  • 2 miles of walking

This week has been extra fun!  Haha.  My blood sugar (or whatever makes me sick) is so unstable right now that I can barely stand up long enough to do the dishes!  (and no, this is not my way of getting out of housework)  Much different than tiring out after a long run!  It's better in the afternoon, so that's when I try to walk.  I have never layed around or watched this much TV in my life before!  Except for the few days when I've had the stomach bug...which feels oddly the same LOL, yet with this, you still have to go on with life and can't call in sick for 9 months.  I'm not looking for sympathy though...billions of women have gone through this (or worse) so it's just my turn, right? =0)

The 1st week of the didactic orientation at the NICU is complete with only a few  mishaps. :)

I hope everyone has fun at the JRT!  Only 1 week left till SGM, holy smokes!

The fact that you can get up and walk for two miles is amazing! When I'm sick I feel like my butt is glued to the couch! Isn't it crazy how you sit around all day, but still feel like you have NO energy and can't do anything? Yeah, it stinks! But, it is totally worth it :) Hang in there and good luck getting through work during this time too. That was always the hardest for me.

Love you, Brooke! Hang in there, Baby!!! :) :) :)

Ooops!!! :) Forgive me, Brooke! I must've lost my marbles there!

Thanks SSF for catching my blunder!!! :)

Haha, that's so funny! No prob Smooth, I hadn't even seen it yet. I'm not sure if you even knew James' name anyway? I don't call him by his name very often. :)

Thanks Rachel! Yah...it does NOT feel good, wow! It really knocks you over...literally. =0)

Teena, I have been watching crazy shows like Supernanny, What Not To Wear, Without a Trace...whatever is on during the day which I have to say is A LOT. =0)
