I get it at night. This is what I do most nights. I feel bad
most of the day, but really bad in the evening. I stopped working last week. I
have noticed stress makes it worse.
Last Friday Nate and I went in for an ultrasound. I think I was really
scared. The last time we went in for an ultrasound was the day we found out we
miscarried back in October. Last Friday I felt so sick. I thought I was going
to pass out. I felt so sick and scared.
I was freezing cold and shaking. When she finally tuned the monitor so
that I could see our little half cheerio I calmed down right away. It was 9mm
long. It had a heart beat and the uterine wall was thick as it should be.
I just said, “Hi little guy”. I felt happy and calm. Nate
kept saying, “That was really good. That was good”. Our last baby didn’t grow past 5 weeks and a few days. So
this one has made it past the first scary benchmark. I will still be worried… I
think the whole pregnancy. It is almost like I don’t want to get my hopes up
too much. I have dreams at night where I have miscarried. If I have a good day
where I don’t feel as sick … I get worried… and I wonder if I am still
pregnant.
About the sick part… maybe subconsciously I feel sick so I
can convince my self all is well… but consciously I am doing every thing in my
power to feel better. I have been wearing sea-bands since last week. They sort
of cut off my circulation and weaken my grip, but they are supposed to help. I
have a needle near my clavicle from acupuncture. I eat crackers in the
morning…. and all day. I am doing anything that people say will make me feel
better… except for eating well. I can’t stomach it. My favorite foods make me
sick…
Hopefully baby grows and in a few months Nate and I will
have a cute fat baby to share with the world.

YEAH for fat babies!!! You are in my prayers and any baby is blessed to have you as their mother.
Tanya, I love your blog...love it. I didn't know you were expecting, I will be thinking about you and sending good thoughts your way. Just hang in there, Nate sounds like a great guy, I'm so glad you found each other!
I'm so happy for you guys!!! I hope your morning sickness goes away soon and you can feel better! We'll be praying for you and the babe!
YAYAYAYAYAY!!! Congrats! FYI: I drank LOTS of ginger beer during my pregnancy to help with the morning sickness. However, I still threw up anyways. It should pass tho after the first trimester. Mine did at least. And I craved lots of Mexican coke (because it didn't have the corn syrup and tasted better)
