Things are looking up.

Events of the past week have been rather positive. My wife's nausea has mostly subsided. She no longer needs meds to keep from vomiting; however, she does have to keep away from dairy products. Or at least, she needs to take Lactaid when indulging in dairy. It seems her lactose intolerance has been has become more acute during her pregnancy. At least now she can control it. My wife had her latest exam on Friday as well. This was a quick trip, and everything looks OK. The baby's heart is nice and strong, beating at a robust 147 beats per minute. We have our next ultrasound due right about Christmas time. It should be a day or two before the long weekend. Now we get ready for Christmas. The shopping is all done. The painter starts next week. My back is mostly better, so I will probably resume working on the bathroom next week as well. That's all for this time. We'll have more pictures after the next ultrasound.
