Today was a good day.
I slept late again, got up, and ate some breakfast before heading into the city. We bought the new "Charlie Card" for the MBTA, and hopped the train over to Central Square. We ended up at Pandemonium Books, where we purchased some dice (I can never have enough), some books, and some mini's. After that, we headed to David Square, had some pizza, and relaxed for a bit before heading over to the chocolate tasting that featured oakenguy's chocolate!
It was great getting to see people, and the chocolate was heavenly, and once we had sat and chatted for a while, we had to head out. My jeans lately have been pushing on my lower abdomen, which in turn pushes various bits against my intestines, and makes me nauseous. So, since we knew we'd have to spend the money eventually, we went up to Nashua and bought some maternity clothes.
All of the clothes were ones that will grow with me over the next six months. We got two pairs of pants and about 6 shirts, and a new bra, since I've already blossomed up to E's :P This particular shopping trip was helpful to reinforce that we're staying positive and trying to be worry-free.
My friend mariposa_bella just gave birth this morning, and I'm thrilled for her. I remember months ago telling her that everything would be okay. So I keep holding that in my head. The more I think things will be okay, hopefully the more that things will be.
The bad possibilities are, at this point, out of my hands. I've done everything to get myself healthy, to prepare my body for the pregnancy - so I've been working actively in the last week to let go of the worry about that which isn't in my control. I'm so white-light-fluffy-bunnies right now, but it's what I have to do to stay calm.
But yeah - things are good. It was good to be out, but still get to rest and be mellow, and get to squee a bit with Druid about maternity clothes (and a bra that fits!!).
Tomorrow? YARN STORE. Totally.
