Today I am officially 6 weeks along. Our baby is the size of a pea this week. And hellooooo morning sickness. It hit me like a ton of bricks Wednesday night and hasn't fully let up since. I have breaks here and there, but then it returns. Woohoo.
My saving grace has been Quaker Oats Real Medleys Oatmeal (seriously, you should try it), ginger snaps, my incredible prenatal vitamin that doesn't upset my stomach a bit, and endless bubble baths. Oh! And the fact that the pharmacist told me I can be taking TWICE the amount of antacid I've been taking. Hallelujah!
Phillip has been really sweet to me too. He has pretty much taken over the care of our Murphy because I'm either too tired or he is too rambunctious for me to handle. He is also really patient with my incredible mood swings - never once calling them mood swings. I mean, he took some serious abuse when he didn't answer his phone the first time I called the other day. Seriously, Ashley? Seriously!?
And now it's just about time to enjoy the weekend. Phillip is taking a CHL class tomorrow (yikes!) and I plan on doing even more relaxing. Maybe I'll even clean. Maybe.
Monday I start grad school classes and I'm already overwhelmed just by looking at the syllabi. But it'll be a whole lot of fun.
