It’s been a rough week, sick-wise. I find myself giving up on eating, because I feel better when I don’t, but I’m getting really tired of feeling hungry all the time.
We had a nice weekend, Conference was great. I didn’t knit a whole lot but the rosy scarf is almost done. Maybe I’ll finish it up today. I haven’t found good beads for the alpaca scarf yet.
It’s Spring Break this week, and the girls are sick. Mostly the older two. Veronica had a little cough at the end of last week, but felt fine otherwise. Abby and Liv are full blown sick. So we’re having a low key break. I’m really tired of being surrounded by coughing.
I’m a bit touched by sweet little Veronica. She’s been sleeping in ’til about 10. I know she’s not a morning person, and I know I wake her up much earlier than she’d like for school, but she gets up so willingly and pleasantly. Having her sleep in this late on her own makes me appreciate how well she gets up when I have to get her up for things. What a sweetheart.
That’s about all. I’ve been in bed a lot the past few days. Feeling rotten. When I got home from my guitar lesson yesterday, I actually cried. I hope it gets better.
Oh, and I had a doctor appointment on Friday. They snuck me in for an ultrasound to see how far along I am, and I’m now 13 weeks. Due October 11th. I wanted an October birthday, so I’m happy about that.

Oh Laura. . . what a bummer to be surrounded by sick and then not feel super hot yourself.
I remember you said that bean burritos were feeling okay, and have been meaning to share this link for my fav. make ahead burritos. You can freeze them and eat them one at a time, or make a whole tray of them for the whole fam. http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/bean-burritos

Can you try to eat a little bit of ginger or peppermint tea, as they are both quite good for tummies that dont do well with food. I had morning sickness for 6 months with my son and had to try to rush out each morning to go to work without being sick along the way. It never actually worked and I always felt so drained afterwards. Make sure when you get up in the morning that you sit on the edge of your bed for a little bit too as I found that helped me. It helps your body adjust to the difference a little bit more. Just think you will have a new bundle of joy in your family, and just before xmas time too. I think it is magical having young children around the xmas period as adults enjoy it so much more.

I was going to suggest the same thing as Sue…Stash has a lemon ginger tea that has a bit if a bite to it. It always calms down nausea for me when I’m not feeling well. And I often take a tin of ginger Altoids in the car for motion sickness, if I know it’ll be a windy road.
