Lairdoz, thanks. It's good to know others do wait a bit longer than that "end of 1st trimester" milestone that so many people get caught up on. I think mum's taking it hard because she expected to be able to tell at 12 weeks. And I get really worked up about the name thing so it's not just you. As for the cold, I have no idea. I took polaramine while my nose was all blocked up and that was great for 2 whole nights and then everything changed and now I can't take anything to relieve the symptoms. If I weren't pg I'd be taking a mucolytic, but I suspect that something which thins mucous isn't a good idea right now. It does slowly seem to be improving, but it's been just over a week now.

Leabie, good to hear you had a great weekend! My sister got married in the Hunter in Feb and it's just gorgeous. Congratulations on your anniversary! It's funny you say that about letting your parents tell two friends. I almost suggest mum could tell one friend (my BFF's mum), but then I remembered my BFF saying her mum was a blabbermouth and decided against it. Also, my BFF's brother has a habit of posting unwanted comments on my facebook profile and he still lives with his parents (I changed my settings so he can't write on my profile after one comment too many, but I know he sometimes uses his mum's profile).

Well, DH just pulled a "Fine. Whatever." type moment. He's sick of hearing about it so she can tell who she wants. Of course, now I'm ticked off at him changing his mind just to shut me up.... Gotta love pg hormones!!

Worrywart, you posted while I was writing. Sorry to hear about the casserole. I don't think you're being melodramatic (unless I am too). The name we picked out has been something like a talisman for us to hold on to through 3.5 years of TTC. I even named my blog for it. It's not just some name; it's the name of our daughter. And if we only ever have boys, then it will always be the name of the daughter we never had.
