1. I really wonder why I have to come to work. All I do is sit around - sometimes, if I'm really lucky, I get to run across the building to make copies. It seems like an exercise in futility - especially on days where it's supposed to be 72 degrees outside. I look longingly out the door and wish I were anywhere but here.
2. The fair started last night. Husband says he'll take me tomorrow. We all know what that means! MEAT-ON-A-STICK!
3. I think I've successfully weaned myself off the Zofran (the anti-nausea medicine). Not that the vomiting has stopped. Or that the nausea has abated. But, I'm managing.
4. And speaking of vomiting, The Lentil was very upset that I forced her to have breakfast this morning. Apparently she's done with the daily ritual of a PB&J. I got about half of it down before it came right back up.
5. The good news is, the continued nausea after the throwing up incident was quelled by a Dr. Pepper. I'm feeling right as rain now - even if it is like having a beer for breakfast.
6. Another nausea reducer that I've found is grapefruit. Not that I actually eat the grapefruit. I just keep one on my desk and when I feel like I'm going to vomit, I put it to my nose and inhale for all I'm worth. Everyone at work thinks it's really funny. I bet they'll think it's even funnier when I ralph all over them.
7. Husband has taken to calling The Lentil "Little Bit". It's so cute, I can hardly stand it. And, it's much better than Chutney, which is what he was calling her two weeks ago.
8. We might have had a small stove fire on Wednesday night. And by small, I mean that the stove top might have spontaneously combusted and the fire might have big enough to roast marshmellows on and it might have left black, greasy deposits on my vent hood. And on my boogers, which are still funny colors. Just so you know.
9. Does anyone know what to do for semi-phantom sciatica? I'll be walking along, and all the sudden The Lentil will roll back on my nerve and GOOD GRIEF, I feel like my leg is going to collapse. Sometimes it hurts so bad, I have to slide my foot along because it hurts too bad to pick it up. Sometimes The Lentil will roll forward again and the pain will go away instantly and sometimes, she sets up a tent and stays a while. Suggestions, please.
10. I feel pretty superior because now two of the work cats let me pet them. I've even named them - The Swatter and Flavor-Flav - not that anyone else knows their names. The Swatter will let you pet her for a little while and then she'll try to claw your hand off. I try to warn people and they act like I don't know what I'm talking about. Kind of like the time we went to the big cat park in Arkansas and the lady didn't believe me when I said the male lion was getting ready to urinate in her direction. She found out pretty quickly that I wasn't kidding around...and neither was the lion.

Hi Erin,
I asked ex-boyfriend baby Dr. Bob and he said that you need to stretch you back mucsles and that will get the baby to move. So use your yoga positions. :) Good luck.
Yoga positions?? I can't even bend over and touch my toes anymore! That's what you get when your uterus is as big as a soccer ball. And as long as I'm on that topic, I really don't see why my uterus EVER needs to get any bigger than a soccer ball. I mean, can't the baby just curl up tighter or something?
Good point he called to tell me the specific stretch that he thinks is the best. Lay down on your back and pull your knees to you one at a time and hold it for 15-20 and release. He said if your tummy is too big you should have your husband push on your knees for you.
