Beloved Flame,

Unfortunately the morning sickness will last the next six weeks. We might want to think about bathroom arrangements because I'm going to be there with you soon... My pregnancy test was positive. So I looked this up for us:

Do:

Eat small meals often
Drink fluids 1/2 hour before or after a meal, but not with meals
Drink small amounts of fluids during the day to avoid dehydration
Eat soda crackers 15 minutes before getting up in the morning
Eat whatever you feel like eating, whenever you feel you can
Ask someone else to cook for you and open the windows or turn on fans if the odor bothers you
Get plenty of rest and nap during the day
Avoid warm places (feeling hot adds to nausea)
Sniff lemons or ginger, drink lemonade, or eat watermelon to relieve nausea
Eat salty potato chips ( they have been found to settle stomachs enough to eat a meal)
Exercise

Don’ts:

Do not lie down after eating
Do not skip meals
Do not let this condition go untreated
Do not cook or eat spicy food

I found it on americanpregnancy.org/pregnanc… I hope it helps.

I was wondering... if ... you'd be alright with me being a stay at home parent? It's always been my dream honestly. I've been working on a few novels and perhaps I could get them published to help pay for things. I'll take care of the cleaning and cooking and things too.

I have things ready for dad tonight, he already has a good impression of you, so I think we're in the clear.

I love you so much,

~Kenya
