Are you down with the sickness?

This week my luck ran out... although I haven't had a full on pukefest, my days of feeling good seem to be over. Most mornings I am queasy lasting into the early afternoon. I get a short break in the afternoon and then the late night queasy begins. I decided to skip my prenatal last night since I was already feeling so cruddy and I slept great! As an added bonus, I woke up feeling amazing and didn't start feeling icky until I got overly confident and waited too long to eat dinner. If only I could skip the prenatals everyday without affecting the baby...

On another note (since I'm trying really hard not to turn this into a pregnancy blog), I had to chuckle this morning. Alex is always trying so hard to be a good husband. If he doesn't focus his efforts he can come off detached and uncaring, even though this is far from his intention. Lately he's been working on being more attentive. Unfortunately he usually falls short by putting his attention in the wrong areas. This morning was the exception. He did something so simple, but it completely made my day - he put my laundry in the dryer. No big deal, right? But it was a big deal because I was SO tired and was in the midst of an incredible sleep, which doesn't happen very often these days. So I had my little, "Aw, he does care" moment... and then I drifted back to sleep. The funny part is when I called him later and told him how nice that was and thanked him profusely, he was completely baffled. He's like, "Wait, are you serious? That was really a big deal to you???" Maybe it finally clicked that it doesn't have to be something big and grand, the small acts of kindness mean so much and are so appreciated. Seriously. He seems surprised at this even now, even though I know I've told him time and time again, it's the small things that really make the difference. Maybe we need to work on retention...

Not much else happening in our world... for now. We'll be moving out of this house in July and into an apartment, hopefully a nice cheap one that will be much smaller and easier to keep clean. We are also starting to look at grad schools, but don't have any firm prospects yet.

That's the news.
