MILESTONE DAYS.

Wow.  I haven't posted since last MILESTONE DAY.  That makes me sad.  And curious as to what I'm doing with my life all the time.  Oh.  Let me think. . . . I went grocery shopping, I bought a pair of shoes (for my newly over-sized feet - THANK YOU, RELAXIN!), I had a donut date with My Manda (sweet Apple Fritters of love), and I had a my weekly shot and OB appointment.

As you know, the next several weeks bring weekly appointments.  Next week's appointment will boast yet another anatomy scan of the baby.  Our OB is pretty sure we are actually 25 weeks this Wednesday instead of 23 weeks today.  We'll get to the bottom of this madness.

So, onto more . . . pressing stuff.

I am sad.  The last three nights, I have had the worst nightmares.  One featured my dead father and me - arguing.  Not the best time.  Likely, the stress of the Hub being out of permanent work and today being the start of my 23rd week is taking its toll. 

Mira was born and died when I was 23w1d.  It was a Tuesday. 

To make this joy-fest even better, the Hub is working days with his Dad's company out of town.  This is very similar to what happened last September when I started labor and had to call him from the hospital to have him rush home.

I think we are both feeling a little anxious about this week.  But, I'm also feeling strong and really good (sans the noticeable lack of sleep.) 

In order to get me through this week, here are a few things I am looking forward to:

*  Seeing out of town co-workers and friends for the next three days at our conference

*  Taking a deep breath when I get the Hub added to my insurance on Wednesday

*  Seeing my SIL's pretty face after her successful surgery on Friday (to remove a noggin tumor)

*  Paying off my Discover Card (does this count if I do this every two weeks?)

*  Accruing another day towards my maternity leave (man, I am stretching on some of these)

*  Feeling every awesome kick and punch that this baby has to dole out.


Yah.
