There's a fundus among us

I'm just back from a check-up at my doctor's office. I now go once a week to check the height of the "fundus" (the top part of the uterus) and the McNugget's heartbeat. The McNug appears to be in tip top shape and even kicked back at the machine detecting the heartbeat when it pressed into the McNug's 'hood. This could be one territorial kid.

Things are otherwise good on the complaint front. Not too much to report. I have pretty much given up on getting comfortable in a sleeping position but fortunately some nights I am so tired that I just fall asleep no matter how uncomfortable I am. Last night I suffered from some insomnia, probably related to some stress at work, but Jonathan was very helpful in calming me down and getting me to focus on resting. He's been a great partner in all of this.

I can also report some exciting news on the travel front. I was dreading the fact that I was initially given a middle seat on each leg of my travels and after lots of agonizing and calls to the airline, I finally found a sympathetic ear who agreed that I need special assistance and gave me a primo aisle seat at the front of the plane for each flight. They even offered me a wheelchair. While a wheelchair would be a childhood flying fantasy come true, I think I'll skip it. I enjoy walking around and getting whatever exercise I can in with this bump in front of me.
