gin gin makes jen grin

After trying a little bit of everything to feel better, Jen has found that Gin-Gin candies from the World Market seem to help her nausea. They are billed as the “Double Strength Ginger Hardcandy.”

We had read in the information the Doctor gave us that peppermint and ginger could help with an upset stomach, and it looks like we have a winner. This was great news, as the Metoclopram the Dr. prescribed seemed to help, but also made her very tired. You can visit the good folks who make Gin Gin at gingerpeople.com

7 weeks down, 33 more to go.

So, we went to the doctor(Dr. Richmond) yesterday for the initial exam and to just talk to him about all that is happening with us right now. Everything was completely normal he went over the blood work that I had done a few days prior; I now know that I do not have AIDS or gonorrhea, and that I have a B+ blood type.

As for how I’m feeling right now; I am having a lot of nausea as of the last several days and I am sooo exhausted lately, I sleep all the time. I am trying to get something for the nausea from the Dr. and have just been napping a lot. I also got on Yahoo questions today and just asked if anyone had any tips for just dealing with the symptoms and I got a lot of great responses from all the women on different things to do to help with my changing body. We are so excited about the baby! I cant wait to see what he/she may look like, its getting more real everyday.
