This is my sister in law Brittany. She is amazing. She drives all the way to Vancouver from Portland every Friday to watch Jacob. She wont let us pay her. Yesterday, there was a HUGE pile of laundry that was on Eli's to do list all last week since I am not able to lug 100 lbs of linen up and downstairs right now. The house was a mess. The Fridge was so stuffed you couldn't fit anything else in and the smell was HORRENDOUS. So what does Brittany do? She goes and talks to our manager, gets the laundry key, does the 100 lbs of laundry, cleans the house, cleans out the fridge all while taking care of Jacob. All I can say is WOW. Brittany-- Thank you, thank you. You did not have to do that. You are such a blessing in our lives.

So why can't I handle the laundry or the smell of the fridge or to pick up the house? Pregnancy of course. I'm 12 weeks. I vomit every night despite Zofran and am rendered useless after about 5 pm due to the nausea. It's going to do away soon I hope.

I knew it, based on your ever so sly comment in your last post.
How very exciting for you.
I hope you get feeling better soon! I was the sickest at night and nothing seemed to help... I threw up my zolfran even, yuck. You probably know this but they have melt away zolfran that helped a little bit.
Congrats!!

Congrats! Sorry about the get together when I arrived. I didn't know it was Kyle's birthday party so that threw a wrench into everything. We'll catch up to you this weekend though. Rest, relax and get past the nausea. It is miserable being nauseous all the time.
