I'm On Vacation
So I came home yesterday from work and told Troy I simply couldn't go back. I'd felt tired, nauseous, and generally icky all day long. We decided I should call my backup substitute and have her start for me today. So I stayed in bed an extra two hours this morning, started a load of laundry, and am now indulging in time online. I do need to head upstairs and put the nursery back together. We had the carpets professionally cleaned yesterday, as well as the couch and my orange chair. We moved most of the stuff out of the nursery so the floors could be cleaned really well.
I'm going to read and do other quiet, restful things in between taking care of some things around the house. I have an appointment with Dr. "Nothing's Wrong, You're Just Pregnant" Wheelock at 3 pm today, with an ultrasound to see how big Grant is these days. Will he say induce or will he tell me to come home and suck it up for awhile longer?
Today I learned that some guy rode for four miles at fifty miles per hour in his wheelchair after the handles got stuck in the grille of a big rig. They said he was bummed that he'd spilled his soda, but was otherwise fine. Wow.

Long Time, No Post
Sorry its been awhile. I think I'm avoiding any new forms of complaining. I feel like such a whiner. Grant has decided he's going to single-handedly teach me a lesson in patience.
The doctor says I'm progressing well. We'll leave it at that.
We spent the weekend hanging out and doing some things around the house. We got some pictures framed recently, so we were rearranging the art in the kitchen and living room to accommodate the new pieces. I think it looks really good.
Relay for Life was Friday/Saturday. We walked for an hour Friday night. The event went really well- my team raised over two thousand dollars. I wanted to stay overnight, but Troy and Rachel (our doula) convinced me that I'd be very unhappy if I didn't get enough sleep and then went into labor. I allowed myself to be convinced.
Henry is a happy, healthy puppy again.
Troy has discovered longboarding, a form of skateboarding. I hope I can survive another one of his hobbies.
Today I learned that Heely's- the stupid shoes with a wheel in the heel that I hate- are causing a sharp rise in childhood injuries. I was nearly run over several times at the mall last weekend by kids who had them on. And I even beep when I back up.
