yeesh. i got a LOT done at work this morning (as i have been doing lately) and now i'm over it. bored. sick of working. looking for something to distract me.
the problem is, i'm almost too bored to seek out something interesting... i just want a nap. blah :\
this morning the baby was moving like cRaZy all over the place, bumping and poking and shifting and squirming. i don't know what got into her, except maybe she was fussing b/c i was starving. i completely overtaken by hunger around 11:15am and for some reason forced myself to wait until 12 for lunch. probably not the best idea.
i have been eating uber-healthy lately though, and that makes me happy. for lunch i've been having organic crackers and organic raw cheese, my daily apple, pineapple, some kimchee (some days), carrots (some days)... and then cookies. i have to have cookies. but i eat little ones and not a lot. i had sushi twice last week at lunch too, which always makes me feel great. and i've been really good at taking my iron and calcium supplements as i'm supposed to, and today i started eating a 45% iron DV organic cereal for breakfast instead of eggs and toast. i'd really prefer the eggs and toast, but i know exactly how much nutrition is in the cereal, so even though it's processed and imperfect, at least i'm getting the vitamins. dinner is more flexible, but i have been really good at eating dark leafy greens and lots of veggies with a big protein something or other (omelet, usually). i'm loving kale and sweet potatoes...
tonight is childbirth education class #3: complications of labor. weeee. this'll be a fun one i'm sure. today i read a birth story in which a woman had "uterine inversion" (holy CRAP-i mean, her story was rough anyway but damn), something i have not heard of before. seems like that would be one of the things they might mention in what to expect when you're expecting... or maybe they did and i skipped that part. i skipped most of that lame book.
anyway so uterine inversion is basically what happens when they do cord traction before the placenta has detached itself, and something like 15% who get it die from it! it can also happen naturally, however. really rare but quite fatal. reading another story from an intern's perspective completely grossed me out... the way they talk about how to fix it... *shudder* ah, complications. yes, this will be a grrrreat class today.
on another cheerful note, matt seems to have burned the bejesus out of one of his eyes yesterday whilst welding. he allegedly had his goggles on and whatnot, but apparently the UV light still got him, and now his eye is all f*cked up, red, and painful. ("Radiation in the ultraviolet range emitted by arc welders is absorbed by the unprotected cornea and lens, giving rise to a keratoconjunctivitis, or 'arc-eye,' which, though intensely painful, is not considered a threat to sight.") he's going to the doc about it this afternoon, though i can't imagine what they will do for him.
meh.
