Elisa and I have some news. It’s a special, life-changing event. It’s not the kind of thing that you announce on a blog. It really deserves a face-to-face mention. So call us. Soon. Before you hear it from someone who already talked to us. 🙂
Elisa has been pretty sick for two straight weeks. She eats rice and toast and milk, on days when those don’t taste too strong for her. 😐 Blah–that’s all I have to say. She keeps trying to get out of doors and enjoy herself, but it is hard because of the stomach monsters rough-housing around inside her. I have to step up and eat all the chocolate.
Last week all the Google employees moved into the new building. I had already been working in the new building, on the 5th floor, which wasn’t really finished. I moved down to the 3rd floor with my team. I guess construction will now continue back on the 5th so that we have room for new employees.
The new building is a cool place. I was so bummed not to feel up for testing out the fire poles and slide which run floor to floor. It was really quite impressive. And in the new lunch room they even individually branded all their apples. That made them taste better I think. It’s a playpen for adults–that’s the best way to describe it. I also like the fact that we are no longer right underneath all the construction noise. If you look at the pictures in the article below, I work about 20 feet away from the hammock room, and about 40 feet from the igloos. (Really).

Okay, not fair! I can’t afford to call you guys! I’m guessing at what it is, though, by Elisa’s illness. Elisa, I feel your pain. For the full nine months, with each child. I hope yours only lasts the first trimester. Congrats, you guys!! Also, that Google building is the coolest thing ever. I’m sending a link to my hubby, who is an architect. He’ll love it.
SO HAPPY FOR YOU! We’ve been really busy lately, but I hope to talk with you sometime soon in the future. Such wonderful excitement for you! I was really sick at first too. It is definitely all worth it! Take care!
Where’s my purple ribbon! WHOOOOHOOOO!!!!! I knew you had the glow in those last pictures!
As for being sick– it sucks. Uh, Ginger is supposed to help nausea… but for me, nothing really did. Don’t worry, you’ll gain all the weight back and more! 🙂 Hang in there!
OH MY GOSH!! Congrats! How far along are you? I need to call you! What’s your number! Email me or call me at 078-614-1140 ASAP! We’ll have to talk baby. Oh, and if you need someone to listen to you whine about being sick, call me. I was sick for awhile and nothing seemed to help. I wont tell you how long though…it will just make you feel overwhelmed! Congrats and can’t wait to talk to you. Jess
CONGRATS! We are so excited for both of you. You will make great parents. Hope you feel better soon. Peppermint and Zofran usually helped my nausea — hopefully it won’t last too long!

It took me a little while to figure out what all those stars were after the capital P. Thanks for the phone call. We love you both. Grandma and Grandpa Parry
