Somehow I managed to loose my blackberry yesterday. I spent the entire morning here in the office wandering around looking for it. I called my husband at lunch, almost in tears because it was really stressing me out to have lost it. He drove 45 minutes to get to my office to help me look for it!
10 minutes after he got here he found it!!!

All week - I've been trying to figure out what to do. For now, I'm going to stand my ground. This blog is my personal place and I'm not going to give it up.
That said... This week has pretty much sucked. The weather has been grey and rainy. Work has been more insane than usual. I lost my blackberry yesterday and I've been feeling really, really sick 24/7.
Do any of you remember why I thought it was a good idea to get pregnant again? Because this week I've really been wondering what the heck I was thinking. I asked my husband if I was this sick last time and if it ever got better - his response... Yes, I was this sick and it only got worse the further along I got. Great...selective memory on my part.
Even with the miserable nausea - I have a much better feeling this time around. I'm worried, like any babyloss mama would be, but when I really think about it. This time around is a much more positive experience. Last time all I did was worry about gaining weight, missing work, taking leave, organizing family visits etc... I never did just enjoy being pregnant. The pregnancy part was just the ho-hum that had to happen before you brought a baby home.
This time I know how fragile a pregnancy can be. It isn't something to be taken for granted. It's something to be treasured.
The 23 week mark happens sometime in July. Right now that feels like a long way off. I'm hoping that I make it that far and a whole lot more this time.
Thanks for all yout kind words and support!!!

Real world meets blog world
Until now this blog has been a place that no one IRL knows about. But now... because I was stupic and careless my real world now knows about this blog.
It shouldn't be a big deal - but it is.
I don't talk about people in a mean or nasty way - I do complain about stuff - but nothing really terrible - or at least nothing that I remember.
It's just my own private space to express what I think and what I feel with out having to be the "me" that I am to everyone IRL.
So now I guess I need to start thinking of this blog in a way that I haven't before. It needs to be written for everyone I know instead of just the make beleive world of blogland.

Yum....
I have just discovered my all time favorite potato chip...Utz Kettle Classic Russet Chips... I'm not normally a big fan of chips - but WOW these are awesome! It's like eating a bag of the random burnt looking chips that show up in a regular bag of chips every so often. YUM!!!
And -yes - I did fall off the healthy eating wagon today.... but it's only because I went to the grocery store at lunch time when I was STARVING...other than that I've been doing great...

7w4d
We have a heartbeat!
We had our first ultrasound yeaterday. Everything looked good with our little white blob - heart beat and all. Everything is pretty much on track for growth right now at 7w4d. So that's all good.
BP on the other hand is not so good. It's a little on the high side all of a sudden and it's been GREAT up until now. I've got an appointment with my internist next week - I'm very glad about that. I'm sure it will mean a higher dose of Labetelol - but I'm completely OK with that as long as it means my BP will go back down.
I'm sure it doesn't help that the rest of my week has been insane. In the furniture industry there is a week long trade show twice a year called Furniture Market. If you live outside of NC I'm sure you've never heard of it. It is an amazing gathering of furniture manufacturers and retailers from all over the world. It used to be a lot bigger than it is now...thanks to China and a crappy economy. But it's still pretty cool to walk around and see all of the designs you or your team have worked on for the past 6 months out there on display.
But now that Furniture Market is over it's back to business... getting ready to show the "new" line in May and June and finishing up the December line at the same time.
There just isn't enough time in a day.

Me - as Mondrian
Just had to post a few more work pictures...
This is a new line of furniture for the HGTV designer Angelo Surmelis that my design group has been working on. They will be introduced on line in July through Overstock.com and a few other internet retailers. Really fun, beautiful stuff...
