Silly Mom Thoughts

No, sicko, not that kind of quickie. Just a quick post from me today.

Just wanted to let you know, after the fiasco-filled Friday, the weekend has gone much better. I haven’t had any real bouts with nausea, which helps my tolerance level significantly. Plus, having Turk home to take on half the parental duties makes all the difference!

I have to share with you something so sweet that Bug said to me today. (Warning, this is a teeny bit gross at first.) When I get pregnant, I don’t usually throw up, but instead, I do that weird burp-up-crap-into-my-mouth thing. (Does that happen to anyone else, or is it just me?) It’s almost as if my stomach decides too late that it is topped off, and responds by sending the last little bit back up through my throat. It’s nas-tay and close enough to barfing to make me feel gross.

Anyway, this puke in the mouth thing happened to me tonight just after dinner and I rushed to the bathroom. Turk followed and asked, “Are you okay? Do you need some water?”

Immediately, I heard Bug’s little feet running toward the bathroom. I stepped out of the doorway and saw him standing there with his water sippy cup in hand, offering it to me.

“You need wa-er, Mommy? You no fee’ good?”

He did this all on his own, Turk didn’t ask him to bring me water, or make any sort of indication that Bug should do so. I hugged my sweet little guy and thanked him so much for being so thoughtful.

He can be so dang frustrating, but it’s moments like these that make such a difference to me. I am grateful that we are raising a selfless, empathetic little boy.

In other news, I decided to start my own website! If you want to check it out, it’s http://lindsaymaddox.com . I will be using it to promote this blog, my other online articles, and my published writing. Plus, I have a “grown-up” blog over there too! I’m movin’ up in this little writer’s world of mine.

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Here’s to a new week!
