so. i took a total of eleven buses today. may be a new personal best.
additionally, i took six of those buses on one transfer. best buck-seventy-five i ever spent.
i started drinking nettle tea again, in hopes that my low energy is due to low iron and that nettle leaf in a cup thrice daily will up my levels of both. also back on the red raspberry leaf, because it certainly can't hurt. i swear these combined with oatstraw and red clover blossom got me pregnant in the first place.
i thought i had so many things to write, but now i just feel exhausted. i went to see my kitties; talia and co. are doing such a good job taking care of them, and i feel so indebted that i don't have to worry about their well being.
i want to go christmas shopping. but i am waiting until it is not 72 degrees out. what is with this weather? and, more importantly, what is with all the friggin lady bugs? they have infested minneapolis overnight, and, while they aren't as bad a bees, i am not amused.
i have been feeling short, sharp, stabby pains in my pelvis. i think luca is starting to wiggle his head down into the sweet spot. i'm 33 weeks tomorrow. it seems early, but also it occurs to me that this engagement process could (and probably will) take several weeks. they hurt enough to notice, but not enough to bother me much.
tomorrow morning i get to go play with the kids. i am excited, but also exhausted. but kraig is getting me a chocolate shake from mcdonalds!
i need to finish getting my addresses together for the shower invitations. this task plauges me.
i still don't know if i actually *get* that there's a baby in me, and that, in a few weeks, it'll come out and i'll get to/have to take care of it forever.
i wonder what he'll look like.
