Quail_Antwerp: Words from the Barnyard...

Of course we need to be kept informed!

So, are we placing bets on the sex??? I'm guessing girl....I'm with you on the heartbeat thing...my DD's was way higher than my son's.

Well, I'm betting it's going to be a BOY because we're all hoping too hard for a girl. LOL (but still hoping for a girl!) truth be told, I'm worried I'm going to get my hopes up for a girl and be disappointed if they say boy. Won't know until April, though.

But, regardless, I didn't pass up a deal on some nursery decor yesterday at the local Browse and buy - pink and brown with hippos, elephants, giraffes, and koala bears. It was a 6 piece set - curtains, diaper stacker, blanket, mobile, and wall decor - originally priced at $20 but since it was a pink sticker item, I got the WHOLE set for 99 cents!!

Am I supposed to tell ya'll what the sex is when we find out???

We find out the sex of my baby next Monday and I am going to be 18 weeks then. I have to be honest this pregnancy is kicking my butt and I am exhausted. Good luck on the rest of your pregnancy!

Congratulations Aly!!! How did I miss this news??? I'm thrilled for ya!!!

Babies everywhere!!

 

[lorihadams]

You'd better tell!!!

I'll have to get your address again and send you a present! Got any ideas for names yet? We had to switch off on our kids, hubby got to pick my son's first name and I got to pick the middle name and we reversed it for my DD.

I gotta give all you ladies with more than 2 children props! I'm done.

Hubby and I stopped at two. We didn't ever want to be outnumbered!

OK, so I've been having some REALLY weird dreams lately.

I had dreamed that BeccaOh wasn't feeling well. In my dream she had flu like symptoms or something. I called her house the next morning, and her mom tells me she wasn't feeling well with a bad headache!

Then a couple nights ago I had a strange dream about ice cream - that's all I remember about that dream, ice cream.

Last night I dreamed OFG lived next door to me - we both had huge farm houses - and I was having her over for coffee and giving her extra baking implements that I had on hand but never used!

Wouldn't mind if OFG lived next door, but she ain't getting my baking implements! never never never!!

There was another dream, too, going shopping at Wal~mart and not being able to escape the baked goods - filled my cart with chocolate chip cookies, sugar cookies, cinnamon streusel cake, and blue berry muffins, and then went on to the produce section for fruits and veggies....oh wait, that really happened.......I spent $50 on fruits and baked goods....

So ... having a bit of hormone fluctuation are you?

Knowing OFG she probably makes hoe cakes on her shovel and rolls out the dough with her ax handle. (She already makes sauerkraut that way! ) She won't be bothering your baking things.

Congratulations on making it to the 2nd trimester. I remember that as the point where my energy picked back up finally. I also remember that I would buy organic strawberries every time I was out having a prenatal appointment. Well, that's not true . . . I made my husband buy them for me and he didn't even complain about it because he knew they weren't just for me.

I remember having a pastry craving at one point. Mostly though I couldn't get enough ice cream, pickles, blueberry pancakes, and fresh strawberries. Oh and before I knew I was pregnant I couldn't get enough asparagus. Funny that asparagus is the veggie with the most folic acid! My body was telling me something!

 

[Quail_Antwerp]

I can't seem to get enough fruits and veggies - and a couple weeks ago I was dying for a whopper...lol not healthy lol

this afternoon my stomach has been upset and rolling at the mere thought of food, though.

to answer Lori's question, yes, we have names picked, but I'm not telling them on here, sorry!

I'll tell meanings, though! The first name we've picked for a boy means "God's gift" and the first name for a girl we've picked means "little Warrior"

So let me see, that would be Theodore and Zena?
