It's time, time to sell the little Eos. With the lil' assassin growing at an alarming rate and the idea of wrestling with car seats going in and out of the back seat of this tiny convertible it only makes sense to sell it. It's a little bittersweet. Fortunately, I LOVE my truck and from the first day I bought it I told myself that one day i'd be hauling around my kids in it. It's actually coming true!

I loved the Eos. It was good times. It's difficult to drive it now with the top down because I get hot and then the nausea worsens and the horrific cycle begins. I'm ok with this. It's NOT a family car. Jake is old enough to know how to get in and out, but if I had to help him every single time it'd drive me crazy.

I will miss her.

Poor Christian has been working her ass off. Her (former) number one employee up and quit last week. It has created the greatest amount of turmoil I have ever been a part of. The greatest part of all of this is that I have never felt more confident with my relationship as I do now. We aren't married, but this is the better or worse they talk about I think. Although, this is not better or worse between us, just life's better or worse. We are both so incredibly stressed and yet at the end of the day we are together and ok.

I suppose it's safe to say now because the majority of the family knows. Today marks our 10th week of my pregnancy. We are so very excited and would be more excited if all of this nonsense wasn't happening throughout it all. I have had a headache for about two weeks. And the "morning" sickness has been in full force. Fortunately, there are meds for the nausea. Unfortunately, there aren't meds I can take for the sinus issues. So, here I am, barreling through. I'd do it all over again too just knowing the final result.

Last week we graduated from our cozy and comfy home of the Texas Fertility Center. Our Dr. was the absolute best doctor that I could've asked for. She was so sweet and thoughtful and caring. We loved her. It's sad that we are finished there. Tomorrow we meet with our new OB. We found out that the new OB and our old Dr. at TFC are incredibly great friends. This made things better.

I love my family. I love the new adventure that we're starting. I love knowing that our foundation is solid and even as crazy as life has gotten or will get in the future it's going to stay strong.

We are waiting for Jake to be taken back for his broncoscopy. He went to change and came back with too short pants, souvenir socks and his gown on backwards. He’s a funny kid.

We thought Jake had it easy and we didn’t tell him to do much until he started listing. “Go to bed, wake up, brush my teeth, take a bath, get dressed, go to school, do my homework & on and on.” I’d be frustrated too!
