We flew out to the Pocono Mnts. in Pennsylvania to visit Mama & Papa G for a long weekend. We had planned to take a red- eye flight a long time ago, before we even considered trying to start a family and I wasn't sure how my nausea would be on the flight... well, without being too graphic, I will say this... it was the worst flight of my entire life! I threw up 2 times on the plane from Sacramento to Houston, 1 time in the airport, 2 times on the plane from Houston to Newark, and 2 times in the car from the airport to Mama & Papa G's house... they say nausea is a good sign that everything is developing well... so I officially have the healthiest embryo on earth! I do have to say that I have the most wonderful, supportive husband in entire world! He takes such ridiculously good care of me and I know it hasn't been easy for him to watch me go through this (gush gush, swoon)!
We were greeted at the airport by Mama & Papa G, holding 2 long stem roses, one with a pink ribbon and one with blue... they're not excited or anything!
Posing with our flowers... Ross was feeling rather dramatic!

After my harrowing journey from Cali, I was in no condition to do anything more than lay down & try not to die! We had stopped at CVS and gotten motion sickness acupressure wrist bands and Emetrol (an over the counter nausea med that's safe for me to take). I slept for about 6 hours straight. The next day I was feeling better and Mama G & I went off for mani's & pedi's. There was also much more needed napping all around!
Our 2nd full day we all drove into the cute little town of Milford, PA. We walked around & had a nice lunch.

Taking a breather!
More town cuteness...
Speaking of cuteness...
Mama G's nickname for me has always been TP, which stands for "tall & pretty", as well as toilet paper...but we won't go there, now TP stands for "the puker". Although, I only threw up on the car ride to the airport once, and ZERO times on the flights back home! I'm so pround of myself!

What great pics! The roses were really sweet. You have the best husband and in-laws on the planet. This kid will have the cutest grandparents east and west of the Mississippi.
I randomly came upon your blog...so, hello!
...that looks like a cute town...
...sorry about the morning/motion sickness. Have you heard of the "preggie pops"? They're suckers that are supposed to help with morning sickness. I never tried them personally, but I've heard of them.
hang in there!
...the morning sickness generally goes away...
WHat a fantastic place to get away to! And, what fantastic people to get away to, too! Glad after all the puking you had a lovely time. ;o)
