Hey Angie,
That is so awesome, congratulations.  I like the name Roman for a boy, personally.

Try chewing on fresh ginger, works really well.
Best,

Angie,

Congratulations!  What great news to start the new year!

I can totally understand where your head is at right now.  I'm currently 29 weeks pregnant with #3 - also a SURPRISE!  And I can't help with names - we didn't find out the sex of this baby, and we're still completely stumped for names.  Well, we do have some ideas for girls, but we've already named 2 boys and are running out of ideas for that side of things.

As for the nausea, it's awful isn't it?  Ginger in many forms works for some, seasickness bands (that you wear like a bracelet) work for some, vitamin B6 supplements work for some.  I hope you feel better soon.  I found the exhaustion in the first trimester to be especially rough, too, since I'm home with my 2 very active boys.  Not much time for sleeping when they're running around!

Again, congratulations!

Katie

Congratulations Angie!
How lovely to hear the news of a little pretty baby! It is the best gift of all. I still remember how happy I was all three times when I realized that I was pregnant.

I can't help you with a name because I think that all of them were great. My children's names are Tim, Elinor and Oliver. Not very Swedish names, but we love them.

I'm sure that you will heal better and faster while thinking of getting a baby. Waiting for a new little life is better than waiting for a surgery. I wish I was waiting for a baby instead of an AN surgery  :)

Take care of yourself and rest.

The best to you from
