So for those of you who don't know Matt has a pretty weak stomach when it comes to watching someone get sick. This has obviously created some interesting situations over the past 6 weeks. Somehow he has managed to not actually get sick himself, he's just had to leave the room, not breath and close his eyes :)
That said, he knows just what to do when I get sick. He immediately gets a wet washcloth for my neck/face and some ginger ale to sip on. Within 60 seconds we can usually be back to normal and move on with our day.
The pregnancy has reminded me of just how great Matt really is. He calls to check on me during the day, calls when he's on his way home to see if I need anything and is incredibly accommodating at home. We've discovered that if I eat and wait 15 or so minutes before I get out of bed in the morning that I am less likely to get sick during the morning. So Matt brings me food every morning and puts in on my nightstand for when I wake up. Usually it's sausage biscuits and orange juice. He makes me food pretty much any time of day at the drop of a hat. Last night all I could think about was a milkshake from Chick-Fil-A (that my stomach later decided it didn't want), so Matt drove to Chick-Fil-A at 9 m to get me one! Oh, and he never complains about any of it.
I know he is going to be such a great dad because he does a wonderful job taking care of me! i go to bed every night reminding myself of just how lucky I am and how blessed we both are with everything and everyone in our lives. God brought us together for a reason and I like to think that this child is part of that. Hopefully it will be the best of both of us!

It appears that the system you have in place is working exceptionally well. However, we can do without the morning sickness. Thinking of you guys.
I love you both.
