TGIF

Finally, it is Friday and I am soooooo happy. It will be so nice to get to have Jamie around for a few days and help me out. And after today, I really need the help. I had a rough day. Started out good and I felt fine, but at about 11:00am I went to do some laundry and as I was moving the stuff from the washer into the dryer, I started to feel really dizzy and like I could pass out. I went and laid down for a bit to see if it would help. I was feeling a little better and wanted to get the laundry done before Addy finished her bottle, so I got back up, started and it came back worse than before. So I checked my blood pressure and it was fine, but my pulse was in the 140's. I don't get why my pulse is always so high when I am pregnant. But that is high even compared to what it has been and I really wasn't doing anything. I mean, there is not alot of exertion is moving clothes from the washer to the dryer. I felt like my heart was going to burst right out of my chest.

And after that I just felt like crap the entire day. Luckily Addy slept a looooooooong time this afternoon after having slept in late, so I got to lay down and even was able to fall asleep once my sciatica calmed down. I haven't had any problems with my sciatica in probably close to a month, but today it came back with a vengeance. But after laying down and switching positions and tossing and turning and cursing for about an hour, it calmed down enough that I could relax and fall asleep.

Today Jamie's car also had a little incident. I hate when new cars break down. He was on his way to work and he said about 10 minutes out the heater crapped out on him, and when he got to work and tried to see if he could figure out what was wrong, all the antifreeze was gone. So maybe a hose blew or something? I don't know. Fortunately we have roadside assistance so he had it towed and it is sitting in St. Paul waiting for them to take a look at it.

Tomorrow is going to be a busy day because we have to take the Torrent into Veg for an oil change for 9:00am, and then I have some shopping to do and then, if all goes well, we will get to drive all the way to St. Paul to pick up the car. So I imagine I will be exhausted by this time tomorrow.

And then Sunday is my birthday. We're having a little dinner thing at my mom's. Nothing big, just enough so we can say we celebrated. That's all I wanted and Jamie and Mom were happy with that.

Monday I see the doctor again. I have to go to the hospital first for an NST and then over to the clinic from there. Hopefully everything still looks good and we can continue with the plan for the c-section on February 6th. Only 19 days to go!
