a brownie sundae. It was sooo good!

Symptoms? I received a new pregnancy book from a friend and was looking thru the exercises they listed and decided to give them a try. I was a little eager with one of them and sprained my muscle on the right side of my abdomen, a little painful. I will stick to walking for the next few weeks.
Best Moment of the Week? Matt bought the baby her first gift. It was a Jelly Cat stuffed bunny. It is the cutest thing and I love that he bought it.
