I know that I have done a very poor job at posting these last few weeks. The truth is that I don't really know what to write about. I am trying my best to stay calm and to not get overly excited or scared. I try to push any thoughts (and therefore, post ideas!) that fall in these categories out of my mind. I don't want to get too excited and just get let down, but I don't want to get too scared and plague myself with negativity.
We are in "wait and see" mode. My next ultrasound is tomorrow afternoon. I am very anxious to see what is going on in this belly of mine!
As for the spotting, it's pretty much stopped. Monday morning was the last time I had any, and it was a very SMALL amount. If I didn't put my toilet paper under a microscope every time I wipe, I may have missed it. It is so nice to not have spotting! It so unnerving to see.
I continue to feel pretty bad in the afternoons and evenings. It doesn't matter how much I snack after lunch, by 3:00 or 3:30, I am very nauseous. It pretty much continues all night long. Fortunately, I am able to fall asleep. And I usually wake up feeling pretty normal. The sharp pains in my right ovary are pretty much gone and I haven't had a backache in awhile either. My boobs and nipples are still pretty sore. I still feel like a pig from stuffing so much food down my throat all day. I just get sick of eating. But then I know that eating is what is going to make me feel better. I have learned that things that are crunchy with cheese or cheese flavoring (mac and cheese, cheese slices, nachos, cheetos, cheese its, etc.) seem to hit the spot when I feel nauseous. Graham crackers seem to work pretty well too!

I am glad that everything going on with your seems to be very positive. You are most definitely in my thoughts & I can't wait to see pics of your lil' one tomorrow after your u/s!!! I hope everything goes well tomorrow & you are able to celebrate your first 8 week milemarker!!!
Im glad the spotting stopped. I hope everything goes GREAT at your appointment tomorrow.
Regarding your "crunchy" and "cheesy" food needs.....I'm not a baby doctor and don't claim to have any expertise in the pregnant female/baby arena, but perhaps this is what people are referring to when they describe "pregnancy cravings"?? :)
P.S. It looked like a gummy bear!
