Yup, there were a few things I had forgotten about being pregnant. Now I remember. Starting Saturday, my nausea is back in full swing. It started a little bit later than last time so I was hoping maybe I'd get lucky and get out of it. But no such luck! I had called Dr. Lown's office to see if they'd write me a prescription for the Zofran but now they won't prescribe it in the first trimester due to some new studies pointing to the fact that it may actually cause birth defects. Well, I'm glad not to cause you any troubles but that stuff saved my life a few times. I'm not looking forward to trudging through (potentially) three months of barfy feelings without it.
I'm on day four of frequent snacking. Forcing yourself to eat while you are feeling crummy is super hard to do. I remember this feeling as well, now. But I'm managing. Today feels especially bad, but I'm sure I'll survive. I do have a dentist appointment though, we'll see how that goes.
My official prediction to whether or not you are a boy or girl is in, though. I've known quite a few people who have either had similar pregnancy symptoms (ie. sickness) and a few that have had differing ones. The bulk of the ones I've found point to: similar symptoms = same sex. I haven't been able to ask too many people because we aren't telling a lot of people about you yet, but the few that I know this to be true... Kylie Turner (girl - not sick, boy - sick), Jessica Bollaert (girl - not sick, boy - sick), Grandma Patti (two girls - not sick either time). Aunt Kristin's friend Amber (girl - sick, boy - not sick... I think). The odds are pointing to the fact that since you are treating the same as your big sister, that you are, in fact, a little sister. But hey, we'll see! I'll be excited to meet you either way!
Grow safely in there!
Love, Mommy
