Update on my Life

I don't normally write about my personal life. But I figure while I'm not doing my usual makeup posts, I'll give you all an update on how I'm doing and what's going on.
I am pregnant with my second child, and I am suffering from HG (see my post HERE). I still have another few months to go, and we're getting more and more excited every day.
These days, I've been feeling a little better. The first five months of this pregnancy were the worst, but I'm now past it. Unfortunately HG is not something that just goes away, even if you feel better. That means I am still bed-ridden for the most part, and can't do anything that requires even the slightest bit of effort. For me, feeling better means I have stopped throwing up as much and I am beginning to gain some weight.
I recently found out that it is possible that HG is an allergic reaction to the pregnancy hormone. It was reassuring to me, knowing that research is being done on this extreme condition and hopefully, more awareness will be spread.

In other news, my son just turned two! 

He is getting cuter and cuter by the day. He brings me such joy, thank god he is a very happy and easygoing toddler. Today, he told me: "Spiders not scary." I disagree completely.

I plan to return to blogging after my baby is born and I'm feeling better. HG requires a long recovery time period, but I will hopefully be able to do some makeup posts in the next few months.
