This and That

11w4d

          Luckily my morning sickness has started to subside, sort of.. I’m still vomiting regularly, but I don’t feel sick all day anymore.  From weeks 6-10, I was pretty much nauseous throughout each day, almost everyday with vomiting intermingled.  Now, I am just sick at night.  My circadian rhythm has always been off, so it kind of makes sense that my “morning” sickness would be at night..  According to everything I’ve read, it is supposed to go away after the first trimester.  I’m telling myself I have less than a week and a half of it left! 

            Other than me feeling icky everyday- we have gotten some work done on the baby room!  Mom came over on Monday and helped me remove the 1970s wallpaper (that was under the OTHER wallpaper I had already removed!).  Underneath the second layer of wallpaper, we also had a bit of a surprise… The room was painted… PINK!  Is it a sign?? (Ben says “NO!”) We’ll find out in about 8 weeks!  Wow, typing 8 weeks gave me a bit of a jolt.  In my mind, the date we find out the gender has seemed like this super far away time that will just never really get here, but 8 weeks really isn’t that long!  Yay!

            Ben and I are still back and forth on our favorite (i.e.: tolerable to each other) boy names.  We have pretty much decided on a girl’s name (we are still determining the middle name, but we have 3 strong options).  If Ben could name our boy without my input, we would have a Santino (Sonny), Vitto, or Ceasar.. If I could name our boy without Ben’s input, we would have an Eli, Isaiah, or Everest..  There are a few names we have both agreed we could live with, but so far, nothing has really struck us both as a great male name.  We’re working on it..
