An Open Letter to Chup

Dear Chup,

I hope this post finds you well in Wichita.

(Whatever.)


I thought I'd write about my day.

I woke up.

Ate a banana.

Went back to bed.

I woke up.

Had some ice.

Picked up Seth (and his oblong orange balloon) from Kindergarten. Took him home.

Went inside Page's house. Collapsed on the red Love Sac.

Vivy brushed my hair with a massive orange-hair-entangled brush.

Slept for another three hours.

I woke up.

Had some cherry tomatoes.

Went home.

Took a nap.

I woke up.

Threw up the banana, ice and cherry tomatoes.

Went to my parent's.

Had dinner.

Wanted to throw up dinner, but asked myself kindly not to do that.

Called you. Cried.

(You remember.)

Talked to my brother Steve while he changed his clothes, he hath no shame.

Texted Bobby.

My Dad gave me a blessing.

(I can do it!)

Came home.

Put feet up.

The Chief has the hiccups.

(I think it was the Izze. Sorry Chief.)

We miss you.

Both of us.

Love,
Wifey

I hope he doesn't have to be gone much longer! How hard for you! I'm happy your family is close by.

We don't like Kans-ass (as we call it) in our house.

It's a husband thief.

Oooh, there is my sister up there...

My fetus is currently hiccuping too.

Brooke said...

i'm sorry. thursday is a good day, right? for both of us waiting wifeys

Cami said...

Hope Chup comes home soon. You're in the home stretch. You can do it!

AzĂșcar said...

You know what you should do...

Marilyn said...

Oh man, I am so sorry. This puking forever is awful. You are almost through though, almost.

My wish for you is one good day where you will feel wonderful and food will taste good, and your feet will feel fine, and the chief will feel content, and chup will be home to take you to lunch.

Too grand a wish? I don't think so!

Chelle said...

I'm on the fence about whether you want to hear the sympathy that I feel to express for your continued pukes, or if it will just make you want to kick me in the shin.

But truly, I think you are a pregnancy super star, considering what this lil Chief has required of you.

Oh, how you will rejoice (we all will!) when he arrives. So soon!

i just wrote a post relating to love sacs. that made me happy that at least one of us got to lounge about on (in?) one.

darn chup. enough with the traveling! ... that's how i'd feel if it were my husband doing the traveling, at least.

Leisha said...

Sorry you're still barfing non-stop. I'm surprised they haven't had to feed you with a tube. Postive note: Baby will be out before heat of summer starts!

Heidi said...

You don't know me but I found your blog and love how you write.

My husband travels A LOT! I have four kids my youngest being almost 2. I feel your pain of missing your best friend when he's gone. Hope the rest of your pregnancy goes well.

Have a great day!

I loved the LoveSac in my third trimester....you could lay on your stomach and feel sooooo comfortable!

Seeing as you have a "safe to de-lurk" certificate on your site, I decided to leave you a comment.

I have spent the past week or so reading through every entry you have made in your blog. Why? It helps me not think about my nausea (from an almost 9 year prayed for miracle we call "The Bean").

So thank you for making me laugh and cry and forget about how awful I feel.

I hope you won't mind me poking my head in often to keep up with you & yours.

And I know that in a few weeks you will say that you would gladly do it again for another little miracle. Heck, you might even say that now. :)

an open letter to c jane:

Dear c jane,

You can do this. Hang in there. Hang on to something. Hang up on someone. Hang out with friends. I don't know how I else I can reasonably use the word "hang" in a sentence or why I keep trying, but I do know you can do this.

Much love,

Auntie
