The Incredible Growing Baby

Wow. Bob, or Fishy-Bob as Mark likes to say (if you've seen Eddie Izzard, you'll get this) is 8 weeks old and is now the size of a large grape. Isn't that amazing?

Our little being is doing incredible things in there, including making me feel nauseous 14 hours a day. I wake up feeling yucky and go to bed feeling yucky. If its a good day, I have about an hour or so of respite, where I eat as much food as I can and actually enjoy it. The rest of the time I just eat food to try to stop the nausea, and to make sure Fishy-Bob is getting all the nutrients s/he needs.

I've been wearing Anti-Nausea Bands, which are supposed to be carefully placed on the nei-kuan acupoint, but as to where exactly that is on my wrist is anybody's guess. I wear them daily, but I think they're just a placebo. Or perhaps the lastest fashion accessory.

I have my first pre-natal appointment on Wednesday, so I'm looking forward to seeing my doctor again and asking her far too many questions. I also got my referral to an OB today in the mail, Dr. Cherry, and I'm supposed to meet her on April 25th. But since I'll be relaxing in Florida on the 25th, I think I'm goinjg to have to reschedule for later. Darn that trip to Florida ;)
