Today I am 16 weeks 6 days along! I had an appointment last week and the baby sounds great! Of course the Nurse Practitioner gawked at the weight loss-they all do! I have had a different provider for every pregnancy, and so even though I tell them how my pregnancies go, they tend to still be in shock when I come in for an appointment and am 20 pounds less than I was when I came in before!
I mentioned to the NP how there were many times I really felt I should have gone to the ER for IV fluids but its just so much work! I have to get someone to watch my kids, and I have to get a ride, and then I have to pay $50 for water ( ouch! for water? now if they could pump some morphine in, that would be worth it! ), and in the end its just not worth the effort to peel myself off of the bathroom floor, clean myself up and get it all done! THEN she tells me, "well, you know, if it's during office hours you can just come here, we can hook you up and it doesn't cost you anything!"
WAIT....WHAT???? How come no one told me that!! Free would have been worth it! lol ( says the cheap-o with Jewish blood running thick through her veins). Free would have been worth possibly peeing on myself because of the force of the vomiting, Free would have been worth finding a sitter, Free would have been worth being stuck with a needle and not getting an narcotics!...AHHHHH!
School for me has been going fine, I have not thrown up, though I did get to class one morning and outside the class door was a pool of vomit...someone else had beat me too it! I do sit next to the doors, and I sip water and eat pretzels the whole time and I carry gallon size zip lock bags in my purse-but so far so good!
We are no closer to coming up with names with this little person, than I am to being 6 feet tall! Jake and kids are insisting it have a "Z" name and are referring to it as "Zed". They figure that will be the nickname one way or the other....I on the other hand am not thrilled with the "Z" theme. To make it worse.....Jake really thinks we should let the gender be a surprise. The kids and I are dying! We ALL want to know, and honestly it makes it easier with names, I don't have to fight for both, only one! Not only am I fighting with Jake about it, but the kids are quite opinionated about what they like and don't like. This baby may come home from the hospital listed as "Baby Heninger".
We have the BIG ultrasound on the 22nd, so to find out-or not to find out?!

I always said that if we did it again I would let it be a surprise. But I have never had to have to willpower to actually do that! Good luck with the names...I remember the name 'disagreements' very well!
I forgot I would show up as my google self above...It's Amanda!
I could never wait it out, I always had to know. I like to choose a name as quickly as possible so that the baby has an identity other than "the baby" or worse, "it." This last one was tough, since we thought we had it with Sophia, and then I changed my mind. But Zoe is completely fitting for us, for her. It's too perfect. SO, I would say to find out if you can.
And, I like Z names too... I think because my first name ends in a Z sound... and of course, my little Zoe Lynne Grace. =)
Good luck!
I would say find out!
