Did you know that tutlenecks are a first trimester wardrobe essential?  Yep.  As soon as that pregnancy test comes back positive, every expectant mom should head out a buy a turtle neck.  Sounds crazy?  Hear me out...

Today I had the privilege of cleaning out some "aged" food items from our refrigerator.  It didn't take long before things got pretty hairy (literally) and, as luck would have it, I had on my trusty first trimester turtle neck.  I just flipped the collar up, slipped it over my nose, as I was able to make it all the way through the baked beans! 

Then tonight, my husband had the nerve to open our garbage can.  I quickly forgave him but I also quickly put my handy turtle neck to use.  Two examples-both in one day. 

Next time you receive the good news of a friend that's expecting, don't bother with a congratulations card.   They're nice and all but, instead, go with the new trend:  Send a congratulations turtle neck!

I know I was so nauseous with my pregnancies that even things that were normally pleasant smells like coffee, or cooking food, would be over powering! Praying for you! In Him, Eva

That is sooo funny and brilliant! I have the very same issue in my first trimester. Yuck! I can even walk into the house and tell that the door to the garage is open, just by smell alone. Not much more of that first trimester stuff for you-hang in there.
