Yesterday marked the 7th week and for a week now morning sickness has been kicking my buttocks. There's crackers and a cup of water on my night stand that I'm reaching for before my eyes even open on some mornings. Other mornings I get up and have my cup of coffee (decaf, chill we switched) and I'm good til I get to work and have my apples and cinnamon oatmeal. There are some nights that I wake up and over and over again, and not to pee either. Travis asked me last night while we were up til after 1am cleaning the house for Chase mans 10th birthday party if my prenatal had any affect on my morning sickness?? ;) good pointSo I started thinking, could my husband be right? When I went to the doctors office three weeks ago today Vicky gave me a bunch of different kinds of prenatal and told me to see which one I liked. So about every 5 to 6 days, depending on how many are in that pack, I'm taking a different kind of prenatal vitamins. Could that be whats making me sick? The ones I took during the first week didn't make me sick, I've only been getting sick the past week, hmmmmm very suspicious. I have also heard though from two different sources, not doctors mind you, that morning sickness in some is a sign of high levels of testosterone, maybe we're having a boy?
Anyway, this week my baby boo is still hard at work; Hands and feet are emerging from developing arms and legs — although they look more like paddles at this point than the tiny, pudgy extremities. Technically, baby boo is still considered an embryo and has something of a small tail, which is an extension of her/his tailbone. The tail will disappear within a few weeks, but that's the only thing getting smaller. Baby boo has doubled in size since last week and now measures half an inch long, about the size of a blueberry. In just a few weeks maybe I'll feel those little paddles!!

The prenatal vitamins can make you nauseous, but I quit taking them and that still didn't help! I threw up every single day until I was 4 mos along. I didn't ever not feel nauseous. It was wretched!! I hope that it goes away for you sooner than that. The positive is, I didn't gain any weight until the 5th month. :) I caught up with a vengeance when I could eat again though! Big red gum really helped me and I also got on some anti-nausea medication from my doc that is used for chemo patients. It is really expensive, but your insurance might cover it, mine did. It didn't cure it, but it made it to where I could make it through the days. I'll be praying for you. I personally think the sicker you are, the cuter the kid turns out. I might be biased though. HEE HEE!!! I LOVE YOU MAMA!
