I'm not going to lie to you, my twisted sense of humor and love of chili peppers and our baby-to-be makes this costume a completely rational decision on my part. Torture, you might say, for the infant? Bah! There will be time for Batman or princess outfits, so why not take advantage of this time to impact the child on an elementary level.
Things at our house are pretty status quo. Mandi has been battling nausea and searching for a light at the end of the zofran tunnel. The diet is still set to "whatever" and she's making it to work. Weekends are still recovery time from the week's activities. This past weekend, I went camping with the Boy Scout troop that I work with. Sadly, Mandi was left alone on Saturday. I felt bad about it, but it seems to have turned out ok. It's amazing how she is managing to maintain. The power of motherhood...fueled by gatorade and pigs-in-a-blanket. She is in her 12th week and hopefully will enter her second trimester soon, which should be a time of eating and expanding and hopefully getting out for walks!
