Hello Nausea

We've made some purchases since we've learned about our pending arrival, but so far they've been limited to some maternity clothing items for Tam, and some books to help us make sure we're doing what we're supposed to. And "Preggie Pops." The name may be cute, but these little candies have been life savers against all-day sickness. No, not morning sickness. That would imply that it leaves at some point. Instead, it's been more or less constant for the last week. Well-wishing friends all swear that it will be gone after the first trimester.

Yay.

Only six-ish more weeks of it to go. Blargh.

On a more pleasant, and less queasy note, our baby has received her (or his) first goodies. Nate, Daisie, and Joshua came by last weekend to help us celebrate Fathers' Day (their first, as well), and they brought some adorable outfits and a very cute blanket.

And Annette gave us our baby's first teddy bear!

It turns out that baby stuff is all very soft and very cute. As such (the soft cuddly part), we're going to have to make sure to keep it away from Misha, who loves to unstuff soft plush things.
