baby is doing a headstand

the tiny tiny tiny dot on the right is the "yolk sack"

baby is the size of a kidney bean from crown to tush.

the next ultra sound will tell us if we will be having a little jack or a little jill!

much love

its the tiny miracles that count

carnation breakfast essentials, three words that make all the difference. this little cup of milk chocolate happiness is delicious and fixes the morning sickness. well at least it fixes it during the morning, the rest of the day is still an unsolved mystery.

gilmore girls + pregnancy hormones = tear fest

i cry because its funny and i cry because its sad, and no matter how much crying occurs i just keep watching!

thats all for now

all things ginger

well the nausea has set in, and its pretty constant. pleasant i know!
so we set off to find ginger, and ginger we found.
ginger brew, made from real ginger, sugar cane, and sparkling water, sounds promising right? it was DISGUSTING!
then there is the ginger ale from the Caribbean, exotic, fresh, GROSS!
also ginger chews, they are a bit more bearable.
finally the ginger lemon peel water which i have not yet been brave enough to tackle.

i have heard of some ginger pills...will definitely be seeking those out tomorrow.

for now i will stick with ice water and crackers, our sweet pea sized baby seems to like that combo!

i can also currently smell everything, and i mean everything, i am super super sleepy, and when its bed time i get extra cranky. its like all my terrible traits have been magnified 100x over!

xxoo

the date has been set...

...the doctor date that is. august 30th at 8:30a we will meet with our doctor for the first time ever!

here's to hoping we love dr. phillip williams, graduate of the university of utah 1992, completed residency at the u of u hospital 1996, fellowship at the women's hospital of texas 1997 (and yes i did pick him based on his alum).
