Happy birthday to me! I’m having a party today. When we first began planning it, we were thinking it would be nice to have a few people over to watch the Superbowl. Only later on did we realize the Superbowl fell on the same day as my birthday. Ha ha! How convenient. Robert bought me a birthday cake and 35 candles. Why 35? Was he confused? I’m not 35 yet!!!

Out of It
21 January, 2001 | Amy | No Comment
I feel really out of touch with everyone since I’ve cut back on computer time. It’s kind of lonely. I’m hoping these headaches I’ve been experiencing will go away soon so I can catch up with all of my on-line friends 
I started knitting a pretty yellow baby blanket. I had about six inches of it done when Zora got a hold of it and ripped a big hole in it. Being as hormone-enhanced as I am right now, I burst into tears. Nothing Robert said or did could console me. I’ve started over again. *sigh*
Last night, Robert took me out to an Indian restaurant for dinner and then we went to the theatre and saw Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. It was so much fun! We hadn’t gone on a date like that in ages. One thing about having a baby that scares me is the possibility that our romantic times together might get few and far between. I hope not. Roses and chocolates, candlelight dinners and dancing do something good for the soul.
Pregnancy is a mixed bag.
16 January, 2001 | Amy | No Comment
Pregnancy is a mixed bag. On the one hand, I’m thrilled about the new life growing within me. On the other hand, morning sickness, blurred vision, headaches, faintness, and exhaustion are taking their toll on me. I’m feeling a bit better today, so perhaps those symptoms will gradually decrease in severity. I’ve got my fingers crosssed.
My first doctor’s appointment is tomorrow. I’m both excited and nervous. It will be nice to have someone answer my questions and put to rest my fears. I’d really like to know how far along I am (my period is very irregular so I haven’t been able to calculate the est. due date) so I can start making arrangements for a prolonged absence from work.
Two days ago we shared the good news with our parents. Being the nervous Nelly that I am, I was worried that they would think we were foolish for getting pregnant so soon after our wedding. I shouldn’t have worried. They were thrilled…my parents especially, since this will be their first grandchild. My mother is chomping at the bit to start spoiling the child.
