The Universe said "ha!"
Why oh why did I mention that nothing was happening? Ye olde contractions started in earnest Sunday. The ibuprofen helps somewhat but it seems like I'm spending a lot of time with the feeling that my uterus is a clenched fist. And I'm amazingly tired. I think all the clenching it using up my energy. I have my scheduled appointment today and will have things checked out, but I assume this is like last time; that I'll have lots of contractions before anything serious happens. That this will just be a race against keeping my sanity and being able to sleep. Sounds like a lot of fun? I'm hoping having done through this once before that I can cap the worry to reasonable levels. I'm 19 weeks, so still some weeks to viability and good baby health. Go little boy go!
I attended a great work retreat last week.
I finally worked up the nerve to ask to be switched to different work. I've worried that its been too long since I've done other things that my performance would suffer if I tried something new. My one recent project with the other company leader has gone great and my old area of work, under team leader, has continued to be frustrating.
I made my pitch for the change in person to boss 2 on Friday and yesterday (via email) to boss 1. Another co-worker even offered to back me up on the new work (I'd be taking some of a very heavy load off of her). Boss 2 seems very willing even with my limited time in the office. Its perfect timing for my old work which has dropped off precipitously.
Now if I can just stay off of bed rest.
