Sudden Burst of Craftiness

My good friend Meghan came over Sunday afternoon; our purposes were two-fold. First, watch one of my favorite movies of all time, Roman Holiday, to help destress and relax from our busy weekends. Second, and most important, to put together glass bulb wreaths with ornaments we picked up from Williamsburg Pottery over the summer. They turned out fabulous (if you ignore the fact that the bulbs were not only plastic, but had a seam running down the middle of each one--but that's okay, it was our first attempt, and well worth the effort). Plus, they cost about $12 each to make. Now I can't wait for the holidays to be able to put it up!!

I have so lucky to have people in my life who share my love of all things crafty!!

In other news, we have made it to Week 10! After a few symptom-free days about two weeks ago where I began to wonder if everything was alright, my body corrected itself and is back to its usual array of symptoms--extreme tiredness, coupled with being hungry every hour and a half or so. I do feel fortunate that the whole nausea, morning sickness routine has yet to make an appearance--hopefully we can keep that up. There is also an ongoing debate on whether my breasts have grown larger or not--hard to say, honestly. Maybe, maybe not. And last night I noticed that my belly button seemed to have changed shape...maybe. Again, without any "before" pictures to compare it to, Greg and I are having a hard time being definitive about any of the more subtle changes that may (or may not) have taken place thus far.

In all honestly, though, I'll take it. It hasn't been a "hard" first trimester by any means. The hardest part has been the worry that Greg and I have brought on ourselves, so, for that, we will consider ourselves lucky. And seeing that it is now approaching the 7:00 hour, I must prepare myself for bed...only half-joking, by the way.
