Days of Grace 2-12-10
1. Today’s a rough day for me – my very first, “what could possibly go wrong?” due date to which I gave my whole heart as soon as I saw those two lines. I think that February 12 will always be rough for me, though. Honestly, I’ve tried really hard to let my other due dates go by without taking notice, but this one’s different. This was the first. But gratefulness. I’m pregnant. And even though it’s the week of doom, and the anniversary of what should have been the best day of my life, it is miraculous and wonderful to be pregnant and I am terrifically grateful. Even when the happy seems near to being drowned out by the terror.
2. Milk. I always like to drink milk – real milk. None of yer blue, chalky skim milk, give me the whole fat stuff that sticks to the glass like I’m drinking butter. So milk is always good. But these days? I could exist on milk. I could drink it all day long.
3. Spotting is back to intermittant. Small favors, since Wednesday was pretty bad. I’ll take it.
4. Three day weekend coming up. I can use it. The crazy is full-on at work, (though the customers are not coming in to our new miniature space in the droves we expected. Thank heaven!) and I can use a break. The boy’s out of town this weekend, so I’ll have the house – and the kitchen! – to myself, and hope to get lots of writing, baking, and cooking done. What could be nicer to look forward to? Well, maybe the boy coming home on the 14th…
5. Cadbury Creme Eggs. (I’m so embarrassed!)
Cadbury Creme Eggs are what life is about. I literally can NOT walk by one at the drug store without buying two.
I’m the worst about those eggs. *love* them. I’m guessing you’ll find lots of anonymous Cadbury confessions here today…
Hang in there.
Remembering with you…
I love love Cadbury creme eggs. My birthday always falls around Easter and those are my little gifts to my self! Eat the eggs, enjoy and don’t worry!!!
Yes, due dates are hard, esp. when they coincide with scary moments in current pregnancies. I think your impulse to talk to that therapist again is a good one. Thinking of you.
And the Creme Eggs? I eat one a year. They’re so sickly sweet it’s worth it.
I have never had a cadbury cream egg…hmmm.
Hey, Cadbury Creme Eggs are AWESOME!
I am with you on the milk sista! Give me whole milk or nothin’ at all! I especially love whole organic milk…I don’t know why it tastes different, it just does. And it’s a beautiful, yummiful thing!
I have been enjoying milk so much and am adding whey protein powder to make it what we call in this household SUPERMILK! With twins, the MFM wants me to eat between 150-175 grams of protein per day. Sometimes I add some delicious Ovaltine. Just sending lots of support and love on this difficult day and through the next couple of weeks. Hope that some baking and writing adds a little happiness.
