I have been feeling absolutely wonderful! I can now get out of bed with out getting sick & continue on my day like a normal person. For a while there even Evan was concerned what we got our selves into ("Is this what it's going to be like the whole pregnancy?") I've been really enjoying myself. Not dealing with morning sickness has allowed me to see the light, I have nothing to complain about. It has also made other symptoms seem stronger than before, like the head aches & the lack of sleep that ends up adding to my extreme fatigue. It doesn't help that I've caught on to some sort of sinus infection. Ear, nose & throat, the pain seems unbearable, BUT- like I said, I feel as if I have nothing to complain about. I can eat and eating makes me happy.
Being able to eat has allowed me to fully enjoy Philadelphia to the fullest. Evan and I have been venturing out to sample some of the best recommended restaurants we've heard of. We have found one that is our official go-to & the restaurant we plan on taking all of our out of town guests to. We have also been able to have fun a birthday party, which was just wonderful, great people. Even attending the football games are better! I've been able to go out with some of the wives I've met here as well. Everything is better when you can eat.
Being able to get out of the house, I've become a homemaker machine. I run around town in search of the perfect this & the perfect that to go on every table top and every wall of our lovely abode (temporary apartment.) When I first met Tammy Reid (Coach Andy Reid's wife) she showed a group of girls a tour of her home & it was beautiful. Of course, she's had 13 years to create such an art piece but she hasn't always lived in the same home. She's lived all over the country following her husband making and packing up home every year for many years in a row. The advise we took from her before we left was to make our house a home, no matter how short we'll be here, because the home of the heart of our family & ultimately it's where we'll be the most. Every girlfriend/wife/fiancee of a player took that and ran with it. "Tammy said....so....Thanks!" That was four weeks ago and only these last few days have I been able to get out and play house. As soon as I finish (or close to it), I'll post some some pictures for you all to see & hope everyone will make the trip to visit.
