Maternity Pants & Birthdays

Friday night was my last night of suffering in my tightly buttoned regular pants. At home I'd pretty much been living in pajama pants and sweatshirts feeling like a homeless person with a home. We took a trip to Target & I got two pairs plus one I had already that I ordered online. It was amazing how much more comfortable I felt... ahhh relief.

Saturday after going out for Gregory's 24th birthday I told my brothers (only Damian & Greg were there) and Greg said he knew because he was on my computer at work the day before, and Damian knew because he overheard mom talking to me on the phone.

But- no big deal, they, being the brothers that I know them to be, were not overly excited but I'm sure once there is an actual baby it will be much more interesting.

The funny thing was that while I was picking out his birthday card, I was looking at the "Brother" birthday cards and nearly started crying because they were all the lovey-dovey ones, it does amuse me how easily I will choke up over the smallest things.

John told his mother on Sunday - she is very excited and I am glad that we are able to give her something to look forward to & talk about, so for that I am very happy to make her life more interesting because it can get quite boring being is Assisted Living 24/7.

The morning sickness & nausea continue, it's really exhausting and ice cream unfortunately is the only thing that makes my stomach feel OK, anything else I pretty much have to force down.

I also have a terribly hard time sleeping at night and last night I actually slept in the guest room because even though John's snoring is not ridiculous, any noise will bother me and keep me awake for pretty much half of the night.

I've only cooked 2-3 times in the past 4 weeks and John is telling people that if he wants to hide something from me all he has to do is put it in the oven! I do feel guilty about not doing much around the house but he is very understanding and is picking up some of my slack.
