week nine

here are some fun updates that i'm sure you're all dying to know :)

- i am SICK! actually, i haven't thrown up in over 24 hours, so that's kind of a big deal :) the day after christmas was the worst (but props to the baby for waiting until after christmas!). i was in bed ALL day... any time i stood up, i puked. the worst! then tuesday nick left for st. george, so i had to toughen up and be a grown up :) so far, so good. just occasional puking... sorry for the gross vernacular.

- i'm finally feeling more awake... i'm sure it won't always be this way, but it's been so nice to actually contribute to the cleanliness of our home. i'm still not stable enough to cook (SO lame!), but i did dishes today and just tidied in general. 

- i have THE best husband. i already knew he was the best, but he has taken incredible care of me. sometimes i think he's taking better care of this baby than i am :) i haven't had to ask him for anything once, he just always knows and is there. he's cleaned, unpacked, cooked, run errands, cleaned some more, rubbed my back while i leaned over the toilet, haha... he's seriously incredible.

- and this is (hopefully!) his last week in st george! i miss having my husband here :)

- i've been a little moody lately. i do NOT like to cry, even when i'm by myself... i think it's so embarrassing. for a few days, though, everything made me cry... fortune cookies, commercials, nothing. :) that's pretty much gone now, and has turned into intense road rage.. ha! nick likes talking on the phone to me while i drive home from work, because apparently i just hate every driver in the whole world, and i say mean things tot hem. if we have an angry child, it's totally my fault!

- i still don't look pregnant, but i'm kind of excited to... i feel silly always having my hand on my stomach when there's nothing visibly there :) luckily my clothes still fit perfectly, though for some reason at night my jeans get tight.

- i haven't had any cravings yet... i just eat whatever doesn't make me want to barf :) and mostly it's been really bland, boring foods. it's sad when the first thing you think as you bite into something is, "how will this taste when i throw it up?" sorry, i know that's disgusting, but it's the truth. if you ever need a list of good things to throw up, i've definitely got one :)

- oh, and please... no one tell me how long your nausea lasted! all i've been hearing all week is, "just wait, it's going to last at LEAST another month!" or, "my wife was sick her entire pregnancy!" ummm... thanks? that's like having the common cold and someone saying, "my cousin died of the common cold" or "my cold lasted three years." lame.


- i've been going back and reading good friends' blogs from when they were pregnant... it's fun to hear other people's takes on their own pregnancy :) so i may have been stalking your blog lately! creeeeepy...

ummm... i think that's it! sorry for being incredibly anti-social lately! i have blown off everyone and everything because i've just felt awful all week. i'm slowly becoming a normal human being again, though. maybe it's the joy of having a four-day weekend! and a husband tomorrow :) and the video games live concert! nerdiness! yayyyy!

so long, and props to you if you read this! i will try to post more exciting things & photos next time!
