Wow

I ate food today. We went to my grandma’s to sit in the pool a bit before having a barbecue dinner at her place. I was worried the smell would be an immediate no for me, but it wasn’t. And I couldn’t eat the majority of what was on the meal plate, but I was able to trade for the pieces I could eat from my grandma, and I have the rest of my plate to my mom and my husband. And the wait staff even managed to bring me an extra piece of one item that had been particularly satisfying for me.

So, in the end, I ate a lot. A full meal. Not just a meal – a full meal. I even had a few of the dessert bites in the lounge afterward, and discovered that I was actually kind of stuffed after having eaten them. I hadn’t realized just how much I had eaten. And I couldn’t dwell on it. I just hoped it would stay down and digest fully and nourish us well.

So far, it seems to have done so. We are six hours after the fact, and I feel relatively okay. A positive sign, though only more time will tell for sure.

Okay, anyway, aiming to sleep now.

God, bless this night that we sleep well and effectively. Nourish us with the food I have eaten today, please. Keep this baby and me safe and well, please. Keep my husband safe. In your name, I pray. Amen.
