- Friday-I stayed home from work due to the oh-so-lovely morning sickness. I was sick off and on throughout the day. My house was trashed and Reyna & I were still in our jammies when daddy came home. The bummer part? I wasn't able to scrapbook that night.
- Saturday-Jade had a class in Manchester all day. I woke up out of a dead sleep @ 5 am heaving (I know, tmi..sorry) and it just got worse from there. Spent most of the day in the ER, couldn't get a hold of Jade. Thank God my parents were around, mom stayed with me and dad picked up Reyna and took her to get food and a nap. After fluids and meds, I started to feel better, just tired. That night, we just hung out at home. I was in bed by 8.
- Sunday, I felt pretty good. No throwing up...that was a bonus. We just hung around the house until 3 when we decided to make a trip to good ol' Meijer. We declined an invitation to a super bowl party due to the fact I was tired and we just felt like being at home. We picked up a rack of ribs, made au gratin potatoes and nachos for an app. I watched most of the game and then decided to head to bed. The upside to the weekend???? I won 125 dollars in a super bowl pool. How exciting, huh? I will be putting that money to good use. :)
That was the weekend. Nothing too exciting. I will be at the end of my first trimester this upcoming Saturday and cannot wait!

Jade & I have decided to spend a weekend in Chicago. Just us. I am so excited. We haven't had a chance to really get away since Reyna was born. Everytime we go somewhere, she has been with us. I am currently looking for hotels and would love some imput. Any suggestions? We are wanting to stay right on Michigan Avenue due to convenience. If you have places you would recommend, please let me know. There are way too many to choose from and I would like to stay somewhere different. Oh, and food. We are looking into doing a nice dinner for Saturday night. Suggestions? We were thinking seafood, but are up for anything. Thank you, in advance.

Sorry that your morning sickness has been so brutal! Hope it starts to get better with the 2nd trimester. :)
Sorry about the morning sickness, that is not fun. How exciting a weekend away in Chicago just the 2 of you. I have never been there so I am no help at all, But have a great time.
when tom and i went to chicago last summer we stayed at hotel 71. it was nothing super fancy but nice enough and reasonable for downtown chicago... plus it was in a good spot, right at the river and michigan ave. so we could walk up to the shops or down to millennium park.
we went to the signature room at the top of the hancock building for lunch which was awesome! we got reservations right when it opened, got there early and were able to sit right next to the window. it's expensive but worth the view (if you just pay to go up to the top of the building, it's $13 a person or something anyway... so you might as well eat). i don't really remember the actual food... i think we just had sandwiches... but, you are really going there for the ambiance anyway. we also went to harry caray's where the food was amazing.
Whoo hoo on the win. Hopefully the morning sickness will come to an end soon.
How terrible that you spent Saturday in the ER! Hopefully this will all come to an end any time. And Chicago, I'm jealous...that will be a blast!
so sorry that you are feeling sick. i had horrid hyperemesis with all the kids and just reading your post made me queasy! hope you feel better soon and have a great time in the windy city!
I can't think about Chicago wihtout thinking Cheesecake Factory, yum!;) Not exactly seafood but I bet they have some sort of fish on their menu=) Friday works great! See you then?

125 bucks...lucky girl! What will you buy?
Bummer about the morning sickness, but so happy you get to go to Chicago!
I am so glad that you are feeling better! I can't wait to see you tomorrow!
Maybe you've already made your Chicago plans, but I recommend using priceline or hotwire for getting somewhat of a "deal" on hotels. You can select the area of the city where you want to stay, and the number of hotel stars you want. The downside is that the sites don't let you know the name of the hotel until you book it, but you can find some good deals, and it's sort of fun to get surprised! We've gotten rooms at the Knickerbocker and the Marriot in DT Chicago using this. Also on my blog I have a listing of restaurants where I've eaten, and a few of them are in Chicago from a trip my husband and I took last spring. Bistro Margot, Hot Chocolate (SOOOO good desserts! in the Bucktown neighborhood), and Yoshi's Cafe were all very good.
