Wow, I'm 16 weeks pregnant now!

Look! There's my little baby :) That's at 13 weeks and now we are at 16 weeks. Next week I will find out if the baby is a boy or a girl. At first I was hoping for a boy, but now I think that a girl would be really fun too. Especially because I already have a girl who is 7 years old and they could share a bedroom. If the baby is a girl, I like the name, Nova Jewel and if it's a boy, I'm not sure yet!

Anyway, I'm happy and feeling well. I hope you are too.

Catch-22

I have had the worst tension headache for two full days now. I've only taken Tylenol and it does work for awhile, but not long enough. Yesterday I took 3 baths! I'm hoping to be well again by tomorrow. I'd really like to enjoy my days off from work....which I believe is the cause of said headache, actually.

Hello! I'm sorry I've been so lazy here. I promise to do better. So what's new? I'm having a baby!! I'm so excited and just thrilled, though I feel terrible and I can't believe that I'm actually holding it together. I feel big and lazy and I'm only 9 weeks, but I surmise that's why. I am hoping to feel better in about a month. I have a 7 year old daughter who is also very happy to be welcoming a new baby into our little family. She's wonderful!! My light and joy, Ina.
So far, I'm planning a waterbirth at home. It's very expensive here in California, but it's worth it to me.
