Mood: Good
Cravings: sushi
Morning sickness?: a little
As of yesterday I am seven weeks along. The pregnancy calendars I look at (maybe a little too much) say the baby is now about the size of a tic-tac (or a 1/4 of an inch long from crown to rump). Also, the baby is deciding whether to be a boy or girl at this point - but the sex of the baby won't be noticeable until I'm about 18-20 weeks along. ((I'll be honest, I think it's a girl.))
Yesterday was also my official day to experience full-blown morning sickness. Granted, I had a headache so I'm sure that played into the sickness. But Rob making coffee really played a number on my senses too. And on normal days I LOVE the smell of freshly-made coffee.
After loosing my accounts via the bathroom sink (something about hunching over a toilet made me feel all the sicker) I nibbled on saltine crackers, sipped a minute amount of ginger ale and promptly napped in the chair in the living room for awhile.
After my nap I ate half a banana and realized that the sickness had passed. But I was so tired I napped some more. And when I woke up I ate the remainder of my banana and a small slice of Tombstone pizza. Thankfully, I held it down.
I was such a bum yesterday.
But now I'm back at work on Monday and feeling okay. I still feel moments of "Crap, I am gonna puke into my trashcan." at work but it's not near as bad as yesterday. And if I had my druthers and had to choose which way I would rather get sick, it would definitely be in the privacy of my own home versus embarassing myself at work.
And on top of developing this morning sickness, I have had Rob literally by my side. He was supposed to go fishing yesterday but ended up not going because I had the heeby-geebies. He stayed by my side, looked after me and was such a relief to have around. It's hard to put in words how Rob's presence alone was almost enough to make me feel better. So if there's more sick moments to come, I have no doubt that Rob will be my complete support.
And on a happy note, I can fulfill my craving for sushi. YAY! I researched and found that the general consensus is that I can enjoy lots of sushi, i just can't eat but a few servings out of a month so that I don't consume too much mercury. Thank you American Pregnancy Association! Their website had a detailed list of what sashimi to avoid completely during pregnancy and what I can have in moderation and how much of a serving. So tonight, Rob and I are going downtown to eat at my favorite sushi joint, Happy Sumo. And below is a picture I pulled from online which shows about what my baby looks like now.
