Feeling a smidge better
Nights are still bad. Evenings, I should say. But the daytime is improving, along with my appetite. Which is good. I’m on the thin side still. I’m almost 10 weeks now (or rather, starting my 10th week this week) so I would expect the morning sickness to begin to abate. It was pretty much gone by 11.5 weeks last time.
I’m thinking about Christmas, what to get everyone this year. I don’t want to spend a lot, so a list and budget is going to be essential. And I am doing a church gift and a toys for tots at our HOPING meeting gift for charity. It’s really about giving back to others who are less fortunate. I’m so lucky. We have food, we’ve paid our bills, we are doing OK.
I hoped to sew, but alas, I’m not in any kind of shape to attempt that big sew-a-thon for the holidays now. I’d settle for finishing the training pants, and sewing a couple maternity outfits. I have in my mind three basic things:
Jeans, a skirt and a couple of cute tops for winter and early spring. Maybe a jacket or dress.
A transition set – dress, skirt, pants, top and loose cardigan in knits that can go from May and June’s big-belly to July and August’s post-partum belly.
And nursing pajamas. Mainly for summer, in light cottons and seersucker to start with. Something pretty and light.
And in between all of this, sewing for my little girl!
