End of Week 7

The novelty of "morning" sickness (aka 24 hour pregnancy sickness) has definitely worn off. This weekend has been brutal. It's been difficult for me to get off the couch and I'm starting to feel sorry for myself (which could just be hormones). On top of the pregnancy sickness I've got a barky cough which I can only treat with Vicks Vaporub because I can't take any medication. I did manage to make it to a movie theater with Mark and another couple to see Watchmen and it was good to get out of the house. I had to have a three hour nap afterwards though...

I bought some motion sickness wrist bands today and I've been wearing them all afternoon. I think they're helping. I'm afraid to take them off in case they are working really well and by taking them off open up the flood gates for worse nausea.

No actual vomiting which I cant decide is a good or bad thing. I occasionally wonder if actually throwing up wouldn't make me feel better. I've gained about 2 pounds which I read is normal.

Mark has been great in supporting me - he's made dinner the last few nights and is very attentive to me while I feel sorry for myself on the couch.
