Bouncing baby boy?

Jon thinks this baby is going to be a boy. We have both had dreams where we had a baby boy so he's sticking with that. My step-dad also thinks it is a boy. I have no idea. All the old wive's tales split down the middle, kind of leaning toward girl. We won't be able to find out for a couple months so I'm not too worried about it. It doesn't really matter, though. All babies are great!

One thing I do know is that this kid will be a picky eater. He/she certainly doesn't want me eating anything! I'm not getting the nausea so much anymore, at least not much, but still with the spontaneous vomiting and food aversion. Now, a fun new adventure, with mind-bending sinus headaches! Ugh. I can barely lift my head out of bed in the morning. I am loathe to take any medicine for these headaches, but I'm reaching the end of my rope. My midwife gave me a list of medications that are considered relatively safe in pregnancy, so I'm going to head to the drug store this afternooon to get some Actifed or Dimetapp or other drug off the list. Sadly all the allergy/sinus drugs I have in the house are not on the safe list.

Earlier this week Jon and I took our first trip to Babies R Us. It was an informational trip, to look at carseats and strollers and whatnot. We have a lot of stuff to buy...woah. I think we got overwhelmed. We'll have to go back again at some point and focus our energy, instead of wandering around thinking, "everything is $300." We did find one thing we love. Of course, way too expensive. But so awesome!! The most comfortable rocking chair in the world.



I love it. Maybe we can find something equally as soft and comfortable for cheaper somewhere else. There were some really horrible rocking chairs on display, though. Hard, uncomfortable, scratchy fabric. Who would buy them? It was a mystery.

Jon is out of town until Monday morning so it is just me and the dogs. We all miss him, but we're getting along. Napping. Relaxing. It's good.

You should get a neti pot and use it every morning or night. It's just salt water in one nostril and out the other, you could probably find one online, I bought mine at Whole Foods. Living near boulder, I'm surprised you don't trip over them on the street.

It helps.
