OC working backward

Starting from now, and going backwards...

I got an extrememly painful charlie horse this morning.  Jeff had just left to get the dog, and I called him in a panic to come home.  It was the length of my leg and walking it off wasn't working.  It finally did go away, but that's the second one in 4 days so I'm a bit concerned.

We got home around 4 am.  We left last night to avoid wasting a day doing nothing and getting home late.  Jeff likes to be home for a day off before going back to work.  It sucked leaving so late, but as he said, he only sucked for one day instead of two, as driving home with an awake/alert child today would have been worse.

Last night in the bathroom, doing her usual Echo screaming, Grace yelled "Mommy Grace Lucy Nicky!"   This is indicative of how often she includes him in the family list, and I'm glad she already sees him as a member of the family.  At dinner last night several times she picked up a toy for a nearby baby and stated that she would do the same for Nicky.  He is well incorporated in to her language and thoughts.  Of course, he did come after Lucy, and Daddy wasn't in there at all, so hmmm.

We had a very nice trip, did all the "usual".  I even went swimming in the ocean twice.  Note to self... get one piece bathing suit regardless of body situation.  I fear some people at the beach on Saturday saw a bit more of me than they would have liked.  It was interesting swimming while pregnant, I was being bounced around by my (water filled) stomach.  The waves were giving me a beating while standing with Jeff and Grace though, and I started to think it wasn't such a bad way to bring on labor if one is overdue.  Luckily, the BH were at a minimum all weekend, which I'm thankful for because being away from home is a bit nervewracking.

I suddenly decided I need to go lay down, so perhaps I'll update more later.
