First official baby appointment on the 17th!
So far I have gotten the blood work done and it seems a whole bunch of other unfamiliar tests (i have never even gotten a shot or blood taken before now! aka never been hospitalized lol) and are just waiting till our appointment to find out the exact due date of the baby. We are very excited to find out! We feel it will come early september. Possibly on my sister's or my grandma's birthday!
Also, I recently heard about the old wives tale of the hair/ wedding ring test. Apparently, you take a piece of your own hair and put it through your wedding ring and dangle it over your stomach to find out the sex of the baby. If it dangles in a line then it's a boy. If it dangle's in a circle, then it's a girl. I tried the test and guess what it said... it's a boy!! Eric and I have felt it's a boy with like this weird severe surety for a few weeks. Don't ask lol. We just know haha. We are excited for (we think lol) Ethan to develop further! Apparently he is no bigger than an inch right now.
Aside from all this, this week has been my first week of nausea and until today, it has not been too bad. However, today, I awoke at 5 am feeling like I had dehydration cramps and severe nauseousness and this lasted all day long until this afternoon!
ps. any mom advice from those of you who are mommies already.. feel free to dish it out on me because this is our first! lol

Vitamin B6 every night with of course prenatals. Take prenatals at night because they tend to make you feel crappier than you already do. Ruth told me about B6 and it did wonders for me. If it doesn't seem to be working well them you can pair it with a half or whole Unisom, but be aware that it is a sleep aid and it will make you tired. It is okay to take. Ruth told me that her doctor about it. Also I really like over the counter prenatals from Walmart called "One Source" (In a pink bottle). I like them because they are smaller than prescription prenatals and easier to take. And one bottle will last most of your pregnancy. If you have any questions just ask.

Also you might want to make your font larger. it's kind of hard to read. kind of straining on the eyes.
all of this baby stuff is so exciting for you. can't wait to the about your due date, gender, etc. i second what wendi said--unisom and b6 really helped me out during both pregnancies. i have heard that eating small, frequent meals and snacks helps, but sometimes you just don't feel like eating when you are sick. when i felt especially sick in the mornings i would have tyler bring me breakfast (oatmeal) before i got out of bed so it would settle my stomach a little bit. keep us posted on how you are doing! congratulations.
