Warning long post, emotional rant about nothing!!

This is the earliest I've gotten up in a while. I always wake up, at least just a bit, when Travis is getting ready for work. As was the case this morning, I just couldn't get comfortable and fall back asleep after he kissed me goodbye. I was comfortable but not so that I could go back to sleep, and while I lay there willing myself to fall asleep again Jack started kicking me.

Not like his been kicking me, it was stronger. Can babies get stronger over night? I barely had to put any pressure on my belly to feel him kicking me from the outside, I'm betting if Travis had been home he would have been able to see. Jack is still going too!!!

I'm not tired either. Which is weird because I normally sleep till about 9 or 930. Perhaps today will be a super awesome day and Jack wanted me to get a head start? Most interesting.

Yesterday was not a good day for me. The night before I had made dinner for Travis and myself. I've been giving myself smaller portions because I've been getting fuller faster. By the time I got thru half of what I gave myself I was putting the rest back. I turned to leave the kitchen and started getting that old familiar feeling in my tummy.

Yep you guessed it! I barely made it to the bathroom. I threw up all I ate the second part of the day. Travis came running to make sure I was ok. And I was, I just felt like crap. All of a sudden I went from having an appetite and feeling fine, just a bit sleepy....To having a raging headache, NO desire to eat anything ever again, achy muscles and ugh.

I felt like I had had too much to drink, my head was spinning and my muscles felt all weird and weak. Travis put me to bed telling me I'd feel better once I went to sleep, he's such a sweetheart, but I didn't feel better.
My achyness reached an all time high and the spinning started getting worse.

I couldn't get comfortable and I kept moving around trying to find a more comfortable position, which is pretty hard when you can only sleep on your left side, which was bothering Travis's quality of sleep and he had to get up early to go to work.

I did finally get to sleep but I don't' know what time it was. I woke up at 928 the next morning feeling a little better.. I did get something to "eat" I made instant breakfast and sipped on it for a while, had a bowl of cereal about an hour later. Still felt like crap, and now I started crying at every little thing.
And crying and crying.

I tried taking a nap to see if that helped but I couldn't get comfy enough to fall asleep. Then when Travis got home from work he asked how I was feeling and I started crying again. I just jumped up and hugged him like I'd never let him go (which is a signal to him that I'm crying) he gently pulled himself away and tried to find out why I was crying.....

No reason. Just crying.....

Then I felt guilty for Travis coming home to find me a wreck. He started doing all the great things he always does when I'm like that, asking if he can get me anything, or if there's anything he can do for me to which I reply "No babe, just having you home is making me feel better."
I'm never sure if he believes me when I say that but I do.

He checked his mail then went to take a nap. I got up to go to the bathroom and saw how peaceful he looked taking his nap and thought I'd join him after my potty visit. When I went into the bedroom, I saw Tubby (travis's nap buddy....Tubby never naps with me), he too looked peaceful and happy.
I couldn't move Tubby he just looked to content. So I came back to the futon and laid down. I did fall asleep just as Travis was walking out after waking from his nap.

I called into work because I was still feeling really ill. I hadn't thrown up again but I felt terrible and hadn't gone a half an hour without crying over something. Travis didn't go to class, he had the assignment so it wasn't all that important for him to go. He got on the computer again for a bit, then got bored and came and laid down on the couch.

He was in a funk now too. So the two funky people sat on their seats and mulled in the funkiness.

When we both started getting bored and hungry, we started getting restless too. I said I wanted to get this super cool bathroom stuff from Sears for Jacks bathroom, thinking about this weekend because we both have it off.
Travis said "Ok lets go!!" Remembering I had called into work, I felt bad, like maybe we shouldn't. I got up and started getting ready.

We made our way there, talking about our funk. It was fun picking out stuff for the baby. We used giftcards from Paige and Theron, Mom and Dad to get the stuff. A turtle soap dish, a fish toothbrush holder, a seahorse soap dispenser, and then a Nemo bathmat. Oh yea and the matching shower curtain. We also got Ferris Bueler on DVD too.

This greatly improved both our moods, I was still feeling weak, a bit lightheaded but better. Then Travis asked me if I was getting hungry, which I was but where to eat? I didn't want fast food or anything heavy. So where did we decide to go? SONIC!!! For corndogs and rootbeer!!!

Oh never in my life have I tasted anything so YUMMY!!! There are very few things I've tasted in my life that has made me feel happy, but those corndogs!!! OMG!!! We both sat there enjoying our dogs and the conversation turned to happier things.

Driving home I said "I think we should get rid of cable, and if we can get rid of the phone if it doesn't mess up having internet." Travis thought it was a great idea, and we are going to look into that today and tomorrow.
We watch too much TV anyway. Plus dropping both of those bills will make up the monthly mullah we need to get into the two bedroom apartment we'll need in a few months. Our pile of baby stuff is growing, it makes us both smile when we see it.

Life is weird.

We went to sleep late last night almost 12. Jack was a kicking fool after the corndogs and rootbeet, and he was still going as I lay there thinking what a great night. We fell asleep, me wrapped around my pillows and Travis wrapped around me, his hand on my belly. I love cuddling!

I woke up when he was getting ready for work. I feel great today! I feel like something good is going to happen. I'm going to get some cereal....Sorry for the long post....This is the most diary like post I've made.....I just want to remember the day I guess..........Oh yea cereal!!
