"Doesn't make sense to me."

Monday, February 25, 1991
     I forgot to mention it when Daddy called.  I think it was two weeks ago Friday.  He said he just wanted to let me know Mom wasn't doing as well.  She's not sick but he said she just sleeps most of the time.  I asked about her weight & he wasn't sure about that.  I think he said the dr. is seeing her twice a week now.  
     After that I started worrying of course.  But I haven't heard anything from him since then so I guess she hasn't gotten any worse.  I told him that if anything was to happen I didn't know if we'd be able to come home.  He said everyone would understand.  But that'd be awful.  
     Yesterday was Guy's birthday - 36!  I gave him a nice card and a subscription to Readers' Digest.  We went to Chi-Chi's for lunch after church (he had the day off).  We had invited Gabrielle last week to go with us but she'd forgotten and said she had to go to work.  So we invited Deanna & treated her.  It was nice.  We saw Carole & the girls there and the Johnstons.  Gabrielle is the new single that we were planning to adopt.  I don't know if we'll get to now though.  She showed up at church last night with an engagement ring.  Chris Hurst is an ensign in the Navy and has been going to Granby for awhile but just placed membership.  They haven't set a date yet.
     I started writing at the dr.'s office this morning.  I saw Dr. Via this time.  He was ok I guess, didn't seem too concerned about anything, even that I'd lost 1/2 lb. since last time.  He said the baby sounded fine.  He did say I should start coming in weekly now.  And that I should have a non-stress test.  I looked it up in "What to Expect..." and it says they hook you up to a fetal monitor and check the response of the baby's heartbeat to it's movements.  It should accelerate immediately after each movement and twice in 20 min. is good.  I just hope she'll be moving around at that hour - 10:00 AM.
     I got home about 12:10.  Guy was in the shower.  He hadn't eaten yet but he heated up some stew he took out of the freezer the other day.  I managed to eat all he gave me, even though he left before I was done.  I was planning on taking a nap this afternoon but ended up working on this little cross-stitch thing for Gayle.  It says 'Rob's Honey-Do Jar' and has 2 little bees and a honeycomb background.  It's for a jar lid.  I've almost got the design done.  The hard part may be putting it together - it's been so long since I've done one.  I need to get working on my skirt tomorrow.
     I've been coughing up a lot of stuff the past week.  I guess the humibid is working.  But since Sat., there's been blood mixed in with it sometimes.  More in the morning, I think.  I'm glad I'm seeing Dr. Baker Thu.  Guy's supposed to have the day off but we got a morning appt. so he could go even if he had to work.
     I remember waking up 2 or 3 times last night but I guess I went right back to sleep.  It's funny but it seems like I'm tireder on the days when I slept well the night before than when I can't sleep or just toss & turn.  Doesn't make sense to me.
