Week 7

Well, this week was pretty uneventful...thankfully!! The nausea really turned up a notch though, and I found it harder and harder to eat. Thinking about food made me feel sick, but not eating made me feel worse. It was really a struggle to find anything that I could even think about eating..and then often had to force myself to eat it. It was the week of the baked potato, as that was about all I could stomach. So much for my healthy, nutritious diet! A couple days before I turned 8 weeks I did have a major milestone...my first actual "sickness" (which happened to be in the evening this time!). I had gone to sleep pretty early and taken my prenatal vitamin before bed, like usual. I woke up about an hour later and got sick. I thought perhaps it was because I had not been able to eat much that day, and maybe the vitamin upset my stomach. Maybe that was true, but it turns out that was just the beginning of my time on the bathroom floor! Ah, pregnancy! The only help is knowing it is for a very good cause! : )
