10 Weeks

This is not fun. It's not even a little fun.
Can you take antidepressants while pregnant? Because I need some.
I can't stop the tears.
It'll get better, right?
All these hormones will straighten out eventually. I'll stop feeling sick. I'll have some ambition and energy to actually the things that need to be done.
Because right now it just sucks. I should be happy. I should be excited and getting attached to "it". But I'm not. I'm just scared and can't stop crying.
I felt this way with Lilly too, and of course I love her to death. So, it'll probably be fine with this one too.
I took the Intelligender test this morning. It said Boy. So, there is an 82% chance this baby is a boy. That really scares me. I only know girls. I have a sister. I have a daughter. I'm very close to my mother. I bairly know my father. I never had a brother or friends that were boys.
Boys? Yeah, I don't know about boys. So, please tell me the great things about boys because I need a little cheering up.

I am sorry that you aren't feeling good. I think we must forget how hard pregnancy is. It's hard. But good thing it isn't permanent.
As for boys...well, boys are awesome. I don't know anything about girls, but Babboo seems to be a lot of fun. He loves his mommy and loves balls and golf and books. But he also loves his stuffed animals and reading in bed.
Oh, and I think at some point I have to teach him to pee standing up!!
Here's hoping you feel better soon! -

I'm so sorry you're feeling so rough too - sending good thoughts your way. I don't have experience of pregnancy or motherhood but I have worked in nurseries and can tell you that although boys and girls are different they are both as cool as the other in their own ways. Girls are gentler and like pretty things like dressing up but the boys have a great sense of adventure and their imagination can run wild (in a good way). And as they get older they become very protective of those around them - so if you do have a boy you can be pretty sure Lily will always have a brother to look out for her!
I'd say one thing though - at the very beginning there isn't really any difference between looking after a girl and a boy baby and that gives you plenty of time to get used to the personality of the new baby as it develops.
Hope this helps in some way - sending you lots of love and cyber hugs. -

Awww, so sorry you aren't feeling good yet. I don't know if this is any consolation, but i was TERRIFIED with my last 2 children. As you know they are fine. As for meds, it's been known to be ok, (not without it's potential side effects, i believe cardiac being the biggest, there are new age drugs, lower S/E and whatnot) after the 1st trimester. I am thinking it's just hormonal for now, but you are your best judge and this is your therapeutic outlet ;)
Boys, I love em~ My first was a girl and honestly i wanted nothing to do with boys but my 2nd was a boy, and i had no idea what to do at first, but you quickly learn! I think if anything they are more attached. You'll love the baby no matter what~!
