This is going to be a really random post, but I thought I would write about a few things that I am thankful for right now. I had the best week ever last week. I had a big break from Cooper one day (thanks Amy!), Derek sacrificed his day off on Wednesday to allow me to use a gift certificate for a massage and a pedicure, my friends planned a little shower for me on Friday night, and I overall felt great all week. Finally!
I am also thankful for a dentist that came to my rescue on a Saturday afternoon when I thought I was going to die from the worst toothache ever. Seriously... It was that bad! He filled a cavity several months ago and it decided to revolt against me over the weekend. I'm pretty sure it was the worst pain I have ever felt. He was kind enough to take care of some prescriptions for me and luckily the pain is under control now. My day of misery actually was an eye opening experience that being pregnant might not be as comfortable as I'd like, but it sure is bearable.
The last thing I am thankful for right now are my taste buds. Most of you have heard me complain about my tongue being numb. Well, the same dentist that I was previously thankful for, while filling the previously mentioned tooth, hit a nerve and half of my tongue has been dead since August. The numb feeling doesn't bother me too much any more, but the lack of taste buds can get depressing! At first I thought it would be a good diet since I can't taste very well, but it actually has the opposite effect. It takes more yummy things to satisfy my cravings. It is very very annoying! But the purpose of this post really wasn't to complain about my lack of taste buds, it is to celebrate the fact that I can at least taste on half. My good friend Cari was in a car accident about a year ago and lost her ability to taste completely. I can not imagine having them completely gone. So this thanksgiving, I'm VERY thankful for the left side of my tongue that will be able to taste a delicious Thanksgiving dinner.
Happy week before Thanksgiving everyone!
And after my last post, if anyone was wondering, I REALLY do feel great right now! Honest! : )
