I found love late in life, the good strong lasting kind of love I mean. Which meant my dream of having a family was on hold until my 30's. Now married and 40, after 3+years of trying, I am a mom to a beautiful baby girl.

It's weird to root for nausea, isn't it? Ya, I get you tho. I was so worried that I didn't buy a stitch of anything baby related until I was nearly 7 months along. Too paranoid.
I'm happy that you got a strong symptom and at least it was in the shower...;) (I once hoarked in a Walmart... now *that* was embarrassing).
