So I was so proud of myself, 8 and a half weeks and no morning sickness yet, other then the all day nausea, but I can deal with that. So I was responding to an email from my mom telling her how everything was going well…

Silly me, it seems baby was not all that happy with the lunch choice of pita and hummus and decided to show their displeasure by removing the contents of my stomach, boy that was fun. Not! So I have now had my first offical morning sickness with actual throwing up, I hope I can avoid it from now on, but somehow, I am thinking it is only going to get worse…

So I started this blog August 21st 2005. So it has been just over one year. I haven’t been the most consistant blogger, there were a couple of months I didn’t post anything at all. Either way, happy 1 year of blogging to me. Hopefully I’ll do better this year and post a bit more.

Okay so I’ve known this for a few weeks now. Like 4, and I’ve shared the news with a lot of people, though not everyone. But I figured I would make it truely official and post it in my blog. Dan and I are expecting our first in April. Around April 8th if my dates are right. This is Easter, which is amusing when you realize I was born on Easter, though not April 8th. So my first doctor’s appointment is tomorrow, with the midwife and hopefully we’ll have a bit more information then, but at the moment I am 8 weeks pregnant and enjoying the wonderful feel of nausea all day long (it is such joy).

and did you know it is really hard to get a good picture of a positive pregnancy test, this was the best I got out of like 10 different pictures.

Well we are home safe and sound. Disney was a lot of fun. I liked Pop Century where we stayed the first night, though it wasn’t that great probably would give it 3 stars. I enjoyed Animal Kingdom Lodge where we stayed the other 10 nights would give it 4 stars. Actually to be fair the La Quinta we stayed at on the way home would also get 4 stars and it was cheaper then both Disney hotels, though a bit smaller then the AKL room, so if Disney had La Quinta on-site I would be happiest there out of the three hotels we stayed at.

The food was good most places we ate though there were some detractors (Flying Fish) and some amazing places (Narcoosees). The rides were fun and the redone PotC was nice, though we did decide we do like Disneyland’s verision better, now that we have been closer in time and all.

Overall it was a lot of fun, though it was a lot of driving there and home, it is nice to be home with the puppy now, so we’ve spent most of today relaxing and grocery shopping so we have food in the house.

So at this time 5 years ago, I was in the middle of getting ready for my second wedding cerimony, the Jewish Cerimony, on the 3rd was the Hindu wedding where Dan and I got to play with fire.

Today was the offical wedding though, since it is the one the state recognized. We were married in Richmond Virginia. Nope neither of us lived in Richmond, and neither of our parents lived there either. However, 80% of my mom’s family lives in Richmond and since all of my Dad’s side of the family had to travel for the wedding anyways, we decided it was easiest to have it in Richmond. So at this time 5 years ago, I was getting ready for the wedding in the hot outside August sun. Where all the groomsmen were in gorgeous hot wool tuxes (sorry guys didn’t realize they were wool or that it would be 90+ degrees).

Anyways it has been 5 years married now, and we’re still together and happy. So Happy Aniversery to us! We’re going to the Melting Pot tonight to celebrate, and we’re going to Disney on the 14th as our 5th Aniversery trip since that is where we went on our honeymoon.

So Dan spent the weekend painting the nursery (what will eventually be the nursery at least) well not the whole weekend. Friday we took Jabby out shopping for her birthday since we had no clue what a 14 year old would want for her birthday, she got a bunch of small stuff she seemed to like. Saturday was game day at Greebo’s and Caylor’s and Jabby’s birthday, so we went over for that played a couple of games, tried our new killer rabbit game it was fun. I also knitted a hat with this round knitting thing, it was kind of cool, but I think I will skip getting one because I know I won’t use it enough to justify it.

So Sunday we started the painting. Went out and picked up the 4 base colors, a light blue for the ceiling, a sky blue for the top 2/3rd of the wall, an orange for the bottom 1/3rd and green for the trim. Atty did the ceiling and one coat of the orange on Sunday. Monday he painted a bunch more, did a second ceiling coat, a second orange coat and the first blue coat. He then did a second blue coat and third orange coat later in the evening. It looks really good. There are a couple of spots that need to be patched up, but overall the colors work really well together. This weekend we’re going to try the stenciling and hope it works. If not we’ll go the easy way and use the border, but the stencil will look way cooler so hopefully it works. Then the room will be done! Yay, then we’ll be able to clear out the dogs room to start working on it. Poor Dan lots of painting for him.
