Middle of the Week

First midwife appointment today. I usually get nervous about things like doctor's appointments, even when they are quite simple, but I'm not too nervous today. That could be A) I feel more confidence in going to a midwife than a doctor; B) I've been waiting to see a medical person besides my ultrasound tech for so long that I'm just relieved to finally have an appointment; C) Bug's screaming and my exhaustion have dulled me enough that I can't feel excitement or apprehension about anything.

In other news, Bug is slowly starting to improve. Right now we're watching an old Canadian Nationals (skating, of course), and she's dancing to Bourne and Kraatz's Free Dance music while she eats breakfast in her high chair. She's also much more inclined to smile this morning than she has been the last few days, and the cough is nowhere near as bad. (Incidentally, this is my least favorite routine ever of Shae and Vic's, so I'm surprised Bug is enjoying it as much as she is.) I'm sure the screaming will continue until these next four teeth pop through, but hopefully, if the cold goes away, it won't be as bad.

As for me--yesterday I pretty much reached the end of my rope emotionally, but by God's grace I made it through and am starting to feel marginally better today. Hopefully these next three months will fly by and it will seem like no time until Little Bug is out and the pregnancy hormones are gone!

hope it goes well...i can't imagine dealing with all that right now! only 3 months more, you can make it! (and think how nice it will be to not be pregnant in the summer!) some day, when you feel like not doing housework, can you snap a few pics of your gorgeous house for a colonial fan? :)

word of the day (wotd): ovelmed. the medicinal version of Ovaltine, obviously!

I keep forgetting you're not friends with my dad on facebook--he's actually got some nice outside shots of our house. I'll have to tag them with my name so you can see them :)

The other option for ovelmed would be the abbreviated term for what I feel most days: overwhelmed!
