Okay, so update. I am now about 16 weeks along. I have been miserably sick! At first it was mostly aversions to food and nausea, but it soon converted to vomiting! Phenergan made me so drowsy and stopped working. Then Zofran helped and I thought it was a miracle until I started having side effects (headaches and the most debilitating constipation ever!). Being sick has let up some but when it returns, it hits me hard. Two days ago was horrible I got sick twice at work and soon as I got home. I took my last zofran and immediately vomited it back up. :-( I had to settle for phenergan and was out all evening until the next day. I didn't keep anything down that day and lost 2 pounds. In fact I have not gained any weight this pregnancy. It has been horrible and I do not think I can go through this again...
Okay. Enough whining. On the bright side, I had the ultrasound Monday. Now I have been thinking maybe it is a boy because this pregnancy is so different from my last. Glowing skin (last one I was breaking out like a teenager) and horrid morning sickness, etc. Although at 13 weeks and 6 days I felt I knew it was a girl. I told my husband and he said that no it's a boy. My daughter at first wanted a little sister but later said she thinks it is a boy.
Ultrasound earlier this week showed that..................................
it's a GIRL!!!! I am excited. My second little Diva. No need to buy a new stroller or car seat (the one we have is already pink and gray). I feel I am pretty good at raising girls.
Unfortunately, my husband is experiencing some gender disappointment. Although he is still happy, he is a little sad that we are not having a boy, especially since this is likely our last pregnancy / baby. He was so looking forward to a son to bond with and give his name to. :-( But I know he will come around.
