My wonderful husband (for real) - 9/10/08 - 14w 4d

I cannot even begin to tell you how great Rob has been through all of this. If you read the post before this one, you know about the chicken nugget and newly impeding morning sickness (which is actually bad ALL day). Well that chicken nugget took us about an hour to get.

I was so hungry but nothing sounded good. We drove around looking for somewhere to eat for at least an hour and I had been thinking about where to eat for at least an hour before that. He named every fast food, sit-down, fine dining restaurant in our area. He even asked about Tai, and he HATES Tai. I told him that I knew I was being a pain but couldn't help it and he said that it was ok and it was just important that I could find somthing to eat. We finally settled on Chick-fil-A after we had been to Popeyes and left. Well all of a sudden, I see McDonalds and plain salty fries and bland chicken nuggets sounded good so he got over and I got my happy meal, sans toy.

I always joked that when I got pregnant he owed me for when he was sick last year and I took care of Ang-Rob (angry Rob) as he was refered to. He really couldn't help it being in so much pain and all but he was a butt. But really he has been so much help already and I know that he will be a wonderful father too!

2nd Trimester! - 9/10/08 - 14w4d

So I am officially in the 2nd tri according to ALL of the baby books and on-line websites. Some say 12w, some say 13w3d, some say 14w. What an awesome feeling.

I had my 2nd Dr appt last week. Rob was busy doing boat things so I invited my mom to come along. It was a pretty short routine appt and we got to listen to the heartbeat again. My mom and I still think it's a girl and Rob of course is still pushing hard for a boy.

So I really thought that I was going to evade morning sickness but alas I was wrong. Seems that my baby hates me now in the 2nd tri instead of the traditional 1st tri morning sickness. I think Rob almost died in laughter when I got up from lunch at my moms and so casually walked out on the deck and threw up, totally the highlight of his afternoon. Then I proceeded to finish my lunch. Luckily no one else was around, I was not laughing but did feel much better. It's weird sometimes I feel like a 2year old, I will bite something and spit it right out. It happened in the car last night with a chicken nugget and poor Rob thought I was going to throw up in his car, nope just spitting my chicken nugget into my hand.

Still a disaster area - 9/5/09 - 13w5d
