Bumblebee and I had our 29 week check up today and officially started the fun of bi-monthly appointments. To kick the party off, we embarked on the strange physical adventure of a blood sugar test. It was just us, an orange drink similar to orange soda but four times as potent, and the clock slowly ticking down the hour until some semblance of normal food could be ingested to help combat the dizziness, headache, and nausea that one tiny container of orange drink had delivered.
Our good friends - Guy and Ali - believe that baby gives me some kind of superhuman abilities. Abilities that never choose to show themselves at appropriate times like getting out of bed in the morning, bending to pick things up, etc. and tend to favor times involving Yahtzee! or Settlers of Catan. So I suppose it was my own sense of disillusionment that led me to believe that today was The Day. Today my unborn child and I were going to coexist in (my) one body no matter what natural forces pressed down upon us.
Today was not the day. Today was a day. A day of many things. Not a day of harmony. But. Things. So I was pleasantly surprised to see an e-mail from the man that made all of these things possible, sharing a happy memory that makes a pretty picture that I thought might make one of you smile. 'Cause it sure worked its charm on me.
My dear, the picture is truly fantastic! and so are you. Why, oh why, don't you begin writing? I love your words.
ReplyDeleteI have now typed two different efforts of trying to say something other than what Tina has said, but I can't fight it anymore. I feel exactly the same as she. :)
