Feeling Good

I was explaining to someone I met the other night about Fibromyalgia and got to the point where I talk about pain levels. I said, "My normal pain level was between a 6 and 8." She wondered how I lived like that and a friend that was sitting and listening asked what my levels are now that I'm pregnant. It was at that point that I realized that my pain has really gone away for the most part. Any little aches and pains I feel don't even rate on the scale I'm used to using. They are just so low. In addition to that, my fatigue is much less. Granted that I am tired, but much of that is just the pregnancy. It's a much different feeling than being fatigued. On a night I get little or poor sleep, I do notice a change in my fatigue levels, but it takes very little to get back to having little to no fatigue. It's such a wonderful change.
Other than that I'm feeling pretty good. The morning sickness is basically gone. I occasionally notice a bit of nausea, but nothing compared to what I had. Some of the food aversions are still around (mainly eggs), but I've been able to prepare a couple of dinners that we then cooked on the grill. It's nice to eat at home again.
I went out and bought my first round of maternity clothes last Wednesday. My best friend from college, Allie, was in town for the day for work and we had dinner together and then hit Motherhood Maternity shop. Allie is great with shopping and helping it be less of a chore for me. She also shops sales and such, like me, which is great. We had limited time, because she had to get to the airport for her flight home, but we managed quite a haul for not too expensive. I got one pair of pants (supposed to be cropped, but hit just a the foot for me), a pant set, a nice dress for the upcoming weddings, a causal dress, 5 t-shirts, and 2 pks of 3 pr of underware. The shirts and dresses were the most pressing items I needed, seeing as my bust has increased in size and much of what I own is no longer appropriate to be wearing to work. I still have several pairs of pants that fit and I can wear to work, so no rush in that area yet.
In other news, we managed to go out and buy a new car to replace the stolen and totaled Accord. We really had intended on just looking, as we haven't gotten the check from insurance yet, but the dealership is willing to hold our check until next Wednesday, allowing for time to get that check. We have the deal worked out for the lowest possible amount we would get, and if we get more, we will renegotiate the contract, likely shortening the length and decreasing the APR while keeping about the same payments. Jeff is very happy with the new car. **EDIT** I just got off the phone with the insurance adjuster and we got around what I expected, perhaps a bit more. We will be able to renegotiate the deal for a year shorter with the same payments and less interest. Yay!! I'll be very happy for this to be all over with.**END EDIT** We got a 2007 Toyota Camry. Very few extras, but it drives quite nicely and with the security system we got in it (for a steal of a price) the car is rated as "nearly unstealable". We are quite pleased and that is more stress that is gone from our lives. We can return the rental car today (which we really don't like). Soon, all of this will be behind us.
That's about it. Next Doctor's appointment is on Thursday.
