Small Good Things (8w6d)

1. Oh, the belly.  I mean, if you'd never met me you probably wouldn't be able to see it with my clothes on.  But I found myself at a school event last night, bella banded, as I was unable to zip the last of my zippable work pants, and I was sure that everyone could tell.  There's an unquestionable bump there.  But that's got to mean Peanut's growing right?
2. It's actually springy today.  LG and I walked/scootered to the park and then I dropped her at a friend's on the way back.  Goodness abounds.
3. Potato chips.  Apparently midwives recommend them for nausea.  And apparently they work.  (Yes, I'm really truly nauseated!  Must clean the cat box before I hurl!)
4. I just plowed through Cormac McCarthy's The Road and loved it.  Now I'm on T.C. Boyle's The Women, which is about Frank Lloyd Wright.  Reading fiction just because I want to?  Yahoo!
5. Chicken sausage at the grocery store for LG.  Which is good because she eats it, and I really can't stomach anything resembling a meat product.  Lentil soup, asparagus, and fruit will suit me just fine.
