Today a co-worker came up and asked how I was feeling. She said "you really looked like you weren't feeling well last week, but you seem MUCH better today!" and then it hit me! I hadn't even realized that I felt fairly normal today (other than my sore boobies and bulging poochy tummy). In fact, I have felt reasonably well since Friday. I am just so glad because I want to enjoy this. Is it possible that the worst is over? I was thinking about the comments I got a couple of posts ago. I want this experience to be something I enjoy every second of, not something I wish away. I have about 7 months to go . . . I should enjoy this time and use it to plan, to think, to dream. In 7 months, things will never again be the same. I am looking forward to using this time to get to know my husband in an entirely different way. I have never seen him so excited about something.
And another thing, pregnancy is great for getting things you want. :-) I don't mean that in an obnoxious way at all. It's more funny than anything. Here's an example:
Before church yesterday . . .
Me: The peanut wants some Indian food.
James: I'm not really in the mood.
Me: Would you deny your child something it wants?
James: But we ate it the other day.
Me: Too bad. The peanut has spoken.
And you know what? By the time church was over, I had changed my mind (those cravings are funny like that) but I'm certain James would've honored the peanut's request.

I have a friend who is due any day now who refers to their baby as peanut. I think that is adorable!
