The Past Week or So

I'm still alive. I have been hanging on. I am taking Zofran and have resorted to pressure point bracelets. I feel somewhat better.

I am posting during school. Yes I am. I have an intern and she is incredible. She is teaching all three class and doing a great job. As we speak she is playing vocabulary charades with fourth block. Its going to be a great semester.

The weather lately has been much better.... meaning it is above freezing. Noah and I have ventured outside to play some with the neighbors. The neighborhood girls went out to celebrate the newest baby girl on the block by showering the mom with diapers while eating the best cheesecake ever! I have been hoarding my leftovers, eating a little bite at a time.

We celebrated Baby E at a beautiful shower. We spent time with our families. We played Beatles Rockband. And enjoyed it thoroughly.

Noah continues to test us both. Adam told him to stop throwing food off the table and Noah's response was: No no Daddy, you stop it. He is definitely two. He is mouthy and adorable all at the same time. I am about to start the star chart and rewards. He is a smart little bugger. I think he gets it. Like last week he kept getting timeout and I said if you don't get timeout tomorrow we will get ice cream. Sure enough there was no hitting, biting or scratching. So to TBCY we went, only to find it was closed. He was flexible enough to accept ice cream for the grocery store. So more bribes are on the way. This may include some potty activity. Last week he said, I have to potty, striped off his clothes and peed on the floor. Okay. That's a start, I guess.

Adam continues to amaze me in his selfless sacrifice for our family. Last night he camped out after work in 40 degrees to get Noah and Baby a spot at a new daycare in the fall. He was the second in line and both are in! What a great daddy!

This morning was my second OB visit. I got demoted two weeks. But Dr. Ingram agrees that it is probably in the middle. So I think I eleven weeks. the new date says I am nine weeks. and Dr. Ingram says I am probably ten and a half. Since we heard the most precious sound in the planet this morning. Baby's heartbeat. She said that would be almost impossible if I really was nine weeks. So I'm going to say I'm ten weeks. Thirty more to go.

Adam, You are da man. What an incredible Dad. To finish work and then go camp out all night to get your children in the best daycare. What a gesture of love and devotion.
