HAHA!

With DS6 (who is my DYS) I had hyperemesis gravidarum so bad that I required a hospitalization and frequent IV fluids for the first 22 weeks.

My other two younger kids gave me nausea but not as bad as that first pregnancy.

Yep, all day sickness with all 3 of mine until about 20week....even after that just brushing my teeth was enough to make me hurl....

With DS8 (who is my DYS), I threw up once, but had nausea and serious indigestion throughout pregnancy. My second DS2 gave me some nausea, but I never got sick.

We prefer the very bad sleeper study theory,

I had no morning sickness with either one of my gt kids (DS6 is DYS). None at all. As a matter of fact in the 1st trimester I had hardly any pregnancy symptoms besides loosing my waist line

I had bad headaches and nausea almost the entire time I was pregnant with my son.

I only had morning sickness for the first several months when I was pregnant with my daughter.

this is definately us as well

and my husband is 6'8" too...

I have an abnormally tall kid considering his parents! I also puked my guts out for 25 weeks, regardless of medication or crackers in bed or whatever other cockamamie idea!

So I'll take the Tall+morning sickness= super-gifted :-)

Ohh Dottie he has a giant head too! They told me at 10 mo he'd probably have autism because abnormally large heads were an indicator. Does that mean "more efficient brain development" too?

How about wearing glasses?

In my head that is a clear indicator of intelligence... and it has nothing to do with the fact that DH and I both wear glasses lol.

You guys are cracking me up! LOL! Here's what I've got:

1. Very sick with both my pregnancies
2. Head size for both was off the charts! (DS8 wears and adult size racing helmet...even though he's 52lbs!)
3. Both are 80%-90% for height.
4. Both got teeth early.
