Okay mom (and everyone else) I must say I was far too busy to write. I mean, I could have, but it would have been very short and unmeaningful. So here I am having to catch up four days worth of stuff! Friday evening my friend and I left from CO to SD so I could attend my nephew's high school graduation. I surprised the family and they were super excited to see me. Saturday morning was graduation on a rainy day, (Seattle follows me everywhere!) Then we had the after party which was long and tiring because, the night before I was attacked all night by three adorable kittens, who have claws like razors and wouldn't let me sleep! A family friend walked up to me at this party and did not ask but told me that I am pregnant! Crazy! Later I find out she thought this instantly at graduation because apparently I look better than I ever have. ( I must have an early glow!) Sunday I spent the morning/afternoon with my in laws, going to church and having lunch. My mother-in-law kept saying she is glad to see I am eating more, because that way I can get pregnant and have babies. So, at lunch for the last time hearing that I finally looked at her and said, "Well actually, I am not eating to get pregnant, because, I already am!" So of course they were thrilled and she cried. Then, oddly enough, my friend who I traveled with also ended up at the same restaurant with her family so I walked over to her mom and told her that I too, am pregnant! So then, the mom in law and the mom of my friend hugged and cried together so excited to be Grandmas. Just wait till my mom gets in on this action :) Sunday we drove back to CO and it was a long and tiring trip for me.
Monday I packed my stuff up and around noon we headed to Denver airport. I flew to Memphis and we arrived 20 minutes early but ended up sitting on the plane for a half hour waiting for a gate to pull up too. This made me super late and I had to hurry to get my bags and get on the next plane to Philadelphia. I arrived at the gate just as the doors were closing and made it just barely in time! All day I felt terrible and nauseous but took a lot of different things to feel better. I subsided on peanut butter and jelly, granola bars, and a little snack box from the airplane, as I had no time to even stop to get food along the way! I arrived in Philadelphia at 11:00PM and my ride was there to pick me up. I am now staying with a wonderful family, who is actually the brother and family of the family friend from Hot Springs who 'just knew I was pregnant!' In other words, I'm in good hands. The country here is gorgeous although I haven't been out to see much of anything yet. I'm just trying to stay warm! I went to bed around 1am and woke up at 10am this morning. I am in a huge sort of rustic old house, of which I still haven't gotten the full tour, but it is really neat.
This morning I woke up feeling good, too good in fact, and this scares me a bit. The lady I am staying with told me not to worry, as it is probably because I am finally well rested. I feel just a touch nauseous today but not bad, and what scares me the most is I don't think my chest really hurts. I'm going to go with her theory and not worry for now.
Well, five preschool and kindergartners just walked in the door so I think my time is up! Daycare has arrived. :)
