Long Day...Longer Days ahead...

Pregnancy craving today: Sugar...was satisfied by two, yes two, doughnuts this morning, and 3 cups of chocolate milk, and a big cookie with a coke this afternoon (geez don't tell my dr., being that I am pre-diabetic)

Inspirational Thought of the Day: "Often times I have been driven to my knees because I had nowhere else to go." -Abraham Lincoln



So today was a long hard day. I know that I still have 1 1/2 months to go with this pregnancy but I feel like this baby boy gained 3 lbs in the last two days (I'm sure my sugar rush had nothing to do with it.!), I ran my butt off at work yesterday, a long 10 hour day dealing with grumpy old men, and witchy women with chronic UTI's is not helping at all! I am scheduled to work my last day on August 10th, let's just pray I make it that far. I guess I should be grateful I'm only doing 30 hours per work vs the 45 per week I worked when pregnant with Quinton. Bryan's being so nice about just letting me be lazy and such but how much can I take.? I hope that by end of July first of August I'll get that "nesting" surge and things can get a little more back to "normal." I'm getting a bit anxious for this little one. Because of some personal dramas in my life, and trying to overcome much depression and anxiety I feel that this little boy is my little miracle. It wasn't coincedental the timing of my getting pregnant, and though for many weeks we, and many others, were convinced this was our little girl, I feel so much peace knowing this is another little guy. He obviously has much to offer to our little family and cannot wait to see what talents he'll possess, joys he'll bring and more. I keep praying for a dark haired little Bryan look-a-like but I guess we'll see. Only 57 days to go! Eek!

Dave tells me that the reason I have had this migraine since January is because I have some "Hero" ability and that I need to figure it out what it is and once I do, I will feel much better. I don't necessarily agree with him on that level, but I do agree with you that it could be linked with the unusual gifts from our Father in Heaven. Anyway, I just want this migraine to GO AWAY!

Now,let me give some encouragement from a mom who had a kid in July. When I was pregnant with Jeremy, I was bedridden the last month of my pregnancy and to make matters worse, I could only lay on my left side. Also, we had NO, that's right NO, air conditioning in our house at that time. We had these two LITTLE air conditioning window units. One in the bedroom and one in the family room, so to be comfortable, you had to be right in front of it to be cooled off. Boy, was I was miserable! So, girl hang in there. You are a strong, wonderful person that I love and admire completely and I know that you can do it, because you will be a wonderful Mom to this one as you are to Quinton!
