Spoiled Rotten

Back in February, when I was feeling pretty nauseated, Jeff would fix me breakfast in bed. We had read that if a preggo lady eats before she gets up, many times the nausea would dissipate.

Well, my nausea stopped about 6 weeks ago, and I'm still getting breakfast in bed every morning! What an awesome husband I have. Jeff wakes up earlier than me, and when I wake up, he stops whatever he's doing and fixes me breakfast.

I just had to brag on him.

Oh yeah, and I'm 16 weeks tomorrow! CRAZY! Totally not ready to be a mom- sometimes I get really anxious because I don't really know how to take care of a little baby! And then I remember there are four of us in this family- me, Jeff, Baby Rhea, and our Savior who gives us the strength to choose to die to self. And that reassures me. A lot.

Stitches and Stuff






So, I started a new project- SEWING. The product: burp cloths. Why? Seems like everyone I know is having babies these days, so I thought a great present would be to make homemade burp cloths.

I used Jill's tutorial and followed her pattern and directions.

I think they turned out cute! Do you? I'll make sets of 4 for the gifts. :)

Pickles and Icecream


So, we've all heard the stories of the wife asking her husband to go to the store late at night to buy pickles and icecream. Well, though I've definitely wanted both (not at the same time), today was the weirdest craving I've had yet...

I wanted to literally eat the cream cheese block all at once. I showed some restraint and forced myself to eat protein.... a japanese fried porkchop from last night, but this was probably the weirdest meal I've put together yet...
