Today didn't start the way I wanted it to.  I had a creepy dream after Tyler got up and was getting ready for the day.  It seemed so real because it took place on the floor in our room.  I wont describe it to you because no one wants to hear about it, but it involved Tyler as a ghost and me screaming for the real Tyler but having no voice.  Then, when Tyler came to kiss me good bye my dream ended and it was just really creepy.  I had to lay there for a little while to make sure that it was just a dream because it seemed pretty real.

I stayed in bed because I could tell the weather really sucked outside.  It was still super dark in our room so I just knew we were in for today.  I read a bit of a pregnancy book while Kitten cuddled up nice and close. I got way too hot so I got out of bed.  It was pretty miserable outside.  I prepared my granola and ate a banana while it sat in the fridge to cool down.  That banana was a mistake.  Soon after ingesting it, I got the same pain in my gut I got on Sunday after eating that hamburger.  It hurt badly and I didn't know what to do.  I tried just sitting there not moving but it didn't help.  The pain wasn't as intense as it was before, but I couldn't ignore it.  I texted Tyler just to tell him and we decided that I should try to get a doctor appointment just to be on the safe side.  I did know that there was nothing wrong with Baby J just because the pain was in my stomach, not lower down where Baby lives.  Plus, Baby J was moving a ton this morning so I kind of knew it was okay.

I went into the hospital and they were able to get me an appointment for 11 so I only had to wait half an hour to get to see someone.  The Dr. said that it was likely some sort of reflux or heartburn (even though I have had heartburn with Baby J and it certainly felt nothing like that).  She checked baby's heartbeat, which I always love love love hearing.  It was fast and strong.  She also showed me where it's head was.  Baby J is currently down with it's feet up in my ribs.  I got a few kicks there today.  So, Baby J is fine and once I got home, my pain had gone.

I felt exhausted once I got home.  Tyler came home soon after and we enjoyed some time together.  He left again and I got on with my daily chores.  I did the dishes and prepared dinner.  I made up a dish of Swarties casserole.  When I opened the cupboard, I saw that we had a cream of mushroom soup and I knew that there was no way Tyler would ever eat anything knowing that soup was in it.  So, I put that mushroom soup in with a cream of chicken and figured he would never know the difference.

After that was prepared, I went to do some cross stitching but got side tracked by looking baby things up on the internet.  I love reading all about taking care of this person.  It's so much fun.  Baby J was moving so much today and that always makes me smile.  I read out loud to baby everything that I read and I also sang to it.

I put dinner in the oven and got on with my cross stitching.  Tyler came home and we enjoyed another meal together.  I asked him right away how it tasted and he said it was SOOO good.  It wasn't revealed till mid-way through his plate that there was mushrooms in there.  He suddenly got full and didn't really want to finish.  He was joking but I'm sure he would agree with me that you couldn't actually taste the mushrooms.

Since we ate so early, we were also done early.  Tyler started to study while I cross stitched and played with Baby J.  We listened to music, which Baby loved.  There was a lot of dancing in my belly.  I love spending nights this way.  When we just sit and relax and don't have the tv on.  I really hate watching tv when it is just annoying noise.

Now that Tyler is done and I'm getting sleepy, we are watching tv and I'm feeling Baby J move a ton still.  I'm thinking I'll have my hands full with this child and I'm so looking forward to it.
