My Husband Rocks
Dear Darling Husband,
This week, you definitely put the “darling” in “Darling Husband.”
I have been feeling like hell, and you have been beyond wonderful — and pulling way more than your weight around the house.
- On Monday, you bought me ice cream for dinner — when they was nothing else that appealed to me
- On Tuesday, you made nachos for dinner — and then went out and did the grocery shopping (making sure to include a few special treats to make me feel better, and STRAWS! My new requirement for all drinks)
- On Wednesday, you worked the evening, so I was determined to clean up and make meals for the next day. I was crumpled up on the couch when you got home, and you put me to bed and proceeded to make tacos for the next day AND do a huge pile of dishes
- On Thursday, you made me a smoothie — and gave me money to buy more smoothies
- Today — as you have every day this week — I sat pathetically at the counter (nibbling crackers and moaning) as you assembled our lunches and gave Little Dog her breakfast.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for helping out so much, and for being so wonderful. You are my knight in shining armour!
Love, your wife
xoxo

I think this is becoming an issue

6 WEEKS, 4 DAYS PREGNANT
It’s official: zee baby is a fruit addict, and my life now revolves around smoothies. Cold, delicious, fruity, frosty smoothies — slurped up by a straw.
Seriously. I’m a junkie, always hunting for a fix.
Smoothies consumed today:
- Pineapple-watermelon-orange smoothie (homemade by Darling Husband)
- A Revello bar (yes, technically not a smoothie, but deliciously cold and similar)
- Orange-strawberry-honey-yogurt-passionfruit smoothie (bought at specialty juice bar)
And it’s only mid-afternoon, people!
Lovely Mom is picking my nauseous butt up from work tonight — hooray for no busride — and I’m going to ask her to take me to the grocery store. I need to stock up on frozen fruit and yogurt.
No, make that frozen yogurt! Mmmmm. Oh, I want a smoothie right now.
Could this be my first official craving? Or are they just so good because everything else makes me turn green?
A smoothie saved my life today

Mac-and-cheese(couldn’t stomach it)Baby carrots(couldn’t stomach them)- Another rice Krispie square
- Smoothie from the food court
Anybody noticing a pattern?
Back in May, I introduced myself to smoothies after reading that they can really help when you’re suffering from morning sickness.
Darling Husband whipped up my first smoothie of the day, and the second one — which is replacing the lunch I could not eat — was from a smoothie bar in the mall.
I stared at the menu for a good five minutes, feeling grossed out by the mentions of banana and milk, until I finally broken down and told the girl I wanted something “light and fruity and strawberry-orange-ish … but with no banana.”
She whipped me up something that wasn’t on the menu — does that make me a minor celebrity? — that she said contains strawberries, oranges, yogurt and honey. Mmmmmmm.
God bless the smoothie girl.
But mainly, God bless the smoothie girl. Again.
I’m sure I will be seeing her tomorrow.
Because now it’s getting serious …
