4 Milligrams and Counting...

Today was a good day--I think the baby is happy with me. I woke up and felt very good. I almost didn't take any Zofran at all, but I thought that if I started feeling bad later, it would take the medicine quite awhile to kick in. I took half a pill (4 mg), and twelve hours later...still feeling good! I took a full dose yesterday morning, but a half dose yesterday at lunchtime, and I felt good last night too. I so hope that this is passing. Last night, I ate a baked potato, french fries, AND half a HAMBURGER. Yeah. It was from Wendy's, the only place I eat hamburgers anyway. To be honest, though, I didn't eat much for breakfast or lunch yesterday, so I was really hungry. Except for the fries, I can honestly say that I have been making very healthy food choices--lots of milk, cheese, and fruit. I'm supplementing my water and milk intake with some V8 Splash Tropical fruit & veggie juice to get some new flavor, and that's really good.

Last night, we got our first big project accomplished in the nursery--we got one bookshelf cleaned out, relocated to our bedroom, and restocked with only the essentials. Getting that one big piece of furniture out and finding a place to store those books was great. I feel like we're getting started now. Our colors are chocolate brown and leaf green (it looks really good together), and I want to do prints from classic children's books as the theme. I'm on the lookout for Eric Carle, possibly also Lois Ehlert. They're bright, cheery, gender-neutral, and hopefully will get my baby interested in books from the get-go (there's research to back that up, but I won't get on that soapbox today). If I can't find them online, I MAY have to commit sacrilege--buy duplicates of the books I already own, cut out the pictures I want, and mount and frame them myself. I just feel like it's a somewhat original theme--not the standard trains or jungle animals you find in every store. I don't have a problem with those themes, I just think that if I can incorporate my love of quality children's literature into my baby's nursery, then why wouldn't I? (Hi, I'm a teacher).

I've felt like my energy has been inching its way back for the past couple of days. I've signed 5 recruits up for Scentsy, so I've been spending a lot of time trying to make sure they feel equipped and ready to get going, we just went through a catalog transition, and I'm trying to get parties booked for March, as well as promote the fundraiser benefitting my sister. I guess when I write it all out, I am doing something, even though sometimes I feel like I live on the couch when I get home from work. I still sleep like a baby every night (except for the obligatory midnight potty run) and have a hard time prying my eyes open in the morning, so I must be expending energy somewhere. =)
