Sick and pregnant.

So I have almost overdone it on priding myself in the fact that I survived my first trimester without any morning sickness. I know, I'm kinda superwoman. All part of the goddess thing I'm trying to bring out here. Anyhow, I feel like I'm making up for it now, at week 16...I have come down with a cold (dun dun dunnnnn!). It's pretty terrible. I don't know what I can and can't take because of baby, and I'm hesitant to take my midwife-approved Tylenol, just at the thought of a drug entering my poor fetuses lemon-sized body. So, here I am suffering through it. I guess I couldn't escape this pregnancy thing without a little something miserable entering my life!

But I have to say, having this cold has shown me what an awesome husband I have. I am suuuuper lucky--last night he made me dinner (which I managed not to eat because it had fennel in it, and I read all kindsa weird stuff about fennel, haha), got me continuous glasses of water, warmed up some tea, and even helped me de-louse the house of germs today on his day off. Pretty rad.

Oh, and here's another thing for the books--my husband saved a baby yesterday. Yep! I mean, I'm sure I won't soon forget this, but here's the full story: my hubs went to work yesterday, pulled up in the parking lot, and opened his car door to find a nearby mom looking right at him, standing outside her car, screaming "please help me save my baby!" Uhhhh, what?! Yeah. So he ran over, and asked what was wrong, and the sweet mom, on her way to yoga, had accidentally locked her baby in her car, keys inside and all. Even though it's February, this was an 80-degree day in Southern CA. Yikes. He asked if he could call a tow truck for her, and she said "no, I need you to break in this window!" so he bravely ran inside the nearest business, grabbed a wrench, ran back inside and smashed the drivers side window open (Smash, Smash, SMASH!). The baby was peacefully inside, totally fine, but mom was crying, and forever grateful. When my husband told me this story later in the afternoon, I could do nothing but cry. Sheesh!

What an awesome man I have to do this whole parenthood thing with. Someone to make me tea, save a stranger's baby, and take care of me when I'm sick and pregnant.
