Q: Implantation bleeding is often accompanied by mild cramping, which is usually lighter than what you might expect with your period. This cramping might feel like a dull ache in your lower abdomen, or you may feel prickling, pulling, or tingling sensations. If you experience sharp pains or intense cramps and you’re not having your period, see your doctor to rule out any serious underlying causes. Breast changes are a very common sign of early pregnancy. Around the same time that you experience implantation bleeding, you might notice that your breasts feel sore, heavy, swollen, or tender to the touch. They might also look larger than usual. In addition to overall tenderness in your breasts, you may notice that your nipples are unusually sensitive to the touch. Another common symptom of early pregnancy is fatigue. You may feel extremely sleepy even after a good night’s rest, or find that you tire more quickly and easily than usual. Early pregnancy fatigue can be very severe, sometimes making it difficult for you to work or carry out other normal day-to-day activities. Although it’s called “morning sickness,” nausea and food aversions are not restricted to any one time of the day or night. While these symptoms usually set in about a month into pregnancy, you might notice them earlier.  Not everyone experiences these symptoms, so don’t rule out pregnancy just because you haven’t felt sick to your stomach. You might find that certain foods or smells trigger nausea symptoms, or that your appetite is reduced. The rapid hormone changes that you experience in early pregnancy can affect how you feel emotionally. If you’re noticing physical pregnancy symptoms, also keep an eye out for emotional and mental ones, such as:  Mood swings Unexplained sadness or crying Irritability and anxiety Difficulty concentrating The rapid changes in your body early in pregnancy can leave you feeling generally under the weather, causing symptoms like headaches, dizziness, or faintness. You may even experience a slightly elevated body temperature, which can cause you to feel like you’re fighting off the beginnings of a cold or flu.
A: Make note of light uterine cramps. Check for tender, enlarged breasts. See if you feel unusually tired. Look out for nausea, vomiting, or changes in appetite. Watch for changes in your mood. Notice headaches or dizziness.

Q: Cut your vanilla bean open with a knife. Pour 1.25 cups (300 mL) of heavy cream into a large pot. Add the split vanilla bean into the pot with the heavy cream.  You can find vanilla beans at most grocery stores or farmers markets. Using a vanilla bean in your recipe will give your cream a fresher taste. Remove your vanilla cream from the warm burner and set it on an area of the stove that isn’t hot. Set a timer for 1 hour and leave your cream mixture uncovered to sit. This will help the cream soak in the vanilla flavor. The pot will be very hot before it cools down. Keep it out of reach of children or pets.
A: Combine a split vanilla bean and heavy cream in a large pot. Turn off the heat and let the cream sit for 1 hour.

Q: with a Christmas wreath. Most people display them. A wreath symbolizes eternity or eternal life. Buy or  make a wreath made with fresh holly or sweet-smelling evergreen to hang on your front door. A wreath will make your house look welcoming to guests, and indicate to passers-by that your home has the spirit of Christmas.  If you want a wreath that lasts more than one season, make one out of felt or pinecones instead of fresh greens. You could also buy a wreath made from wire or plastic that you can use season after season. If you have small trees or bushes in your hard, consider getting a few strands of outdoor lights to put up. You can buy lights that are shaped like nets, which makes it easy to lay them over bushes, or go for a string of lights to wind around your outdoor vegetation. You could also use lights to frame your door or windows.  Consider buying decorative lights shaped like icicles to hang above your door. Some lights come with timers so they'll automatically shut off after a certain time of night. If you want to go all out, consider getting plastic or inflatable characters to place in your yard. When people drive or walk by your house, they'll stop and gaze at the pretty scene you've created. Consider the following options:  Set up a Nativity scene. You can simply set up statues of Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus, or make a more elaborate scene that includes the wise men, animals and angels. Make a Santa and reindeer scene. Buy a plastic or inflatable Santa and set him up in a sleigh. For a striking touch, add eight reindeer plus a Rudolph deer with a bright red nose. Create a fun winter scene. Buy a plastic or inflatable snowman, Grinch, or another Christmas character to set up in your yard. Inflatable snow globes have also become popular yard decorations in recent years.
A: Decorate the door Put up outdoor lights. Create an outdoor Christmas scene.

Q: Whether you’ve hired someone to model for you or you’re photographing a family member, think ahead about what you’d like your model to wear. Is this a dressy shoot, or a casual one? Keep in mind that people look best in pictures when they’re comfortable in what they’re wearing.  Consider asking your model to be ready to change into several different outfits. If you’re taking graduation photos of your daughter, for example, you may want to have pictures of her wearing her graduation dress, her favorite outfit, and her basketball uniform. Gather props to go with the different looks. Hair and makeup are also important components when it comes to creating a professional effect. Remember makeup doesn’t show up as well in photos as it does in person, so you may want your model to wear a brighter shade of lipstick or a tad more eyeliner than normal.
A:
Decide what type of "look" to give your model.
