The Baby in the Dream
October 2009
Dizzy
They did not have their wine that night.
Seven months into her pregnancy, Brenn was getting frustrated. She could never find where she left her keys, and she was always tripping over her own too feet. That had been going on for a while though, and something new developed that she did not like one bit.
She was dizzy.
Brenn stood up a bit too quickly to get the phone as Angela and Zach walked in, and she pitched forward as the world began to spin around her. Angela managed to wrap her arms around her pregnant friend before she could fall, as Zach got the phone. It was a prank call, and after using a number of big words on the poor kid, which the caller most likely did not know the meaning of, he hung up, turning his attention back to Brenn.
Angela had moved her to the couch on one side of the office, watching her boss' face. The poor woman's eyes were closed, and as she was seated, she sighed. "This is getting old." she muttered, though her employees picked up on it.
"When did this start happening?" Angela managed to ask, as she gently rubbed Brenn's back, trying to make her feel better.
"This week. Every time I stand up too quickly I get too dizzy to stay up. It's normal though. I'll be fine in a minute." was Brenn's answer
"Sure sweetie. Just make sure you let Mr. B know. If there's anything we can do, let us know." Angeela replied, getting up. Brenn seemed to be back to her normal self, and Zach had already excused himself. She stood, smiling at her friend before she left.
Great.
