A woman I work with recently found out I was pregnant, and her response was “I knew it”. I assumed that she was gossiping with two other co-workers, because before I announced it at work they were guessing I was pregnant. But the woman, Sue, said nope, I probably knew the moment you conceived. It’s just this thing she has, she knows when people are pregnant. Sue then went on to tell me that she also (thinks she) knows the weight and name (and the gender) of the baby and is going to write it down and see if she is right. Insane right?

I was in such shock when she told me that. I mean I guess you can always guess at the weight, and gender, but to say that you even have a name in mind is pretty crazy and cool if she was right. In my mind I’m like hey, maybe she should just tell me the name and then we don’t have to decide! But really I want to wait to hear it until we have the baby and then I tell her. She already told me she won’t tell me (which is good), but now every time I see her I will want to ask!

Do you think people can actually know things like that? A different co-worker also told me that she knows this guy who can walk by a woman and knows the gender of her baby, with 99% accuracy. Is that really possible? How can someone just know? People say there are clues, but to be right 99% of the time is pretty nuts.

This week I’m 12 weeks pregnant (as of Monday July 6th). And still feeling sick. I am throwing up every morning basically as soon as I’m awake, and there is no stopping it. So pretty much that sucks, but I’ll get through it. Everyone keeps saying, it’s worth it. And obv I know it’s worth it, but man it sucks! I find that I can eat mostly everything, but in really small portions, and I still get grossed out by hamburgers and now I can add bananas to that list.

I can tell that my body is changing, and I’ve been taking belly photos but the little bump is totally not a real baby bump, it’s just a bloat bump. All my clothes fit as normal, although I am more comfortable in stretchy clothes, they aren’t really necessary at this point. I must admit that I bought maternity pants a few weeks ago. I was very hesitant to try them on but by the urging of a pregnant friend (who is 3 weeks ahead of me!) I tried them on and loved them. So I’m not really wearing them yet, but they are an option for later on.

I skipped posting a few weeks in there, because they all look the same, however slllowwllyy things are changing!

Also to answer some questions from my first post.
Laura- yes that is my pee stick.
Kasia- we are going to wait to find out the gender. However I’m realizing that this may kill me because I feel like I can’t buy any clothes because either I love all the girly ones or the really boyish ones.
doahleigh- yes, this is the first Baby Blonde! This will be the first grandchild for both sets of parents and the first great-grandchild for most of the grandparents.
