Most importantly, an update about last night's pain. I still had it this morning, so I called. I figured it was *probably* nothing, but I also figured it could not hurt to call. I have instructions to keep drinking lots of water and to try to take it easy over the weekend. Which is funny since I have family coming into town and a house that is a disaster, a photo shoot with a 6 month old on Saturday morning, a promise to take my 2 year old and his 2 year old cousin to the pool Saturday afternoon, and plans for an IKEA shopping trip Sunday. Of all those things, the only things I can really let go are the dirty house (thankfully it's just family) and the IKEA shopping trip (which I want to do, but it can wait). So I'm going to try to take it easy when I can. I'm supposed to call anytime if I start experiencing bleeding or contractions, but I have no reason to think either of those will happen. The nurse said it sounds like just a lot of stretching happening at once and resulting soreness. Sounds good to me.
My sickness issues have been GONE today (knock on wood). I did my water and diet coke breakfast. (I'm ashamed to admit the diet cokes are becoming more like 1 a day than 1 a week.) And then I just wasn't hungry. I felt normal, great, and not hungry. I had an internal battle about whether or not to skip breakfast . . . but I decided that 1) I felt good 2) I wasn't hungry and 3) I need to trust that my body will tell me what it needs . . . so I went without. I did eat lunch about 30 minutes ago and so far I still feel very normal. I don't want to get my hopes up that this could be the start of something new, but I'm surely enjoying just being able to sit at my computer today and focus on what I'm doing without feeling like I'm going to be sick at any second.
And finally, I've spent the last week since the NT scan just poking around looking at various ideas for the room for the new baby. I'm a Type A person and I like to plan. (Who would have guessed that???) I won't be buying anything for a while, but I do enjoy getting ideas together. I had pulled something together that I liked - fairly gender neutral, bold, vibrant. I could be happy doing something like that, but it was a little modern and maybe a little cold for a nursery. I was talking to a friend who is also pregnant and she sent me a link to her Pinterest boards and I found something I fell in love with. And even better, I starting looking through old photos to see what I could print for the walls and I found the most perfect picture from our trip to Alaska (where we got married)! So now, I just need to reel the excitement in a little bit. I'm not ready to buy anything and I don't love being this excited about baby stuff so early. But maybe I'll share a picture soon of what I have in mind . . .
