Wow it has been a long long time.  So obviously much has happened since my last post in July. The cousins came to visit, the russians came to visit and I got pregnant! Pretty busy.

So, I have been feeling really nauseous pretty much from the beginning. But atleast no vommiting. Food cravings and food aversions have been very strong. Went through a grilled cheese and pickle week, a chinese food week, a potatoe chip week, a tuna fish month, a salad week and now a salad and sandwich week.

 Kristof has been talking more and more especially since the cousins visit. He was not a big fan of disneyland but that may be because mommy and papa were not that into it. too hot, too many people, lines too long.

Pregnancy is going well though I don't recall the nausea lasting so long the last time. The first trimester is over but the yuck blah is not. The ONLY thing that works to stop the horrible evening fade into misery is McDonalds. Its terrible. But every evening around 5:30 I start feeling a little ill, by 6pm its almost unbearable and I wish I COULD just vomit and feel better. Until 8pm I must lie down and moan. Otherwise, if I eat one little McDonalds cheeseburger or nugget POP I feel not only "not ill" but also I ell GREAT. So, I have been eating mcdonalds about 3 times a week. I have even been known to have it at 10:30am when the illness occassionally hits hard in the daytime. Its often I find linked to the drive into or from work. So it may be car sickness induced. I hate the one hour car drive.  

Anyway, the bottom line is the baby is doing just fine and I am as expected, just waiting to find out the sex of the baby. Obsessed by it when I am not worrying about the flu.

Kristof is doing well. We have a new nanny and there has been a drastic change in Kristof's behavior. She is so much more active than the other one and he is with 2 other little toddlers all day so he is much more animated and happy about going to the nanny each day. And he eats his vegetables for this nanny too.

Rémi is doing well but has been working way too hard. I have barely seen him during the whole first trimester since I tend to go to bed myself after putting Kristof down at 8. I feel bad for him but I also feel worse for Kristof and myself!
Hopefully this won't last the whole pregnancy! ITs funny we work in the same office and I work fulltime now so we technically "see eachother" all day long but he is in so many meetings all day and we are so just business at work that I feel like its not my husband I see.
