Well, I swore to myself I wouldn’t update until I had something other than complaints to share, but then I realized it might be a really long time before I made another post if I stuck to that resolution. The scary part is that I’m not even to the really difficult part of the pregnancy according to folks that have gone this way before.
I’m sufficiently swollen that I had to upsize my wedding band; by the end of the day, my feet look like ham hocks stuck on the ends of my legs. Thankfully, I don’t have any signs of high blood pressure, so at this point the swelling and water retention are just annoyances, although carpal-tunnel inducing annoyances; the tip of my right ring finger is numb, and I’m hoping a trip to the chiropractor and a massage will help it.
This weekend was supposed to be an extra-busy one, with new arrivals at post to meet at the airport on Saturday, and a cabinet-level visitor arriving on Sunday, but the VIP wasn’t able to make it, so my shift in the control room got canceled. I managed to work in 12 lengths of the pool between rain showers today, though, so I consider today a success!
Lisa, Congratulations! I wasn’t aware that you’re gonna be a momma!
I can’t say enough about the massage’s in PI. It’s the first thing I did on every visit! They cracked every single joint in my body I think and it felt SOOOOO good!!! About a 30 minutes for just 5 bucks!!! (What’s it run now???) I guess you can’t experience what I thought was the best part because you’re pregnant, but I really liked it when they would walk on my back, dig their toes between the joints in my spine and then bounce just enough to pop it. They’d do that all the way up my back. It was awesome. Better than ANY chiropractor I’ve ever been to.
Just thought I would share that memory… Now I want a massage!
Take care.

Saturday pm and hit a raining in Kansas. Have “just” missed really horendous weather lately. Similar to the Moses thing. Parting of the sea so to speak. Went north and south of us. Talked with your mom yesterday. Stated she was “busy” with church, clubs, etc. I’m still hinting for a trip to Dog Island. Probably “never happen”. Oh, well. I got to sit in the Mercedes. Best regards to the three of you. FD
