much better mood...

Uneventful days of recuperating. Yesterday I basked in the hammock under the cloudless sky. If I had to be off work like this, I certainly got the most gorgeous time of year.

Today I actually left the house...I kind of overdid it...but it was nice to be out of the confines for a bit. I had a doctor's appointment at 3 p.m. so I ran some errands and even made it to the grocery store. I can really tell how inactive and unfed I've been--I'm exhausted. I couldn't eat much today--gall bladder seemed to be sending warning signals and I decided it's better to be very conservative.

Odd to not be hungry, to not want food, to avoid it (don't worry, I'm being good, I know the baby needs it and I'm doing the best I can to cram as much nutrition into as little food as possible)...a new relationship for me.

I went for a spinal adjustment today (my DO and ob/gyn are in the same practice) and met a woman in the waiting room who went through complications at the end of her pregnancy. I'm finding the bedrest thing is not as uncommon as I would have thought--it helped to talk to someone who recently went through it. This woman had a professional job, lots of responsibilities, etc.--she told me she thought it was her body's way of forcing her to slow down. Yep. I hear that, sister. Anyway, it was nice. And I'm starved for social interaction so it was nice to talk to a real human to whom I'm not married. (I love my husband and he's great to talk to but I am a social creature...)
