OK. Truth time: doing the long-distance marriage thing really stinks. Wait, let me re-phrase: doing the long-distance marriage thing and being newly pregnant really stinks. PTL for Skype, y'all. Luckily, Sean and I have been able to talk pretty much every night, but I still miss him. Tomorrow we're meeting up in Chicago to attend a friend's wedding over the weekend. Super excited!! We're staying with one of our favorite couples and will surely have an amazing time.
Feeling really thankful today, despite realizing that we are seriously living on the edge financially. Most of our debt is in school at the moment, but it still hangs over my head, wondering how the heck we're going to afford doctor's appointments and all the things you have to buy for a baby. The "things" buying part could be a really slippery slope for me... I mean, I went nuts when my sister was pregnant. Every time I saw something cute, I had.to.have.it. Also, while traveling for work over the last year, I may or may not have bought children's books as souvenirs. [Cough, cough.]
Anyway, can't worry about what's already in motion, right? Sean told me tonight that he'd really like to come out to DC in June for our first doctor's appointment. I am sooooo excited about that. Luckily, I have enough airline miles, so hopefully he'll be able to find a decent ticket, for free!
The last couple of days I've been feeling... Emotionally: stable and a little energetic. Physically: sleepy around 4:30PM, sore balloons (as my Memaw used to call them), sweaty, & intermittently crampy- but not on one side or anything, believe me- I've been googling whether or not it's normal. Awesome, huh? Bet you wanted to know all those details. [Sorry if it's TMI- I'm writing this to myself at the moment, more for my own memory.]
Speaking of memory! I think I might be starting to develop that "pregnancy brain" thing. I mean, seriously, you should see me in meetings at work- I sound ridiculous. I've had to pause on more than two, three, OK, maybe five occasions over the last two days and ask for forgiveness from my colleagues.
