Mourning & Sickness

I'm experiencing really bad morning sickness with this second pregnancy. It was bad with Maddy but this time it's even worse! I really hope that it'll all end soon. I've been feeling sick since Christmas. Blegh. Literally.

On a separate and sad note. A really good friend of mine is going through a miscarriage and my heart just goes out to her and her husband. To my dear friend, thanks for confiding in me and for sharing your heart with me. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope that I can be there for you whenever you need me and I hope that I'm able to help - somehow.

Santa is one scary dude.

Today I took Madeleine to visit Santa. My view on Santa is that he's just another character of the holiday like Frosty and Rudolph. So off we went to the North Pole (um, Yorkdale Mall). While standing in the line-up, Maddy was like "ooo, ooo!" - Um, I'm guessing that she didn't see him. The moment she saw Santa, face-to-face, she freaked out. Literally. The pictures tell the entire story. The "elf" was trying to coax her as well but Maddy brushed that off. There was a brief moment where she stared at the camera (while I was holding a chocolate candy) and snap. But if you look closely, you can see the tears in her eyes. HAHAHAHA. Ahhhh it was so funny.
