With my last one my SIL actually intimated I would consider an abortion because it wasn't a girl! Can't even tell you how upset I was!
Wow that SIL was way out of line - what a ridiculous thing to say!
Okay ladies - what on earth is going on? I have been so looking forward to hitting 12 weeks and consequently the nausea and exhaustion subsiding. But this week I have spent more time hanging out in the ladies room than I have the prior 9 weeks!!
I have heard from a lot of people that the 1st trimester doesn't end until you hit 14 weeks, but there seems to be no set date for the end of morning sickness. I hope yours eases soon!
2) There is a restaurant around here called Chuy's. It's tex-mex and they have the best green chili rice and green chili warm salsa. I want both. NOW.
Hmm, we have some Chuy's around here too, I wonder if it's the same?

That green chili stuff sounds good!
I'm not really craving anything weird, just fruit and french fries with ketchup. Not at the same time. My biggest aversion seems to be all fast/greasy food - I feel horrible after I eat anything like that.
My preggo pants from my last pregnancy aren't fitting.
Ugh, me neither! I was only about 5 lbs smaller pre-pregnancy from this to the first pregnancy, but many of my pants just aren't fitting. I think it's because I'm carrying this one so much higher. Funny thing, while I've been in maternity pants for almost 2 months now, maternity tops STILL don't fit - they're all way too big and long!
I think I'm just really cranky today too. I was supposed to be going to Disney tomorrow with dd and a friend and her dd. Well first my friend cancelled - which I completely understood. And quite honestly I'm a little resentful.....I NEED a break and I wanted to go to my happy place
Sorry about the cancelled vacation, that really stinks!
I forgot to add ketchup. I have been eating tons of it. I *HATE* ketchup.
That is so funny!
This reminded me of an article I recently read about the "Mc10:35" sandwich. Apparently you go to McDonald's as the last of the breakfast is being sold and lunch is being started (around 10:35)....you then combine an Egg McMuffin and a McDouble sandwich. If that combo doesn't sound like the craving of a pregnant woman, I don't know what does!
That sounds pretty disgusting to me right now, and I usually like Egg McMuffins. Last pregnancy I went to a McD's at 10:32 and they wouldn't serve me breakfast so I cried.

stupid pregnancy cravings and hormones.
Have to vent! Some part on our water heater decided to break this morning and we have no hot water.... Lovely! We were able to get a repair guy out to look at it, but sadly they won't be able to get a replacement part until Monday... Ughh. I was able to take what I refer to as a 'bird bath' and wash my hair, but this is going to be a long and icky weekend.
That sucks! I hope you get it fixed today!
In other news, still on bedrest. Blood pressure is still high and bedrest alone is not bringing it down so I'm supposed to start medicine for it now. Now I have to have twice-weekly visits, non-stress tests, labs, etc.

My dr also did the strep-b test this week, because they said that if labor starts after 36 weeks they won't stop it and so it was best to do the test a bit early and know now.
Sorry about the bp and bedrest, but glad to hear your LO is still in there cooking!
But...this was after the power was shut off on Thursday morning around 10:15 while I was home alone and had not had a chance to shower yet.
Honestly, I could have killed his ex-wife.
Stupid ex-wife drama, I hate when people are petty with things like that.

They're not the ones affected, so it's like they don't care!
Long weekend here. I started cleaning out our office (AKA junk room) which is going to be the nursery.
My mom brought us a bunch of clothes she got and a swing and bouncy seat for the baby this weekend. Our Bulldog puppy loves the bouncy seat, he crawled in it and started to play, LOL.
Yay for cleaning out your "junk" room! That will be my next project when we get back from vacation!
LOL at the puppy in the bouncy seat!
Mothers Day was a big bust here, I cleared out all of yesterday to do smoething with MIL and DH's Grandma, and they at the last minute decided that they were giong to do something with SIL and her DH. Ugh. Oh, and not invite us. Lovely. DH and I are a bit miffed, to say the least, this happens on most holidays. SIL is a brown-noser and has a lot of nice things (and massive credit card debt, but I digress...) so MIL and Grandma bend over backwards for her. I don't get it. At least I got to go to the
Disney store and get a few tshirts for myself, and a little swim outfit for the little man. AHhh well. Such is life.
Sorry for the Mother's Day drama, at least you got to enjoy yourself a little!
Pretty much a bust here too. DH had to travel for work and left yesterday, so my mom picked me and DD up in the morning and we drove to San Antonio to visit my grandmothers (92 and 87 yo!). The whole drive was uncomfortable and then the whole visit was somewhat depressing.
At least everyone pretends to get along, but it's still uncomfortable.
Question for you guys about sleeping... Do you ever get really bad pains when you switch positions while sleeping?
Sorry about your Mother's Day too, it's always difficult to spend days like that.
As for sleeping, I find laying down more and more difficult these days, even though I am not that big yet, and constantly have people telling me they think I am too small for how far I am (which is another vent I'm not in the mood for today).
I had a great mothers day. Church, lunch out at a nice restaurant, and then a 2 hour nap. Then DH loaded up all our garage sale stuff and we took it took church with us. Our church is doing a fundraiser for Children's Ministries. So I have more space in my garage and my car can go back inside.
Yay for a good mother's day!!
I'm home now so back to a life with power and heat thank goodness. My bf said the power company was coming today to hook it up so hopefully they do!
I'm sorry you had bad mom's days. You need kids like my sister and I! My parents came home from WDW yesterday and we got my mom a Happy Mothers Day balloon and one of those Cherry Pies you get from a gas station and brought it to the airport with us to pick them up. My dad got a Welcome Home balloon and Reeses Peanut Butter Cups.
And I saw my OB today. He had no reaction to the labor I was in last weekend, didn't even check to see if I was thinned out more or anything. He did say however that he didn't think it would be long before I was in labor again and this time we wouldn't stop it. So...I'm crossing my fingers it's sometime within the next 2 weeks, I'm absolutely ready to be done!
Yay for electricity! Sounds like you and your sister know how to treat your mom!
As for the OB, my last office was very relaxed like that, especially towards the end. Sounds like you're ready to go any day now!
Hi everyone!!
Just wanted to share the news!
We went to the doctor today, and:
IT'S A BOY!!!
Now, the baby naming games begin!
Congratulations!!!
Names are tough, because I am picky! I do not like trendy names. I like old English ones. William, Christopher, Jonathan, Jacob and Benjamin are the frontrunners. Although, I really like the name Cooper, which is super trendy and totally against my previous statement. My kids don't like Cooper at all...they have only known 1 Cooper, a girl!!!
I like the same types of names, Benjamin was one of my frontrunners for DS#1!

My only issue with the name is that our last name starts with an "S" so his initials would be "BS"

Finding names is so much fun. We finally seem to agree on a name at its Daniel Edward. And no its not after the Twilight Character, but my grandfather who passed away last year. We do have a dog named Bella though. So we will end up with a Bella and Edward. lol. It really was not intentional.
Daniel was my first choice for a boy name, after my mom's grandfather, but DH already has a 12 yo nephew named Daniel, so we took it off the list. Lol at Edward and Bella!
Benjamin is one of DH's faves, too. My aunt likes Jacob, but I can't help but think of a certain werewolf when I think of Jacob! LOL. I like Nathan, but there's already one of those in the (extended) family... so who knows. We liked Logan and Luke too, but man they're so popular now!
My mom just sent me an article that said Jacob was the most popular name of 2009, but I still like it!

I've never seen/read Twilight, so the name doesn't have that association for me.
Went to the doc today and took the glucose test. Hopefully it will come back with normal results.....I guess I'll know in about a week. I actually took the test already when I was about 19 weeks along, since I had GD last pregnancy. I passed that one, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I passed this one too!
All else went well. Baby seems to be doing well and the doc said everything looked good.

Can't ask for better results than that.
Sounds good, hope you passed this GD test as well!
