Goodbye morning sickness??

I really hope I'm not speaking too soon but after 7 weeks of being really sick with morning sickness that lasted all day, I think it may be easing up! Thank the Lord!  I only threw up once Thursday and not at all Friday!  Today, hasn't been quite as event free.  I got sick shortly after lunch and I've been really nauseated all day long with a pretty bad headache on top of it.  I've taken Tylenol and tried cold packs and naps but it's still there.  My pregnancy book says to expect more headaches this trimester so I guess it's nothing unusual.  Still, it's a huge improvement from throwing up 4-5 times a day so I'll take it! :)

We had another OB appointment Thursday.  We didn't end up hearing the baby's heartbeat yet but we knew it was still early for that so we weren't too disappointed.  We were pleasantly surprised though when she said she was going to do another quick ultrasound to take a look at the baby.  It was a small portable machine this time and it didn't print so we don't have new pictures but we got to see the baby very clearly on the screen.  I could definitely tell the baby has grown and it's little spine was more defined.  It was sleeping at first, positioned on it's side again like last time.  Then, it kicked it's little leg out and flipped over on it's back!!  It was so awesome!  This was our first time seeing a profile view and it was so cute!  Once it was on it's back, it kept moving it's little arms and legs after that and our doctor said it was dancing for us.  I can't tell you how happy and excited we were!  Lewis is the sweetest father-to-be and has been so interested in every detail about our baby's development.  I think seeing it moving around made it as real for him as it did for me when I saw it the first time.  Nothing I've ever seen or experienced compares.  Everyone keeps telling us that this is really only the beginning and I know that's true.  We are on cloud 9 and so excited for all the amazing things to come!!!
