Not overdoing it
Posted by Alli on July 30, 2008
I have been helping mom with sorting stuff, keeping my stomach contents in during the evenings, resting, and keeping Fuller occupied with entertainment… thus my lack of blogging.
I just get tired in the evenings and often go to bed with a sour stomach, so I just leave the writing until I feel like I have something important to say.
Helping mom go through papers, music, and crystal has been interesting. She found the receipt from my letter jacket purchase in 1993. It cost $211 total and was from the Balfour company. I remember Mom telling me I would get married in it. I didn’t get married in it, but I did wear it for many, many years. I still have it and might wear it again some day. Or some girl child might inherit it at some point. I thought it was cool to wear my mom’s class ring, someone might think it cool to wear a letter jacket from The Netherlands!
The other day we cleaned out Mom’s music cabinet. We unearthed several recorders which Fuller has found to be a delightful “insument” to play. There is a pile of music that is actually mine, so it will go to Chattanooga with me tomorrow. It was fun to see the sheet music from Christmases past, and remember singing songs of joy and worship in the different churches we were a part of through the years.
Today we do little things, getting ready for some work to be done in my mom’s basement (they have water issues) and pack for our trip tomorrow. Fuller has a friend coming to play for a few hours, which I think should help me not over do it and possibly be more of a help to my mom.
So, there it is. A little update. Anything else you want to know?

Sorry to hear about your sour stomach
Can you take Tums at night before you lie down?

@Sabrina,
I’m due in the middle of February.

@Jules,
That is a great suggestion on the Tums. Since I don’t get heartburn like normal people, it might be heartburn and not morning sickness I am dealing with. I’ll try it!

My OB had suggested Tums, and they really seemed to help at night, plus he said the extra calcium was good for “us.”
