Hi there! It's been a while, and I've missed you.
First of all, I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for all of your well-wishes, congratulations, and ever-so-helpful morning sickness tips! I feel truly enveloped by all of this woman-power. I can't wait to continue to share my journey to motherhood with you all.
You might have guessed that, given my inability to sit down and compose a happy, craft-related blog in the past two weeks, I must still be in the throes of morning sickness. What a joy it has been! The good news is that it seems to be mellowing a bit. I'm anticipating my big return to taking photos, preparing food other than smoothies, and getting back to biking and exercising by next week. I can feel it - the baby even allowed me to eat small helpings of Indian food a few days back. A victory, indeed! I'm sure blogging will pick back up again, too. I just figured that you wouldn't be that interested in a litany of queasy reviews. No one wants to read about the world from queas-colored glasses.
To leave you on a funny note, here's last night's conversation while laying in bed:
Me: "Ugh. What smells like burnt popcorn?"
Patrick: "What are you talking about? I don't smell anything."
M: "You don't smell that really gross burnt popcorn smell?"
P: "Nope - maybe a stove top burner was left on?"
M: (Getting up to check but stopping, instead, next to the window) "Oh, nasty. It's the bamboo shade."
P: "What did you just say?"
M: "It's the window shade. It smells really bad. Can we take it off?"
P: "I think I've heard it all."
May you all have a wonderful weekend. But watch out for bamboo window shades.
