Saturday: telling more people

Today we told most of the rest of the family (sorry Nathan). In the morning we surprised Dad and Pat at their house, saying that we stopped by because Ben had to get some recordings in the car. But they were obviously very happy once we told them. I didn't really have a cool way to tell them.

Then we told Ben's siblings while waiting for the pizza to arrive...Ben brought up how it was nice to see the room where Autumn had been born since we'll be there in January. It was fun to watch the faces as they comprehended what Ben just said.

Sunday: Dominion

Good evening! Today we went to a church called Calvary that we liked...we'll probably go back again at least once. I think it'd be interesting if we ended up at another church called Calvary.

In the afternoon we played Dominion with Travis and Allison. It was interesting playing it with four people instead of two. Some of the cards work better (or worse).

Saturday: yard work

Today we helped with some yard work at Jamie's. I won't call it fun, but it wasn't bad either. It was nice to do it with family. We were going to grill, but it was raining so we had pizza instead. It actually was a light rain for most of the time we were there, but not enough to stop us.

Friday: a first time for everything II

Today was also the first day we told anyone we were pregnant. We went to a movie (Fast Five) with Larry and Cheryl and then out to dinner. In the movie one of the women is pregnant and so Ben goes...

"Well, they did get some things in that movie correct. Like how morning sickness isn't just in the morning, as we've been finding out recently."

They were pretty excited. :)

Friday: a first time for everything

Today I mowed a lawn for the first time. Ever. It might not have turned out great, but at least most of the weeds (and grass) are shorter.

Thursday: semi-successful

Well, today was only a semi-successful. I managed to get groceries and go to the bank, but that was about it.

Maybe tomorrow will be better.

Thursday: ugh

So yesterday I wasn't feeling too bad. The afternoon wasn't great, but besides that I was feeling pretty good. Not so today...

I woke up and soon started to dry heave and fart at the same time. It was almost funny. I finally got some food in me and went to the grocery store. I was exhausted half way through getting groceries. Oh my goodness. Luckily I found a bench so I sat on it for a while. The store also didn't have dried apricots, which I thought was odd. I was feeling rather useless, but the argument didn't hold much weight (even with me) since I had managed to get groceries and go to the bank.

The rest of the afternoon didn't go very well either. Lunch came all back up. I started crying near the end of the day only to realize that I was hungry. I got crackers and peanut butter (which hasn't given me problems yet) and that helped a lot. A hungry Amanda is a sad Amanda.
