Wheels

I have now gone more than 24 hours without any nausea medicine! This from three pills a day for two months just to keep the nausea at a low swell instead of outright Tummy-Armageddon. As I am three days from my second trimester, I think I might be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel- or is that just my reflection on the porcelain?

Ironically enough, this was possibly the most queasy week I've had. On Monday, I puked up my toes and still managed to make it to work on time. I was a mess, but made it through the day. When I got off work Wesley and I went shopping for our new dishwasher. We were out for about an hour or so and the nausea and tiredness were escalating at warp speed. We purchased an awesome dishwasher (which Wesley and Jared Yates will be so bravely installing- Thank you both!) and headed home.

Then it happened. Two scenarios I had successfully avoided so far, all in one not-so-neat package. Wesley had to witness me puking (not a pretty site At All), and I did it while leaning out of the car on the side of the road. Talk about dignity.

Yesterday I was able to spend several hours at Babies-R-Us. I've started our baby registry. A little preemptive, maybe, but it was a good way for me to get excited about the pregnancy and focus on something other than how tired I feel. The Chicco stroller I picked rates very high with Consumer Reports and is very well reviewed by owners. I'm really excited about it. I played with it for a while and it's light weight, functional, folds easily, and looks nice. I think I might have registered for every kind of receiving blanket they had- I was such a sucker for how cute they are and the thought of my little one being so cozily wrapped in blankets. All together now... Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawe.

Oh- one question. Red or green? Answer in the poll to the left. Thanks!

  1. AWWWW - Wesley should have been holding your hair back and putting cold cloths on your forehead while you puked all along. You're welcome, son. :)

  2. I highly recommend the Chicco highchair, too. We didn't start using it until the Princess was almost 1, and I wish we had it much earlier than that. LOVE Chicco products, great choice. :)

    p.s. - definitely go green. Our high chair is that same red fabric, and believe me - it is RED. And it shows every morsel of goo that Princess throws on it. The gray/green combo is much easier to keep clean. :)

  4. This is a great seat and stroller! We have the green one. I think it goes well with both girls or boys!
