Kumquat, yer grounded!

I guess Kumquat has graduated to fig status this week. nice. Kumquat is more fun though. So, a few more ramblings from these parts. Dave took his exam on Tuesday and did very well and passed. I need to teach him some things about perfectionism though, because he tends to only focus on what he missed, instead of all the things he got perfectly right. I just don't get that. (ha. I've been realizing how much both of us, at least in certain areas, have such crazy high standards for ourselves. I'm sure it's a deep seated spiritual issue. Now we get to wonder how all our faults will warp our offspring. hooray!) Anyway, the night that he passed, all I wanted more than anything else in the world, was just to go out to eat, celebrate, and have a good time. But alas, I instead laid on the couch with a very upset tummy. I was so bummed. This little kumquat...er.. fig, has sure been a little pill lately. When I got the cold, I noticed that the nausea was getting better, but as soon as the cold started getting better, the nausea came back in full force. What's with that!?! Anyhoo, we have plans to celebrate the first night I can tolerate the thought of going out to eat.

I feel like this is all boring rambling about preg. type stuff. I guess I don't get out so much these days so what else do I have to write about? A couple days ago Dave and I were talking about Thanksgiving and suddenly I head the urge for a cold turkey sandwich, you know the kind you make with the left over turkey from thanksgiving. oh man... the urge wouldn't leave. Actually, that and one of Rita's home made cinnamon buns were about the only 2 things in the world I felt like eating. So last night Dave went searching for turkey. Isn't he sweet? Comes home with a turkey breast for us to cook. haha. we didn't' really know what we were doing and in the end, well, I fell fast asleep and woke up at 11 to eat (it was nice and cold by then) but it was sorta grisly and I had to gag it down. rats. Next time we'll try to prepare it differently as well I think. just didn't do it for me.

There is a doc at the ob/gyn office I go to now, who's name is Dr. Peek. I'm just immature enough to find that hilarious.

Yesterday I was able to go to Bible Study finally and it was great to be there again and get to share our news with a few people who didn't know it yet. And it was a great discussion as well.
= )

It's Friday and that makes me indescribably happy.

Oh, I'll just answer the questions from the comments from the last post here: Kendra - May 7th, Sabrina, you ask me for suggestions for names, but the thing is, being the youngest is a large line of fertile siblings, I have had so many names that I liked snatched away. It grieves my soul. So I offer you girl names I like - Hazel, Gertrude, Begonia, and Veranda. Wait a second, I guess it wouldn't matter if we had kids with the same name, since we only see each other about once a decade...hmmmmm..... but I can't list the ones I really like either. = ) Althogh I do think a little Rachie would go quite nicely with your boy's names. = P Robyn, haha, yes we have tended to difer on name selections, although I pretty much like your girl's names. I'm always open to suggestions (unlike Dave).

Well, I think I've bored you all long enough. More to come.
