So Destri is feeling better today. That is great. I heard that the second trimester is supposed to be better then the first. That is good, because I miss my wife. The woman I married was happy all the time, rarely got sick, enjoyed most foods, and didn’t mind what I said, what I ate, or what I smelled like. I understand if I stunk or something – but it is more of the type of colgne, deodorant, body wash, after shave, or the wrong combination of them. Also, lately Destri will have cravings. The past few days it has been fruit – watermelon in particular. Anyway, I am glad to get food for my wife, but I had to set some ground rules. Now she is only allowed to make me go to Hy-Vee twice a day. After that – I will not go. Before she would wait until I changed for bed and started watching a TV show and then she would say “hmmmmm…. Popsicles sound good right now,” and of course we don’t have any. Well she is allowed two of them throughout the day – so the second time she better know what she wants. I guess living within a mile of Hy-Vee has its advantages and disadvantages. It is almost too easy to go and get a couple groceries. We never go and buy a cartful. It is always 4 or 5 items but we do it everyday. Anyway, now that Destri is eating for two – I have doubled my trip allowance. But really I am glad to go get food that Destri can actually eat.
