Begonia –I’m so sorry about your terrible dream….That's just awful! I’ve been having a lot of really low thoughts about the health of my little bub lately. It’s terrible, especially since I’m such a worrier normally anyway. I know worrying doesn't change anything and probably even makes things worse but I can't help myself. I love this guy and I want him here healthy, safe and sound! I’m feeling kind of similar to you…sometimes I go crazy wanting to know the sex of this baby, partly b/c if it’s a girl, I can stop feeling so bad that it’s not and then also if it’s a boy, I don’t have to keep my false dream alive any longer…I’m just hoping I can stay the course and not find out b/c I remember how cool it was finding out on D-day. Man…I’m kinda torn! I sort of really want to “nubsess”...
OMG…Reuben sammies….I’m a vegetarian but they were my favies as a kid. I make some really kick-@$$ vegan Ruebens sometimes…now I reallllly want one, especially before major nausea starts! Still have my FX it’ll be a wonderful last pregnancy tied up w/a pink bow at the end! BTW - now I’m going to think of you and churros every time I go to Cost-co, lol. I’ve never had one…maybe I’ll have to try one for you!
Kris – your sister is never going to make it! There’s just no possible way unless she lives across the country and never visits. Too funny…I’m wondering how long she can make it w/out knowing. Bet she’ll know by the time you’re about 28 wks or so. I agree w/you on the shopping…just not good gender neutral stuff out there! It seems like what would work well for a boy wouldn’t be that great on a girl and vice-versa. I’m excited you’re finding out b/c I can live vicariously through your results if I do indeed wait to find out on this one. Whether this is your only baby or you go on to have one or two more, just enjoy the ride…yucky nausea and all. It’s such an experience and even though in your last mos, you’ll be so ready to deliver, you’ll actually miss your belly bump after you do. Take it all in, Mama!!!
Cheeky – I totally almost wrote in my last post that we should swap kiddos if we wind up w/the wrong gender, lol. Ahhhhh, if it was only that easy, lol. I know there’s nothing I can do about the gender of my baby now but I still really want my girl and if I screwed it up on this last time that I’ll ever be preg again, AAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!! I know I’ll love this little guy but I’ll always be missing my girl. I know you can relate b/c you need your boy just as much. I forgot…are you waiting to find out or will you be “nubsessing”? There’s a good chance you’ll be able to see the heartbeat at 6w5d but it really depends on your doc’s equipment. If you don’t see a heartbeat, DON’T GET DOWN since it may take a few more days. Here’s a link that you may find useful (scroll down to week 6): http://www.americanpregnancy.org/pre...evelopment.htm
Well, no crazy cravings here…just eating well for the most part. I put on 4 lbs since I found out I was preg and I hope to put on a few more before I’m 8 wks incase I lose weight again w/this pregnancy. It’s kind of fun to put on weight instead of being on the eat-nothing-but-air-and-white-rice girl diet. I made my 1st appointment for Aug 16th so I should be 7w4d I think. I’m excited and nervous but frankly just ready to get this show on the road! I was looking at baby names yesterday and I’ve got a nice new one for a girl but DH doesn’t like my boy names. They’re recycled from the last two times around when he vetoed them then as well…AAAHHHHRRRRGGGG!
