Paula -- yup, it worked, if you're on cycle day 7 today (Jan 3) and your temp was 36.1 If your cycle is strange for FF to figure out then it's best to just BD every other day all the time!

Lan -- Sorry this wasn't your month, hon. But you're just warming up! Yup, DH was pretty serious about how I'm not allowed to go down the stairs anymore until I'm fully awake, so he'll be letting the cats out from now on, heh. This morning I couldn't sleep because of sinus crap so I went downstairs at 5, but then I was like, "Okay, holding on to everything and making sure I'm flat on my feet on every step!" I couldn't have hit hard though because the only thing that ended up hurting at all is the arch in my left foot (it slammed into the railing) and only if I actually press on it with my hands. I even called the maternity ward just to make sure and they told me not to worry, but made a note about it.

And nope, it's not at all confirmed that Kebab is a boy. It's just because we've been using Kebab as a pet name that we tend to say "he"; otherwise it's still 50/50! I hope for a girl, but remember that I never said that if it ends up being a boy! Next scan is in 2-3 weeks if at all -- I have an appointment with the high risk OB in week 30 and I presume she'll do a scan. I'll have to squint so I don't see any winkies or not and spoil the surprise.

But we still haven't bought anything yet! This has been one major slacker vacation for us, but we're not going back to work until Wednesday Jan 7, so we've still got time to at least get the rearranging done and get the baby's room empty. At that point, filling it up will be easy.

This belly thing is starting to feel so funny. I really feel like there's just a big water balloon inside me -- which, of course, there is, but I wasn't expecting it to feel like that. It seems to live a life of its own, sloshing and sloshing around. It even went "bloop bubble bloop" once today when I sat down and I freaked out that the bag had popped or something :P Is this normal?
