It took me 3 weeks to figure out the portion control for the last two meds after many trial and error.  I would show people how I would cut up these two pills in tiny, tiny pieces and how small of a portion I took it and they were all surprised that such a tiny amount(it was more like a tiny crumb) could even make a difference.  But it did, and I’ve told my other friends about it and some who didn’t listen and took the full pill or even 1/2 a pill of these two, they all told me it made them really sleepy and it knocked them out for at least several hours.  I know it all depends on your metabolism, weight, height, what not, but one of my friend was 5’9″ and it still knocked her out so start out small, at least 1/4 a pill.  

Anyway, these pills really saved me from the horrible morning sickness and I just wish I had found out about it sooner.  It would’ve saved almost 2 months of being practically bed ridden!  So hopefully this post will help someone else.

What morning sickness remedies have you tried that worked or didn’t work for you?

OXO sent me some products to use when my baby comes and I’m excited to share with you what I received! All the items I received I would definitely use for the baby but here are the 5 items I am most excited about.

Well guys, my due date is exactly in one week.  You’d think since this is my 3rd child I wouldn’t be as nervous, but as time is getting near by, I’m getting nervous!  Mainly excited to meet this little boy of mine but nervous about labor and all that fun stuff.  With my previous two births, whenever I’d get nervous and scared I would say to myself, “Well, I don’t know one single person who’s died from giving birth, so as long as it doesn’t kill me, I guess I’ll be okay.”  but now I can’t say that anymore because unfortunately, I know one amazing lady who’s recently passed away giving birth to her 6th child.  I cried for 4 days straight.  So I don’t have anything I can tell myself to make me feel less scared.  I guess all I can do is pray to God that everything will be okay.  

I googled “what to pack for the hospital bag” and the list seems to be endless and overwhelming(boppy, pads, underwear, bathing suit for your partner, newborn book, snacks, change, gifts for older siblings and photos of the older kids so they know you haven’t forgotten about them, a journal, baby nail clipper…) and it was making me so overwhelmed that I just stopped reading and packed only the basic necessities.  I didn’t pack gifts for my other two kids(or any of the items mentioned above), I hope they don’t feel left out or unloved!  If you have any one item that you were so glad you brought or wish you had brought with you to the hospital, please share, I’d appreciate it so much.  

*deep breath* Okay baby, I’m ready for you!
