Tick Tock

I just added a new link to the right - My Ticker. If you click on it, it will take you to my own personal pregnancy timeline! It updates itself daily.

Feeling a little better

I am learning how to manage the nausea. It still comes and goes, but it's directly related to hunger, so when I feel sick, I just have to go eat a big meal. It's the last thing I feel like doing, but it really does help. The nurse practitioner suggested eating raw almonds as a snack because the combination of fat and protein really stays with you. Of all the suggested morning sickness cures, this one has helped the most.

Telling the Parents, Part II

It's a little blurry,but I think you can still get the effect!

Eating...

..isn't fun anymore.

Grandparents already spoiling...

...and that's totally okay with me!

Cross-Provincial Celebrations!

Telling Justin

(Ignore the fact that I need to clean my oven)

I told Justin that the oven smelled funny and asked if he could check it. I was in the bedroom and he yelled from the kitchen, "Why is there a bun in here?" I played innocent and yelled back, "In where?"

"In the stove!" he called.

"In what?"

"In the stove."

"What is in there?"

"A bun!"

"You're telling me there's a bun in the oven?"

"Yes!"

At this point I show up at the kitchen door with my pregnancy test and say, "Yes, there is a bun in the oven."

(ovens are not stoves. there is a clear difference)

Evidence!

I actually took three tests just to be sure! Here are the second and third, taken at around 4 weeks. The positive lines are light, but they're definitely there!
