Downs:
- I couldn't jump up on the tail gate of Adam's truck yesterday, in public, to sit. I tried and looked like the silly puppy that's too uncoordinated to jump on a pillow straight. Made me cry.
- Speaking of crying, I've cried twice in about 18 hours...for stuff I wouldn't ordinarily cry about. Such as not making it up on a tail gate. Or Adam asking me to not tell him the same thing 4 times (which I wondered why I was doing it as I was saying it the 4th time...). I guess the emotional button has been temporarily (hopefully) turned on. Anyone know where the "off" button is on that one?
- I woke up at 4am early Saturday morning to roll over (much more laborius now) and realized I might as well get up to use the bathroom. So I get back, stretch out, and it happens. Let me back up first - usually when I stretch like this, I point my toes and just before I get some major cramping I pull my toes toward my shins and don't get the cramp. Well, last night I didn't pull back fast enough on my right foot and before I knew what hit me, my right calf was in full on cramp mode (which of course hurt like he!!) and I could NOT make it stop to save my life. So as I'm yelling, I whack Adam awake and tell him my right leg won't let go! Help me! Pull my toes up!! It hurts it hurts! So as he's still waking up (he's a trooper and amazing while half asleep) he grabs my foot and pulls it up which gets me out of the cramp in about 4-5 seconds...but wow. That really hurt. Then Adam finally gets fully awake and thanks me for scaring the crap out of him. I in turn thank him for taking me out of my agony so quickly and give him a re-kiss goodnight. My calf was still pretty sore today and it took me a while to walk on my whole foot instead of my toes this morning. Yikes! I really really hope that doesn't happen when he's traveling next week. So I drank extra milk and water and got some bananas from the store. Potassium and fluids...hopefully it does the trick.
- Our friends had their baby, Joe III, yesterday!! I posted about it but it was still super great b/c we got to meet him today when he was about 19 hours old. Casey looked amazing for having just given birth and we were amazed to hear that Joe (who recently graduated with his RN degree) got to deliver his son. They were so happy and we left with light hearts and smiles and can't wait for it to be our turn - once she's done "baking," that is.
- I made a ton of Amish Friendship Bread this afternoon/evening which went right to the freezer for when we have visitors and helpers once the baby gets here. Even better - the kitchen is relatively clean afterwards. :)
- I had my first ever prenatal massage today. It was a mother's day gift from Adam and the baby and I plan to get the pedicure that went with it Monday (they couldn't squeeze them both in on short notice and I was too excited to wait). The only thing I was sad about was that they didn't have the kind of table where there is a belly hole and I could actually lie on my stomach. But a massage that lasted just over an hour on my sides was JUST fine and felt so good. The baby was quiet during the whole thing except for one foot or fist that went across almost 1/2 my belly. SO relaxing. :)
- I'm starting to get less hungry now. Well, quantity wise. I ate a bunch of take-out food the past day and a half so we've been back on the healthy bandwagon since supper tonight and it's going to last several days if not at least a week. We can't be eating like that and still have a decent preggo bod. :)
- I'm finally going to bed now. Instead of waiting awake for Adam to get home from his bachelor party outing with Jason and the boys (Jason's wedding is at the end of Sept if you don't know), I'm going to wait in bed, asleep. :) And I can't believe it but I think 8 of them piled in to our 7-seater Highlander...which really should only fit about 6 adults. Must look like a clown car when they all get out...g'night....zzzzzzzzz...
