Yesterday was a stressful day at the office. I figured 3 tacos for a dollar and $2.50 PBR's would get me back on track. Tacos and beer were status quo and the company was great, however I left with work still haunting me. When I got home Thea was laying on the couch looking cute as ever. That alone made me most of my stress wash away. Laying my head on hear lap I began a conversation with Jellybean. In less than 3 minutes and a few good laughs my stress was gone. I've decided to end my days with a little conversation and a smile.
GOOD DAY!!

Things Are Great!!!
Just wanted to let everyone know Thea and Jellybean are doing great. Thea is getting more and more beautiful everyday. Our last doctor visit went super swell. We got to hear Jellybean's heart race at a "meager" pace of 150 beats per minute. In only 5 more weeks, the world will know if it's meeting Sean Danger or Amelia Amara.
More to come later, right now we're taking off for another day in the sun. :-)

PREGNANCY SICKNESS
Although I am very excited about our little jelly bean growing inside me, the first trimester has brought some tough times.
I constantly have a metallic taste in my mouth. Rich came home a few times to find me with a wad of paper towel shoved in my mouth because I feel like I have to constantly spit.
My sense of smell is greatly heightened. I can smell everything! Poor Rich, I tell him not to breathe on me and turn my face away every time he speaks directly at me. It's not that he has bad breath, but it's just this weird scent he exudes that I cannot describe. Also, I am not sure how much cologne Jeffrey douses on himself, but I can smell that stuff hours after he has left the house. It sends me gagging into my room and I have to put a towel under my bedroom door to keep the smell from seeping in. I have stopped cooking as well because of my smell issues.
Nausea strikes me throughout the day, and it's worse in the evenings. The nausea does not usually cause me to involuntarily yak. It just feels like I am constantly hung over all day and that's not a fun feeling.
However, there have been occasions when I do throw up, like last Sunday. I spent the early morning hugging the toilet and barking into the bowl. It was miserable. After that, I told some friends the following day I did not want to be pregnant again based on how I've felt to date. For the last two days, I seriously contemplated adoption if we decide to have another child because I did not want to go through these symptoms again. Then last night, I dreamt I gave birth to quadruplets, 2 boys and 2 girls. The babies were so darling, and I felt such a huge surge of love, joy and happiness. When I woke up, I was really sad and disappointed that it was all just a dream. Despite what I may have felt before, there's no doubt in my mind now that I will be pregnant again if we decide to expand our family….

THE SWEETEST COMMENT
A couple of weeks ago, our nephews, Ethan and Liam came to visit us for the weekend. We had a super busy Sunday, we went back to the Childrens Museum in the morning then to Alberta Park for a picnic and Rich's kickball games. On our way to Alberta Park, we stopped by a minimart to grab some drinks (a 40oz of PBR for Dave). Rich went into the minimart and came back out and asked me if I had any cash because the store did not accept debit cards. As I handed Rich a few bucks from my purse, Ethan yelled from his car seat, "Uncle Dickey! You have to pay Aunt Thea back right away because she has to save up for a baby!!! You owe her ten dollars, no, you owe her twenty dollars!" Chuckling, Rich turned his head and said, "What! That's more than what she gave me!" Ethan piped up and replied, "Well the longer you wait to pay her, the more you owe 'cause she's having a baby!"
I thought that was so sweet...
