Scare

Oh my girl, the things that are happening to my body! Yesterday I had a near-fainting episode that scared me SO badly that I have been monitoring EVERYTHING that passes my lips. I was talking to a co-teacher and I started to get sick. I felt the blood leave my face and I thought I was going to throw up. Suddenly everything went blurry. I rubbed my eyes. The co-teacher asked if my contacts were blurrryyyyyyyyyyyyy.......... as she said this my hearing failed me. I held on to the counter and waited until I felt stable enough to go to the bathroom. After leaving a message for the doctor, I spent the next hour waiting to feel you kick. I would rub your side (my side) or sing to you. I drank warm hot chocolate and then cold water. Even after you would move, I would second guess myself and do it all over again. Yes, I tend to worry.

The doctor said I need to eat protein 6-8 times throughout the day. I need to drink more water.

I haven't been the type of woman who takes it easy. I have a tough time leaving a weekend open with no plans. As a pregnant woman, I do not rest. I guess I should admit that I do not rest like I should. So I will. I will do anything to make sure we never have to go through that again. I hope you are enjoying the peanut butter :)

SIDE NOTE -- Your Daddy and I agreed on your name :) I chose it a LONG time ago but Daddy wouldnt agree until we found a proper middle name. Well, I thought of your middle name while I was driving home from a photoshoot on Sunday. The sun was setting and it just popped into my head. I do not know anyone by this name but I think you will set a high standard :) By the way, I call you_________-bird all the time. Even if your Dad came up with a really really great new name, I can't imagine being able to let go of _______-bird. It just fits you, already. It fits us.

love you!
