13 weeks: Hibernation

This week brought on some of the craziest weather I have ever experienced. Well, to say I experienced it might be a stretch, I watched it from inside the 75 degree house. I ended up hibernating inside for several days while the temperature reached into the -30's with the windchill. Thankfully my job doesn't force me to commute in such ridiculous temperatures. Brant was a trooper adventuring to work each day through snow, ice and even a blizzard.

The weekend brought more moderate temperatures...who would have thought that temperatures in the 20's seemed like a treat. Our week ended in a power outage (even though there was no wind). Brant realized that our refrigerator food was safer outside than inside our house since we weren't sure how long our power would be out. This type of temperature is just something you don't experience in Seattle.

On Monday, I went shopping at the Marrone Pregnancy Store. Nicole loaned out everything I could possibly need in the next several months including tons of maternity clothes, pregnancy books, a pregnancy pillow and even clothes from her friend Maddie. I have so many different outfits to choose from I don't even know where to start. I realize though my excuse for wearing pajamas all the time has dissipated with this accumulation - probably a good thing :)

Overall I have had a little bit less nausea but am still exhausted pretty much all the time. Brant thinks this is because I am not eating enough - I think it is because I spend all my time eating. Surely this debate will continue.
