So I'm 13 weeks today- yay! :) All four (lol) of my ultrasounds have measured exactly on date, and the most recent one that looks for signs of downs was perfect too. Heart rate has always been high - 159-162, but I know the heart rate thing is an old wives tale. Gender scan is at 21 weeks - Dec 22nd. I told DH if they cant find it Im booking a 3d scan at a private clinic! DH is [I]sure[/I] its a girl- I think it is too but know that I could be wrong. We've had a hard time with names- I like names that are less common but not weird, and no weird spellings, but not every day names. DH likes every day, simple, common names. He suggested Sarah, I said no because its too common (no offense to moms of Sarahs!), but it grew on me and now DH is calling referring to her as Sarah! :lol: Now I just think of the baby as Sarah, so I suspect thats what it will be if she is a she after all. The only boy name we have is Jack- its not either of our very favorites but we have a solid "last resort name". Other then that I'm still horribly, horribly, ill- even with the zofran. I asked the Dr for something else, but she didnt think the side effects would be worth it for me and since I was 12 weeks I should feel better any day. I took this week off work- Im only part time, but I call in at least once a week and go home early all the time. I talked to my boss after she talked to the dept head, and they want me to stay and are ok with me shifting my hours around and putting them in where I can. I'm really hoping to stop feeling sick this week since I took the week off, but I woke up with a cold! Bah! I did eat a sandwich this morning though which is wonderful, although I usually dont start feeling puke-sick until ~3pm. Yesterday was horrible and I was in tears more of the day, I just need the sickness to pass. Poor Ben is alone almost all the time- he comes home from school and I sleep til dinner and then feel sick from dinner til bed. He is old enough to understand, but yesterday we didnt go to the pumpkin patch because I was so sick, and I dont want him to resent the baby. :( I'm not a praying woman, but last night I was sure putting the message out there that I would be very grateful if I could stay pregnant but not feel sick!! I havent taken any belly pics yet- I do have a little belly but it really does just look like a beer gut. I'm a little overweight to begin with, so it doesnt look much like baby!
