So I had the blood work. I had the ultrasound. What I don't have is results yet.

I woke up this morning with that stupid pain I've had for just over a week now. Not quite continuous but frequent enough that it almost feels that way. And it's right about at my solar plexus. Doesn't move at all. Just smack in the middle.

So I had some water this morning. And that triggered a twinge of pain. As it did a bit later in the morning when I had more water to drink. And the Nilla wafers set it off too. And getting up and waling around my office set it off. So I waited to eat lunch. But then I thought, well...maybe I just need to eat. So I finally had lunch.

Big mistake.

Just as I was finishing, I almost doubled over in pain. I felt like someone had hit me. Tears flowing down my face. Trying to catch my breath. Trying every stupid relaxation and breathing technique I've picked up over the past few months.

Nothing worked. If it was contractions, the pain would have eventually subsided, no? Yes. But the pain is finally just now going away (make that 1 1/2 hours later).

I've got about 15 more minutes left until I go to see my doctor. If this is just how the rest of the pregnancy is going to go, I'd really like to know now. At least I'll know that this is just how my body deals with it. But I can't believe this pain is simply part of it. I don't remember any of my friends mentioning this part (am I wrong? did y'all? was I oblivious?).

*sigh*

At least I'm pretty darn sure the baby is ok. She's been moving around fairly consistently. As long as she's fine, well, then I'm fine. :^)
