Goodbye All-Day Sickness!! So, the wives tales say that if you're having a boy, you'll have no morning sickness and if you're having a girl, it will suck the beauty right out of you and you'll be sick all the time. I'm not quite sure what category that puts me in because after a straight two weeks of praying to the porcelain God, my all-day sickness
disappeared!! Literally, I woke up last Thursday and felt amazing! I could have run a marathon...okay so that's pushing it a bit...but I really did feel wonderful and I've had so much energy! I now can enter my workplace without the usual, "Wow, you're not feeling that well today are you?" I noticed myself applying makeup like a MAC makeup artist to cover up the greenish glow on my face for that two weeks!
All is fabulous with The Bump and a lot has happened in it's little life this week! Since June 25
th, The Bump has grown from a mere 1.06 cm to nearly an inch. And low and behold the
embryonic "tail" is completely gone! Hallelujah! (Forgive me, but every time I read about the tail, images of the movie "Shallow Hal" flash in my mind. For those of you who have seen the movie, you know exactly what part I'm talking about!) The eyelids have formed and fused shut and will not open until 27 weeks and by this week's end, the inner workings of the ears will be complete. We've got the belly headphones ready with a little Jack Johnson, some
Xtina and maybe even a play-by-play of Texas kicking some
USC booty Natl Championship game!! All of the major joints-shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees & ankles-are working and The Bump is fully able to move its limbs.
It's vacation time for the Channel household and Matt and I will be leaving for Texas tomorrow morning to introduce The Bump to the rest of the family and of course, delight The Bump with it's first taste of Matt's favorite, the BBQ House!!
