Time for a Real Update Entry…

Hey All,

So, I am 12 weeks pregnant with baby #4. I’m really hoping this one is a boy. I’ve had to have diclectin prescribed to me for my nausea which seems worse with this one than any of the other 3. My due date is July 22, 2013 by my last period day, and July 24, 2013 by my first "dating" ultrasound. I go for my 2nd ultrasound on January 18th, and we *may* be able to see the gender. If not by then, definitely a few weeks later at my 3rd ultrasound (which I think they do around 20-24 weeks). My goal is to not gain any weight this pregnancy, and maybe, ideally, to even lose a few pounds so that what I weigh at the end of my pregnancy will be 230 lbs or less (which is about what I weigh now). As far as I can tell I haven’t gained any weight this past 3 months, so fingers crossed.

I’m not on the schedule for this week at work… I spoke to one of the managers and she said I shouldn’t worry about it. It wasn’t that I don’t have a shift, but I’m not even listed on the "roster" at all! That did concern me, but the manager, Irena, said that they had someone new making up the schedules and that she didn’t know everyone, so that’s how I could have been missed, and that others had come to her about issues with their schedule this week too. Oh well I’ll be calling in on Thursday to see if I’m scheduled at all from January 14-21.

Well I think that’s me all caught up for now… Oh yeah, one more thing… we have a boy’s name selected (had one selected since I was pregnant with "Scooter" back in 2008-2009) but we have yet to agree on and pick a girl’s name. I’m partial to names that start with ‘E’ since my first is ‘S,’ my 2nd is ‘E’ and my 3rd is ‘S.’ Erica and Emily are out though because I already have 2nd cousins with those names (actually they are sisters!). Erin or Eleanor are names I like, but Pookie doesn’t like Eleanor… and I’m not 100% on Erin… If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to leave them!
