Hi little one,
Isn't it weird how the weather can change your mood so dramatically from one day to the next? Yesterday was gorgeous...70s outside, and your daddy and I had a great day. Today, there is snow on the ground and your daddy and I can't seem to do anything but either nap or fight. :(

Wedding: we registered at Bed Bath and Beyond and Kohl's yesterday. Your daddy got to run around and scan things like a little kid --he loved it! By the time we got through half of BBB, though, I was a little crabby because it was 4:15 and I hadn't eaten lunch. At that point, we decided to stop for the day and go back later :) I'll admit, it was a little weird making a master wish list of things we want. I hate asking for things from people, so it was hard for me to agree to ask for a lot of things. I hope you're not like that, and that you can ask for whatever you want without feeling guilty.

Friends: Once we got home from registering, your daddy started making pizza dough for dinner. I was munching on chips and salsa when we got the call from Shaun and Amelia asking us to go to dinner. Of course we said yes, and I'm so glad we did even though I was soooo tired! Your daddy showed them our latest sonogram picture of you, and Amelia was so excited that she started crying right there at the table! She knows how much we've wanted you, and how long we've waited for you to come along. She can't wait for your arrival. In fact, she was already talking about making you tiny baby clothes! It was a great dinner.

Home: Even though I feel a lot better physically (no more morning sickness, no cramps), I've realized I'm still a lazy bum. I get random spurts of energy where I do a million things around the house and get a lot done, and then there are times when it's a huge effort to walk to the kitchen and find something to eat. I was kind of in lazy bum mode when I took this picture of your daddy folding laundry. (Isn't he adorable being so domestic??) I told him that this is proof he CAN fold laundry, so there's no getting out of it in the future!!

No work tomorrow because of a mini spring break, so I'll write to you again then!
Love you,
Mommy
