wow, i don't remember feeling this under the weather when i was pregnant with Asa. I am going to keep this brief because I need sleep :) We had our first prenatal doctor's appointment today. Unfortunately we didn't hear the heart beat. I am 9 weeks as far as the doctor could tell though, so that is good news. I go back in two weeks to hear the heart beat. If we still can't hear it, then I'll get an ultrasound to determine how far along I actually am!
I bought sea bands for the acupressure...its supposed to alleviate some of the nausea, not sure if it works yet. Although I feel less like i am going to vomit but still a lot of indigestion. Oh well! Not like the whole world wants to know how my stomach is feeling LOL. (it's not like the whole world reads this blog either ;)
My house is a mess, but I feel motivated to do it....tomorrow! I will have to post after I am done with that! I've been buying ready-made dinners for the family since cooking makes me ill. It's worked out well this week. The first night we had some amazingly tasty frozen pizzas from Trader Joes. They were imported(at least one was) from Italy and you could tell it was hand tossed! It was completely organic and the veggies were sooo yummy. We also had one that had sausage and pepperoni, but they were uncured and all natural and good for you :) The best part...they only cost $4.99 each!! Which is less that I had budgeted for my shopping list with Giant. So thought I'd pass that on :)
GOODNIGHT!

nice weather
Yesterday and today have been just beautiful out! The temperature outside is great. Asa and I went to Struble Trail today with Liz. That was nice, we walked about 2.5 miles then had some lunch. On our way home I saw a blimp off in the distance. I was driving on 30 east and I could see it toward West Chester. When we got into W.C. I noticed that it said "For the IF in Life" and the other side had "Metlife" on it. So apparently that is the "Snoopy 2" blimp and I am assuming that it is on it's way to Baltimore for an NFL game this saturday. It was headed south, although it still has a few days, who knows!
The movie "Manic" was pretty good. There was alot of cursing though, and violence. It was definitely indie, i thought it was filmed well.
I think I am going to go take a nap!

this time around
So today was not eventful...or was it.
I did sleep in for once, which was nice. I haven't been able to take a nap lately. Though I am not quite sure why--my housework isn't done either. I've been busy all week but, you'd think I'd have done more things considering the time I used doing nothing when I could've been sleeping.
I feel jittery inside. I don't think it's morning sickness, but I definitely have much food aversion. I also have a LOT of indigestion :( Asa has been working on getting his eye teeth to pop through, so he's been absolutely miserable all day. I babysat his cousin this morning and Asa was so terrible the whole time. It's really not like him, so I know it's because of the teeth. But I still have to deal with it! He didn't take a nap, but rather trashed his room. Then when I let him out he did nothing but whine and SCREAM all day. I felt too out of sorts to make dinner, so Mark ordered some sandwiches. It was very helpful but I feel guilty considering our budget overages. YIKES i am complaining incessantly. Some other things happened today that were good.
Tomorrow we are going with my Aunt and her family to the Bowers Chili Pepper Festival. I think it will be fun I am interested in purchasing some neat-o peppers and pepper-related prepared foods :)
I hopefully will get to go to bed early. If I can get off of the computer, get the dishes washed, and do a load of laundry :)....and I CAN do it :) I just need to encourage myself over and over and think about how good I'll feel when I'm done!
Asa has his allergist appointment on Monday. It'll be the appointment where he gets stuck on the back with many needles. I have this numbing cream I am to rub on his back before we go and then cover with plastic wrap.
That should definitely be an interesting morning.
My brother is vacationing in California this week and it reminds me of when I went out there for a couple weeks. I told him to visit this place called the Huntington. If you ever go to the L.A. area you must visit this art museum/botanical garden it's so beautiful! I really hope my brother gets to visit it!
Oh, this whole week I was basically without a car. The low oil pressure light came on and the dealership told me not to drive it. We eventually had it towed yesterday and it turned out to be a failing battery only! For some reason when batteries die they sometimes trip the circuit to the main computer system to the car(i know i've used the wrong terminolgy) and it was switching the oil pressure light on. It was barely starting either so we had originally thought that their was something very seriously wrong with the engine. BUT....it was really nothing :) and it cost me nothing !!!!! Best part!
We're about to watch Manic I'll let you know how it is.
Goodnight

Tyler is Seven today!
Tyler's birthday celebration went really well! First we took him to two toy stores and let him pick out some toys. Then we went to his favorite restaurant "Red Robin" and had lunch with some other family members. It was very nice. They brought out a huge piece of ice cream cake and sang to him! Today is his actual birthday though, he is seven. I got some pictures, but I have to buy a universal card reader so I can put them on here. Hopefully I can get one today.
Labor day was quiet...except for the news of a new little one!!
Our car is broken so I will be with out it for who knows how long, on Thursday i am getting a loaner car. Thankfully it's under warranty so it's not going to be that bad for us!
Tonight for dinner I am going to make Chipotle Shrimp Taco with Avocado Salsa Verde
Asa is doing well. Chatting up a storm and always asking questions. When we went to the toy store the other day it was really funny because he gasped when we walked through the door then started pointing to many things and saying very emphatically "I Like That!! I Like That!"
He's also been looking at the papers that came with Tyler's action figures which show other characters to collect. He tells us which ones he wants. "Mom, I want this one. Mom I buy this one!"
I really need to start with seriously potty training him. I guess we have a bout 7 months to do this:)
At the bottom of this page you can see a little count down graphic YAY!
I better go get the day started!

catching up
I wish I could be more consistant with my blogging! We have been doing so much lately. I haven't been able to upload pictures because the cable for my camera is missing. I wish this laptop had a memory card slot like our pc--either that or Mark would let me hook our pc up to the internet!
So I wrote in my last post about driving by the set of "the Happening" at Cheyney U. Funny, but I kind of happened upon another set this past wednesday. I was visiting my baby cousin Chase for the first time, he has an older sister who is Asa's age so we took the kids to the park near his house. On our way over my Aunt said "Oh, guess what!? They are filming a movie in my neighborhood!" so I blurted out..."Is it the Happening?!" It was. We were walking across the street it was on when she said, "Do you want to check it out?" She mentioned that normally it was much more crowded and you couldn't get anywhere near it. (I SO WISH I TOOK PICTURES!) So there were a few cops sitting around the huge set. It was a crash scene where a red jeep hits a tree in a fork in the road. It's supposed to be set in Princeton NJ.--there was a lareg sign welcoming us-- it was so cool to see about 6 red jeeps all very similar looking in a row. The last two were semi-crashed, and very-crashed, one had a strange camera contraption built on top. I guess I didn't mention that we were allowed to walk right up to everything. They weren't filming at the moment so the actors and film crew were gone. The set was all ours!!!! There were some people washing a car and fixing road signs and moving superficial things around. It was really cool. The main crash tree was actually fake and we could tell from the back of it that it had bolts holding it together! There was also lighting apparatus in the large "real" tree behind it. My aunt said that her neighbor who's house would be seen in the movie was asked if they could plant a hedge around their front yard....it looked so natural, but I guess it had just been put in. The grass was also fake.
I'll add more later, it's time to go celebrate Tyler's birthday!
