So Happy!!

So we finally had our first OB appointment & ultrasound today...oh I've been so anxious for this day!!  Seems like it has taken so long to come!  First of all, I love my OB, she is super nice & just amazing.  My hubby came with me, & pretty much first thing the OB did the ultrasound, & we got to see baby!!  We also got to see its little heartbeat!! Oh that was so awesome! :)  I was a little sad we didn't get to hear it (she said that machine didn't do that), but it was still awesome to see it, & she said it looked like a strong 160 bpm to her. :)  Also, baby is measuring pretty much right on track...by my chart I thought it was 7 weeks 2 days, & she measured it at 7 weeks 1 day, so pretty much right there, with an official due date of December 2nd! :)  We got the little ultrasound picture!! Omg, I'm through the moon. :)  So happy. 

Nausea :(

Omg, this is sooo hard! :(  I had REALLY hoped to be one of those people who never had morning sickness or nausea, but I guess that was a high hope.  For the last week almost, I've started having full-on nausea, all throughout the day, though it's worst in the morning & at night.  And oh my goodness, it's really hard to deal with.  I've come close to crying the last couple mornings/evenings just because it makes me feel so miserable.  I've been trying all the things that I've read can help, like ginger ale, ginger tea, sucking on hard candies, eating saltines/club crackers, & yesterday I bought sea bands, which I think are helping a little.  Even with all that, you still feel it.  I never realized how hard this must be for pregnant women before.  Thankfully I'm not throwing up, but having general nausea all the time still feels awful.  The other hard thing is being crazy hungry yet having aversions to like, everything.  So you're extremely hungry but all food sounds disgusting, lol.  That has been kinda tough too.  

I feel bad for complaining, but I think nausea in particular is just something that's really hard for me to handle - I don't tolerate it very well.  I've had some rather scary experiencing throwing up while having the flu before, & so I think any time I even feel like throwing up, I'm terrified of it.  I did actually try to throw up a few times recently cuz I was feeling so bad, but it didn't work.  

I'm just really praying that this will calm down or I find some better remedies that will work.  For now just doing my best to get through my work days.  First ultrasound is on Tuesday, I can't wait!! :)
