Eleven weeks and 3 days and the weekend....


way too close up for my liking :)

*on to the good news though- w/ getting fatter, comes WEEK TWELVE!! Yes, that's right, I'm 12 wks and 1 day now! That dreaded first tri-mester is almost over :) I'm so excited! I am feeling much better nausea wise and I'm ready for this exhaustion to give me a break for a few weeks!

Friday night we went out to eat in town for my grandpa's birthday! Two of his brothers (uncle Dan and uncle Herman, who lives in Bloomington) were able to be at the celebration! It was a good time. We went home and I was so tired, I pretty much went to bed right away.

Saturday morning I got up and B & I went to WalMart... Well first we went into Petersburg to get some doughnuts for breakfast before we went... big mistake for me. I know I shouldn't eat sugar in the morning before having anything else, but I guess I wasn't thinking. I got about half way through WalMart and started feeling lightheaded... I thought I was going to pass-out right there w/ Brycen in the cart, that would not of been good. We had a bag of cheese puffs that we were buying in the cart so I hurried and opened them and what seemed at the time like half the bag, but I started feeling better right away. I'm sure I was a sight, but at the time I didn't care I just did not want to pass out! Anyway- we got through the rest of our WalMart trip and then took Taco Bell (YUM!) home for lunch for us and Ryan. Brycen and I had a picnic out on the porch (basically b/c I'm really gaggy at any bad smell and for some reason I could smell something in the kitchen that was making me gag!) Brycen liked having the picnic outside and it was still early enough that it wasn't scorching yet. Saturday evening we went to the Labor Day Festival in Petersburg and Brycen got a wristband and rode and rode and rode so many rides! We got our money worth for sure! We met some friends (Clint, Vanessa, and their little guy Tyler) there and it was a nice evening. I didn't take my purse in and so I didn't have my camera. I'm more than a little disappointed about that! I'm doing horrible about taking pictures lately.

Sunday we went to church (at Berea). Our friends Rich and Melissa met us in the parking lot, so we could sit w/ them and stuff. I didn't feel nearly as dumb as I thought I was going to! I thought I might have a panic attack on the way there. Ryan thought I was just being ignorant, but seriously! Once I got there it was fine! Brycen just went off to class w/ Isaac when it was time and never looked back. After Sunday School class Isaac and B's teacher brought out their stuff and she said to me, "He sure isn't bashful is he?!" Oh dear me, what is that supposed to mean!!!??? lol... No, he normally isn't, and I can only begin to imagine the stories he told them! haha. I probably don't want to know! I'm just glad he had fun and enjoyed himself. He was really happy about it and said he liked "Isaac's church" lol. Mommy & Daddy liked Isaac's church too :) After church we went to Ryan's parents for dinner. It was good, as always! Afterwards, we went home and the boys took a nap, while I hit up a yard sale! There is this lady I know and she has FOUR little boys and has a yard sale every fall, I loveee going to it! I got some great bargins :) I know Brycen always has way too many clothes b/c I buy for him, my mom is always buying him clothes, and then I go to this yard sale and buy way too much! But I think it's fun :) Ryan doesn't complain toooo awful much! haha. We went to my parents for supper Sunday evening. We actually just ordered pizza, but it was sooo good!

Yesterday, Ryan went to work for awhile in the morning (their computer had something wrong w/ it so he went in to try and get it fixed). While he was gone I got so much done around the house. It was in bad need of it after not being home much over the weekend. I was SO glad for the extra day off. Brycen really likes to help pick up, he gets so into it (well when he thinks it is his idea! when it's my idea he isn't so into it!) haha! Ryan got home about 1:30pm and we all just hung out for the afternoon. The boys took naps again and I did more laundry. I was really tired but just couldn't get a nap in for some reason! We went to my parents again last night for supper. My grandma made a casserole she hadn't made since I was a little girl, and it was YUMMY! We didn't stay too long b/c I was exhausted and Brycen needed a bath and to get in bed early b/c he has pre-school today.

It looks like we'll be a month or so behind you! How fun is that?! We are due April 24th. I can't remember yours? Im glad to hear your feeling better, too. I laugh bc I know it will go away, but at the time it seems like you'll feel this way forever!
