Date Night

Last night Daniel and I sent the kids over to Grandma's house so we could spend a romantic evening with just the two of us. And the doctor...and the nurse...and the guy from Registration...and the old lady across the hall. That's right, folks, we spent the evening in the Emergency Room. I spent all day yesterday throwing up, completely unable to keep even water down. Loads of fun. Daniel called the doctor's office for me and they suggested some kind of over the counter sleep medication oddly enough. Taking half a dose was supposed to help. So I took some and lasted approximately 20 minutes before throwing it up. So, off to the hospital we went! I got hooked up to an IV, threw up, and then got some medication. Things went better after that =) By the time I left I was actually hungry! Just one more thing to add to the list of reasons to guilt trip this baby when it grows up!

Girly Hair

I was telling my sister tonight about this blog, The Story of a Princess and Her Hair. She asked me to send her the link and as I was going to do so, I remembered how many of my wonderful readers have little girls too. So I'm sharing with all of you =) This is a blog that posts the most adorable hairstyles for little girls, complete with photos and instructions, even a few videos! I'm hoping to convince K-Lou to let me try out some of these styles on her. She never lets me do fun stuff, she always wants it down! Maybe if she actually sees some of the pictures she'll change her mind.

No Pictures!

A while back I realized that MZ doesn't know how to dress himself, mainly because I'm too impatient to let him! So he's been practicing:



As you can see he's doing quite well ;) He didn't like it when I pulled out the camera. "No, Mom! No pictures!"



As you can see, I didn't listen. Sadly I didn't get the camera out in time to get pictures of him trying to take off his shirt. He got both arms out of the sleeves and up through the neck hole. He looked like he was wearing a belly shirt!

My New Best Friend

Don't worry, it's not really beer. It's a really strong ginger ale and it is my new best friend. First thing in the morning I have a glass of my ginger ale and a piece of toast. It helps me not throw up as soon as I get out of bed! Plus it's really tasty. I'll probably keep drinking it even when I'm no longer sick all the time. It gives me a good excuse to use my wine glasses.
At 7.5 weeks I'm a little over halfway through the first trimester, so the end of morning sickness is in sight! Of course that's assuming it ends when it's supposed to. But this is also the "fat stage". You know what I'm talking about. The stage where your pants are starting to get too tight, but you don't quite look pregnant...just fat. It's so fun. I'm not quite ready to wear maternity pants yet (yuck!), but I did go buy some maternity shirts yesterday. Mainly just because they were on clearance. I got 2 tops at Target for about $5 each and 2 tops at Ross for only $1 each! It was pretty amusing to go through the line with that. The person in front of us spent over $80 on just a few things, then we get up there and out total is $2.12. Well, I found it amusing at least.
