Anxiety Spanxiety

Well we didn't get the apartment we wanted BUT I have already found another apartment that might be better. Of course, I'm only going by the advertisement but this one will have two bedrooms AND an office. Plus, it's in Pembroke and I'm kind of partial to Pembroke. You never know what the Lord has in store for us. I'm disappointed but not worried. I truly 178% believe God has a plan.

You will not believe what I did tonight! First of all, I called my friend. That is a big step because I LOATHE the phone. Secondly, I asked her if she wanted to join me at a Tastefully Simple Party. This is a friend I've just met at church. Her and her husband are involved in a Lenten Study Group that Ed and I are also participating in. She is pregnant with twins so it has been fun to get to know her. It feels like it took forever, but I finally told her I was pregnant too. So, I've never done anything with Wendy, the aforementioned friend, outside of church but she often tells me to contact her anytime so...I DID! I am so very proud of myself. Really, it's a big step to call someone I am just getting to know to invite them to a party with more people I don't really know. This pregnancy thing has been really great for my anxiety! The school nurse says because of that I might have 15 kids and just be eternally pregnant. I think Ed and I disagree with her on that idea. lol

I went to the doctor's today. I saw a doctor I had never seen him before. He was a very sweet man but he basically told me to suck it up. lol My right ear is irritated (funny cuz it's the left one that hurts!) but that seems to be my only problem. Of course, my nose is VERY stuffed but that is also a "symptom" of pregnancy...He told me to use steam and to drink lots of water. He had very broken English so most of all I just enjoyed listening to him talk.

Well, I hope everyone enjoyed celebrating 200 days left of my pregnancy! 199 days left but I'm not rushing it! Just get me to my second trimester and I'll be happy as a poppyseed!

Off to the Tastefully Simple Party!
