Today is my birthday. I am officially 39 years old for the first time.

We have no plans for a large celebration because of my morning all day sickness. Sounds sad, but I’m totally fine with it.

My parents came over to the house yesterday afternoon, armed with a late lunch (chicken pot, chicken pot, chicken pot pie!) including a birthday pound cake (which I cannot eat yet because sugar increases my nausea), presents, and a winning spirit for the Patriots.

My mother is a servant and gifted me with help in cleaning my house since I’ve not been feeling quite up to that chore and Beau has been taking care of me. Beau and I did manage to clean up the main floor for them, but Mom helped with a few other things like changing the sheets on the guest bed (Beau’s Sis is coming to visit this weekend), starting laundry, cleaning up the kitchen. She’s heading over again today to fold the now clean laundry, change the sheets on my bed, and clean the kitchen (I started gagging when I was trying to clean up after preparing snacks for my day and had to leave it).

They also gifted me/us with a lovely tall dresser (looks like a lingerie dresser) for the baby’s room. They also gave me a lovely teacup and saucer with a cherry blossom motif that is quite pretty.

We watched the George Mason/Connecticut game and enjoyed a nice afternoon together.

Thanks for the great gifts, Mom and Dad. And for the help around the house, Mom. Love you guys!
