It's A Girl :D
Finally found out at the 3rd ultrasound that we are having a girl! I was sooooo convinced it was a boy as was everyone else, but a girl it is, and she will be here around October 15th 
(At the last ultrasound her hands were over her "private parts" - convincing us even more it was a boy 
)
We are going to call her Ava Loren (the Loren part for the middle name goes back to my husband's family names) which I think is sufficently normal and pretty too
Now if I can just get through the rest of this pregnancy without the damn MS playing up too bad I will be one happy chick! Decided to start temping, since insurance is no longer an issue, I was able to quit the job from hell and this is soooo much more flexible and pretty close money wise. So I got to work in a bunch of different places lately where I picked up some more experience and now I am in a long term assignment in an awesome company who are perfectly willing to have me back a few months after she is born, so it sure worked out pretty well.
Just thought I would mention the temping side of things, because I recall that there were a few posts a while back about seeking employment - it may be a pretty good stop gap for a lot of people to make a few bucks until the right job comes along - not to mention its a good way to get your foot in the door and see what a place is like before you commit to working there!

Congratulations on your news!
I too am expecting -- a little boy in October! I haven't really been able to post on here in ages because of my morning sickness, but I think I am finally over the worst. Anyway, nice to hear I am not the only one knocked up on here!!!

Re: It's A Girl :D
Does anyone remember about twenty years ago there were coffee mugs that said "I'd rather be 40 than pregnant"? A lot of the hardened lacquered women who worked where I worked when I was aged 18, had these mugs and they drank coffee all day and chain smoked.
Now it is entirely possible to be 40 AND pregnant! :scared:
