And the morning sickness has reared it's ugly head! Yesterday Rick decided he wanted to make beef stew. I love beef stew! What's not to like?? I was looking forward to a warm stew after the Bronco game. My body had other ideas. The moment Rick dropped the onions in the saute pan I felt myself turn green. I immediately had to retreat to the bedroom where I spent the next four hours under the covers trying to suck up the smell of any detergent still left on the sheets! I could not believe how powerful my sense of smell had suddenly become! I could smell the stew everywhere! Rick even opened all the windows downstairs as well as one in the bedroom. But the smell was wafting under the bedroom door and it was all I could do to not vomit all over my bed. Even as I write this my mouth is watering remembering the scent. ACK.
Tomorrow we head to the doctor to get our first real ultrasound. If this morning sickness is any indication, then we should see a healthy heartbeat! I'm nervous, but hopeful it will all go well!
Update on mouse situation: Since my last post we've set six traps. We also had the Orkin guy come out and assess the situation. He said we don't have an infestation THANK THE LORD, but maybe one or two in the house. He showed Rick where he thought they were entering the house (a big crack along the front of the siding) and suggested we buy some foam to fill the hole. Rick accomplished that task...I wish I had video taped that adventure. Dressed in his work pants, a heavy coat, gloves, and a brand spanking new head lamp, he went to work. The work pants are now covered in foam (ie ruined) and the front of the house now has character. We haven't seen a mouse since...fingers crossed the mouse problem is no longer a problem. Time will tell...
