I really need to learn to pace myself. It seems I am waking up with more energy than I have and so I throw myself into work. Then my energy wanes, real fast. I had a stack of clothes to iron. I've been standing for about an hour doing that and when I sat down (that was my first mistake) I realized how tired I was. It seems I am not getting real good sleep. And there are only two things that help me to sleep, chamomile tea and well intimacy before bed. So if I just keep switching off and on between the two hubby shouldn't get worn out and I won't get an allergy to chamomile tea! I hope that wasn't TMI. But if I don't do one or the other I am awake all night it seems, I just can't get comfortable. And then I'm tired all day.
My ms, breast tenderness and exhaustion seem to be very gradually going away. Although I'll have days that are worse than others. And days that are better than others. I'm taking this as normal, right? I mean, I'm 10 weeks and gradual is good, right?

Brandy - I am so glad you are feeling better and YAY for free stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sarah - Cute pics!

I miss my cat. Really really miss her. It was heartbreaking to watch her leave. She knew something was up and hid. Jason had to get her out from behind the couch and I was the only oen who could get her in the cat carrier. I tried so hard not to cry, but the tears just washed down my face. The lady was really nice and gracious. She really seemed to find Abby beautiful and was excited to have her as her own. After they left I cried so hard I almost hyperventilated, but no need to get onto me - I picked myself up and just became numb. I know it was the right thing to do, but I had no idea just how much guilt I'd feel. I woke up in a panic wondering if Abby was scared with her first night in a strange home. And, then, of course, my MIL had to give me scenarios (even last night!) "Well, I sure hope her boyfriend likes her and doesn't leave the door open where she'll end up dead." Or, "Gee, I hope the boyfriend likes her and doesn't kick her and kill her." I was so mad at her last night I confronted her and just let her go. Yet, what if that DOES happen?
I know she's just a cat. I"m pretty sure I did the right thing logistically. I just wish the fear and guilt would go away. I'm sure it will with time. I just feel depressed today and really sad.
My job brought by their gift yesterday. Plus, they emailed everyone and told them they wre coming here so others added gifts with theirs. My job blessed us with a box of 200 #3 diapers and two huge boxes of baby wipes - 720 in each box! Plus, a big bottle of baby wash, lotion, and something else. The rest were lots of very very cute boy clothes, a book, and a homemade blanket from a coworker. It's beautiful. I sat on the floor opening the gifts and cried. They really hurt my feelings and I'm glad they came through in the end.
I am still hanging in there. Nothing new to report on the contractions or breathing. Still 2-5 min apart, i can definitely breath better, my hemmy's are what they are. I think the only new thing is the backache.
Jadon has 1 week and 8 hours where he must remain in his mommies tummy. lol
I hope ya'll have a great weekend. Enjoy the sun for me, if you can. Today is a day I'd love to go visit a cemetery and see the beauty that only a cemetery has.

Janine- I'd come help you too! Unfortunately, hard to do from cyber world  We had to rehome a dog when Eleni was a toddler- it was hard at first too (she was NOT good with toddlers- she never bit, but she kept growling, and since we knew this was not our last toddler, we decided to rehome her- she ended up with my brothers best friends family and they SPOIL her. I told them to expect a rough transtion, she might not play for a week, etc.- she played the second they got her home, never had an accident, sleeps with their daughter- she was great with preschoolers and babies and kids, just not the unsteady toddlers- Mandy is now in the perfect home for her, better than we could give her. God lead you to the right person for your cat, just trust in that. Perhaps next week you can call and check in on her? I bet she is doing great!

Weird, yes. Humbling, yes. But I'm sure you know people who would love to help you and they're just not sure what you need. You have to take that step and let them know how they can help.
And then someday, when you know someone else could probably use some help (just had surgery, an older person who's been weak/sick, new mom, or mom-to-be on bedrest), you'll know to ask if they could use help with just those same things.
Christians are a family and we are to take care of each other. Sometimes that means you're on the giving end, and sometimes on the receiving end.

I dunno way, but it just feels awkward and wrong to ask someone to do basic cleaning in your house. I know that's dumb, but i struggle with that aspect a great deal.
I guess it comes down to which feels worse to you: seeing and thinking (and obsessing?) about it all not being done, or feeling a bit awkward/wrong about asking. I would guess that once you'd got over the initial awkward feeling, you'd actually be glad, relieved and less stressed. And surely, your best chance of keeping Jadon in there for another 8 days+ is to be less stressed.
The other thing that occurs to me is this: please don't deprive your dear friends there the chance of being a blessing to you. It will bless them to bless you, to be able to think of themselves as an answer to prayer. Don't you think that if they knew you were in need and hadn't felt able to ask, that they might feel bad about it? I certainly would, if someone I cared about needed help and didn't feel able to ask me.
