DIY PROJECTS...

First off, everyone was so sweet to comment with all sorts of ideas on how to cure my pregnancy sickness.  I guess I should clarify that pregnancy sickness can NOT be cured.  We found that the biggest things to help me get over the hump of sickness were:

 Try my hardest to sip on fluids.
Go get an IV of fluids if I'm not really succeeding at drinking fluids.
Vitamin B6 shots every couple days.

Here is a 16 week ultrasound picture of our baby!  It kind of looks like an alien.  Our midwife said, she thought she something BUT she kept saying "I'm not an ultrasound tech, so I could be totally wrong."  We had a hunch it was a girl, but now we have absolutely no idea!
Hurry up 20 week May 8th appointment so we can know our baby's gender! 

Anyways, Derek and I are slowly starting organize our apartment a little bit.  We have a lot of things for being newlyweds.  It's been interesting trying to find a spot for everything.  We love doing a lot of DIY projects together, and organizing means just that.


I think I knew we would some sort of life-changing event happen and so last November, we invested in a nicer TV stand.  It was a little beat up, so we decided to sand it down and paint it!

I LOVE bright colors.  I have so many ideas for what I would love to do with my house one day.  Lets just say, my kitchen will one day trump everyone else's.  This TV stand will be project number 2 we have worked on together as a couple.

I think that working on projects together, makes you closer than ever.  I really enjoy the time I get to spend watching my husband sand something…I think it is very manly!  I'm not really sure what he thinks of me when I sweat, with my hair pulled back in a messy pony-tail, while painting a small crevasse.  He probably dies over how attractive I look.

I'm not sure how many projects we will get in once we have our new born.  We will probably be too tired to even think of doing any projects.

Anyways, I would love to hear some of the projects you have worked on with your spouse or even with your kids.  We always love getting ideas for what we can do now and in the future together.

Thanks!
