From glowing to green...

I would be terrible on bed rest, not that I expect to have to ever do that, I'm just saying, I can't sit still. When I wanted Thomas to throw his banana, peel and all, out of the car window at 6 am this morning, I should've known this was coming. Normally, I have all the love for bananas. After vomiting at work three times I decided that I really should just go home. I expected to get home and perk up because I wasn't at work, and then feel guilty for leaving and not really being sick, but that didn't happen. I have been on this couch since 10 am, with my feet up, expecting for my stomach to settle , stop making little growling, gurgling, and popping sounds, and stop hurting. So far this hasn't happened. It's only been 3.5 hours and I'm already tired of entertaining myself in the sitting position. I'm at home, a home full of sewing and cleaning projects that I really want to get done. I know if I got up and worked on them I'd only get sicker, so I'm trying to sit still- Eden is good motivation to behave.

All this time on the couch with the computer did give me a chance to check on the ice cream maker Thomas and I ordered 28 days ago... pregnant women should not have to wait this long for ice cream :). It has not even shipped yet! Should ship between today and, oh, the 18th of September. So much for throwing an ice cream tasting party this month. Tommy and Melissa B. were so sweet last Christmas to get us this amazing ice cream recipe book that I've been dying to try out. What I didn't want to tell them then was that our ice cream maker had just recently broken. It took me a while, but the situation is soon to be corrected and soon yummy pictures of ice cream will be here for oggling.

In less trivial news, Eden's quilt is finished- I'm really happy with how it turned out, and I've already washed it and it didn't fall apart, yay! Pictures will be posted later. I also put in my 4 weeks notice last week at work. Sooo... I have three weeks left. It's a bit surreal- I'm overwhelmed by how God has provided for us so I can be a stay at home mama while Eden is so little. Her nursery is getting painted tomorrow and should be carpeted within the next two weeks.

Ok, time to try to eat P B & J.....
