Last Day of November
Here is it. The last day of November. I did not complete my story for NaNoWriMo. Which is okay. I’ve been having fun with it anyway. I’ve reached a point in the story where I have to be careful of details and that’s what slowed me down. But it’s okay. I’m enjoying the story and that’s what it’s about, having fun.
I’m still spending most my day asleep. Which also slows EVERYTHING down. I get nothing done. I basically hold my errands until I have an “awake” day, and then run around getting them all done. I’m tired enough, often enough that I don’t drive unless I’m feeling awake. I also don’t like driving alone, so if I have to, I wait until I’m feeling awake, if I’m even a little fuzzy, someone comes with me to help me stay awake.
I had a miserable night last night. I have another tooth that will probably need a root canal, and last night the nerve was dying. NOT FUN!! However, I’m not far enough along to make doing that much dental work safe on the baby. So I have to wait. Also not fun. I’ve had a headache for the last three days. And eating is also not fun. I hate eating…..I really hate eating. Between the tooth and the tadpole demanding nurishment constantly, I’m seriously starting to hate the sight of food.
But on the flip side I woke up to the most awesome experience this morning. I’m about 14 weeks along, maybe 15, anyway I have begun to feel the uterus getting close to the skin. I woke up to a dull throb of my jaw and felt a hardening up against where I can feel the uterus. So I put my hand down to feel why it felt hard in that one spot and the spot moved. It moved across my belly and then melted back into the uterus. I realized I felt the baby move up against the wall. I’ve never been able to feel the baby before about 4 1/2 or 5 months. I don’t know why it was pushed up against the wall the way it was, as I was laying on my back at the time, but in any case, it was a great thing to feel this morning after the nightmare of last night.
