8 weeks

So yesterday was my first day of true full blown morning sickness. I threw up twice. It was nasty. Im hoping I ate soon enough this morning to avoid at least chucking, I usually have that problem when I don't eat soon enough. I tried the crackers in bed, so my stomach would settle before I hopped out of bed.

On the plus side, women with morning sickness are less likely to miscarry, so I say, bring on the barfing. Im glad that my symptoms are getting stronger, because I had a bout of light spotting a couple weeks ago that scared the crap outta me. All is well, Im so relieved it wasn't anything serious.

Tomorrow is Medicaid day. I meet with my caseworker to set up some sort of coverage. Im so relieved about that as well. We plan on using it until Seans insurance with any new job he gets starts to cover me. Things are slowly working out, thank God.

This pregnancy has been getting more and more real. I think its because Im already starting to show at 8 weeks. Also, the sickness hitting me makes it more real as well. Im really excited for the 1st trimester to be over, I want to show more and then feel the baby. I want to hear the heartbeat. I know the baby is okay, I just want to see the heartbeat really badly. With this coverage Im sure that will be sooner rather than later.

Oh and I just got back from the clinic. I took the pregnancy test and the test line showed up before the control line. Awesome. :)
