Nope, been off work for almost a week and a half. I teach at a year-round school, so I don't get a traditional "summer break". We get our 11 weeks off (paid) spread out over the school year in chunks. My first break was Oct 9-Nov 1. But of course I spent all last week in my classroom doing work, planning, etc.
I was TOTALLY not nervous until 2-3 days ago. Now I am a wreak. I am not sleeping, nauseated, stressed, butterflies, etc. Not about the wedding/marriage, but I guess about the step I'm taking.
But Xanax helps so much.
Things are kinda sucky for me right now though.... For two reasons.....
First, I got bloodwork back from my doc yesterday and my Thryoid is malfunctioning. I had to be referred to a specialist to do further investigating. It is likely I will have to be medicated for the rest of my life. Plus, if I don't get it under control, a full-term pregnancy is unlikely. The risk of miscarriage dramatically rises, plus there could be effects to the fetus (on mental function and IQ). The doc was NOT concerned, said it was no big deal, but that I cannot try to conceive until things are stabilized. It could stabilize with meds quickly or may take longer, they don't know. I have an appt with the Internal Medicine doc tomorrow. So we'll see.
THEN, get this, I went for my final fitting yesterday, and my dress DIDN'T FIT. I am so bloated/retaining water from PMS! It was a good 1/2 inch too small around my abs/ribcage/chest. It zips, but BARELY and is VERY VERY uncomfortable. So I have eliminated salt and am trying to dehydrate myself.
*sigh* But all in all, I am so so so so so happy to be getting married in THREE DAYS!
