Today, I'm feeling better. Physically - I slept very well last night, thanks to the Vicodin. While I don't necessarily LOVE the fact that I'm taking a strong narcotic, at least it's one that doesn't give me the crazies. And yes, it's safe, which I know in my head although I freely admit to prodding my stomach this morning to make damn sure baby was still kicking around. In return for this rude awakening s/he has been moving non-stop ever since. I feel like I have more freedom of movement today, although I've taken it very, very easy. My one trip out of the house today was this morning - I forced myself to return two DVDs, and then I thought if I had to be in my house for ONE MORE MINUTE without any fruit to eat, I'd go nuts. So I went to the grocery store and bought cantaloupe, blueberries, apples, and bananas. (And okay, fine, a Reese's PB Cup, too. Whatever.) I started feeling the bad pain on the way home, and so I got here, cut up the cantaloupe and then laid down on the couch to eat some of that and some of the berries. And the peanut butter cup.
Emotionally - As the wise K suggested, I'm putting off thoughts of what this condition will mean for the birth until I can better think it through. And thanks again to the rest of you who've been so kind in your comments. I do feel more focused today, which is nice.
And so, I present some photos of other things that are nice:
It's nice to ride your first big boy bike!
It's nice to have the birthday cake you asked for.
I mean, seriously - have you ever seen anything so nice as this?(the only possible way to make this nicer would be to have the corn
picked and bought TODAY from here, and cover it with butter,
and for it ALL to be mine.)
And, YAY! Birthdays are SO, SO nice! Happy 6th, ANNA!

I am glad you are feeling better!
Happy Birthday, Henry!
I'm so glad you're feeling a little better! I hope it continues. And that cake looks fabulous. If I was 4, I'd be sooo psyched.
As for the corn, we had some the other day, and I think it's still too early around here -- it looked great, but it tasted undercooked, even though we cooked it longer than usual. And I had really been looking forward to it.
hi! i'm catching up on the posts- i'm so sorry about your discomfort! i totally understand about not wanting to complain and not wanting to take meds, but you have to do those things sometimes! i hope you feel good and the pain subsides. i know you're thinking about your birthing options and that you still have some time left of this pregnancy- but everything will turn out how it's supposed to. just have faith! :) take care!!!!
