First of all, we are considering your wise words and talking about looking for a cheap second car. I’m really really sad that I won’t be able to get a Prius – but even used ones are going for $15k, and the monthly payment on a loan of that size would be prohibitive with just one income. So we’ll have to settle for something non-hybrid (garrrrr)… I know the Toyota Civics get good mileage, is a decent size, and you can get them for pretty cheap too. We’ll see. Now that Den is talking about starting to play baseball again it is really making me want a second vehicle. (Since to play baseball he needs the truck to get there straight from work, and he doesn’t get back until late, leaving me COMPLETELY housebound all day.)

Anyways, we had two parties to go to today. I got a little bit of sun in the pool (on my shoulders, of course), while I floated lazily around and nearly napped on the inner tube. I was so tired around 1pm when we got there, I was just totally zoning out. Den kept asking me if I was alright, or was I just cranky? No, I said, I’m TIRED!

I ate FAR. TOO. MUCH. And it really doesn’t sound like too much when you think about it: a cheeseburger, some chips, some corn chips with dip, and then a cob of corn. Everyone else ate more. But I am pregnant, and the number two rule of pregnancy is THOU SHALT NOT OVEREAT. (The number one rule of pregnancy, if you are curious, is thous shalt eat frequently!!) We left from there to party #2, where I immediately seeked out the bathroom and threw a bunch up. Ugh. Lovely. And I still felt so uncomfortable… it was almost painful, the pressure.

Of course I AM pregnant, but when you have people you barley know coming up to you at only 9 weeks pregnant looking at my tummy and saying, “Oh my gosh, you’re pregnant?!?!” it’s pretty bad. We did get a lot of congrats though, at both parties. Everyone’s very excited for us. Got to hear some more interesting stories of babies and childbirth! lol! I can’t say I really dislike listening. I like stories. (I just don’t like preaching, which no one did today.)

And now, even though I ate far too much and got sick, I am still wanting to eat some cereal that I bought this morning. Grocery shopping is a dangerous game. I want to eat all of it. Now.
