6 Weeks 2 days.  No vomiting.  Spent three hours being moderately nauseated.  Nauseated 3 times.  felt better after the zofran kicked in.  Told people in church that we were expecting, mostly just to give them an official heads up because Daniel has been telling people 'we are gonna have a new baby"  Realized today that I have alot of anxiety about nausea and eating.  Even though I have not been very sick this pregnancy, I am amazed at the amount of anxiety caused by past pregnancies.  For instance, I have anxiety about moving in the morning.  Last pregnancy any movement on an empty belly meant instant vomiting.  So I would take a zofran and an ensure in the morning 30 minutes before I had to get up then Carl would bring me cereal in bed and I could start my day.  Now i lay there, dreading the idea of moving, not knowing if a sudden bout of nausea is going to send me to the bathroom or not. . .  it is so silly to STILL be living with that anxiety even though I am not that sick!!!  I guess it is just crazy how much the body remembers.

Food is still really the key. . .I feel like I have to eat CONSTANTLY to keep from feeling sick.  I feel so stuffed and bloated.  I feel huge already . . . I am totally ok with the idea of not getting HG like with previous pregnancies.  But if that is the case, I am gonna have to watch what I eat.  I feel like I have already gained 20 lbs.  Today I had: bowl of cereal, 2 croissants, juice, carnation instant breakfast, Jimmy Dean egg Mcmuffin/sausauge type sandwich, half a PB and J, breadstick, chicken, rice and green beans, roll.  I;m sure that is WAY more than my needed calories, but i gotta do what I gotta do to stay on top of this morning sickness stuff- to beat the cycle before it beats me. . .
