11/4: Hooky

So I played hooky from work today. I worked on Monday which is not what I normally do, and since I have pregnancy brain, I forgot to prepare for my upcoming trip to the conference. I asked my boss for the day off and he was cool about it.

So my day started with getting up bright and early to go to my PT. I got to the place at 715 for my 730 appointment and low and behold, I had another pregnancy brain moment, and my appointment was not until 845. WOW. Well, I got in some much needed phone calls and then had a great session with (J) my pre-natal pilates therapist. We did some new core exercises and I learned a lot. She actually asked if I was a smoker, cause she could tell by the way was breathing deep in my chest, not in my abdomen. Funny how that works, I could totally tell what she was talking about. So it is all about retraining my muscles to work CORRECTLY, and breathing in, and breathing out while doing kegels, and pulling my belly button to spine while staying in neutral spine. Got it? Well, it takes a lot of freaking thinking!!! Prego brain is confused! And she told me not to do the elliptical! AHHH!!! To much impaction of my spine. Swimming and bike it is. I hate the bike.

Doing laundry and went to my corner store. The owner (J) who always calls me by my first name now waited on me and commented on my apples I bought. Since it is apple season, there are a crap ton of different varietals and I usually stick to my Organic Gala or Fuji, but he threw in some Hawaiian kind for me to try and then told me, "this is the last batch of the season, but they are great, you have to try 'em." I called him a tease, well not in those words, but said, "Wow, thanks (J), now I will fall in love with these and they will be gone till next Fall."

Anyhow, been nauseous, but nothing like Monday. Oh, yesterday I drank Numi Mint tea before getting on bus and that helped tremendously!

Last but not least, (A) talked to baby dadda last night and he does plan on being part of little lentil beans life. I am pleasantly surprised, yet still a bit weary of how this will all go down. Regardless, I have all my wonderful friends and family here for me during this amazing time, and I want to Thank you all! I couldn't do it without you all!
