Wonder & Morning Sickness

The ultrasound went well! Hooray! Everything looks as it should, is appropriately sized, etc. for how far along I am (7 weeks). It is very exciting to feel like it's all going to be okay.

During the ultrasound we could see the baby's tiny heart beating. It is wonderful, awesome, and weird all at the same time to see this fluttering that indicates life inside a being as tiny as a blueberry (soon to be the size of a raspberry!). It's hard to imagine how precisely and wonderfully we humans are made. Each tiny cell put in just the right place at the right time to bring life. Wow, God, You done good. ;)

The past few days I've had really bad morning sickness that has been lasting most of the day. I'm not sure what happened... I was feeling fine up until recently! I guess week 7 is the "special" week for me. I haven't actually thrown up yet but have felt very close a couple of times! Trying to avoid spicy, greasy, weird, or slimy foods in an effort to get my palette to calm down. Ugh.

Anyone have any good ideas to help?

The one thing I've found that does tend to help in most circumstances are the B-Natal hard candies (vitamin B6). I'm not sure if it's the vitamin itself or the action of sucking on a hard candy that helps. Regardless, I'm glad I bought some way back when and stashed them in my drawer at work!
