Tomorrow, however, we are heading to the Worldview Super Conference III, and we will be gone until Saturday evening. Yes, we are taking Sarah Beth and Daniel, and we think it will be so much fun staying in a hotel room with them. There will be some great speakers, and I look forward to hearing them. I also hope to get a bunch of crocheting done while I listen. Apparently, a lot of women do some kind of craft during the sessions.
As for me, I still feel pretty good, that is, until after supper. Then I feel horrible until I go to bed, and I have a hard time sleeping because I feel so badly. There are nights when I want to cry as I stand in front of the sink, contemplating the absolutely dreaded task of brushing my teeth. Do I have to brush my teeth before bed? Isn't there any other way? Hopefully, all of this will go away soon with the end of my first trimester next week.
I pulled up all of my old squash and corn plants yesterday, and I planted new seeds today. I have it on good authority (my mother who doesn't just have a green thumb, but a green hand) that we have time for another crop before cold weather hits. Hopefully, I will feel good enough with this crop to get some frozen for the winter.
I really want to plant some strawberries, and I think the fall is the right time for them. Do you know?
I hope you have a good weekend. I hope we have a good weekend.

I have to admit that I'm a little jealous that you're getting to go to the conference. I really, really wanted to go, but it's just bad timing for us. Maybe next time. Have fun!!
The conference sounds really interesting. I'd be taking my kids too. We always had a lot of fun staying in hotels when our kids were little; even a trip to the ice machine was a big deal to them then :)
I'm so sorry you're feeling so poorly. I totally (and I mean totally) know how you're feeling about brushing your teeth while sick. It used to make me throw-up during my last pregnancy, not to mention I couldn't even use toothpaste. I finally resorted to using baking soda, but it still was a great trial. I absolutely dreaded it.
I'm definitely jealous of your planting more than once. Our Oregon rain prevents us from doing so.
Have a great time on your trip! I'll pray for safety in your travels, and maybe a little bit of relief from the evening sickness. Take care.
I also understand about the tooth brushing with "morning" sickness. Have you tried brushing with just a wet toothbrush and swishing water afterward in the evenings? Can you tolerate brushing right before eating supper? Colgate Total keeps your teeth protected for up to 12 hours even if you eat. That might get you through until morning.
I hope and pray you'll feel better soon!
Wow, I'd never even thought about the teeth brushing thing. Thankfully that has not been an issue for me.
I liked your description of your mom having a "green hand." Too bad she doesn't still have all the day lilies so you could post a pic of them.
Dear Nikki - you have all my sympathy. I remember the "I'm going to gag if I brush my teeth" internal dialogue, from both my pregnancies.
I am glad you are getting away for a bit - hope you enjoy the time!
The brushing the teeth thing brings back memories! My morning sickness was from 11pm until 5am everyday! Hope you feeel better soon! You can strawberries in the fall or spring! Check out youe local extension service for better advice on your specific area.
Blessings!!!!
