My younger daughter has built her life around the use of the word "actually" -- and has done so since age 3. For so long, their language is all nouns (ball) or pronouns (mine!) or prepositions (Up!) or interjections (NO!). I love watching the act of language development -- little minds trying on phrases like hats, spilling out ideas like blocks across the floor. Discovering verbs and adverbs that run across the room with their words. "Taste that juice." "Hold kitty, please." and then, all of a sudden, you have a child who says "Actually, I wanted the other juice" and then a pre-teen who tells you long rambling stories that end with an insight or a pun or a quip like "well, you don't see THAT every day!" I'm glad that you're feeling better. With my first pregnancy, the queasiness crept away slowly, a bit earlier in the day each day until the 8-5 nausea was 8-4, 8-3, and slowly, it dissipated into ravenous hunger. With the second, it literally went away overnight. I was so afraid to eat, that first day I felt good, figuring that I would be throwing up all night and that it was a fluke. By that evening, though, I figured that I would go for it and pay the piper later. Funny, that particular piper never came. Hang in there.
