Saturday was pretty fun! When we got to their house we kind of stood around and waited to see which of the 3 of us (Me, Stephen or my MIL who are in on the plan) was going to bring up A&W. Finally, Stephen asked me what I wanted for lunch. That was my in. I said hamberbugers and rootbeet. That automatically means A&W. Since Stephen's Dad just got back from town, I was releived when he was willing to go back to town to A&W. Of course he loves A&W so I figured he wouldn't. So we get to the restaurant and it was packed. We talked him into looking for a table and we would buy lunch since they are always paying for us when we go out. When we got the food, we sat down and I put the Grandpa Burger right in front of him very deliberately so he could read it and I sat there with a big smile on my face. So he looks at the burger, then at me, then back at the burger, then back at me and says "really?" I nodded very enthusiastically and then he gave me a big hug. That was really fun. I'd forgotten how good their fries were too!

On another note, this whole past week, my nausea has been getting worse everyday. Its now to the point where it doesn't matter if I eat or not, I'm still nausous. Eating does make it better but it depends on what I eat. If I eat the wrong thing I feel more sick afterwards. I'm still able to keep everything down though. Its just really miserable and exhausting. Stephen is very caring of me though. Hes always checking on me and asking if I need anything. Good thing yesterday was a holiday (Family Day!) Because I was lucky if I could stand up without getting really nausous. Today is about the same but I have to be at school today so I'm trying really hard to hide it. I don't want my lab mate to know. So anyway, yes I'm miserable but I'm trying not to complain too much because I know how special this is and that it will all be worth it. I remember when I was trying I would have killed to feel the way I do now. So thats why I still have the smiley face on my account. I feel awful but its a good thing. I just can't wait to get it over with and to the fun part of watching my belly grow. I didn't get to do that last time and I"m so curious what I will look like with a belly!
