Happy Fetus Day!

No, this is not a national holiday but it is a milestone. Today is a brand new day and my little embryo has graduated into the fetus club! Congratulations Beanie Baby!! Most people will probably think I am completely crazy for such a celebration, but this is huge for me. On a more unpleasant note, my morning sickness is still sticking around like glue. Last night was really a true test for me. For the first time since experiencing this horrible sickness, I went out with Chris. Here is the rundown.

Chris wanted to go out and grab some dinner and catch a late movie. Well, there were several things wrong with this idea but some positive things as well. As much as I love, love, love to go out on a kid-free night on the town, I wasn't exactly feeling "up to it." I sat here all day contemplating on if I should and justifying it as well. With much deliberation I decided it might do me some good to get out of the house for a few hours. I drug myself around and got ready. It is amazing how much you can shock yourself when you actually shower, apply makeup and style your hair. I felt like I just received an Extreme Makeover. I managed to get ready before our appointed time to leave!

We were off to Chili's and then to see Cloverfield. When we arrived at Chili's we were not shocked to see that the establishment was completely packed out! I was actually relieved because I did not want to be in a hot, crowded restaurant. So we left and decided to go to a little place we have frequented many times in the past 8 years we have lived here. We chose to eat at Monjuni's. It is a real authentic Italian cafe. It is little and quaint and the food is really awesome. Even I was getting a little excitement out for the fact that I really love eating there. Our server was really nice and she offered us the special, Shrimp Aurora. It was a dish that the owner came up with one day I guess while business was slow. Chris didn't hesitate to order that. It was their original red sauce mixed with alfredo sauce with shrimp and angel hair pasta topped with provolone cheese and twice baked. It took me a little longer on my decision. Well, for obvious reasons. After about 10 minutes of decision making I finally chose the Homemade Lasagna.

The food was excellent as always. I actually tried a bite of Chris' and it was really good too. We couldn't finish our food but we took some home. The owner of the restaurant joined us. He told his servers that if they sold 3 of the Shrimp Aurora dished that he would give them a free Milky Way Cake. OMG! We tried one of those and it was sinful! I ate more than Chris and that is really saying something at this point. So we left full and ready to go see a movie. Cloverfield was a pretty decent movie. I am sure I would be able to give it a better review if I had felt better. I got really dizzy and hot and had a couple of "close calls." Meaning I felt like I was gonna throw up at least a half dozen times. I actually left the theater and went to the bathroom. I guess I was just stuffy because I didn't actually throw up. I started feeling a little better after we left. Nonetheless we had a good time and it was definitely worth going on for. I am sure once I have finally kicked the morning sickness phase of my pregnancy I won't be such a cheap date. I will be eating more than Chris! I actually can't wait. Ha Ha!

So today I am going to hang out with the kids, eat steak, attempt to clean a little, help Mikey get started on his Social Studies Project and basically just take it easy. I am really excited to be here and at least able to enjoy life.
