Days of Grace 5-12-10
1. I’m starting to feel ok about the layoff. Hey – having August & September to do baby-gettin-ready-for things will be sort of cool, plus who wants to be working while hugely pregnant in a non-airconditioned building? This could be a very nice thing for me, I’m thinking. Cross stitching 16 hours a day…
2. My last (I hope!) endocrinologist’s appointment today. This is a good thing. He’s a nice enough guy, but I’m getting tired of knowing so many receptionists by name…
3. Dog slept quite nicely last night without too much kicking, shoving or gouging with her long, long toenails.
We so need a king-sized bed.
4. The mystery plants growing in my flowerbed do NOT appear to be daisies after all, since they’re pushing 3 feet at this point, with no sign of getting ready to burst into flower. At this point, I’m keeping ‘em around out of a morbid curiosity, but I’m pretty sure they’re going to take over the backyard (and I have a weakness for aggressive plants.)
5. Apples in any form don’t seem to be doing much for my acid reflux, but they’re alleviating other unpleasant pregnancy symptoms quite nicely.
The king bed saved my (and my husband’s) sanity during the last months of pregnancy…honestly, you will be like a weeble wobble trying to get out of bed…and rolling over – you will need a small army to help you…
haha i’m not even pregnant and my dogs have taken over our king size bed!! i thought the 15lb terrier who growls when disturbed was bad enough… add to it a 50lb, 6 month lab puppy?? i might as well just give up
I’m dying to see what those plants are. Can you put up a pic?
As long as you’re not that upset about it, I’m actually really happy for you about the layoff. I have to admit that when I went out on bedrest at 28 weeks, despite my crippling anxiety about what was going on with the pregnancy/our health, it was actually a relief as I was starting to become very uncomfortable and absolutely exhausted at the end of the day. Despite my stir craziness I felt more rested than I had in years…I hope the layoff will be an unexpected gift for you too.
