Our first ultrasound

We had our first ultrasound yesterday! We got to see the baby and the heartbeat. It was 150 beats per minute. The doctor said everything looks fine so far. Our next appointment is in 4 weeks.

The doctor confirmed my due date - May 28, 2008 from the size of the baby. So that means I'm 7 and 1/2 weeks pregnant.

Kiss the baby....

Sophia actually gives my belly kisses. It's adorable! And when I ask her if she's going to be a big sister she nods her head and smiles. I'm sure she really doesn't understand what's going to happen, but it's fun to watch her think she knows.

She's going to be an excellent big sister. She takes wonderful care of her baby dolls and makes sure they have blankets, bottles and sometimes even a paci.

Nauseous all the time

Tomorrow I will be 7 weeks pregnant and for the last week I've been getting nauseous. It started out just in the evenings around 5:00 and if I ate a snack or dinner it went away. However, for the last few days this nauseous feeling has been lasting ALL DAY! I haven't actually gotten sick at all, I just completely feel awful.

I didn't have this problem at all with Sophia. In fact, I had the perfect pregnancy with her.

Hmmm....does that mean I'm having a boy this time?

Ginger ale doesn't seem to work. I just got some Preggie Pop Drops which are a sour hard sugar candies. These seem to work quickly to relieve the nausea, but the remedy doesn't last very long.

I just read online to try eating dill pickles and drinking lemonade. Hopefully this will help.
