My coworkers DID end up giving me a gift card for a mani-pedi! Today one of them came by and said "we wish you weren't leaving us but we're excited for the reason. We know your journey has been rough and we wanted you to have some pampering either before or after baby to get away for some time for yourself." It was so sweet I started crying. I asked her who to thank and she wouldn't tell me. I honestly cannot wait for a pedicure. My feet need it so bad. And the thought itself was so sweet. I can't wait to bring Lucy by the office this summer so they can all meet her. I'm gonna miss these people so much.
I have another. So my dog had had mild incontinece problems since she was spayed. She's only two years old next week! But she'll dribble a bit when she's relaxed. I was sitting on the couch with her finally relaxing and putting my feet up after dinner, and had to get up and down from the couch a few more times to get something or to pee. Finally I'm sitting down for what I think will be at least 15 minutes when Phoebe, who had curled up on me, jumps down and hides behind the couch guiltily (which means she knows she's peed--though I never punish her for incontinence). Well, she had in fact peed on me. It smelled terrible. I just started crying because it meant having to clean the couch and take a shower instead of getting to relax. I know it's ridiculous and not her fault anyway but those hormones have me crying about everything. Ugh! And ew!
