How babies soothe your soul

I couldn't sleep the other night around 2:30 in the morning, so I decided to browse through facebook. It has been a long time since I plowed through that site. I spent hours on there in college, back in the day when it was only open to college students who were most likely trying to find productive ways to not study. Although I didn't get far, thanks to our slow computer that froze, I was on there long enough for my morning sickness to make its first visit. (In the middle of the night, really?) After what I experienced the first time around, I was sure that I would have no morning sickness at all this time. Hmm... I guess not. I decided to go back to bed, in hopes that sleep would help, but on the way, I wanted to check in on my sweet little girl. Turns out I accidentally (maybe?) woke her up and felt the need to rock her, although I think it was more for my benefit. It's amazing what a little girl laying on your chest can do for your morning sickness.

I guess if I end up with another perfect child the second time, I will go through the morning sickness again. I guess.

365 days of brilliance

When you are in high school you are all tied up in what you will wear everyday, or at least I was. I carefully planned out my outfits to make sure I wore a variety of clothes, but whatever I did, I always felt like I was repeating my wardrobe. That's when my friend Susan and I came up with a brilliant idea. Of course we remembered what we wore everyday, but how much do other people? We decided for a week, we would wear the same bright yellow shirt over and over. (Of course with washings, in between.) We waited for the comments, but we really didn't get any. It wasn't even until the 4th day that my boyfriend at the time asked, "Didn't you wear that yesterday?" I was thinking, "Yes, and the day before that, and the day before that."

Now, this girl is absolutely amazing! She has vowed to wear the same dress for 365, which may seem difficult, but she definitely has the style to pull it off. If you don't look closely, you can't even tell she was repeating her outfits. Even better, she is doing it to raise money for a foundation close to her heart.
