Well, my cold turned into a sinus infection :-(  Of course, the cold
happened at a time where I just couldn’t sit back and relax.  I never did
sudafed when I wasn’t pregnant, so I didn’t take it now.  I’m on
antibiotics now, to clear up the infection.  Bleh.

Take it easy!

Can I vent??? (long)

OK here’s the story, I’m one of two Assistant Managers at a store in the
local mall. Last weekend I made the mistake of telling the other assistant
that I bought a pregnancy test and we’d see in the morning. It should be
of no suprise to anyone that I want more children and why wouldn’t I want
them soon? So anyways my peer with whom I thought I had a confidance(sp?)
told the store manager. and she called me on it on Tuesday. So then the
next day  the SM was spending the day with my DM at another store. DM
calls me to ask me about the days business and then she asks "Are you
pregnant?" "No." "Good" "That depends" "What do you mean?" "Maybe I want a
baby." She told me basically that I have other priorities right now one of
which is being that best assistant I can be so I can work my way to my own
store and then I can afford to have another baby and in the mean time to
use birth control not like the others.(Two of the SM in the district are
pregnant, one due in 2 weeks the other in March and they were both
unexpected, whereas mine would be planned) I’m mad at everybody,my DM for
stepping over the boundry’s and saying those things to me(I know she
thinks she was doing me a favor setting me straight but it hurt none the
less) the SM for telling the DM, the other assistant for telling the SM,
how can I trust her now? And myself for opening my mouth in the first
place. I was just so excited that I could possibly be pregnant that I had
to tell someone and who better to tell than my equal?!? I’ll know better
next time. I’m not saying a word till after I get back from the doc’s
office confirming a prgnancy!!!

Thanks for listening

Chances of Having Twins?

My great-grandmother had twins and someone in her family had triplets.  
And my husband is a twin.  Does this mean I could have twins?  Does my
husband being a twin have anything to do with our chances of having
twins?

Name help

Looking for some web help on names. This is our first so we’d like to get it
right. I have a couple of restrictions on a boys name(hey i have parents).
The  first name has to start with an R and the middle name is well
Christopher. My grandfather, my dad and myself are all R.C.R.  and all of us
are Christopher. So lets play the name game. One last restriction no
ronalds,reginalds or rolands( hey we’re picky).

Any opinions on Ryan Christopher (nickname for ryan?)

As for a girl’s name we’d like help also. Hey it’s wide open  there. We had
wanted to try to include Genevieve(spelling,her grandmother’s name) but we
haven’t be able to get it to sound right with a middle or first name. here’s
what we do have though.

Marisa Christina or Megan Christina.

I really look forward to your response and want to also know are there any
guys out there who belong to a mommy’s due date group or would a mommy’s due
group accept me into their mailing group. Our due date is Jan 2 by the doc
but the sonogram machine says Dec 30(hoping for a deduction) and well the
baby’s not talking.

Enjoy,

Medical Conditions and Pregnancy

I would like to hear from others who are dealing with medical conditions
during their pregnancies. I am an insulin dependent diabetic but I would
like to hear from anyone who has a condition that makes pregnancy a little
more work and a little more stressful! :)
