It's brief here and it was a much longer look in ours, but it was still pretty amazing. I get why people are inclined to call this a miracle. It is easily one of the best things nature does. Literally you have sex (a thing that, let's face it, you're going to do anyway) and somehow THAT excellent act makes a baby. it blows my mind to think about it.
So this is real. Am i still afraid we'll lose it? Yes, but not as much. The doctor is very hopeful and thinks we should be too and I'm doing my very best to focus on that. I feel like this time everything is right.
So good news. Now, as the wife said, to stay paleo and keep food in her.
One of the most common theories about morning sickness is that it is an evolutionary choice made to keep parasites out of a new fetus. You hurl meat because meat, when we were coming up human, was the most likely thing to cause you problems (as a lot of it was found laying around on the ground). Less of a problem now, but nobody told your body. So a focus on vegetables is probably going to help, here. It also helps with a lot of less pleasant pregnancy symptoms (because ... you know ... water and fiber ... I'm not going to spell it out for you).
Things are hopeful, happy, and looking forward here. I'm interviewing pediatricians already. I give no quarter (and finding one that is okay with our diet and lifestyle choice will be a trick). I'll keep you all updated.
