Puke, Names, & Bumps

I was having a good day yesterday, food wise.... eating greens and veggies, actually had an appetite... then went to lunch for some rice and beans (I'm a vegetarian)... I park my car under a nice big tree with shade, start eating, but then started to feel pain in my stomach like it was in a knot, so I had to stop eating. Then I was on the phone with Pablo catching up... hung up after a few minutes, and then.... PUKE. Everything I had eaten in the whole day came rushing back up. :( This is the worse feeling ever. I hate throwing up. Hate it hate it hate it! Then realizing that this basically made it as if I hadn't eaten anything all day as far as the babies go... I got really sad and started crying, feeling like a crap mom. I went back to work to try to get through the day (we have a lot of stuff going on and I don't like to leave early) But then after a while I started to feel bad again, so I just went home. Was so scared of throwing up again in the car while driving, but thankfully I didn't. After I got home, Pablo got here and he made me soup and I just laid in bed the whole rest of the day and night.

While we're just here we start talking about names for the babies, since we don't have any boy names really... so we start looking online for baby naming ideas... Don't find anything we like though. Finally, after much debating, we got all four names down (no thanks to the online naming things). Here they are:

Girl A: Luna Vale Arellano
Girl B: Gaia Lily Arellano
Boy A: Emiliano Alexander Arellano
Boy B: Orion Constantine Arellano

So those are the names. Not sure when we'll find out what the sex of the babies are.... I go for a big ultrasound tomorrow in the morning.. The dreaded nuchal translucency screening. I'm not sure why I'm even taking it. I don't think I could end the pregnancy if there was something "wrong" or "different" So as of now I'm just doing it to get to see the babies again. From what they told me they'll focus in on each baby for 20 to 30 minutes. YAY! I read somewhere that you might be able to determine the sex of the babies at the end of 11 weeks, which is where I'll be tomorrow... So we'll see. *fingers crossed* for well developed cooperative babies.

And finally... while taking a shower last night I noticed that there's definitely a bump on my tummy. Now, I was overweight to begin with when I got pregnant, so I know it'll be harder for it to show on me... but there's definitely a bump... Or a more pronounced bump. It looks so strange. Even when I was laying down I couldn't stop looking at it. Suppose it just makes the whole thing seem more real. Eeeeee little leeches in my tummy!!!!!!! Can't wait to see them tomorrow. Make the day go faster please!!!!

Ok... Now it's off to work and hoping I don't throw up again. The leeches need their nutrition dammit.
