Wow, time flies when there's a weirdly parasitical creature making a home in your body, huh? This week the embryo will get to be half an inch long. Bizarre.
The good news is that, while I'm still more emotional than "normal," I now seem capable of making it through the day without tears. The bad news is that the tears have been replaced by utterly horrendous "morning" sickness. And by "morning," I mean non-stop nausea from the time I wake up until I go to bed again. So my dearth of updates here stems mainly from the fact that looking at the computer screen for too long makes me ill. (Unfortunate that I'm also trying to write a dissertation, huh?)
Anyway, I promise some good content to come soon about the how-tos of babymaking, as well, of course, as updates on the various thrills and traumas and pregnancy.
Soon. I promise.

Hi there! My name is Shannon and I found your blog through your posts at mothering.com. I wanted to say hello as a fellow Rhode Islander! Although I have not started the TTC process I am hoping to soon and would love to meet some locals. I'm looking forward to following your on your journey and maybe making a new friend in the process:)
Hey Shannon! Thanks for writing. Definitely PM me through mothering.com if you want to talk baby stuff sometime. I have learned more about the ttc process than I ever thought possible.:)
It took me all the way until this (my sixth and final) pregnancy to figure out how to use ginger for morning sickness. You need a ton of it, and the root from the produce section, not the powder from the spice section. Grate up a good two teaspoons MINIMUM and brew that up with warm water, like tea. I added a squirt of lime and a dribble of maple syrup and it really worked! Crystallized ginger helped too, but it was too expensive to be very practical.
(((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))
According to the post on MDC where I found your blog, you should be almost done with this anyway.
