10 weeks 5 days
We used the baby gift we received a
few days ago to break the news to Aunt Marie, Uncle Bill, and Mikey
tonight. We laid the onesie and booties
on the guest bed in the guest bedroom that will likely be turned into a nursery
by March. Then, during the tour (it was
Mikey’s first time here and the first time Aunt Marie & Uncle Bill have
been here since I moved in), we watched their faces as they spotted the onesie
and booties on the bed. Uncle Bill saw
it first, then Aunt Marie realized, and I loved seeing Mikey grin as they all
realized what we were telling them. : )
This past week, the 10th
going on 11th week, has been super exhausting. It was my last full week of summer so maybe
subconsciously my body was realizing that as of Wednesday night next week, life
will change and it will be busy back to school time. The lack of sleep at night and needing naps
just to get through summer days has me wondering how I will handle teaching
four classes, office hours, and all the other fun that comes with the job. I just have to trust God will provide. I am also fortunate to have very supportive
women who all happen to be working mothers in my department. My boss made it very clear when I shared the
news with her that they would all support me so that’s very reassuring!!
Tonight’s dinner and dessert was a
smashing success!!! Nearly everyone had
seconds and raved about the main course which was BBQ sloppy joes. After walking around campus and showing my
family my new office we returned to the house to eat dessert which was Adam’s
chocolate mousse pie (with a baked crust..hehe). The food was so good that several hours
later, after taking my vitamin/Claritin I had leftovers of both the dinner and
dessert. A short while later I paid for
it by being in the bathroom for a long time.
So lesson learned: no food at
night after the vitamin/medicine as it upsets my stomach. If this is what morning sickness feels like,
I’m glad it has been happening at night for me instead. It’s easier to deal with it knowing I can try
to sleep it off by going to bed!
Speaking of food in the earlier post, this is the week of crazy food
combinations. I just ate a plate of
Nilla wafers topped with melted cheddar cheese but it was actually pretty
good! The sweet taste of the cookies
contrasted sharply with the mild cheddar but I don’t think I’ll be giving up my
nachos any time soon. Haha!
