Valentine's Day Weekend

It's been such a great weekend...and it's not over yet! Michael has the day off, so we're enjoying the three-day weekend.

Friday night we went out and bought a new camera. Our old one had seen better days. It was really nice when we bought it five years ago, but now it's slow and outdated...and it was dying. We got a great deal on a basic digital camera with a "high-speed burst" mode. It that setting, it takes seven pictures a second, so we should be able to capture all those cute MJ moments we missed with our old one, which took seven seconds to take one picture. :)

Saturday was Valentine's Day. I had planned on cooking the family a fun breakfast, but was feeling some pretty bad morning sickness and didn't want to deal with cooking smells, so we went out. After breakfast, we walked to the park, and Marlee played for a long time. While she napped, Michael and I got ready for our date. Grammy came over around 3, and we went out for an early dinner and movie. Our dinner was amazing, and the movie (He's Just Not That Into You) was cute.

Yesterday we went to Ikea for lunch (mmm...Swedish meatballs!) and a bit of browsing. We are beginning to shop for Marlee's new room, because we want to have it ready before the new baby arrives. We found some things we like, so we'll get started on that in a few weeks. The rest of the day was not so great-- more morning sickness. I pretty much hung out on the sofa until bedtime.

I'm not sure if I'm more sick this time around or if it's just harder because I have a toddler. I do seem to remember napping under my desk at work on occasion. I'm really looking forward to the end of morning sickness. Hopefully not too much longer!
