Pregnancy Update

Just beyond 8 weeks pregnant now. The fetus has hands and tooties and his knees are starting to form. The heart is developing, so let's all pray for a strong, healthy one! And the eyes have formed eyelids. As for me, I am still experiencing nausea all day long; sometimes it is the worst in the morning and recently it has started to get bad at night, preventing me from getting a good night's sleep. I am dry-heaving a lot. Fun. Last Friday was the best I have felt in awhile - I put in a full day at work - an extra full day from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.! And then it was evident that I had pushed myself too much because I slept all day Saturday. It was Daddy Eddie's birthday yesterday and we didn't do much - had soup and leftover pasta for dinner - which is not what we typically would do for a birthday. I had aspirations of making Osso Bucco and thawed out some veal shanks but my nausea makes the thought of the smell of any sort of meat cause me to gag, literally.
