Creating Consciousness

I would just like to take a moment to applaud all the women out there who are pregnant and are taking care of other children, especially all by themselves for most of the day. You have the strength of a thousand thoroughbreds.

I started my new babysitting job today, the 3 month old girl (the job I took before I knew I was pregnant). She is a sweet little girl, but I am still getting used to how to read the cues of a 3 month old. Her mom is already adding rice cereal to her formula, which means she is constipated all the time. They keep her in these really thick fleece onsies all day and the heat is set on 85... I can't believe she hasn't stopped breathing in the middle of the night. Bottles are a pain in the tush!! They get clogged, they make the baby swallow air, they take forever to make while the baby is screaming... seems like a whole lot of trouble. They have a Moby Wrap and a Baby Bjorn, which is cool because I wanted to try out several carriers before buying my own. The baby really likes the Moby.

My husband read online that the same magical elixir that cured my sore throat last year (1 tsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp honey in water) is really good for morning sickness. You just drink a glass before going to bed.... it reduced my sickness this morning by about 50%! And I also didn't have any nightmares last night. I swear it reduced my reflux as well, though I can't see how that would be physically possible.

My sister got another onsie (dinosaurs) at Goodwill. She got me another plain white one as well... I plan on collecting the white ones and tie-dying them! Does anyone know how to embroidery something in a way that it can still be washed in the washing machine?
