Day 1, A.V. (After Vomiting)

Rachel: "Well, if anyone's keeping track, I no longer eat tuna."

I know, I know, I have a pregnancy blog to talk about vomiting and sonograms and gas, but this level of sick pretty much put everything else on hold for the past few days. I mean everything, including things like walking upright and digesting food.

But, two prescriptions, one flower arrangement from the parents, one nap, and one good night's sleep later, things are MUCH better. I'm still a bit weak, but I kept down both my breakfast and my prenatal vitamin PLUS I even was able to wash my hair and empty the dishwasher.

Trust me, big improvement.

And I'm thrilled to announce I made THE REP! Yay! D.C. emailed me on Monday and formally asked me if I wanted to be part of the Company this year and asked about my pregnancy and which shows it would most likely keep me from doing. I'm a little bummed about Spelling Bee, but there's another theatre doing that in early Spring so I'll try for that one. Other than that, some great possibilities including a Broadway showcase, Jekyll & Hyde, Oliver and others.

I also think I'm going out for a couple shows out in Grapevine again, including Wild Party, Spelling Bee, and Parade. Not sure yet and need to work out what I'd sing, but we'll see. I tried out 'As Long As He Needs Me' for the first time at REP auditions and it went well, but I need to beef up my contemporary repertoire more than anything.

Meanwhile, still looking for contract work while nesting and starting to prepare for Baby. This weekend? Hoping to catch some friends in Laughter On the 23rd Floor at Watertower.

Till then, ta-ta!
