I bet most of you have heard me whining about the big news on facebook and those of you who haven't, heard it from my mom. So this could be old news but for the sake of the blog not falling into cyberspace, I figured we should write about it. We are expecting a new addition to our home!
Guess the former paragraph needs some clarification. Both Josh and I are beyond excited to be parents and welcome a baby into our lives- that's something I don't think even I could be selfish enough to whine about. Surgery, and lots of prayers made this possible and I wouldn't take it back for Wonka's Chocolate Factory. (BTW- chocolate used to be my main food group and now even smelling it makes my stomach feel like hot tar.) My source of contention comes from the all day, every day "morning" sickness. I have a hunch that whoever named the dreaded baby disease "morning" sickness was a man doctor who had a scientific, but fairly lame explanation behind the title. Although still ill, this last Thursday was my one week anniversary in three months of not puking or napping vicariously (this is the part where everyone knocks on wood). With the passage of time, my midwife prescribing me Zofran, and "Dr. Who", things are looking up.
Josh exchanged his summer for a Physics class and very odd and long work hours punctuated by his wife's pleas for sympathy and exotic foods. Poor guy. He is surviving and so am I.
Wish this wasn't such a morbid depiction of our lives right now, but be grateful that I am writing a mostly honest blog. It could be the first you've read in a while. All puking a physics aside, we are blessed beyond measure and very happy to have this marvelous blessing;)
