Learning the hard way

I was going stir crazy, so I begged my husband to let me go with him to the grocery store. That’s exactly how pathetic my life has become. A trip to the grocery store, something I normally loathe, becomes beg-worthy. I just needed to get out of the house, you know?

Like most of my big ideas, this was a bad one. Halfway through the store, I began to contract and cramp. I was so disappointed. I was convinced that my OB had put me on bed rest as a “precautionary measure.” I’m totally fine, really I am. I don’t really need bed rest. I can do things. I was good all week, so a trip to the store is ok. I went through the denial and bargaining phases of grief all while in the frickin’ produce section.

Consequently, I’ve felt like crap all day. Achey and sore. Tired. And worried that I’ve done irreparable damage. All in all, not worth it.

Lesson officially learned the hard way. And something tells me, it’s the first of many.
