Hi! My name is Amy
My EDD is July 24th
We are team
This is our your first pregnancy!

I get so sick to my stomach at night so anything that I had for dinner grosses me out and I can never eat it again!

I am loving eating bagels almost everyday! Bread, butter and cheese are my favorite things and I'm in love with my little bump.

We're waiting to see what happens with DH residency placement in March to make any moves. We only live in a one bedroom and it is going to get tight! I'd love a town house. Other than that I'm busy reading books, being on LIF and chatting up with my fellow preggo family members.

Philip John (My dad who passed away in '98 and the middle name is his dad)
Jacqueline Grace, Jessica Lee, Abigail Grace

Yay for July 2011 Mommies!

Re: <3 <3 Official July 2011MommyThread<3 <3

Checking in.. How is everyone feeling?

I went for a routine sono yesterday at 16.5 weeks and everything looks great. Unfortunately I still have to wait until my level II to find out the gender, but thats okay. I saw my little jumping bean lounging in utero. So cute!

I've been feeling great! Loving the 2nd trimester, but I know I better enjoy it now

Re: <3 <3 Official July 2011MommyThread<3 <3

Hi! Never saw this thread before, I'll add now.

Name:
Nicole

EDD:
07/30/11

Are you team ? Or will you find out?
We'll find out as soon as possible - most likely Saturday 2/12 - my birthday! I told DH that all I wanted for my birthday was to know what this baby is. We'll see my entire family the night of my bday, so I'm thinking of revealing by filling a cake with blue or pink icing depending on the gender. I will honestly be shocked if this baby isn't a boy - I'm having the exact same pg as I did with my son. Everyone is saying girl, though!!!


Is this your first pregnancy? 2nd? 3rd?
This is baby #2. Our DS was born 2 weeks early on 07/30/09 and I'm hoping the same for baby #2. July 18th would be great.


What ails you?
It's vom city over here. I was sick with baby #1 from before I tested until about 32 weeks, then again 36 - 38 weeks. I even threw up on the day my water broke! I'm very sensitive to smells. I'm on the max daily dosage of Zofran (before the infusion pump) and I'm chugging along best I can.


What are you loving these days?
anything spicy


What is on your agenda? ( saving up so that you can quit your job? house hunting? working on nursery? reading books about how to care for a baby? etc)
This baby was a total surprise, so the shock is finally starting to wear off and survival mode is setting in. We're in a 2 BR apt right now and before this baby, we planned to buy a house within the next year. Unfortunately, the cost of 2 in daycare, diapers, formula, and my insanely high out-of-pocket responsibility with my health coverage (we payed about $8k OOP for DS1's delivery/NICU stay) has put a hold on our house plans. We have money saved for down pymt, but we can't comfortably afford the monthly mortgage payments.


Any names you like so far?
We have it down to 2 boy names and 2 girl names right now (with a favorite in each category), but the middle names are set in stone.
middle name: Grace
middle name: Joseph
We'll definitely share our name choice once we know the gender.
