Symptoms: my nausea has gotten way better but it is still there from time to time and I can't really pinpoint anything that brings it on. 

Best Moment this week: Going to a family baby shower and getting really excited about this baby!

I had to do a 24 hour urine test and had a MAJOR traumatic blood draw this morning.  If you know me then you know how much I hate needles, specifically blood draws (shots don't bother me and blood doesn't bother me).  I thought I had somewhat gotten over this fear from the last pregnancy because I was such a trooper the whole time...and trust me I was poked a lot.  However, this morning the nurse didn't tell me how much blood she was drawing (because she knows I freak out) and it took forever and I have a nice little bruise and sore arm.  It was seriously 6 or 7 vials.    at 8 am.  before breakfast.  I survived!
