First Tea Party

Tonight, Reagan had her first "tea party" in our playroom. She saw Elmo across the room and ran over to grab him. Then she gave him careful instructions on how to sit down and drink his tea. She then pulled up a chair next to him at the table and had a tea party. We got a pic on Jim's phone. I'll ost it soon.

13 weeks

Today I had my 13 week check up. I've lost two pounds - what the heck!!! The baby is just fine. I saw the heartbeat on the monitor - that was super cool. The doc gave me some advice on how to combat my morning sickness (or all day sickness) and told me to stay hydrated. Ugh! I go back in four more weeks and hopefully we can see if it's a boy or girl.

Horrific day

I have absolutely no idea what I ate yesterday, but I was sick from about 4pm on. I drug myself off the couch to get Reagan and drive to the store to meet Jim. I struggled to walk through the grocery store and it was all I could do to get home.

I didn't even eat. I tried a bite, but my stomach said "heck no dude". I puked multiple times in my mouth and didn't move much until Jim was ready to get Reagan in bed.

I crawled upstairs to "read books" (I laid down on the floor) and put her in bed. I did help, I laid next to her crib on the floor and held her hand. She likes that. After about a half an hour, I crawled back downstairs to the couch and fell asleep for the night. Ugh

Ahhhh, peace and quiet

Well, for the moment. We got done eating dinner and Jim went to the basement to do a quick workout. I figured that was a fair trade from yesterday when I couldn't get off the couch. So I told Reagan we were going to the basement to play. And she is - by herself. Wow.

She went into her playroom and closed the door. I am sitting out here on the computer listening to her read Dora books to herself. So I am totally enjoying the alone time. :)

Birthday day

Well yesterday was my birthday. To make sure I had a day of peace and quiet, I scheduled a full body massage, facial and pedicure. I also asked Jim to meet me for brunch. I had to make sure some part of the day was about me on my birthday. As crappy as that sounds, that was the only way to guarantee I got peace and quiet on my birthday.

It worked. :)

By the time I got done with my facial, I was really relaxed. After that I had my pedicure. I about fell asleep in the chair while the lady was rubbing my calves. Ahhhh.

After that, it was the standard birthday stuff. Dinner and decorations. I did get a cool present - Jim got me an iPod touch. Now I just have to figure it out.

All in all, 40 went quietly.

Fishy face

TOnight, Reagan was trying to make the "fishy face" with her lips. So I knelt down beside her and did it myself. She pushed me away and said "mommy, get away from my fishy face". How silly.

Root Canal

Ug - today I had a root canal. It really made me nervous, but I trust my dentist. I said a prayer before they started working and before they took an xray. I have to trust that Baby C will be fine. ;)

At least I'll be out of pain.
