about my pregnancy. When you announce you are pregnant, there are a series of questions that everyone asks. Here they are with their answers as they apply to me. Feel free to pretend you didn't read this post if we're talking, so that we still have stuff to talk about. ;)
*How far along are you? 10 weeks tomorrow.
*When are you due? August 23, 2009.
*Having a baby in the Fresno heat of August? Are you crazy? YES.
*Was it planned? Definitely.
*How do you feel? Are you sick? I feel sick to my stomach alllllll the time, but I've only thrown up a couple of times. Sometimes I wish I would for some relief, but I guess I should feel blessed. Very selective and suppressed appetite and consistent gag reflex. Heartburn. Indigestion. FATIGUE.
*Do you want a boy or a girl? This question bothers me, because the true answer is corny, and I am not a corny person...as long as the baby is happy and healthy. It's true. Marcos wants a boy--duh--so he can teach him to get into trouble and be like his little nephew Jackson. If you don't know Jackson, we made need to have a longer conversation at some point.
*Have you thought of any names? We can't agree on any names yet. I like normal names that normal people like. Marcos wants any name that sounds Mexican (Diego) or his #1 choice is my Dad's name (Bruce), neither of which are happening (sorry Dad!:).
*What about school? This is my last semester, so I'll graduate at the end of my 2nd trimester and be done! Then I'll have a few months to prepare and nest and such.
*Are you still working? Yes...I'm infinitely glad that this is my last semester working and going to school. I'm sick and tired of it! Talk about exhausting! But I'll make it. I'll work for as long as I can comfortably until the baby comes, and then we'll see after that. Goodness knows I won't want to go back to work, but circumstances may require it.
*Are you excited? VERY. I think I'll be even more excited when I actually have something cute to hold instead of just feeling like I'm sick all the time. But we are very very excited! And for any of you who know my husband, you'll understand that he's *extremely* fond of children and just ecstatic!:)

I'm so happy for you!!! I remember getting those questions all the time and the only question/comment that really bugged me is "Wow - you must be due any day now"... I got that a lot around my 6th month of pregnancy and it bugged! :) Hang in there with the fatigue/sickness/heartburn etc. I feel your pain... well I felt your pain :) ENJOY your pregnancy!!
That is so neat! I hope that you get better soon! And when are you going to find out the sex?
Who hoo! We're only 9 days apart! These kiddos should be bestest friends like us, but that would require us seeing each other more than once a year! I hope you start feeling better soon. My sickness just went away about a week and a half ago. You should be okay in just a couple of weeks. Love you!
Spearmint really helps with nausea. It's true! A lot of times I would chew some mint gum and it would take the edge off of my nausea. And mint tea helps settle your stomach. I don't envy the 1st trimester, but I'm so excited for you to experience this! PS. I'm trying to get a job at WAMU again. Blah, LONG story. Wish me luck!
gotta love the never ending pregnancy questions. the stroller is called the "city mini" by Baby Jogger. lot's of different places carry them. i was going to get mine from babies r us, but they didn't have the color i wanted, and my mom was able to get it from the military base for a little cheaper.
