Right now I'm debating weither or not to take Tylenol or Tylenol Sinus. I've got a headache that's starting to be piercing.
Today has been busy. We had an early day at the doctors and I didn't sleep that well last night. So it's been considerably long. We walked around a lot of places, Target really pissed me off/annoyed me today. But we got that all sorted out, glad Chris was there. We walked around the super Target in Tulsa, Woodland Hills Mall, and Baby Depot. So I've done a lot of walking. And driving over the snowy spots has been bumpy driving.
Yesterday I sortof did pre-labor stuff, like ride on a bumpy road, walk around (with Mom we walked around Hobby Lobby a bunch), and ate some slightly spicy food (do biscuts and gravy count?). Oh, also I baked... so I did a bit of nesting.
But anyway, today has been a long day, and I've got a major headache. that feels like pierces in my head.
But no baby today. Chris is getting anxious/excited. But yesterday brought about lots of worrry to me. I mean... this is really happening. REALLY happening. It's such an overwhelming feeling. I mean, and not knowing when it's going to happen, how much it's going to hurt, or anything! It's so scarry! I am truely scared, and I know I have to just give it into God's hands. But it truely worries me. I mean, what is this labor thing?! How am I supposed to deal with it? What is it going to be like? I'm so scared about the whole thing... not knowing is scary.
Chris keeps saying that it's all worth it, and it is... but it's just going to be more worrying: I mean, what's going to happen when she's older/outside of my protection?
Anyway, I just worry a lot, I know. But with pregnancy and labor being so close I'm extra emotional. Chris is being so good about everything. He's good at comforting me.

Heartburn and ankles
So the update is I've had some major heartburn the last few days. It doesn't help that I've had to skip out on my daily dose of cold calcium (aka ice cream) because of the sinus drainage caused the soar throat I had for about a week and a half. The soar throat is gone, but I haven't tempted fate too much, because it still makes me cough a little. So heartburn is flairing up. But is apparently a major symptom of pregnancy that doesn't really go away. Pooh.
Anyway, on to the ankle thing: My ankle has been swollen since almost day one (you know, I've talked about it. Just my right ankle). Yesterday, after Sarah Morris (now Honeycutt)'s wedding my ankle was a major pain in the butt. And just a notice, I did not wear heals, so it wasn't that. I wore really comfortable shoes. Anyway, when I woke up this morning it was throbbing so badly! I don't know what I've done. It wasn't throbbing as much as it was busting at the seams, but it didn't look a bit swollen, it just felt that way. It was so bad I couldn't get back to sleep. I had to get up and walk around a bit to get it to calm down. I don't know what or why it is this way. Yes, I've elevated it, it just makes it hurt worse sometimes. Now that I've been on it a while it's ok, throbbing just a little, but completely ignorably. So I'm going to try and attempt a nap and see what happens from there.

Ear, Nose, Throat Dr. Apt
Okay, so I found a doctor that was supposed to be the best in his field, locally. I was in need of an Ear, Nose, Throat doc because of my suspected sinusitis. Dr. Webb, my neurologist, said I might have it due to the results from my last MRI.
My ENT doc, Dr. Leuhr, came highly recommended... on the internet. And the office staff was great, a bit absentminded, but great. When I got with the nurse I had to report the pregnancy, and they wrote it in big letters on the top of the page so that when Dr. L came in he was aware of it.
The problem was he was aware of it and nothing else. He kept saying that pregnant women often get major sinus problems like I was reporting. I kept trying to explain that I'd been having problems since September, but he kept just ignoring that. I mean the MRI even said APRIL on it, which I'm not that far along. Anyway, he finally begrudgingly came around.
When he did, he just said that he couldn't do anything to confirm or treat it because of the pregnancy. Well, he could have just said that earlier. Grrr...
And that's not the worst part, the above just made me frustraited. The part that really pissed me off was when I was leaving he said, "Okay, I'll see you in about six weeks, unless something happens then I'll see you earlier. Hopefully I'll get to see you sooner." Hopefully?! Hopefully?! Basically he's saying that he hopes something happens to the baby so that he can run a stupid CT scan on me! That threw me overboard! As well reccomended as he comes, I don't think I want to return in six weeks. I still can't believe he said that.
