Pregnancy and Puking

Twelve weeks today. We've had a rough start, this baby and I. But soon we can put that behind us and enjoy each others presence a little more... I've lost 6-8 lbs in the past month and a half, if that helps put my morning sickness into perspective. Granted, some of that weight was holiday weight, that should've been coming off anyways, but still I haven't weighed under 123 in a looong time. I started taking miniscule amounts of B12 last night, in addition to vitamin B6 and my prenatal vitamins. It's supposed to help with the vomiting. So far, no pukes this morning. We'll see if that lasts... Still, it's weird not having puked yet.

Did I say that we saw our baby last week on an ultrasound? Josh thought that maybe it was a butterfly. Now that he knows it's a baby, he's sure he is getting a sister, just as he prayed for. Earlier this week, I told him to tell the baby a bedtime story, just for kicks. He hesitated, and then told me he only knew boy stories. He didn't know any girl stories and therefore, he could not tell the baby a story. (I think I laughed out loud.) I asked him what he would do if the baby were a brother instead of a sister, and he assured me that he did not want a brother and that it has to be a girl. He's pretty confident that his prayers for a sister will be answered. I wouldn't mind that really, but I'm trying to stay open-minded. LOL

Do you think he'll cry if it's a boy?

Well, just in case, if he does, you just put that sweet baby into his arms and he will decide to keep him after all. :)
