7 weeks, 6 days

Morning sickness is getting old! Nothing appeals to me at all right now! Oh, and guess what? I am already getting up to go to the bathroom at least once per night, and I am not sleeping very well. Just a few more weeks until the morning sickness subsides, hopefully. It's more dry heaving than anything else, but it's getting really annoying.

We are still trying to keep this a secret, but a few people have found out. It's mostly my virtual friends from BZ (Aidan's board and my new DDC), but a few people in real life know as well.

I still can't decide if I want to know the gender. Chris wants to find out, but I think it might be fun to wait. We'll see!

Well, I would say that morning sickness is upon me. I ended up with a sinus infection last week, and it was so severe that I had to head to the doctor for medicine. The Keflex did wonders immediately--I could breathe within hours of taking it!

The morning sickness began on my birthday, which was Sunday. The only people that know we are expecting is Chris, me, and my doctors. I have my first appointment on Tuesday, Oct. 19. We will get to see gummy bear then, and I will have my first check-up. I'm a bit nervous about everyone's reactions. Chris is scared his parents will not be happy. I know my family will be happy, but I understand his concern.

I dry heaved for the first time this morning, and I feel pretty crummy. I hate the first trimester for this reason. I am calling this child gummy bear because gummy bears make me feel better right now. And it's not just any kind of gummy bears--it has to be the Haribo brand!
