mom bibs needed
ok. went to acupuncture with steveO this am. it was cool. Dr Kim was mixing all sorts of Chinese herbs and putting them away in these apothecary boxes all over the walls. i liked the smell in the room although I can't quite place it. One of those, this smells good, i hope it's not dried rat dung or something gross. Anyway, steve went in, and came out and has one more appointment for tomorrow. i was tempted to ask Dr. Kim if there was anything he could do about this swelling. but it wasn't about me, its was about steve, so i shut up. so this afternoon, i was just sitting at my desk and i got up to get water. the first few steps were a bit of a frankenstein shuffle, then i got momentum and i remembered how to walk normally again. it's fun to watch im sure. anyway, i notice my pant leg is pulling up so i look down to see if it is caught on my sock. um no, my pant leg is actually hiking up my leg b/c my GD calf is so freaking swollen that it's taking prisoners. i felt the burning in my leg but I had no idea that a calf muscle could grow during the day and make your pants into high waters. i promise to post pics b/c this is something that needs to be witnessed. today's white long-sleeve t shirt proved to be a much needed bib. since lunch, i noticed 3 stains on the front which were not there this morning. oops. i wonder if baby would mind if i used one of his 1000 bibs. days til my scheduled induction: 22.
