I made it into work this morning. There was a bit of a scare with cramping and spotting after I woke up. I hadn't felt little monkey moving around, either, so I was in a bit of a panic. But the achiness has gone away and he's kicking a bit, so I'm just watching things very closely.
My friend Matt showed up yesterday with a huge hug and a gift - tickets to the movies and quite a bit towards dinner at a restaurant of our choice. I still get a bit choked up when I think about it. He made us promise to take some time for ourselves. After, I met up with Erin for dinner, pregnant-lady chat and general silly gossip. It was wonderful to see her, and even more wonderful to relax and have a good time. In-between, there were emails and phone calls of support and love (and promises to come up here at the drop of a hat, we just needed to say the word).
We truly have some of the most amazing friends.
So I'm here and I've given myself permission to take it one class at a time. I felt a bit more positive this morning, so here's to making it through the day. And when I need it, I can come back and read this tidbit from a Reiki list (they're all getting together tomorrow to send healing energy to me and monkey) - it makes me giggle:
Sending all the Reiki Angels we can muster to the "Little Monkey" who will have a "Reiki Angel's Heart!" If he's kicking like a little monkey then you can bet he will hit the ground running & swinging when he arrives! Maybe even beating his chest & yodeling like Tarzan!
It's just such a silly image in my head, I can't help but smile. Our little Tarzan. How cute.
