| Starting the Seventh Week Sunday, October 19, 2003 Our Three Month Anniversary This week, little Boo will be making some major changes. He/she will double in size to eight millimeters. The heart, brain, and limbs have developed. Ribs have developed by the end of this week, as well as the beginnings of muscles! I've made an important discovery! Taking prenatal vitamins in the morning makes Jen very sick. I will have to start taking them at night, when I'll sleep through the nausea. I'm almost looking forward to next week, when I can try out this method...wish me luck. Today I was had the "morning" sickness all day pretty much. Stayed on the couch and watched Jessica Simpson and Nick's "Newlywed" episodes that I had missed. Also caught lots of Real World Challenge action and Camp Jim (which disturbs me). Boobs still hurting. Just thought I'd report that. Aunt Snooky emailed me about using Ginger Snaps to help with nausea. I tried it. It helped somewhat (will try it again later this week). Thanks Aunt Snook! I also want to buy some Sea Bands, as I've heard that helps. Nausea is SUPPOSED to stop around Week 12, so I'm looking forward to that. I'll tell you one thing--I really haven't done the whole "peeing a lot" thing. Maybe a little more, but nothing to "write home about." Mom and Dad have announced that they are buying little Boo a baby bed! Even though it's early, we all went looking at beds at Toys R Us, STorkland, and Target for some ideas...that was fun, though I got tired. Chris had a dream that we were having a boy last night. I dreamed about a "Jacob." HOWEVER, the old string test I have taken always shows a girl first, then a boy...if you don't know what the string test is, it's an old wives tale thing. Chris is starting his own take on this whole pregnancy thing. I will put his journal up as soon as the first entry is written. Later! last next |
