Ander Learns To Spell

Despite our best efforts, he has not learned to spell A-n-d-e-r or T-i-g-e-r-s. But he's mastered the proper spelling - and usage - of the word "brat."
LOL.

Stupid E-mail

I pay for my e-mail program through Go Daddy. This is important, since I am a professional and need my e-mail to arrive when and where it is supposed to.

You know that junk mail you get from the "Prince of Albania" asking for your assistance and overseas bank account? My e-mail is usually great about getting those e-mails to my spam folder.

Except today, when it didn't.

Why did one e-mail get through, when none of the others did?

Anyway, I've "spam analyzed" it, so hopefully my e-mail learned something. We shall see.

There's Still A Heartbeat

I am one exhausted mommy. The sharp back pains continued throughout the night (and, in fact, are still continuing, although Tylenol at least let me sleep some). The doctor let Ander hear the heartbeat. His eyes got wide...and he said, "that baby in mommy's tummy." He he. My doctor was really nice to him.

The sharp pain is more likely a muscle than a kidney, which is great news for my health and the pregnancy, but sucky news pain-wise, as there's little they can do. I'm to do physical therapy, take it easy, and have Tylenol. He offered harder stuff, but in my line of work, you only take harder stuff if you need to. ;) I do have a few other little problems, so I am off (after Ander let me sleep for 1 1/2 hours..."don't worry, Mommy, I watch Superwhy") to fill my script.

My sister had her first appointment, at 11 weeks, and brought home pictures from the sonogram. We met up for lunch (because her husband had to go back to school after the appointment) and then went to my BIL's hospital room with food for him and my sister, because he had surgery on his neck this morning. He's feeling fine.

Spent The Day NOT At Work

I felt great when I woke up. I actually didn't puke. Today's the day I check my blood sugar, so I couldn't eat until I found my blood sugar machine. I couldn't find it anywhere. Eventually, I did, but in the rush to find it so I could eat, I must have set my cell phone down. I ended up at the office without it. Also, I ended up not eating.

That was fine. I missed 8 calls during the day (and have avoided checking voicemail ever since).

But I still hadn't eaten. And I couldn't. I started to have tightness that felt like contractions, only without the uncontracting part. Then, at 10 a.m., I spontaneously threw up. Now, I've been tossing cookies almost daily...but not like this. This was sudden and without the green of pregnancy.

By 2 p.m., the pain in my back had become a stabbing pain. Like a knife in my lower back. Plus, other symptoms started, like peeing and burning. Fun.

I really would have went to the hospital, but I see my doctor at 10 a.m. And the last time I thought I had a bladder or kidney infection (I'm afraid it's probably kidney-related), the doc said, "no, you're just pregnant."

So I sat at my mom's, almost crying and grabbing my back. I feel like crap. Tomorrow, I'd better get drugs for this. ;)
