House, Tomatoes and SUV's

It has been an extremely busy long weekend. I am exausted. The bulk of my 'morning sickness' has moved itself to the afternoon and evening. It is all I can do to climb into bed and will myself to sleep. Sleeping through it seems to be the only option. Since a new month is upon us, this is my house in July.

I picked my first vine ripe tomato Saturday morning. Isn't it gorgeous? It tasted like heaven! We grilled big fat juicy burgers sunday evening and ate them with lettuce and tomato from the garden. It was a feast!

I have been in Fairfax all day. I went with the intentions of only looking. We struck a deal and Friday I pick up this SUV. Ford Excursion, V10 Triton engine, 4x4, Eddie Bauer, DVD player hulking monster of a truck. We had seriously considered buying the new Explorer but the 3rd row backseat is shabby by my standards. It is a very flimsy looking seat and cramped. Our new truck seats 8. We should have plenty of room when baby makes 6.

I need to go to bed now. :-/

You poor thing. Morning sickness is horrible no matter what time of day it comes. The only good thing is that supposedly it means that all those good pregnancy hormones are nice and strong. I have no idea if that's really true, but it's how I comforted myself through both of my first trimesters. Anyway, feel better, rest, eat a lot of watermelon.

Sleep it all off and don't feel guilty about it at all. Be as kind and gentle to yourself as you can. Slow your pace down. It won't last forever, though I know it always seems to feel like it will.

I wanted a RED SUV, darnit! Well, this color is okay as long as I get to drive.

(Ice cream and dill pickles, kid. This, too, shall pass.)

Listen to your body and do what it wants! It's working extra hard so naturally you are exhausted!
Beautiful house and cool SUV - I'll watch for you on the road - we're practically neighbors since I live in Herndon!

The first trimester is always the worst for sickness; hopefully you will be done with it soon.

You will love having the DVD player; my daughter loves hers.

Yup morning sickness is by far the worst. I had it for 6 months straight with my first. I have never puked so much in my entire life. But like someone else said. It means that baby is healthy! YAY :)

I like your house it's very big
The truck! Woo hoo very very nice :)

You must be sick if the cool red car and the smell of the new SUV doesn't snap you out of it!

Your tomatoes look luscious, as does your cute house all buntinged up. I LOVE YOUR HOUSE!

Feel better, wonderwoman. It will get better soon.
