Well, it’s day two, and there are still two lines. Only, the important one doesn’t seem as vivid as yesterday’s. I try not to let this make me crazy. Part of me is frightened that this will end badly. Part of me is certain that all will be well. The headache persisted well into the day and I finally caved and took some Tylenol.  I’ve been faithful with my folic acid and vitamins for months and months.  That’s a plus.  And now I’ve started gentle yoga and am cleaning up my eating habits in the hopes of evading the gestational diabetes this time.  I feel like crappe, and count that as a blessing.  Leg cramps.  Belly cramps.  Queasiness.  Dizziness.  Fatigue.  All SIGNS!!  It means things are happening.  It means it’s real!  I gathered the courage to step on the scale and was disappointed to see that I have recently gained so much.  It’s like an explosion.  I could feel it happening, but preferred to stick my head in the sand, so to speak.  Sigh.  What matters now is to make the most of things as they are.  Get some fresh air.  Try to get more rest.  Pray.  Settle myself.  Immerse my inner self and outer self in love.  What a blessing I am bestowed with!  July 19th.  That’s my guess.  We’ll see what the experts say when the time comes.  I made my first appointment today, but it’s not for two more weeks.  How can I possibly wait that long.  It’s like an eternity away.  I must find a way to calm down!
And how nice!  A phone conversation with none other than the fine Miscellania!  The blog world becomes smaller and smaller with each passing day.
