Pregnancy and John

I am now 8 1/2 weeks pregnant!  I almost didn't put that apostrophe there.  I enjoy the thought of having another kid but these first few months are rough.  I see the milestones (10-wk appt, start of 2nd trimester, 2nd appt, etc) ahead and I am thinking of better days.  To be honest, I think I am over the very worst of it (knock on wood).  Weeks 5, 6, and 7 were just plain shock as I remembered how debilitating morning sickness is, but since then I have adjusted my schedule to what I know is feasible for me to get done in a day without being too exhausted or sick by the end of the day.  Levi and John have adjusted to the pregnant me as well, and we are well on our way to accepting a new little one into our lives.  It is good for me to let John help with chores around the house.  I get to learn to relax and let him do things the way he wants them done, which is not always easy for me or most women, I think.  He volunteered to clean the bathroom yesterday (I mean who can pass that up?) but rearranged the items that go on the counter top in a different manner than I would have rearranged them.  I contemplated putting them back how I always have them but he did a really good job of rearranging them in a way I would have never thought of, so I left them.  I am just really thankful he cares enough to volunteer to clean the bathroom; I have a wonderful husband.
