I guess I feel a little like Kermit these days. The past couple weeks have been a little rough. I came to a point this week where I was officially overwhelmed...not a nice feeling! My recent pains have turned out to be an inflammation of my gallbladder! Just about the last thing I was expecting. Been having these pains for weeks maybe months now and chalked them up to normal growing pains or a pulled muscle. After having some tests, the good news was that I don't have gallstones but the bad news is that it's inflamed and most likely contains sludge which could at anytime develop into stones. So I'm stuck with pains after I eat....just something I have to live with for now. I also have to live with the IRS. Awww, we got auditted! Another big stressor that happened this week. So between my gallbladder and the IRS my patience were gone and was left feeling depressed and overwhelmed. BUT, I'm picking up my pieces and putting myself back together one straw at a time and know I'll find the strength, like I usually do, to get through this.
My belly continues to grow and I continue to feel him kick! It's a strange and beautiful sensation! I felt my first kick a few weeks ago after a yoga class. It was a divine moment that could not have fit better. After about an hour of yoga we were doing our post yoga meditation...so while I'm lying on my back simply relaxing with a quite mind I feel him kick. It was a very special moment and one that left my heart smiling. I do think something special happened at that moment and a bond started that's hard to describe.
Last weekend, Mike and I went to visit Kristie and Dave in Richmond. We had a great visit with some great friends. We got to meet their latest addition to the family, Sean. Sean, is a blonde haired blue eyed sweetie with a even temperament. We would be so lucky to have our little boy that cool. We also got to see their 2 year old, Hannah. Hannah, is an adorable vivacious little girl with lots of curly blond hair and tall! Not too surprising with two tall parents. I wish we had taken some pictures to share...forgot the camera this trip. It was great to see them and great to see how a happy healthy family operates with a newborn and a toddler. They are GREAT parents and have this parenting stuff down...they make it look easy but I know it's not! We were so lucky to inherit tons of baby clothes too! Thanks Kristie and Dave!
Yesterday, I went to another baby shower...second shower this month. Perfect timing, I've learned so much from just these baby showers. There's so much more to a baby than just onesies and diapers. Gaiya had a wonderful baby shower where she got all of the cutest girl clothes that exist in this world. This girl will be the best dressed baby there is, no doubt. It was great to see college friends I haven't seen in a long time and local friends I don't get see enough. Afterwards, came home and dug through another pile of receipts...ugggh. This tax stuff is going to be messy.
