My New Best Friend

For the first time in months, I am no longer feeling sick. I have a new best friend:

May our friendship be long lived....at least until my morning sickness goes away on its own.

Bless Cubby

I was saying prayers with Addison while I was putting her to bed yesterday. Sometimes I say the prayer, and sometimes I help her say it. I had decided to just say it that night, but as I started praying, she copied everything I said, so I decided to let her continue. This is how the rest of the prayer went.

Mom: Bless Daddy
Addison: Bless Daddy
Mom: Bless Eric
Addison: Bless Eric...and Amy.
(this is the first time she's ever initiated anything in a prayer, so I decide to run with it.)
Mom: And Amy.
Addison: Bless Grandma
Mom: Bless Grandma
Addison: Bless Papa
Mom: Bless Papa
Addison: Bless Cubby
(Cubby is my parent's dog)
Mom: Bless Cubby
Addison: (Long Pause...I decided to start prompting again)
Mom: Bless Mommy
Addison: Um....Bless Cubby
Mom: Bless the baby
Addison: Bless Cubby
Mom: Help Addison Sleep through the night
Addison: Bless Cubby
Mom: In the name of Jesus Christ...
Addison: Amen!

We told Addison we were going to visit my parents next week, and ever since then she's been SOOOO excited to see Grandma and Papa and Cubby....and Cubby...and Cubby. And Cubby.

My girl knows WAY too much for her age.

So yesterday Addison got into the drawer where I keep all my bras. She grabbed a bra and held it up to her chest, and said, "Mom! I have boobs." Oh dear. I knew I shouldn't have told her to stop poking my boobs the other day.

Warning to those with google reader

I tried to document some things of my pregnancy and haven't posted them. I am planning on posting them momentarily, so sorry for the bombardment for those of you with google reader...or some other blog reader...feel free to ignore them. They're not all that interesting...P.S. Thank HEAVENS I'm not having twins!

Nausea and Turkey

So I have decided I will never again be in the first trimester during Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. I LOVE to cook! So I LOVE trying out recipes at Thanksgiving.


This year, I can barely choke down cold cereal, let alone handle all the used-to-be-wonderful smells of the holiday. Our family has been lucky if we have three actual meals a week. I have purposely tried not to think about all the food I love because I'm worried if I think about something I'll suddenly be running for the toilette, and there will be no chance of me being able to choke it down on the blessed Turkey day.


I do have a secrete weapon in my back pocket though: Zophran. This, from what I hear, is an anti-nausea medication often given to Chemo patients. The stuff that my doctor prescribed for me does absolutely nothing, so he gave me a prescription for Zophran. The down side: my insurance won't pay for it...stupid insurance...oh well, I can have a baby for $100, so I really shouldn't complain. This little pill is a little dose of heaven (according to several friends). Unfortunately, a 10 day supply costs like $75!!! This price dashes any hopes I may have had of not being nauseous for the rest of the holiday season, but we have decided we will get one dose in hopes of a semi-decent Turkey day (not to mention a semi-decent plane ride to and from California).


I plan on starting it next Sunday...the countdown is on!!!
