Husband of the year award

I don't know what I would do without my husband !. He has been a really big help since his leave started! He gets up with our kids, changes haileys diaper, helps bells getting dressed for SAC and makes them breakfast, just so I can sleep in a lil. I am completely useless these days! I can't keep my eyes open for more then a few hours and usually go down for a nap once the baby takes her nap!
Hubby also takes care of the dishes and other things around the house. It's a blessing having him home 24/7 ESP. Now that I can't do anything myself. He even puts up with my whiney/ bitchy attitude without complaining! I'm truly blessed with my husband <3 I am still trying to find a way to thank him for all that he does for me!!

Sticky bean is doing good so far {I guess} only a few more days till I have my next ultrasound, I am going to talk to my obgyn about prescribing me something for the constant nausea, because it's starting to take its toll on me!
I am praying that the blood clot didn't grow any bigger {I'm not hopeful that it's gone/smaller since I didn't have any bleeding since the "big scare"}

another ultrasound

i feel like everytime i go in for an ultrasound { at the clinic in Landstuhl} i get told " not to get my hopes us" to " not tell anyone because it would be too heart breaking to call everyone to inform them i lost the baby"
The baby is right on track and has a beautiful heartbeat {150bpm} but i also have an almost 2 inch big blood clot right above the baby. If that blood clot should pass soon the chances are high it will push the baby out as well { because of sticky beans location}. I hate not knowing whats going to happen!. i have another ultrasound on Monday { with my regular OB/GYN}

Also this MS is really starting to kick my A$$.... i had less then 600 calories today :( i am thinking about ordering one of those "Sea Bands" they are supposed to help with MS. Im definitely not going to take any more medicine i have a hard time swallowing the three pills i have so far, i dont need to add another one!

How's your baby measuring up this week? At a length of about half an inch right now, your baby has graduated from blueberry-sized to raspberry-sized. But weekly growth is getting a bit hard to estimate, and here's why: Growth occurs at about the rate of one millimeter each day, but that growth isn't necessarily just in height. Spurts can occur in the arms, legs, back, and other parts of your baby's body. So, big changes will be occurring every which way in the coming months.

What else is changing at 8 weeks pregnant? A close-up view of your little embryo (say cheese!) would reveal a more baby-like appearance (and thankfully, a less reptilian one). You'd see an upper lip forming, the protruding tip of that cute button nose, and tiny (and very thin) eyelids. And check out those hands and feet! Your baby's webbed fingers and toes are differentiating now, so give your baby a round of applause.

All this growing is exciting for your baby too. How do you know? His or her heart is beating at the incredible rate of 150 times per minute. (That's twice as fast as your heart beats.) Your baby's digs are growing, too. Amniotic fluid increases at a rate of about two tablespoons per week to accommodate your womb's growing tenant.
