Being pregnant and watching a toddler all day is hard. I feel awful for two reasons. One: I'm more sick than I was with Harrison, every day, all the time. Two: I'm a bum because I feel so sick and I have a harder time playing with him. I feel like a terrible parent. The othe day, moving made the difference between vomiting and not vomiting, but Harrison gets so upset when I lay on the couch. He's not to the point where he can play peacefully by himself. Matt was a saint and came home a little early and took over for the rest of the evening. I got to take a bath and head to bed early, both of which I needed. Seriously. Harrison was sniffing me half the day and nodded when I asked if I was stinky...
Zofran is only helping a little and I have been taking it twice a day for the little relief it brings.
Pepper is sick. She keeps having tummy issues and I hope this round of medication goes smooth and clears it up. She is my furry baby and I love her.
It's only the beginning of September and I am already so excited for Halloween! I want to dress as Elsa, but I am already showing and I don't think it's going to be possible. I'll be around 18 weeks by Halloween and I'll have a decent bump by then. I wanted Harrison to be Olaf, but might end up changing our plan so we coordinate :)
Harrison will not be trick or treating yet this year. I've decided that he has to be able to say "Trick or Treat" well enough to do so. So, probably next year.
I hope we get kids this year. We had zero stops last year, I was so sad. I dream of the day when we're in a new neighborhood, not on a busy street and we can make a whole spectacle out of Halloween and all the kids want to come to our house!
August feels like a blur. Not because it went fast, the month took forever, but because so much happened.
* We found out we're having another baby. And this time I was totally convinced I wasn't pregnant yet.
* My grandparents finally sold the cabin. It was hard to say goodbye, but such a long time coming made it a little easier. That cabin weekend was great because almost the whole family came up and it was reminiscent of when I was little. Harrison had a blast, playing in the lake and with my cousins. He looked a little confused when we were all crying in the car when we left.
* We took Harrison to the State Fair for the first time. It was pretty fun, but I probably won't care to go again for another 20 years. Harrison was very well behaved and the deep fried pickles were all I've ever dreamed off.
* I had my birthday. Didn't do much for it, went out to dinner (which barely stayed down until I got home).
* Went to Ren Fest. Technically September, but still Labor Day and so officially still summer (and when I say official, I mean MN official. Our seasons don't go by the calendar). The day was wonderful! It was really nice out and I ate ALL THE FOOD. We plan on going again and maybe taking Harrison on the last day, but it depends on the weather.
I love Fall and Fall weather. This cool front that's moved in feels so nice. I'll be grouchy when it gets too cold, but for now I am happy.
Also, Harrison learned a new word this week- "Uffdah!"
I had carried him in from the car and set him down. I said "Uffdah" because he is getting heavy and he responded with "Uff-Ah!" He's been saying it ever since. He is now a true Minnesotan!
And here he is wearing Matts shoes and wanting to go outside.
Summer's over and I'm okay with that. I love fall and Halloween (which encompasses all of October, not just the 31st). I'm also getting close to the end of the first trimester and hoping the nausea subsides. I had a good day this week, followed by some very bad days.
Now it's Saturday! And we have no official plans aside from Doctor Who! Hoping for another good day!
