"Morning" Sickness

I wasn't going to complain about the first trimester sickness thing on here because I felt like everyone knows about it and every woman goes through it but sheesh... It gets old SO fast. I sleep more than should be humanly possible and still I can barely keep my eyes open. I really shouldn't whine too much though, because I have been able to avoid the vomiting aspect of morning sickness for the most part. But this exhaustion is slowly driving me insane. Plus, I'm kind of an a-hole all the time. Poor Dave, poor dogs. I have no patience at all and frankly, I have become a curmudgeon. It's not pretty. But I am at the beginning of week 9 and I will make it through the ugly side of pregnancy, just like everyone, and I am sure I will barely remember what it was like when it is all through... Right?

Today is a good day!

I am so proud of my country and I am so happy to stand behind our next President! I have been so excited about the possibilities that are ahead of Dave and I with our new little one - but now I am overcome with emotion at the thought of our child being born into a country where an African American man who comes from a single mother on welfare can become the President of the United States of America. YES WE CAN! Change is on its way little baby, and you will be here to witness and participate in it.
