So, I noticed that I’ve been, well, lax in my updating, while my wife has been much better about it than me. Thus, I figured that I ought to drop by and give an update from my perspective.

Work has been about the same as when last I posted; I’m enjoying the work and am being given some of my own projects, which is a good combination of challenging and fun. The apartment is very much our home now, and we’re trying to figure out where to put some baby furnishings.

As Mollie mentioned in her last post, we’re expecting a baby! This is very exciting for both of us, and has introduced a lot of new challenges in our lives. To keep poor Mollie’s tummy happy, our eating habits have gotten a little weird, and there’s lots of last-minute shopping trips or being roused from bed to get new water bottles on my part. I’m really not complaining, though, because even though it doesn’t sound all that fun (and indeed isn’t always), I am overcome with joy at the prospect of having a child, and I am so happy that I can take care of Mollie when she’s not feeling well.

Excepting the baby news, there haven’t been that many new developments in our lives these past few weeks, but that news is probably development enough for a little while.

It’s really in there! We could hear and see the heartbeat on the ultrasound this morning. Don’t feel bad if it doesn’t look like a baby to you, it looks like a grainy blob to me too.
As for me, I am very tired all the time and my life now revolves around eating whatever temporarily relieves the nausea on that particular day. (The magic foods right now are protein bars and Taco Bell. Yum!) Andy has been extremely helpful and patient, putting up with my random cravings and aversions, running to the store at all hours of the night because I’m too sick to go buy the one food that will make me feel better. What a trooper!

That’s all for now, time for my nap.
