Not much is happening so far. Feeling sick at nights mostly. I'm kind of queasy in the mornings but it gets bad around 9pm or so. Blech! So far no vomiting, so I guess I'm getting lucky. Headaches are a daily occurrence and I'm exhausted! I seriously could have Mason's sleep schedule and be fine. Awake 5 hours, take a three hour nap, awake 6 hours, and sleep 10 hours. Sounds perfect! lol.
We have been throwing around names for our little Rainbow. I think if it's boy it will be Oliver. I'm personally fighting for Amelia for a girl but Cody wants Coraline. Whatever happened to Olivia? lol. Middle names are still very much in the air. We probably won't come up with middle names until we know for sure the sex of the baby. This kid might now have a name.... ever! LOL!
I'm still waiting on my hcg levels that they drew on Friday. I'm going to call in a minute and leave a message for the nurse to call me back. 'sigh'. I just REALLY want to know this little one is developing normally. I find myself getting attached. Part of me doesn't WANT to get attached just because of fear of heartbreak again, but this baby deserves a good beginning too.
Oh we are also still trying to decide if I should get the swine flu vaccine. Cody doesn't think I should. I'm still in the air. I did read something that caught my attention. It said that the vaccine is not for children under 2. Is not a fetus under the age of 2? Good point right? lol. I'm leaning towards NOT getting it. I just know whatever decision I make, it will be the wrong one.
What is a Rainbow Baby?
In some circles, babies born to families after the loss of a child are referred to as "Rainbow Babies." The idea is that the baby is like a rainbow after a storm. "Rainbow Babies" is the understanding that the beauty of a rainbow does not negate the ravages of the storm. When a rainbow appears, it doesn't mean the storm never happened or that the family is not still dealing with its aftermath. What it means is that something beautiful and full of light has appeared in the midst of the darkness and clouds. Storm clouds may still hover but the rainbow provides a counterbalance of color, energy and hope.
