936 hours later

approximately 936 hours ago (give or take a few minutes), i contracted a horrible case of morning (aka all-day) sickness.  you've heard my rants.  you've known my status.  it has been hell.  i didn't tally just how many times i lost my cookies. . .but it was at least 3 times a day for the past 39 consecutive days.  and on thursday, i magically felt better. 

i didn't want to count my chickens before they hatched, so i waited.  and on friday, i still felt good.  again, i was fearful that this break in the action was just a mirage.  that after trekking through the desert without water i was hallucinating a big and beautiful oasis filled with palm trees, fountains and strawberry daiquiris.  but today, for the third day in a row, i am stable. 

and finally i feel i can rejoice.  hallelujah.  praise the lord!! 

and lucky for my husband, my celebration includes cooking him dinner.  it's a baked spaghetti kind of night!!
