torture

the smell of roast in my crockpot stinks so bad i want to vomit and leave the house. thankfully its a cool day (55 degrees) so i can have the windows open. its not good enough though.
oh the joys of pregnancy. i am happy, i am. :D

update: so far so good

So the baby is 6 weeks old tomorrow (I am 8 weeks pregnant). Its still unreal that we have made it this far together. I am so thankful. And, progressively more sick. No puking still, thankfully, but definite nausea today for the first time. So this is a good sign they say.

I have been busy making little baby quilts to give or to keep, I dont know. I just pieced one top and am now working on a second. I've been listening to a delightful novel while sewing. :D This makes me miss my sisters a lot. I think I have an extra dose of emotionalism these days to make it worse. The book is called North and South, by Elizabeth Gaskell. Jody advised me of it and I downloaded it from www.librivox.org , for free as are all the recorded books found there, they are all in the public domain. yay!

Shawn's laboring away faithfully. God has blessed our endevour to pay down the debt thus far and we are thankful.

Well, I feel I must eat again. Good night!

HEARTBEAT!

116 beats per minute.



Here you can see the sack and on the bottom right edge the yolk sack with the baby.

I'm feeling sick these days. Cheese is my friend.

Shawn is working. I am cleaning up the house. It shouldn't take long, small areas don't.

I can't believe this is real. Ok, I can, but, woah.

New Years Resolutions

I looked at the top ten new years resolutions and found that I could call some of them my own for 2009.



1) Get out of debt, we'll make it this year.
2) Learn something new, Spanish, I'm already on chapter 4!
3) Help others, maybe by doing volunteer work or making quilts for people? i quit my job. yay, freedom.
4) Quit drinking, I just found out that I'm pregnant! Pray for the baby that it would live and be healthy!
