Morning Laughs

Since Stew and I started dating - he has always left work before I was even awake. When I still lived at home - and he had his condo, I'd stay over some nights. He would always leave me a note in the morning on the kitchen table. That was 6 years ago. The "tradition" still lives on today. I go downstairs every morning and the first thing I do is read my note. Sometimes it's a simple "Have a good day - I love you"...others it's more detailed, like what Nate did (ate, went out...and so on). Well, as I may have mentioned, I've had some pretty bad sciatica and lower back pain lately...on Monday, it was so bad - I had a hard time walking. So Stew knows that for the past few days, I haven't been very comfortable. I had my 36 week check up appointment today - which I knew was going to involve my Group B Strep test and my first "exam" - I was a little nervous, so Stew wrote me a nice note...I get to just about the last sentence and see this...

Yes! That line reads "Hope you are in pain." I honestly couldn't stop laughing. I knew that he meant he hoped I WASN'T in pain...but just reading it makes me laugh...every time I looked at it over breakfast I just laughed. I took this picture and texted him that he was mean. HA HA HA! I love him so much!

After a good laugh over breakfast, I was off to my Doctor appointment. I did a lot during this appointment. Weight, urine check, blood pressure, filled out a questionnaire to see if I had signs of postpartum depression, was given a Group B Strep test (yuck) and had an exam. I am not dilated, but my cervix is thinning out. All looks good. She estimated his weight at 6lbs 3oz right now.

I discussed a few of my aches and pains - and all are normal, which I knew they would be - but it's nice to hear. I will be seeing my Dr every week now - a milestone of sorts. My next appointment is Tuesday. I am officially up 31 lbs.



A snow storm is coming into New England on Friday...not just a mix...but SNOW. Great! Hope you all are having a great week.
