It's good to throw up, it's good to throwup, it means baby's growing, it's good to throw up.....

I spent all day yesterday feeling just ick. Yes, "ick" is the very best way to describe it. Not miserable, not good, just ick. It didn't help that I was forcing myself not to nap, since I've been pretty much comatose for the past few days thanks to lots of travel and not lots of normal sleep. But nevertheless, I was able to stay up until *gasp* 10:30 last night when I happily fell right asleep. I woke up this morning feeling like a new woman.

I finally took my mom's advice and bought some saltine crackers to keep in my nightstand and have before I get up in the morning (the sodium and the food-in-the-stomache both help combat nausea). So when I woke up at 9, I ate a few crackers, then slowly got out of bed, fully expecting to feel like I had lost a battle with a mack truck all day. I was happy to find that after a bowl of cereal, some prenatal vitamins, and a nice hot shower, I was feeling like a million bucks.

I cleaned the house, made lunch for Bran, and was sitting on the front porch thinking about how I spent all day yesterday thinking I was going to puke when all of a sudden out of NOWHERE I thought to myself, "oh my gosh here it comes" I literally jumped off the porch, through the front door, straight into the bathroom and over the toilet. A few minutes later I was brushing my teeth for the second time this morning, and thinking that I was glad I puked before I ate my yummy Macaroni Grill lunch, and not after. That would have been such a waste of a good meal.

I'm Expecting!

Bran and I found out that I'm pregnant!!! We're so excited :)

Right now I'm about 7 weeks and 3 or 4 days along. We got to hear it's little heartbeat while we were in Maryland, which was so amazing. It is so good to know that it is healthy! I have my first official doctor's appointment on Tuesday, so I'll update then with more info!

I've been noticed!

Someone from CSNrugs.com noticed my blog and want me to do a review of one of their rugs! I'm super excited, especially since I've been looking for a rug to put in my entryway. Now I just have to pick out which one I want, and let them know - how awesome is that!

So I need some suggestions... I have light wood floor and red walls in the entryway, and I'm not sure which rug I should pick. It has to be $55 or less, and the size should be about 2' by 4'. Check out their site and tell me if you have any suggestions!

heh.

Ok, so this is me half an hour after I decided to go outside:


Back on the couch, completely winded and ready for a nap.

In my defense, I spent my half hour outside riding Rachel's bike all over the neighborhood, and this time didn't have to stop at all - take that you stupid hills! Needless to say, I'm a bit out of shape and the bike ride kicked my butt. You have to tackle things like fitness one day at a time, right?

Go outside.

The nice weather and my recent laziness due to exhaustion have me dying to be outside. So, rather than write a long, drawn out blog post about my recent adventures, I'm going outside.
