Hello. Today our little Blueberry Tan has completed his/her 7th week in the womb. "Morning sickness" which by the way is not limited by the morning hours has increased throughout the day. If you were to sneak a peak into our little home you'd see glasses everywhere that were once filled with water, gatorade, apple juice, orange juice, seltzer water in attempt to control the nausea that comes and goes at all hours of the morning, day and night. Cooking warm/hot temperature foods has been a bit difficult for me during the last week. Something about hot stewy foods that wasn't agreeing with me. My wonderful husband was so great to have taken me out for cold sandwiches & salads. (Love you baby)
Here's how our little Blueberry Tan has been doing. (Taken from BabyCenter.Com):Hands and feet are emerging from developing arms and legs — although they look more like paddles at this point than the tiny, pudgy extremities you're daydreaming about holding and tickling. Your baby has doubled in size since last week and now measures half an inch long, about the size of a blueberry. If you could see inside your womb you'd spot eyelid folds partially covering his/her peepers, which already have some color, as well as the tip of his/her nose and tiny veins beneath parchment-thin skin. Both hemispheres of your baby's brain are growing, and his/her liver is churning out red blood cells until his/her bone marrow forms and takes over this role. He/she also has an appendix and a pancreas, which will eventually produce the hormone insulin to aid in digestion. A loop in your baby's growing intestines is bulging into his/her umbilical cord, which now has distinct blood vessels to carry oxygen and nutrients to and from his/her tiny body.
Below are some Chinese New Year (Year of the Tiger) gifts for Blueberry Tan from Grandma & Grandpa in Singapore :)
Can't wait to see him/her wear this during the winter time!
Baby Tan will be a Tiger Baby!

How Cute! I can't wait to see him/her wearing those! About the morning sickness, eat crackers or corn flakes. That worked for me during my pregnancy with "special K" (katie girl). I know exactly what you are feeling, I was the exact same way. But,anything for our little ones.
Thanks Sara! I should totally keep some by the bedside! I'm also taking morning walks around our apt complex. The fresh air is so refreshing :)
I looooove all the plans you have for baby Tan. It's sooo adorable! :)
