I've been dying to write here, as Jason and I have some fairly big news. Now that all the co-workers, bosses, and family (except my brother, sorry andrew!) have been informed, the world-wide-web gets to know that we're having a baby!
Expected due date - nov 7.
Now on to all the real excitement. I'm sick. 5000 miles away from home, and I can't go back till friday.
I stupidly decided to go on a business trip to milan to host some training for my work project. The decision was made before the morning sickness and before the exhaustion, and before the emotional highs and lows that took me completely off guard.
Of course - I felt fine 2 weeks ago! No puking - eating every few hours, felt like I could run a marathon! Who'd of thought it could change overnight? Other than the gazillions of pregnancy information I read online.
Anyways, now here I am in bed, unable to work for 7 days, after spending 3 hours in the hospital last night with a nice old lady trying to tell me in italian that my iv bag was empty. Io parlo un po l'italiano lady. UN PO!
I did get an ultrasound, and was able to see the heartbeat! Also, the hotel was so properly freaked out, that they noticed I haven't left the room or ordered any food today, so they sent Alessandro to bring me some saffron risotto. (Alessandro drove me to the hospital yesterday)
With any luck, the pukefest will be over shortly, due to the highly welcomed drugs. (There was a short encore just before the risotto, but I had just downed a bunch of water, so it was to be expected.)
2 more days of sleep and eat, then a 20 hour flight, then home and back to normal.
The really sad thing is that i've been in italy since sunday afternoon (sunday am, US time), and I'm still sleeping normal US hours. Well, if you don't count all the naps. Although it is partly my fault, as I forgot that it is a 9 hour time difference, not a 7 hour time difference.
Off to bathe and sleep, and maybe have some gummy bears.
