Dang Technology...

So we finally figured out the problem with our computer/internet. Well, Justin figured it out. Turns out, it was simply our new wireless mouse interfering with our wi-fi internet... Seriously?! We were ready to call the internet company, thinking something was wrong with the connection, or our whole computer or something... and all it took was disabling the wireless mouse and plugging the old one back in.

*He's been quite the handy-man around here lately. One of our tree sprinkler/bubbler things broke and he spent the whole afternoon fixing it.*

ANYWAYS, I'll try to catch up a little bit. First of all, the ultrasound picture. Not much to see because I was only 6 weeks. Still, it was nice to see that the baby is really there.

It's so small it's not even the obvious circle in the top picture, that's the yolk sac. It's the tiny white smudge towards the bottom of the circle. (Red circle around it in the top picture, and a tiny arrow pointing to it in the bottom picture) Told ya, not much to look at...

It IS, however, something to drain my energy. The past several days I have been beyond tired and nauseous around the clock. I've only thrown up once, but most days I feel like I can't stand up straight. I know it seems silly because as of today I'm only 7 weeks, but... If it's not the pregnancy causing my ickiness, then I have some sort of bug that needs to go away, and fast!

Justin has been so awesome too! Yesterday when he came home, I was curled up in a little ball on the couch and he jumped right in taking care of Carrie, doing the dishes, getting me a snack, putting Carrie down for a nap, getting us all dinner. I don't know how to make him know how thoroughly thankful I am. I hope this helps, although I've said it 100 times already.

I do have some good moments, such as the following; Justin bought Carrie a little wading pool to play in and we tried it out the other day. She liked it ok, but I don't think the water had enough time to really warm up before we had her get in. Hopefully we'll get some good use out of it this summer. (You can also notice the lovely background of our backyard if you look hard enough... weeds, dirt, and more weeds...)

I know I had a ton of little stories floating around in my head the last several days without a chance to blog them, but as I'm sitting here now, I don't remember a single one of them. Well, Carrie's asleep and I'm probably going to try to take a little nap while she's down :)
