Life on Hold
The word is out that I am PREGNANT.
I'm just shy of 10 weeks along. For the past 3 weeks I have cancelled every appointment, meeting, playdate, and obligation in my life to lie on my couch, trying not to vomit. My poor kids eat Cheeto's for the majority of their meals lately (the all-natural ones at least). Devin does the housework and is being such a help to me.
Last night something weird happened. I noticed that I was sitting up, not lying on the couch. Then I analyzed the feeling in my stomach and realized that nausea was absent! Today was another good day. I still had to do typical things like make emergency runs to the pantry when I got that nasty feeling, or take a break and lie down for a minute and let my head stop spinning, but I actually did things today. I took the kids to the park. I stopped by Selena's house and went to the store. I even went to walking group.
I hope the tide is turning!

The Kindness of Strangers
On Friday we were walking into Trader Joe's when I pointed out a big truck to Sam. Since he's a boy he was very interested. As I was buckling Mollie into the cart, Sam walked over to the truck (which was right next to us on the sidewalk) and started walking up the loading ramp, with his favorite Transformer car in hand. Before I had a chance to get him down, of course the driver of the truck had to walk up. Before he gave me the "get-your-kid-away-from-my-stuff" look, he motioned for Sam to give him the Transformer.
The sweet man took the toy car and told Sam to wait at the bottom of the ramp.
Suddenly the ramp turned into a race course as the truck driver made car sounds and pushed the toy from the top of the ramp to my little boy waiting at the bottom. Sam was doing his high-pitched Barry giggle and could hardly wait to catch his car.
I love that his happened. Thank you to the man who took 30 seconds out of his day to make my little Sam happy.
