I needed to take a bit off of writing to gain my inspiration back. For reasons that I won't go in to, I had a tough day on Friday. Then Saturday Jesse and I attended the funeral service of a great friends' father. That was the saddest loss of my adult life. To see a young family, a young woman, lose their father was devastating. I felt a huge surge of empathy and cried with our friend for a bit...I think if I were to see her tomorrow I would probably cry with her again. I was a bit over emotional last week.
On the bright side, we did have a great lunch with the in-laws - delicious pizza and salad! Of course I'm just realizing that I should have avoided the feta cheese like the plague! Jesse and I also hit up Acapulco's and brought with us an internet coupon that we got about a week or so ago - we paid $12.50 and got a gift certificate for $25. Yay for savings!
Sunday I woke up in pain. I tend to exaggerate...and be a hypochondriac...I can admit to both of those, but I was legitimately in pain. It hurt when I got out of bed, it hurt when I moved my right leg, it hurt when I got up, it hurt when I laid down...it only stopped hurting when I stayed in the same position for a few minutes and didn't move! It especially hurt when I went to the bathroom (sorry for the TMI, Josh). I began my day brushing it off as round ligament pain. I ended my day convinced that I had a UTI. I couldn't call out of work this morning because I had things that needed to be done in order for my students to be productive (like prescribe data sheets). So I went to bed dreading going to work with the pain.
However, I woke up today and the pain was just a dull ache (baby just kicked). I tentatively went to the bathroom and was relieved that it didn't absolutely hurt. The pain did not return - however I did call my doctor as a just in case (you know, I'm a worst case scenario thinker so maybe the placenta had detached from the uterine wall...that of course was my thought process). I went in late this morning and did some lab work. The results are still not in - but I'm back to thinking it was just round ligament pain and that maybe the uterus changed position. I wonder if I look differently...?
After work, Jesse and I stopped at Target and picked up an outfit for the baby. Really we stopped by and picked up his hair gel and some chocolate for his class, but we walked by the aisle that has New England sports paraphernalia and there were onesies...so we got one :) really, we got three (it was a set).
Oh, and I guess the really big news is the gender of the baby...well, first I'll share some of the newest pictures of the baby:
