Oh, good news! Congratulations to you and Adam, Raquel. Wow, pregnancy seems to running around the boards! A little girl is a nice one to train on. Boys are a little more work! Try my trick with the seabands if you get morning sickness again!
Hard to believe our youngest grandson (picture posted above) is turning 1 on April 28.
You two will be great parents.
regards

Raquel, what great news! I'm so happy for you! We'll be mommies almost together (you beat me for some weeks).  When you bring your little girl to Brazil our babies can play together.  I still don't know the sex, but we must find out in some more weeks (Marcos says it'll be a girl - we'll see if he is right).  Thanks God I haven't felt morning sickness so far. But in the beginning I felt like sleeping the whole day, too. It was no fun. I hope you get better. Congratulations to you and Adam. I'm sure you'll be terrific parents.  Andreia

(Marcos says it'll be a girl - we'll see if he is right) Yeah, I was absolutely, 100 percent, totally convinced mine was a girl, too, until we went to the ultrasound and saw that SHE had testicles. I'm just saying. And a word of advice to the 2nd Tri girls: Get your sleep while you can. I seriously cannot sleep these days without waking up 5-10 times a night. And rolling from my back to my side takes a herculan effort. Get. A. Body. Pillow. Right now, I just may love it a little more than I love my husband.

Yes... It took me five years to get this 'waking-up-for-rolling-to-another-side' out of my system.

I 2nd a lot of the advice I read but don't feel like going back to say which ones. Ha! One of the side effects of pregnancy... laziness (i.e. fatigue). I can however, 2nd Jenn's suggestion of Mac N' Cheese. Mmmmmm... let me tell you. Kraft in a box is H.E.A.V.E.N.

It's not laziness! Gestating is very hard work! Your body is very busy building a whole new human being, after all... just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not taking up lots of energy.

Very True Pam. I really was just being lazy not wanting to go back and re-read all the advice. I just thought I would try and use being pregnant as my excuse. LOL

That is great, DJ! I'm happy for you!  Have you already chosen a name? That is harder than I thought it'd be.  Andreia

Congrats! Little girls are so much fun!
So, have you started looking at names yet? That can be the most frustrating part of having a baby, trust me. My husband is picking names this time for us and all he has so far is two first names, lol.

About the name thing, I am glad we're having a boy because while we easily decided on a name for him, if it had been a girl, coming to an agreement would have been a lot harder. Apparently the "it's coming out of me; I get the final say" reasoning doesn't work if you're not in a made-for-TV movie.
And may I add that the new bane of my existence is putting together baby gear? I swear that Satan works for Fisher-Price.

Hubby and I are still debating the name issue. We actually have it narrowed down to two names that we are going to put together, but it's the order of the names that's getting us. LOL!

I don't know if this is helpful or not, but one of my criteria on picking a name was that it was distinctive enough and short enough that when you yelled at a playground, your kid would know it's his name. That sort of leaves out the wildly popular names. If you yell "Rachel" and 20 kids come to you, it's not good.  I did draw the line on something like "Moon Unit Zappa" though. Word is she didn't particularly like that name. Then there is George Forman 1 through 20 or something. Remember your kid has to live with your decision! Artemis

I also reminded him that that last name is his, therefore the first and middle should be mine (my decision, anyway)! That being said, I wouldn't choose anything Daniel really didn't like. I value my pleasant marital relationship!
