I will be 8 weeks along tomorrow....I guess that counts as 2 months!
The past couple of days have been kind of slow for me, yet again, because of my feeling sick and so sleepy. I was able to get out yesterday morning, though, to preview the maternity departments in some stores. I tried on a top of two just for fun.....they are obviously swallowing me whole right now....they made me already look 8 months pregnant just because of how round they were in shape! But it was fun. I have no idea when I'll have to really delve into wearing those things. My jeans are already getting fairly tight and uncomfortable in the waist....lower waist....which is where all my current jeans are cut! But I guess low-waisted styles are better suited for pregnancy than those 1980's above-the-belly-button cuts!
After reading much info on the subject AND asking Dr. Herring on Monday about them, we went out last night and bought some Sea Bands at CVS. They are little elastic wrist bands with a plastic node at the pressure point that supposedly supresses the brain-stomach communication lines, which in turn lessens nausea. They are widely used by people who are easily motion sick as well as mothers-to-be, so I thought I'd try them. So far, they seem to be taking some of the edge off. I am not usually a believer in such far-out techniques, but since my doctor said there has been some validity to them according to many people, I figured I'd give it a shot. We'll see....
Going to bake some cookies today for Valentine's Day. That has always been one of my favorite holidays! I guess it's a mixture of the meaning of it along with the festive pinks and reds you see everywhere. And don't forget chocolate's role in this blessed day.
Before I ramble too much, I'll go.... :-)
