Falling Apart

I feel like I am falling apart.  Poor Baby Girl T is along for a wild ride of sickness that has attacked me.  It started with food poisoning (worst sickness I have ever had hands down) and after 2 days of rest I still can barely eat and went back to teaching 7th graders all day and now my throat is super sore and as Zach so politely put it, I sound like I've smoked several packs today.  What the heck?  When I'm pregnant I eat better, I take vitamins daily, and I generally am more careful about what I am doing and what I'm putting into my body.  So why is that I get so flippin' sick?  Not cool, not cool at all.  The next two days are jam packed and I can only hope I at least keep my voice through it all.  Hang in there little lady, mommy really is doing everything she can.

Pink

I'm excited to have a girl.  I like to wear pink a lot myself.  But I'm second guessing how pink everything really is.  My master plan was to not have to paint the nursery.  It's currently a nice shade of light pink - not too bold, not too gross.  I ordered bedding that appeared to be light pink online but is a little more pink than I expected.  I'm not sure why but I'm not loving it.  I like parts of it but I'm afraid of it looking like pink just threw up all over her room when I'm done.  Not quite the look I'm going for.  The crib is a dark stain so the slightly brighter pink may be okay.  Or maybe we should make the walls more neutral to balance out the bedding?  Or maybe I should just pick another bedding?  Hmm.  Here's the bedding set we just got.  Looks nice in this photo so maybe it'll be better when I get it in the room.  Or when I finally get the nursery together there may be a different bedding set all together.
