BAM!! AGONY! PAIN!!! CRAMP!!!!
Trevor was up in a flash and had to shove Rhapsody away who had rushed to my side to see what was wrong. He grabbed my leg and quickly started to stretch it and massage my calf muscle which was now a tight little ball. All I could do was lie there and breathe...lots of breathing.
Now, this is not the first time I've had a cramp in the middle of the night. (Ok, it's only the second time it's happened since I've been pregnant.) Last time I was clearly lacking potassium so a constant supply of bananas meant freedom from the cramp threat. This time around we suspect I'm not getting enough water and salt.
Anyhoo, all this happened around 3am. While Trev went back to sleep, I hobbled to the kitchen for Rehidrat because I was too scared to fall asleep again. My trusty bodyguard, Rhappy, faithfully followed. I didn't manage to fall asleep until well after 5am and so I'm a bit fuzzy today. I'm also limping because my leg hurts but at least I got the muscle stretched out.
(Where was Buttons through all the late night commotion you ask? She did what she does best: Let Rhapsody run off and waited on their bed to see if it was worth her while to get up. And then she went back to sleep *face palm* So much for the affectionate nature of Jack Russells.)
So, what's the best cure for my half-asleep limping state? According to my mom and Nicci, a day of swimming at the Arabella hotel. I'm being "kidnapped" from work to go frolic at the pool and I shall be returned to my husband later.
Hey, I'm not complaining :-)
