Okay, I've recovered...
But that doesn't mean I feel any better about searching for a daycare for my tiny, infant child.
It is going to be a gorgeous day here and I have a list a mile long of things I would like to accomplish. I started the morning by sleeping longer than I had planned (uh-oh) and finding an email from Turbo-Tax stating our taxes were Rejected (ummm, crap). So, with some scrambling I fixed (fingers crossed) the small problem and am now attempting to muster the energy to start on that blasted list. Great expectations....I have them.
Yesterday I went to see Dr. Zink a cardiologist my OB/GYN insisted I visit. Heart palpitations are a common symptom during pregnancy but with my insane heart diseased family history and personal non-compliance with previous heart complaints...well, I wasn't going to "have a heart attack" on Dr. King's watch. Dr. Zink, aside from having a super cool name, was very informative and had a great bedside manner. Two doctor points for him. Oh, and he also seemed pretty well informed about his subject matter - which I guess is helpful and stuff. He's sending me for an echo cardiogram today and I am really looking forward to this test because I schedule plenty of patients for the same and have never had one myself. I figure this test will give me a little street cred. Also, I've heard, from an anatomy standpoint, that's it's a cool test to observe. It's basically an ultrasound of the heart and much like seeing a baby move around in a belly, an echo allows you to witness the valves of the heart opening and closing, moving blood to and fro. It's non-invasive and interesting to watch...I can handle that.
Jackson is moving around like a little mad-man. There are very few points throughout the day when he doesn't seem to be readjusting his position. During my EKG yesterday at the doctor's office, the tech would turn to me with a confused look on her face. During an EKG you have to remain still so they can get a good read. I was lying still and the tech knew this, but the reads were all out of wack. Finally, she looked at me and said, "Is your baby moving around right now?" He was of course and so what should of only taken 4 minutes took 10. My little trouble maker.
Robbie and I are plugging along right now and nesting tendencies are mirroring the beautiful, warmer days we've been blessed with. Robbie cleaned the garage out last weekend and has grand plans to start on a art project for Jackson's room. He's also planned on helping me clean out the baby room and start painting it this weekend.....finally! There's something about a little sunshine that can kick start a home improvement project. I love Spring here and get really into housework and gardening and updating the abode during that time of the year. This year will be different because I am going to be the size of Pluto, uncomfortable and somewhat physically limited. I'll admit this makes me a little sad, so I am trying to take advantage of the nice February days that come.
Speaking of which...I need to get in gear, it's 9:00 am already!
By the way...thank you family and friends who have showered me with encouragement on the whole daycare saga. You've reminded me time and time again I am going to be okay. I am so grateful for you.

I know that you can face the challenges that your life is facing. You have always had a good strong mindset. You have always been able to look at things logically and come to good decisions. Funny how now that Jackson has entered the picture your emotional side has become stronger. Totally understandable, but you cannot let that take over. You and Jackson will be just fine.
