So you might have noticed that I have not updated in a little over a month… that’s becuase I’ve been battling the dreaded Morning Sickness! Yes Judy B is having a baby! And actually it’s Judy R now… my mother flat refused to tell anyone about the baby until I got married. So after nearly 15 years Nathen and I are finally, finally official.
As a side note – Morning Sickness is a misnomer… it’s just Sickness… morning, noon, and night. Luckily I haven’t actually had to make the mad dash to a receptacle yet… but I feel the need in varying degrees ALL THE TIME – if I eat too much, if a eat too little, if I stand too long, if I think too hard… ALL THE TIME. Nathen has actually run me out of the house three times in the last week trying to cook me something I can actually eat because even smells are grossing me out. Nothing tastes the way is should and I’m actually drinking more caffiene than before because Coke is pretty much the only thing that helps… and sometimes even that dosen’t work. I’ve eaten more sweets in the last month than I have in the last year… apparently the baby has his fathers’ sweet tooth – but completely and totally loathes sweet tea, which I found out the hard way.
So as a result I haven’t done much but sit in the recliner and feel miserable… in between going to work and feeling miserable. I started a Homespun Prayer Shawl in early July (I’ll post pictures eventually) that should have been a two week project tops… and I’m only about half way through it. Not to mention the other projects I was commissioned for before the Sickness hit me… and not counting the gift projects I still haven’t finished from earlier this year. Talk about a snowball affect.
Anyway – I just wanted to let everyone know I’m still here and still checking in… just feeling really crudy and unmotivated… when does the nesting start already.
