7 Weeks

I think we are 7 weeks and 2 days around 7 weeks. Since we found out we were expecting I had been feeling amazing - no nausea, no headaches, no stomach trouble. What a miracle, right?

Little did I know that it was just too early to experience any "morning sickness" symptoms. At 6 weeks on the dot it began - the nausea... oh the nausea. I have been living on crackers, sprite, and the occasional cup of tomato basil soup.

Another thing that I failed to realize was that this so-called "morning sickness" is NOT limited to mornings. I have no idea why it's not called "all day and night sickness" because that's exactly what it is; at least that's what it has been for me.

Luckily, David Selby has been perfect. When he isn't fixing me something to eat that doesn't make me want to gag he just keeps saying "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry" and surprisingly, that helps a little.

The biggest help, however, is knowing that this nausea is a result of all the pregnancy hormones rushing through my body.  If feeling sick means that this bebe is developing and growing then bring on the nausea.

Thanks to babycenter.com I get a weekly update with fun pictures and absolutely mind-blowing facts about the the baby's development. I'll leave you with this week's image.
