Today has been absolutely wonderful. I slept in until 10:00. The only reason I woke up was to eat the poached eggs and toast Marc made for me. I took my first prenatal vitamins with a glass of Horizon Organic Whole Milk and listened to light classical music until I was done. Then I went back to bed until 11:30. My dad called and asked if Marc and I would let him take us out to lunch, so we drove to East Austin to eat at a restaurant called El Azteca. I had a chicken mole enchilada and a chicken taco. Mexican food is good for the soul.
When I got home I went back to bed for about twenty minutes before my dear friend Katherine came over to discuss a musical performance we're doing on the 22nd. We chatted about life, music, babies, and love. She informed me that approximately 60% of women have at least 1 miscarriage in their lifetime, and it almost always happens in the first trimester. Needless to say that made me very nervous. But I'm healthy and going to continue taking care of myself and hope for the best.
After my meeting with Kat, I hung out by the pool with Marc. My friend Zoe came over to pick up her toothbrush that she left here last week (I wonder if she had an interim one...) and jumped in with us. We hung out at the pool for a couple of hours before retreating back to the apartment. Then Carmen came over. Then Tanya came over. Then Marc made pasta. Then we ate and watched Glee. Pure Bliss.
It has been so exciting to share my baby news with people. If people think it's bad or crazy, they sure fool me. Everybody get's so excited! I'm so glad, because I'm so excited too! I'm so happy I could pop. But hopefully not until the due date.
Marc and I are building our family. We take it a day at a time, and every once in a while I write about things I find meaningful.
