Imbalanced

I spent more time at my least favorite place yesterday...the doctor's office. Gone are the days where I would sit in the waiting room w/ a little smile on my face as I watched the other pregnant women walk by. Now I sit in the waiting room and refuse to look up b/c I don't want to sneer at these women or burst out crying. I had an ultrasound and it looks like I did things naturally on Tuesday, no need for further intervention. That's good. At least my body recognized something was wrong and took care it. Now I have to have blood work done once a week until all the pregnancy hormones are out of my body. Every time I get blood drawn, my arm looks like a battlefield. I usually don't bruise this easily after giving blood, but it's been rough the last few times. No, I don't use intravenous street drugs...

On a lighter note, I am planning my son's second birthday party. He will turn two in a few weeks and while we're not going to go crazy, we will have a backyard bbq. Joseph loves Elmo so we're working on an Elmo theme. I am a big fan of water in the summer - swimming pool, beach, sprinkler, etc. So in addition to Elmo, I want to add some backyard water activities for the kids. It's so refreshing to see little kids playing in a mini pool or running through the sprinkler. I live in the southeast and we are in a drought, but it is a kid's birthday party so we can cheat a little right??? I'll have most of the neighbors over so hopefully no one will call the county on us while we're wasting water with sprinklers and swimming pools.
