Board Games

Brian & I started a game of Cities & Knights with Ethan last Wednesday. It's been on our table all week waiting for them to come back tomorrow so we can finish it. (Treyton was concerned that the "Toy Monster", who takes toys that are left out overnight, would take our game. I told him I'd write the Toy Monster a note explaining the situation and asking him to leave the game alone.)

I love playing board games and having one out in plain sight all week has made me want to play more.
Yesterday I challenged Brian to a game of Scrabble. He was really giving me a run for my money... until I managed to get a 66-point word ("quartz" with the "q" on a double-letter score plus a double-word score). Seriously, I think he would have beat me if it hadn't been for that word.
Then we played Rummikub. I had never played before in my life, but I thought we could both learn together. Turns out, Brian has played it for years... He totally cleaned my clock. I did not feel guilty for Scrabble after that. :)

I still want a Rummikub rematch. :)

Thirteen Weeks

I hit the thirteen week mark this past Tuesday. I'm officially in the second trimester. Apparently I should be getting over the morning sickness about now, but I never had any... My sisters are jealous; they've had more than their fair shares.

Last night I dreamed that I could feel the baby doing somersaults. But I really can't feel anything yet. I don't even feel pregnant (probably because of no sickness).

One of my sisters is having a girl in June. Another sister is having a boy in September. I'm going to wait another month or so to find out what we're having, but our baby will have a same-gendered cousin close in age either way. :)
