Sorry for the long delay, but I wanted to post with good news. And that is that I'm starting to feel so much better! I woke up at 6:30 wide awake and full of energy. I didn't feel bad at all this morning. As a matter of fact I'm feeling better than I have in months!

Now, I'm starting to think I'm going to jinx it. That wouldn't be fun...but I'm trying to stay positive and not succumb to the evils of morning sickness. We'll see.

Anyway, Marc and I (and the boys!) went to the coast last weekend to celebrate Marc's 34th birthday. We had a great time but man oh man did we walk A LOT! Hee hee! We took tons of walks through town and on the beach. The dogs had a great time...I mean what dog wouldn't want 2-3 hours worth of walks a day?? We also went up to Astoria for the afternoon. It's a cute little town, trying to rebuild a bit. We had lunch on the riverwalk and managed to get there right when the rain stopped. All in all a great weekend away!

We are eagerly awaiting our next appointment on Thursday Nov. 1. It won't be too exciting, just getting weighed (yuck!) and hearing the heart beat. I just want to hear the little one so I know the peanut is ok. I'll post right when we get home!

So I haven't written in a while so I thought I'd send a little update. Although there isn't really much to report. I thought that my morning sickness had subsided last week, but boy was I wrong. This week it came back with a VENGEANCE! I was miserable yesterday! To top it off I had a horrible headache all day that wouldn't go away.

But today is a new day! There is nothing like having a good day right after an awful day! I'm feeling great! It's cold and cloudy here but it's not putting a damper on me today. Although it's days like this that kill me. I store up all my energy and then run around all afternoon doing things I didn't do all week and then the next day I'm exhausted. Oh well. I keep thinking one of these days I'll have that pregnancy moment where you wake up and you have energy and you feel wonderful. You get that glow (as opposed to the green tinge of morning sickness). I can't wait for it.

Marc and I are going to do some scouting this weekend. I think we're going to start checking out some furniture. We've decided that we're going to use the red guest room for the baby. We'll sell the furniture after my sisters come next week. So we're making a date out of it and browsing through the gazillion things that we need for this baby. I'm hoping it doesn't scare me to death! Babies R Us is the most overwhelming place on the planet!!

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy your weekend. I would brag about my fantasy football team but it's HORRIBLE! I mean absolutely AWFUL! At least I'm better than Marc...but not by much. We'll see how bad my running backs are this week!!

I promise next update for a picture of my belly. Right now it's not really a belly but something is forming down there. I'm shopping for maternity jeans this afternoon. I'm actually kind of looking forward to that elastic waistband for those big dinners. I think they will come in handy on Thanksgiving.
