I'm trying to not freak out - we went to my parents house yesterday and not once did I have the urge to run from the room sick. That's not been typical of late. Typical has been: walk into the kitchen and immediately start heaving (sorry - but I've been sick). I might feel decent for the first couple of hours that I'm awake, but for the most part I'm sick all day.
Tuesday I was so sick I ended up leaving work 1:00 (thankfully we had an "early dismissal" in preparation for the holiday so I left when everyone was allowed to leave), took a Phenergan, put all my kids down for naps and I laid down. I woke up at 5p.m. when my husband sat down on the side of the bed. Annie was just starting to wake up, Nin was asleep and Elizabeth had been sitting on the sofa playing with her Leap Pad. I felt pretty nasty the rest of the night.
I woke up Wednesday and actually wanted a cup of coffee (had some decaf so I fixed a 4-cup pot - which I had to share with Nin *and* Annie). I was a little on the hungry side, but not starving. We left our house at about 10:25 and I was craving a McDonald's sausage biscuit with pickles and mustard. No, they don't normally come that way - and usually I can only get a mustard packet to go with it; however, if I tell them I'm pregnant and it's close to change-over, they're usually happy to give me a few pickles to go with it. (can you tell I've done this a few times before?)
We went to Mom & Dad's and I was fine all day. Not sleepy, not sick feeling. I'm just now 7 weeks. Morning sickness lasted barely two weeks. I know enough to know that's not a great sign. It doesn't necessarily mean a miscarriage is coming but part of me keeps waiting for the other shoe to drop. July 26 can't get here quickly enough...I desperately need to see a heartbeat and know everything is okay in there.

oh Gina, I will be praying for you. Not only that the other shoe won't drop but also that this is just a sign of a relatively easy pregnancy for you, which you so desperately deserve. Hugs mama!!!!
You've been around this block enough to go that symptoms can come and go without dire results. But *I've* been around this block enough times to know that there's no convincing a pregnant woman that everything's OK until she can see it with her own eyes! Big hugs to you, Gina... I'll be waiting anxiously for July 26 and good news right along with you!
The above comments said all I wanted to & more! BIG ((hugs)) and prayers to you, hopefully July 26th will be here before you know it!!
Ditto all of the above too! Hang in there, Gina. I'll be praying too.
Praying for you, Gina! I pray all is well with that little one! I know you well enough to know that you and Brad are trusting in God and His plans and purposes, but it still can make your mind a little uneasy not knowing...and hoping...I'm there praying and hoping with you!!!
