Ugh.

I feel crummy right now. Ate WAY too much for dinner. I can't even type it, it is so embarrassing. I was just talking to my sister Micki on the phone and I had to hang up because the baby was kicking so freaking hard. Then I got panicky, because I've heard horror stories of the cord wrapping around their necks too tight and the babies suffocating, but before they do, they kick like crazy. But after I laid down to listen to her heartbeat on my little bebe sounds machine (which hasn't ever worked) she started moving like normal, so I think she was just uncomfortable. Motherhood is full of crazy worries like this. Don't get me wrong - I'm ready to have this baby, but I want her healthy and kicking on the outside too.

I had my appointment today and I gained - *gasp* four pounds! That's the first time I've gained any weight at all since I got pregnant. I kind of think I've developed some kind of weird pregnancy eating disorder, because although I KNOW that's it's healthy to gain weight, especially right now, it freaks me out to have done so. Everything else was perfect - measuring right on target, and my blood pressure was 124/80. If things keep going like this, I may carry this baby to term.

Ok, I'm back now. Didn't know I was gone? Well, I had to rush away to get sick. That's now three times that I've thrown up in the last 24 hours. Will this EVER end?? Then I had to go brush my teeth and wash my face, and lay down beside Chris for some pity. For this, I got scratched by my stupid cat right across the foot. Three toes.

Well, I'm off to make myself a cheese and self-pity sandwich.
