1.  Cool outside like it hasn’t been in a long time.  I understand this is supposed to last through tomorrow.  I’ll take whatever we can get – I needed this temperature break.

2.  Just took the dog for a walk – the first time in several weeks.  It felt really good to do something normal and fun and for someone else.

3.  OB appointment went well, and from here on out I go in every 2 weeks.  Things are amping up, which is sort of exciting.

4.  SuperstarOB was, once again, supportive of my decision to go to Italy.  He also said that he would recommend a glass of wine with dinner every night while there to lessen the chance of pre-term labor.  I laughed, dutifully, and he turned to me and said “I’m serious.  We used to give it to pre-terms who were hospitalized, back when insurance companies didn’t rule the world.  Wine is an excellent muscle relaxant and can stop pre-term contractions nicely.”

Um, if you insist!

5.  Hamburger for dinner last night – I’ve never been a burger fan, but these days I’m so desperate for red meat, and NOT for charred steak (I’m a rare meat girl) that a juicy (albeit, well-done) hamburger ground up by our butcher & cooked up by the Boy suits me nicely.  Plus he gave me spinach.  My red blood cells are singing arias today.  Iron!  All that Iron!
