What a difference a week makes....

It's absolutely amazing how for 3 months I felt nauseous all the time, had to eat constantly even though nothing sounded appetizing, had zero energy, and was in the bathroom with head over the toilet regularly... and then one day just wake up and have the nausea gone, I can go 2 hours without eating, my energy has returned and no more throwing up! Oh happy day!! It's soooo wonderful when the long awaited 2nd trimester arrives!

Also, some of you have been asking if John still has a job... so I thought I'd mention that as well. Yup...last week Orrick laid off 20% of their attorneys firmwide... 3 of the 12 in John's corporate group in SF... but thankfully we were not on the list this time around. John is now the only first year in corporate at SF and although he still has a job, his workload has increased which is a bummer. But you definitely won't hear any more complaining from me about John working long hours... at least he is working (although I still reserve the right to complain when he works past midnight several days in a row).

And just an FYI: The Time article on CA Mormons has been pushed back until April or May because the reporter now wants to attend General Conference and include that in the article. I'll post once it comes out since some of you expressed interest in it.

Sounds like your pregnancies are a lot like mine were. Always sick the first trimester and same thing, second trimester arrives I wake up and I feel great. Weird how that happens and so grateful it does! LOL. Glad John still has work and it seems like he's doing a great job and they like him.

Woohoo! I wish mine ended when the second trimester came....maybe next time. Oh, and you always have the right to complain when he works late!

Ya for the second trimester!! We're so happy to hear John is still employed! We've been on the other end and it really is a reality check. Keep it up guys! Wish you all lived closer, Mia and Ally would make best buds!

Don't freak out that some random person in Switzerland is reading your blog....it is just me, Amy Hafen, jetsetting yet again for my job. Congrats on the new kid. I was wondering when number 2 was going to make his/her appearance. Cali looks beautiful and I am glad John survived the cuts

Later Gator,
Amy
