get this thing out of me

Not a lot has changed. I'm tired. I'm sick a lot. Sickness is kept under control by constant eating. It's only when my stomach is empty that I am miserable and the nausea takes over. I can tell the baby has kicked my metabolism into high gear 'cause, with all the eating, I haven't gained weight.

Hard to go out with friends because I can't truly participate in many events. The only amusement is the ramblings of drunken associates. Otherwise, I spend my time avoiding smoke, sipping non-caffienated soft drinks, and trying not to fall asleep. Everyone seems excited though.. baby stuff makes people get weird on you.

Had a truly beautiful moment with Jim this weekend. We were laying together on the couch when he placed his hand on my lower stomach and told me he can't wait until I get big. He seems genuinely proud and excited about our pregnancy. I can already sense a slight protectiveness over me.. It's great to have a husband who participates, who is there for me, and who will continue to be there for me during this crucial period of time. I really am taken aback by this and it melts my heart.
