pain, heart burn…whatever you can throw at me. Your job is just to come out ok eventually. Deal? Deal.
It's a little Teenie Weenie
