I ordered my entire dinner off the kids menu tonight. :) The menu here is very substantial, but I think after 50 days or so (just guessing . . . no calendar in front of me), it will be nice to change things up.
Had another heart episode today. Thank goodness it's just being brought on by the pregnancy. It was so strange, I was just laying in bed and hadn't gotten up for at least an hour when all of a sudden I felt like I couldn't breathe and my heart was racing (later found out it was over 200 when normally it lies around 90 or so). There was all kinds of commotion in here for a bit, with a respitory person and a crisis nurse and and heart person all sticking things on me. They did an EKG and just like before, it didn't show anything abnormal. I guess so far my body has self-corrected every time the heart thing has happened, but I still don't like going through it!
My mom came by with Allie while the two little ones were sleeping. Allie played the Nintendo DS my brother got for us for Christmas (he had to explain what it was to me because I had no clue what to do with it!) After a while I told her to get off of it and come cuddle with me, which she did, and at that point my mom tried to play. It was too funny watching Grandma play and listen to her comments; Allie and I were cracking up. It was great to laugh so hard again.

You know, I had something similar happen to my heart when I was pregnant with my first. I would just be sitting there and then all of the sudden it would start racing and feel like i couldn't breath. I finally went in for it and they ran all the tests and such and could never find anything wrong. They told me it was just my body reacting to labor. *shrug* who knows. You are in good hands, I'm sure. :)
I need to come see you.
I deal with heart stuff occasionally - never fun. And they always tell me I check out fine. I'm so glad you were okay even though I know it was not cool to go through.
So you didn't mention WHAT you ordered off that kids menu! :)
Holy cow! I didn't know you were having heart problems too on top of everything else! I'm glad everything is okay though!
D -- bean and cheese burrito, milk, cookie. :)
you are such a trooper. i have heart issues too. they are under control with medication now but i can empathize on how much they stink.
on another note...how about them massages twice a week. i guess if you ahve to be in the hospital you may as well enjoy it. hang in there girl, the end will be here soon.
next time, remember to bare down and push. it really does work.
i can't believe there are so many of us out there with heart issues. scarey!!!
didn't know that you were dealing with this too!! continuing to send many prayers and hugs from hawaii :)
