I just started throwing up...I didn't do that with either of my last two pregnancies. So, I guess every pregnancy truly is unique. The good news is, I don't feel sick at ALL in the morning or throughout my day (as long as I am continuously eating...I am snacking every two hours, it is ridiculous) until about 4 p.m. as I am trying to get dinner ready. Then right around dinner, I throw up and feel much better. At least their is some relief and I don't feel nauseous until bed time like I did before throwing up...I would feel sick all evening...so, for this I am thankful.
I'm also thankful for my sweet Charlie who has cooked more than half the dinners since I started feeling so nauseous. He is an expert at breakfasts for dinner, grilled cheese sandwiches and grilling.
Anyway, I know you didn't come to read about me puking...so...on to the Friday Funnies:
Before Asher went to bed, I was eating some Coffee Punch that was leftover from Ashley's wedding shower. (It's like the next best thing to having Blue Bell in your freezer and I don't even like coffee! I'll share the recipe below.)
And an hour and a half later, Asher was still awake, so Charlie went to go talk to him:
A: Daddy, I want to tell you a story.
D: You can tell me a short story, because you really need to be asleep.
A: OK... Once upon a time, Mommy made some coffee punch and saved some for me.

Daddy takes McKlayne potty outside at the park:
(After tee-teeing while Daddy was holding her in a squatting position, legs out)
M: Daddy, I want to do it again.

We were standing in line at the store a couple days ago and a beautiful young Asian teen with long hair piled up on top of her head was behind us in line talking to her friend.
McKlayne pointed behind me and said: Look, Mommy! There's Ni-Hao-Kai-lan! I see Ni-Hao-Kai-Lan!
(My kids don't even watch that show but I think they must see commercials for it while watching Wonder Pets?)

Coffee Punch Recipe:
(Marylou gave me this recipe several years ago after she made it for my wedding shower. Now, I hardly throw a shower without making this.)
3 c. strong coffee
2 c. sugar
1 pint cream (or 1/2 & 1/2) (2 c.)
1 quart milk (4 c.)
2 t. vanilla
Dissolve sugar into hot coffee and let cool. Add other ingredients. 2 c. sugar
1 pint cream (or 1/2 & 1/2) (2 c.)
1 quart milk (4 c.)
2 t. vanilla
Pour into rubbermaid to freeze (at least overnight). Remove from freezer 2 hrs. before serving. Mix and serve very icy in a punch bowl. (One batch serves about 18 small punch cups.)

Hehe! Your kids are too funny.
Hope that you feel better soon! This too shall pass!
Praying you feel better soon! What a rough few weeks for you. Glad Charlie is helping cook. I was on bed rest for 6 months and I had all kinds of people cooking for me. It was rough but I got such a huge blessing out of it!
(As always, laughing......
Your kids are the best!)
a few things:
-sorry you aren't feeling well. If you need puzzles for the littles, i still have some.
-Also I remember snacking every 2 hours. I felt so silly. Fruit my friend, throw it in your bag. I always had like 3 pieces in there the entire pregnancy. Easton was excited i packed him a bag too, my backup bag. I remember eating it during service even, Allen was preaching and i was eating peach.
- I love Mary Lou's punch. I make some and freeze it in mason jars and on hot days take it on errands. I craved it when i was preg. w/ Fionna, i just had to have some.
