10 Weeks 5 Days

I've got a bad case of pregnant brain. I keep forgetting stuff at work. Nothing that has affected patient care, but stuff that was kind of important to my co-workers. I am going to have to be extra diligent about writing stuff down from now on.

I had the finger prick yesterday. It was pretty dull - but they lied when they told me it would only take 5 minutes. I was gone from work for 20. Oh well - that's my only appointment so far where I'll have to miss work.

I have a stupid cold sore on my nose right between my nostrils. It isn't very conspicuous, but it hurts quite a bit. The funny thing is, they only other time in my life that I had a cold sore was right after I delivered Hadley. I hope this is my only bout with it this time around.

The only real craving I have had so far is for french fries. SOOOO unhealthy! Oh, and the smell of vinegar and cooked broccoli stink really bad to me. No nausea really, but they reek.

I have two friends that are being monitored for possible miscarriages. That news has hit me hard. I feel guilty that my pregnancy is still going well and the others are not. It will be hard to go on with mine feeling happy if they have losses. I imagine that knowing our babies were due around the same time will make it hard for them to watch me go through pregnancy. I hope if they lose their babies they will be able to try again and have success soon.

My brother's girlfriend is due Saturday. I haven't talked to them, but I would think delivery would be any day now. I cannot wait to have a niece! Hopefully next time I post I will be an auntie!
