7 weeks, 1 day...

Well, the morning sickness has kicked in in full force!  I haven't actually puked yet, but I've been on the threshold several times a day for the past couple of days.  Ugh.  I feel awful, and it's wonderful!!  I can only get by on eating small meals several times throughout the day.  I mean, very small meals, like a handful of dry cereal or one piece of toast.  The texture of many foods sends me running.  I can barely brush my teeth or take my vitamins without gagging. Fun fun!!
 
I've had a little bit more spotting, too, but I'm really trying hard to keep my panic in check.  My next ultrasound is just two days away.  Hopefully, I'll get to see that beautiful beating heart again!!
 
Well, it looks like we will be moving in the near future.  It's been in our minds for a while.  My husband has even interviewed at a couple of places.  We've just been waiting for the last straw, and I think that it happened last week.  I think that our decision has been made pretty clear.
 
So, we really liked this one practice in Pennsylvania, and they are sending the formal offer this week, so off we go!!  So I need to find a realtor to sell this house (that we moved into only one year ago), start looking at houses in PA, find a moving company, get licensure so that I can work in my new state, find a new OB, etc, etc.
 
It's funny.  With all of my energy going into this pregnancy, I don't really care about our pending move.  That's not completely true.  I care, but it pales in comparison to the pregnancy.  My heart won't break as I leave Connecticut.  My heart is already broken from the miscarriages.  And maybe getting a new start is just the perspective that I need.
 
I will miss my house, and my friends.  I will miss the beauty of this state.  But I will be back, if even for visits only, I will be back.
 
Ok, pregnant woman getting emotional here...must stop before I either start bawling or puking!!

Wow. a whole "new" life--how exciting. I'm so happy you're so sick. Don't worry about the spotting. All is well!
oh, and I'm gonna give you my "good" email here--I don't know why the other one won't work.

It is so funny how you wrote about how you are moving, as I wrote about how we are 'stuck'!
I really think it will be a great move for you! New start, new beginning...new baby!
Stressful, sure! But, just take it as it comes!
2 DAYS! I can't wait to hear ALL about your u/s!!

So the move is official, huh? How much time, do you think? Damn, we really have to figure out a time to meet up before you go!!
