7 weeks!

Today is 7 weeks! Last night we had an ultrasound and everything measured/looked well. We even heard/saw the heartbeat. It was great. We will go back in 2 weeks to have a follow-up ultrasound to make sure things are progressing nicely. The baby is just about the size of a blueberry right now and by 2 more weeks will be considerably bigger (the size of an olive).

I found a website that compares the size of the baby to a food

so it is easier to tell how big it is. I will try to download the pics of the ultrasound too. The morning sickness continues, but I have noticed that it is better if I have food in my stomach. So while I don't want to eat and have no desire to do so, if I do I feel a lot better. It's just hard to motivate myself to eat in the morning when I feel so sick. I ususally start with a cracker or two and then progress to a banana. I try to just nibble on stuff and eat slowly so I won't upset my stomach even more. From everything I've read, morning sickness is a good sign of a healthy pregnancy. More than 80% of women have morning sickness while pregnant and it is a very good thing, even though it's not so fun right now. :)
