Grace in Small Things, September 7, 2011

1. My husband is a night owl and doesn't mind (much) if I wake up at 4 AM needing to be talked off the ledge. 

2 Had kind of a standard OB appointment this AM...no exam, but just a bunch of questions, paperwork, etc. My favorite nurse did the appointment. She was the nurse working with my OB who died last spring, so I don't usually get to work with her anymore, but I see her in the office and she hugs me every time she sees me. She's so lovely. She says they all say prayers for me and my babies. 

(By the way, not doing so great today. I know there is no logical reason to be scared of miscarriage, but it's 9 weeks and my gut says bad things happen at 9 weeks. Tears have been shed. But really trying not to go to that place of fear, if for nothing else because my husband said to me yesterday that if I'm scared, he's scared and if I'm OK, he's OK as far as all this baby stuff goes. I don't want him to suffer for no reason, when everything's probably going to turn out to be fine.)

3. Cut up peaches in milk. Is there anything better to eat in the world?

4. You guys, for reading along and leaving such awesome and supportive comments. I'm tearing up...it really means so much to have you out there rooting for me. Heart you guys!

5. Came out to my parent's place to work this afternoon...they've got some land and it's so lush and green and lovely...it hardly feels like working when you're sitting outside listening to a fountain gurgle, smelling the green grass, breathing the fresh air...

XOXO
