That's my belly today at 8 weeks. I'm not really showing yet...baby is only about the size of a kidney bean right now...that's just the pooch I already have to start out with. :) We have our first Dr. appointment on Monday, so less than a week to go, yay! I'm struggling quite a bit with morning sickness...only not only in the mornings, all day pretty much, it just seems to be worse in the mornings...most of the time...last night was yucky as well.

I really just haven't felt like scrapbooking while feeling all icky....so instead of trying to keep up with the scrapbook, I'm just trying to keep up with taking pictures and writing in a journal, and that way I can catch up on the scrapbook when I'm feeling better.

That's all for now. :)

Since I have the energy to to approximately nothing blogworthy as of late....why not a little random information?

Rachel tagged me....and here are the rules....

1. Link to your tagger and list these rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by including links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blogs.

Now...7 things you probably do not care to know about me...

1. The first time I spent the night at Rachel's house, she told me that her cat could turn the lights off in her bedroom, I believed her.

2. Rachel and I used to do pretty much NOTHING all the time...I would go to Topeka to visit her almost every other weekend and we would sit around or lay around indecisively MOST of the time.

3. Once we went to Hobby Lobby and bought a treasure box and spent the weekend going to garage sales and other places looking for piratey things to fill it with.

4. We were going to watch Spice World once...but couldn't bring ourselves to do it. (Mostly because Rachel was scared that someone someday might ask her if she had ever seen it.)

5. When I would spend the night with Rachel we would put in a movie to fall asleep to...Rachel's collection consisted of motly Mel Gibson movies, and when I chose "What Women Want" we argued FOREVER about if I had seen it or not, Rachel was sure that I had...but I still think I hadn't.

6. Rachel and I went to see "Win a Date With Tad Hamilton" pretty much cause we had nothing better to do...still to this day, it is one of my very favorite movies, Rachel makes fun of it.

7. Another thing we would do to pass time....Rachel would "fix my hair" and it always looked so "wonderful" she insisted I wear it that way....for...an indefinite length of time...and I would do it.


:) He he he he, good times.

Now...I will tag.....

Jenny
Joanne
Jillian
Charin

...and that's not 7...but it's everyone I can think of right now that hasn't been tagged already.

:) Magen and Micah drove up to visit for the weekend...and I have to tell you, I don't even remember the last time I laughed so much! We went to a couple of places downtown, ate at Kopps, (everyone else) played some nintendo, went to the Mars Cheese Castle, made some Cheddar Ale Soup (non-alcoholic for the pregnant lady, of course!), watched movies, played games. It was fun. Jason and I are usually lame-o homeboddies, so it was a very excitement-filled weekend for us. It's nice to have wonderful friends who drive all the way to Wisconsin just to visit for a couple of days. We always try to stop by their house on our way to Salina, but it never seems like enough time, so I was very thankful for their visit. :) Thanks, Guys!

Sorry about the whole...me being a terrible blogger thing. As it turns out, pregnancy is kicking my butt...and all I have energy for is sitting around reading about the crazy things happening in my body. I don't even have this baby yet and I'm already a week behind on the scrapbook...here is last Wednesday's page....

I had yesterday off...and I accomplished nothing. I sat in front of the computer and read a book all day....but at least Anne-Marie and Elise are making pretty things!

Here is another card she made, using the "Inksy Daisies" stamp on her background cardstock.

Last weekend I was suffering from a compromised immune system....I wasn't ALL THE WAY sick...but coughing a little and congested. Since all my real jobs consist of taking care of people, it's really inconvenient for me to get sick....so I took it easy all weekend, taking plenty of breaks to just lay on the couch and watch HGTV. ...and since I wasn't feeling well, my dear sweet hubby does pretty much whatever I want. :)

Saturday night I was feeling pretty blah, so even though Jason doesn't really like watching movies/tv shows more than once, he was willing to watch the entire first disk of season one of Smallville with me. We got out the air mattress, and gathered every pillow in the apartment and set up our Air Bed Fort. ...and since I also scrapbooked over the weekend, our bed is covered in papers and stickers and embellishments...so we've been camping out ever since! But...I have today off work and my plans include cleaning up all my scrapbooking stuff and making the bed, so, I'm afraid, the campout is over.
