Natalie & Ryan: Just Kept Going & Going...

Today was a good day...wow, it feels weird to say that. I got up to do one thing, which led to another, which led to another. I was able to manage doing a few loads of laundry (even put them away), took out 2 bags of garbage, did the dishes, made dinner, made a batch of cookies, vacuumed, and organized a bit. Oh, and learned that laundry multiplies like rabbits. It's seriously never-ending. Anyway, 3 o'clock came around, I got settled on the bed with my big blankie, cuddled up with Junie, and turned on some Spongebob. That must be the universal sign for "please call me! WAKE ME UP!!" because right as I fell asleep, my phone rang. My glasses were in and ready to be picked up. I ran out to grab them, came back home, and redid my nap attempt. And, just like before, I must have sent out the signal to bug me, because I had two separate instances of people knocking on the door. Ugh! Naps are hard to come by. And that's been even more true lately. I've gotten another fun pregnancy symptom. I'm not sure if it's the baby on a nerve or two, or if it's just normal hormonal changes, but every single muscle in my body is achy and crampy, especially in my joints. My right hip is going to be the death of me...moving down to my knee...moving down to my ankle. Last night I even thought I was having a heart attack because just my right arm was in pain. Haha, paranoia. I'm in agony, but I'm proud of myself for pushing through all of this constant, intense pain. Pictures of me with glasses probably won't come until I've actually done my hair and makeup. Yes, even having been so productive today, I didn't feel like doing either of those.
