Day Number Ninety-nine

I cannot believe that we've been pregnant for nearly one-hundred days.

Yes, I said "we've". For those of you uninformed, pregnancy is a two-person job. I'm not talking actual conception here, I mean pregnancy itself. I have absolutely no idea how some women can do this on their own (any women who have - you have my utmost respect).

At this point in our pregnancy, things are just beginning to settle, in a myriad of ways. Some days, we can believe we're going to be parents. Other days, not so much. But that fact does seem to ring more true now. Especially since... Beth is getting a belly! I have to keep reminding her that she is, in fact, pregnant and not just getting chunky. I also have to constantly remind her that this is, in fact, worth it.

Other than these things settling into our psyches, we've really begun to settle into a routine. Beth's routine is to sleep and rest (vomiting is hopefully gone, thanks to the 6 dollars-per-pill miracle drug our OB/GYN prescribed her. which she plans on using sparingly. thank goodness.).

My routine is, apparently, to lose sleep, clean, and gain the weight Beth is losing. Joy.
