So let it be written....so let it be done.

Perhaps one of the worst lines in movie history, but oh well. It suits my purposes.

I am having to rethink my battle strategy with the Nausea Bug. This thing is hitting me full force, and is threatening to bring out the commander: Major Pukey. I am loathe to face this vicious opponent, and am desperately hoping that the Major retreats before I even catch sight of him. Sadly, I have a feeling it's only a matter of time before I'm entrenched on the battle field, wielding my bucket, tissues and rinse cup as my weapons. While I am fairly confident that I can be successful in battle with the Bug, the Major is another story all together.

The Nausea Bug has made it difficult to think about writing--only because it involves sitting upright for more than thirty seconds at a time.

My Darling finally let his Mom know that she would be needing another picture frame by Christmas. She guessed the reason easily enough, and, he said, even seemed pleased. This is a humongous relief, since that's a little different than the reactions we received when we announced our other babies. We'll be spending time with my in-laws this weekend, so it was imperative that they know about the Bean before then, as I'm already sporting a cute little poof....the Poof of Proof. I'd have loved to be a fly on the wall when my mother-in-law told my father-in-law about our latest miracle........then again.......
