Hi guys...

Much thanks! Dina has really enjoyed reading (and laughing) at all the great comments.. She is having a tough time with morning sickness, more like all-day sickness.. Lots of nausea..

She had no morning sickness at all with our first (which was a boy) so she is convinced this is a girl...

Got any names picked out yet?

Since she is *convinced* it is a girl, the top names so far are:

Jennifer
Gabrielle (I don't like this one)
Amanda

FWIW, she was convinced our first would be a girl too.. she even went as far as dangling a ring from a string over her belly.. If it turned one way --boy-- the other -- girl --... It turned in the direction of a girl and I was happy when I got to say "I told you so" at how silly that was... Then again, I recently purchase a magical clock that makes every sound system in my home sound much better

Sorry to hear about the morning sickness. My wife had a similar all-day sickness experience. She recommends wristbands. You can get them at most pharmacies. They have a bead that puts pressure on the wrist and nausea is diminhed.

I vote girl, 8#, 1 oz.

Can't help you with the morning sickness but I've got the name figured out; Amanda. Try saying the whole name. It just rolls off the tongue. BTW my wife was supposed to have an Erin but ended up having a Tom. But what did they know back in 1974?

Tell your wife not to hope for a girl too much. My Mom wanted a girl so bad...she ended up with three boys.

I like both Amanda and Jennifer, but I lean toward Jennifer because you can say "Jen" or "Jenny" for short.
