I’m here. I’m just tired. And queasy. And unable to do much of anything. I *think* I’m starting to feel a bit better, and I’ve just entered my 11th week of pregnancy, so here’s hoping that the 2nd trimester will be much easier.
In random updates:
- J and I went to a bed and breakfast in Indiana Amish country last weekend. It was a nice getaway, and we ate at Das Essenhaus. The food was great. But then I had to pull the car over before we even made it out of the parking lot and vomit all over the grass. Nice.
- We spent Tuesday and Wednesday in Cleveland for the Coldplay concert. It was AWESOME. I spent a good half hour before the show scouring the crowd to see if I could spot Gwyneth Paltrow. I’ve since learned she was in London, so I guess she wasn’t there. We got lots of butterflies. (Note: that pic’s not mine. Hopefully I’ll get some pics up soon.)
- J and I cannot really agree on any names except Elijah if it’s a boy. I haven’t really come up with other boys’ names that I’m crazy about. I like Amelia, Lola, and Betsy (short for Elizabeth) for girls’ names. He likes Julia and Claire. I want us to both be happy with the selection. And then there’s the whole bit that we’re NAMING someone. I want to get it right.
- I need my hair highlighted badly. I feel washed out and drab. This is what would make me feel really, super great: highlights, getting my eyebrows threaded, a massage, some cute and comfy new clothes. And shoes. And a personal chef. And a maid. This really isn’t too much to ask, is it?
That’s all for now. Hope you are all well!

Glad to hear from you! I’m sorry you’ve been feeling sick. Hope that improves very soon.
The Amish B&B sounds wonderful as does the Coldplay concert. We saw them here in Dallas once and they were great. When Dots was about 5, her ballet teacher was dating one of the guys from Coldplay (Jonny Buckland). She got to accompany him to the Grammys when CP won Best New Artist. She also went along on part of their tour. It was quite fun hearing about everything and living somewhat vicariously through her!

Are you serious? How does one get to date Jonny Buckland?! That is so cool.

Are you kidding me, a first-trimester mom who has vomited up a nice dinner out deserves all those spa treatments and MORE.
Good luck with the naming …. it’s the most fun and most overwhelming thing for me. As soon as I pop out and name a child I start coming up with names for the next one.
