Good Morning Starshine!......ug

With my Mom telling me that she didn't get morning sickness with all her kids I have been getting pretty hopeful that the same will go for me. I don't like throwing up, never have never will. It seems like such a waste to throw up your prenatal and food from that morning. "Well," I thought, "ok, I can do this, I'm not going to get morning sickness".

Here I am in week 7 and so far, I've just been super nauseous at work and food has lost its appeal later in the day. I work in a school so this week there is a break. This is the very first day of the break and what do I get? Morning Sickness.... ug.

I feel awful, I don't even want to leave the house to go wash laundry because I feel... ug. There is always something you aren't prepared for when it comes to pregnancy and my first one is Morning Sickness. Please, any thoughts for me about Morning Sickness, comment, I need to know how to feel better faster.

So far I've heard of:

1. Eat, even though you don't feel like it

2. Deep breaths

On a happier note, Hubby has made dinner the last couple of nights (because like I said before, food in the evening has lost its appeal) and he did something really clever!  He wanted to make Chicken Pot Pies but without the crust, so instead he changed some minor things about the recipe and made it into kind of a stew that we put on homemade bread or rice. It was a pleasant surprise that it turned out so well, he's just smart like that. Gold star for the Hubby!

Oh, Happy Day!

So, I've had quite the week, I haven't posted because of this exciting week. My Dramakazi niece's birthday was on the 18th of the month and so I had the perfect gift idea for her, but before telling you what it is, here's the story that inspired me.

(P.S. I crochet toys a lot and give them to nieces and nephews for birthdays)

A couple months ago, my nieces (Red Curse and Dramakazi) began to find the new "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic" very entertaining. THEY LOVE IT! Dramakazi even has the new Equestria Girls movie. Yeah. Movie. Well, she loves it so much that she started drawing her own ponies. One of these ponies is her interpretation of what she would look like as a pony. It's super cute, she is a pink pony with brown hair pink wings with brown tips and a skull cutie mark. She showed her mom this picture and said, "Mom, can you ask Aunt {Me} to make my pony come to life?"(Meaning have me crochet her pony into life).

Well, seriously, can you resist something so sweet! She thinks I have magic!!!! It's awesome!

My sweet husband and I were brainstorming over what we should give Dramakazi for her birthday and then that story popped into my head and I knew: I was going to make her pony come to life.

I only have about 5 minutes in my day to work on crochet, so for two weeks I crocheted and crocheted and sewed everything together on Sunday and, with her back turned I said "Dramakazi? Who is this?" She turned around and started screaming "THAT'S ME! THAT'S ME!" while jumping up and down, she also told me very earnestly, "I'm going to take it EVERYWHERE. I will never leave the house without it."

:) -I love that :)

Pictures will come soon

Oh, speaking of Sunday. It was my birthday!!!! I was really spoiled this weekend, Hubby took me out to a really nice restaurant and bought me a nice snazzy sewing machine. My family is really nice too! My older brother picked out a beautiful jewelry set for me, and my older sister got me a pretty pearl bracelet, and my little sister got me a jacket (which was MUCH needed, it's getting cold!) and Parents gave birthday money. The only reason why I mention this is because, how nice is that? I mean, they didn't have to do that and they did! I thought that that was really sweet of everyone and I'm so excited to be able to use/wear everything! I actually already wore the jacket because it's cozy and warm :)

Here's my pregnancy update:

I've been feeling kind of nauseous lately, but not to bad. The cramps are what's killing me though, sometimes they are super bad! I talked to a nurse that's associated with my doctor and she said that it's ok and to take tylenol if I need it. But, I didn't bother with the tylenol because I doubt it would do anything, whenever I have had muscle cramps in the past it did nothing for me.

I'm six weeks along! It seems like the weeks have gone by super fast and I'm excited to make some new maternity clothes during the winter!

Have an awesome week!
