Energy!! I feel good today!

Energy! I woke up with energy and a tummy that didn't feel icky at all (unheard of for weeks). Praise the Lord and I love my baby more than ever today! That doesn't mean I won't wake up tomorrow morning back to ick and super tired, but I'll take today and did for all it's worth. I was productive at work ALL day (ok maybe not 10 minutes in there or so). We had originally planned to go out for dinner with another couple tonight but that fell through so Adam and I were trying to decide if we should stay home and figure something out for dinner or go out to a favorite mexican place called Las Lomas here in Muscatine. Adam emailed me midafternoon and asked if I would make enchiladas like my friend Julie does (he was clearly on a mexican food craving kick...who's the one with the symptoms here?!). I told him if he wanted Mexican than we should go to LL b/c I wasn't cooking anything that complicated. He then suggested leftovers. So then I was on my way home and thought, hmmm...enchiladas...Susie's (step mom) enchiladas...so I promptly called her when I got home, got the recipe, ran to the store, and made the best enchiladas ever! We also had snowpeas with it - YUM. Adam had three enchiladas! I managed one. It was his last 12-hr day this month (after 7 days in a row) so he must have been hungry and tired. I also cleaned the kitchen by putting all the things back under the sink (even though it's not fixed yet), did all the dishes, and was excited to be able to see my counters again. Ah, the small things.

I posted on Facebook that I can see the light at the end of this first trimester tunnel! Goodbye nausea! Goodbye crazy fatigue!! Bring on the quickening and feeling baby kicks!! Bring on finding out the sex of the baby!! I am not convinced in the slightest that today was the onset of feeling completely better (no nausea/fatigue) b/c I thought my nausea was gone a long time ago and it came back within a week. I love you Baby Schmidt! Thanks for giving mom a day off from the ickies!
