Melanie ~ look at me with starry eyes...

Feels like it's been a productive day. Reagan wrote a five paragraph essay on "three things that describe her". It's actually a school assignment for next week, but she's had some issues following instructions on paragraphs, so I hoped that if we went over it, she tried it, she could see how well she could actually write, and hopefully that would carry over to school. I was actually really impressed with what she wrote. I hope she does as well in class, she will need to write it again, for her teacher. She's a smart kid, sometimes I think she'd do better without the distractions of socializing and just the focus on her school work. Leave the socializing for after school. A year or two of homeschooling would probably do wonders.

After her work, she showed me her interpretive dance, which was really cute, but involved a lot of spinning which seemed to make us both dizzy. :P

Tim's been working on my laptop all afternoon, poor guy, so much work and it just isn't working for him. I appreciate how much time he put into it, but I think we are going to have to buy a new motherboard for it. We both thought about just buying a smaller laptop for me, but this one is a really good laptop, is worth fixing, and the motherboard (on ebay) is way cheaper than a new laptop.

Amy and her mom made soup this afternoon, and sent over a big bowl of it for us. I'm hoping I can eat it, I've been able to eat her soup, but not my own for some reason. If I've done any work to make a meal, my body says no.

I woke up feeling like I had a bad head cold, but it has slowly eased off, just a headache remaining. I think my body is worn out this week. It needs more food, less morning sickness.

I was way too sick to drive to get Reagan today, so Tim took the afternoon off so Reagan wouldn't have to go to daycare this afternoon. I really hope that next week, trimester 2, I feel a bit better and can do my normal things!

I hope that how sick I was this week doesn't affect my baseline testing for the midwives.


Also, I pulled some leaves out of the sump pump and plugged it in, and it's working again, thank goodness. I think it just froze at one spot and that forced the pipes apart. We will probably replace the piping eventually, but we are sort of slow with those kinds of chores ;)
