What a week! The lectureship was fun since we saw a lot of our old friends from college. It's amazing the number that's expecting or just had little ones of their own. We shared our news with a few old friends as well as our old bosses in the office we both worked at.

My chiropracter said things are fine. He wantes me to see him every month if I can. He was excited and glad for me too.

Not much going on to report. My morning sickness is virtually gone, but I've got the preggo digestive system (gas, bloating, burping, etc.). I'd almost gotten a bladder infection, but I think that has cleared up with extra water intake.

What's the worst part of it right now? My tender and swollen chest! Sometimes I get these twinges in them that feel like someone is stabbing a knife right into them! Oh those hurt.

My chiropracter said not to get caught up in the eating so much thing. He said just to pretty much eat normally but healthily. So, I've pretty much gone back to my habit of eating like I was before pg. Which is a lot of salads but about 2 times a day. I am working on getting rid of the yeasty things since I had added that into my diet. I will still allow myself a bowl of healthy cereal in the morning (I've gotten attached to that) and I feel the need to allow my body to have what it craves sometimes. Recently it's been carrot cake and salt. I've notice and so has James that I'm using the salt twice as much (or more) on my food. I don't have a history of high blood pressure, as a matter of fact, one time I tried to cut salt out completely and I ended up in the nurses office at college with a blood pressure of 80/50. So, I keep salt in my diet, but usually not to this extreme. I guess when I get to my first appointment we'll find out if too much salt is a problem.

Speaking of appointments, I might make one for next week. The midwives said I could schedule it any time, provided I have an official pg test. We found out that our group is resurrecting itself and insurance coverage begins April 1. They had sent us one months premium and I'll likely use that to pay for the first appointment, then every thing else will be covered. I am so relieved that we have the insurance back. I feel much better.

Writing wise, I'm still waiting on a critique about DR, but not really expecting to get it. I'm a bit disappointed that the story I was going to send to WotF by the end of march got bad reviews from all the critters that read it. So, now I'm not sure what I'll send there. DR needs a revised ending (according to one critter) and part of me agrees and the other part wants it to remain the way it is. Not sure what I'll do, but at least I'm thinking about it.

Every once in a while something happens that makes me think my preggo brain is not so bad after all. Last night I clobbered my mom and James at 'Masterpiece'. It's a game of buying and selling art pieces. They both ended up with $19 million (money + what their art was worth) and I ended up with $60 million. I beat them with just money or with just my art. Oh, it was a blast. That was the first time I've done so well. Plus we are keeping track of who makes the most and what the highest paid for a painting etc. I almost beat James high of $60.5 million in another game.

Well, time to go. Thank you to those of you that sent me congrats e-mails. :)
