Flu Shot

So I am having a dilemma.. Everything I read says pregnant woman should get the flu shot not only for them but the baby is protected for 6 months after birth. However I have read comments that some believe the mercury that's in the shot can cause autism in the baby. Now my GP says get it my OB/GYN is against any kind of vaccination during pregnancy. I am so confused. I am asthmatic so the flu shot is a big plus for me. I have been getting the shot for 17 years.. really don't know what to do.

Making people guess

It's been fun making people guess at what we are having. Co workers are frustrated with me or more my husband cause he's the one who doesn't want to say anything. So far not one person has said we are having a boy.. Everyone has guessed a girl. I try so hard not to smile. If they happen to say he or she I just agree. Although I have to admit I know I am going to slip up somewhere. As much as I like having people guess I also want to jump up and shout out what we are having.

On another note I received some not so happy news from a friend yesterday. Wendy was expecting twins and at her 12 week check up she found out she lost one of them. The other baby is healthy. Thank God for that. I can sympathize with Wendy as I too had lost one this time last year. It was devastating to me, at the very least she has something to hold on to .. Wendy my thoughts and prayers are with you sweetie.

We were convinced!

So all this time hubby and I were convinced we were having a girl.. Well yesterday was a shocker.. That's right people it's a BOY! we saw the genitals there is no mistaking it. I think I am taking it better than my husband but I am sure he will gt over his shock even if it means I have to kick him in the butt.

Personally I am happy with either or, I just want a healthy baby. Yes it means changing some of the ideas we had for the future of our baby but oh well life likes to throw us curves.

20 Weeks

So I am at the halfway mark.. Saw the Dr. today we know what we are having.. Yes I am going to leave everyone hanging.. Hubby wants to announce it at birth. Here is the baby and doing very well I might add.

At Last

Ok Wendy here it is... I promised you a pic this weekend so here it is.. I actually look decent in these pics so I feel ok posting it.

Slacker

Yeah I'm a slacker.. Pretty much just been dreaming most days. I find it very hard to concentrate on any one thing. My husband put together the crib, and I have started receiving little things from people. An ex co-worker came over with a whole bunch of wonderful stuff a swing, high chair, exerciser and a mat for the baby. The more I see these things the more it becomes reality.

I had a mini car accident on Wens of last week since then I have been slightly neurotic. Thank god no cramps or bleeding so all seems good. I have a doctors appointment on the 15th so I will talk to him more about it. I know I promised pics of the belly but my husband took them of me on a Sunday ( ie no makeup ) so I am not posting them :P

I think hubby and I have picked a name for the name.. No I am not telling yet :). Lets just say it hasn't' been easy.
