I am so grateful to have a husband. Not only b/c I have an amazing person to spend my life with and a buddy to do everything with, but really, for the most selfish reasons, having a husband cuts down on the amount of vomiting I do.
Walking with an empty stomach is dangerous and leads to a lot of time in the bathroom.
Tim just woke up and went to safeway to satisfy my new craving - and he never complains. He really is the best in the whole world.
We also entertained 30 of MY family members on Thursday and so far I've done about 1/25th of the cleaning and he's done the rest.

Finally, a decent book
I'm reading "The Birth Partner" by Penny Simkin and am relieved to have finally found a good book on how to be of some use during all of this. Not that I didn't find the other books written for guys really amusing in their caveman level advice: "she's pregnant not fat, so don't make fun of her for gaining weight" said one. My feeling is that if you need that advice I'm wishing that you hadn't chosen to reproduce already.
Anyway, "The Birth Partner" has actual real, detailed advice like making sure to turn up the water heater temperature if you are planning a home birth and will need many gallons of hot water for the birthing tub. And that I need to make sure that I've been lifting weights and doing cardio so that I can be ready for the possible 24 hours plus of labor where I may have to press on her back to relieve pain, help hold her in a more comfortable position, etc.

Food of the day
Yesterday I devoured a whole turkey sandwich. It was my first real meal in weeks.
Today I'm having apple juice and tater tots with lots of ketchup.
Yum.

These hormones are out of control.
Yesterday there were Christmas carols on the radio and I started SOBBING in the car.
And, last night, Bubbs and I were practicing "part of that world" (from the little mermaid) for darian and I started sobbing again.
Amazing how much power stupid music has over me.
And the morning sickness has turned into truly that. I throw up every morning (or dry heave), and then just feel nauseated for the rest of the day.
