8 weeks

I made it through a 20 hour in 4 day work week and managed not to get sick at work. I had to tell my boss this week as the morning sickness was starting to really get to me and I need to be kept on afternoon shifts till I get it totally under control. I called up the nurses at my obgyn and they suggested I start on B6 and unisom :) sooo here's hoping it works! I started the b6 saturday and it takes a bit of the edge off, but hopefully the unisom will help me sleep through the night instead of waking up nauseous a few times a night. I have still thankfully been able to eat well and keep it all down, just REALLY uncomfortable and have to lay down most mornings. and nights. But I feel so so blessed, because it reassures me that this tiny babe is still growing and that this miracle is really happening. Also, I have been able to have work to take my mind off it, I have had manageable symptoms and have been able to continue to care for my sweet boy every day (even if that means 2 hours of screen time during mommy's bad part of the day since he has mostly given up naps).

I currently DESPISE sugary sweet anything haha honey and dark chocolate and plain vanilla ice cream are still Kind of ok. but like m&ms, jelly beans, and my prenatal gummies make me gag. Basically I become even MORE picky while pregnant. I also can't stand my toothpaste. I eat apples after most foods because it helps get rid of the taste in my mouth. thank goodness for apples. Also I ate one of those frozen burritos yesterday and loved it. I am pretty sure I haven't had one of those since I was a teenager. Cravings are weird.

I told my sweet boy that I needed to lay down cause I wasn't feeling well the other day and he said "Baby tummy?" which was 100% accurate. growing a tiny human is lots of work, but the best kind of work. He also says the baby is a girl, but he wants it to be a boy, and that he also has a baby in his tummy too ;)

I am getting so excited for our first appointment! it is in just over a week from now :) We get to see one of my favorite doctors, who is a family friend. I always try to go to him for our big appointments. This week will be nice, not too many hours at work so hopefully I can finish up my application to school! Being in school is actually really nice once you hit that third trimester since it makes it so you don't have as much time to stress out.
