My 2 cents on Lady Gaga

I personally think Lady Gaga is pretty fascinating. She makes good pop music. I mean it's music that'll stick to your head. The type you'll sing to without even realizing you're doing so. She's pretty talented. Her demeanor and outfits in public, yeah they're a little weird, a little overboard sometimes (like her controversial meat dress at the VMA's) but I always thought it was her way of getting attention. I just think, yeah, she's "OA" a lot of times but I guess that's how she wants to stay relevant. 

This photo of her however, posted by Perez Hilton on his website is pretty darn offensive.

I am Catholic yes but I am not a devout Catholic. I don't normally get offended when there are stuff in the internet poking fun at the religion or Jesus or whatever. But I think this picture is taking things a bit too far. I've tried to think of a reason why she'd pose this way. If there was some relevant message she would like to say to people. And I just can't think of a damn good reason for her to do something like this. Freedom of expression is great but it comes with a degree of responsibility. I doubt she would ever pose in anything poking fun of the Islamic faith. How come this is ok then? A little respect for other people's beliefs shouldn't be too hard to do. There are a million other ways of catching people's attention. I just think this is taking things way too far. It's just disgusting and very pathetic on Lady Gaga's part.

There. I've said my piece. That's all I have to say about that.

Morning Sickness

Yes that's right... morning sickness. I'm pregnant. (YEY!!!) 7 weeks today to be exact. And though I couldn't be happier with the news since we have wanted to get pregnant for so long, there is one thing I'm not so happy about. The morning sickness. Which for me isn't even morning sickness. It's ALL DAY sickness. I feel sick every single moment of every day. The only time I don't feel sick is right after I vomit and then I have about 30 minutes of peace until the feeling comes back again. I'm a little bit concerned since my mom when she was pregnant with me had vomiting fits throughout her whole pregnancy and could hardly keep anything down. Thank God that's not the case for me (not yet at least!) but it seems as though everyday that goes by, the feeling gets worse and worse.

Since there's basically nothing I can do about this, I did a little research on how to at least make it a little easier for me until I get through the first trimester (which they say is usually the time when morning sickness happens, after which it eventually goes away... FINGERS CROSSED!!!). I hope this helps other pregnant women too...

• Steer clear of certain odors that may trigger your nausea.
• Keep crackers or dry toast by your bed to nibble on before getting up.
• Eat frequent small meals to keep your stomach from becoming empty.
• Drink frequent small amounts of fluids throughout the day so you don't become dehydrated.
• Avoid eating foods that are fatty, greasy, spicy, or acidic if you find that they bother you.
• Eat whatever foods you can tolerate while your stomach's upset. When you feel better later, concentrate on making your meals more well-rounded.
• If your prenatal vitamin seems to worsen your nausea, take it with food instead of on an empty stomach. Or try taking it right before bed. If this does not help, talk to your health care provider about the possibility of switching to a different vitamin

 Oh and another thing... having a husband hands on enough to help you out when you're too sick to cook or too tired to even move from bed :)
