I found this great quote:

"“False friends are like our shadow, keeping close to us while we walk in sunshine but leaving us when we cross into the shade."

Wow. Well, how true it is. I've learned this the hard way these past few years and I have a feeling that I'm going to re-learn this lesson many times in the years to come. I have a hard time accepting that there really are "fair weather friends" even though I've been shown this to be true time and time again.  I've done this countless times, this trying to breathe breath into relationships that aren't worth it, trying desperately to find a reason/excuse why someone would desert me or treat me badly... Of course this quote is also true when thinking about love relationships too!
I wonder if there's a point in our lives where we just give up and don't care any more? I mean, how long can a heart continue to beat for something even when it's obvious there's nothing there any more?

Maybe I'm just a glutton for punishment!

Ian is currently working on the Bowflex. He is, in his words, "getting strongly". He is lifting 20 pounds right now and he's so proud of himself! It's amazing to watch my four year old work out at the same weight I do!

The appointment today went well. It was quick, that's for sure! We heard the heart beat which the doctor said was "good and strong", they drew more blood, and then I got my BP and weight done. I've only gained 2 pounds total! And my BP was 120/65 which is high for me, but still OK for pregnancy. I asked her about my breathing; she said it's "normal" and that I need to watch my posture. Er, OK...

So, my next milestone is the 12th of June when I go for my "big" ultrasound and meet with the specialists to discuss my clotting disorder, dangers I may face during the labor, what I can and can't have for medication during delivery (gulp!). Sean's coming with me for this appointment and we're going to find out the gender. However; we aren't going to tell anyone until the birth! I think that'll be fun!!
