Logical?
What say you guys?
I'm "coming out" to work after my 17w1d ultrasound.
I won't be working with my student next year.
I think he deserves to know with the rest of the staff for these reasons.
I'll post on facebook that night and his mom is on my facebook. I don't know if she can keep the secret.
My friend M's little sister is in grade 7 in the same school and I don't know if she'll talk but I told M she can tell her sisters after I tell the staff.
I won't be working with him and there's nosy ladies who will be all "who's working with him next year".
The ones who will actually be working with him next year will probably find out around the same time and I don't trust them not to stop him in the hall and talk to him about them working with him next year.
So that's M's sister, the 2 staff that will work with him, his mom and numerous other staff who might tell him or talk to me when he's in earshot that have the opportunity to blab to him if I don't tell him right away.
Also, when would you tell those family members on facebook. They don't deserve to find out with the rest of the world when I post it on facebook... but at the same time, I'd love for them to just find out then because the more people that know before, the more people that can say something obvious on my subtle facebook messages.

Tales from the Doppler
Yesterday: DH found baby and all. It was a faded HB for a while and we were talking about the baby and DH was calling the baby a "he". Then the HB got stronger and he calls baby a show off lol. So he passed the doppler to me and I tried. Couldn't find it. So he finds it and hands the doppler to me while it's already got the baby on it. Baby moves and HB disappears (or I suck at finding it). Then DH gets it back and it stays strong. So I told him, see it's a girl. She's a daddy's girl. :)
Today: Similar to yesterday except baby kept moving slightly away from the doppler. Finally we got him/her pinned down and it was nice and strong!

Maternity Clothes
So far I've spent about $35 on maternity clothes and I have:
- one pair full panel shorts
- one pair mid rise (uncomfy for now) jeans (bought for last pregnancy)
- two cream 3/4 sleeve shirts (one for my "Does this baby make me look fat?" announcement shirt)
- one white t-shirt
- one organic cotton maternity/nursing shirt (free from a blog giveaway)
- two 3/4 sleeve work shirts (one black/white patterned and the other brown/tan patterned)
My yoga pants will probably fit over/under the belly the whole pregnancy as well... lululemon ftw!

12 weeks
The beginning of the "am I first or second trimester" period. By next week I'll consider myself 2nd trimester even though this period ends at the end of week 14 I think.
Nausea has been pretty intense lately. If I'm not eating, I'm nauseous (while at home).
How your baby's growing:
The most dramatic development this week: reflexes. Your baby's fingers will soon begin to open and close, his toes will curl, his eye muscles will clench, and his mouth will make sucking movements. In fact, if you prod your abdomen, your baby will squirm in response, although you won't be able to feel it. His intestines, which have grown so fast that they protrude into the umbilical cord, will start to move into his abdominal cavity about now, and his kidneys will begin excreting urine into his bladder.
Meanwhile, nerve cells are multiplying rapidly, and in your baby's brain, synapses are forming furiously. His face looks unquestionably human: His eyes have moved from the sides to the front of his head, and his ears are right where they should be. From crown to rump, your baby-to-be is just over 2 inches long (about the size of a lime) and weighs half an ounce.
Your uterus has grown to the point where your healthcare provider can now feel the top of it (the fundus) low in your abdomen, just above your pubic bone. You may already be into maternity clothes, especially if this isn't your first pregnancy. If you're still fairly small and not yet ready for maternity clothes, you've no doubt noticed that your waist is thickening and that you're more comfortable in loose, less restrictive clothing.
You may begin to feel heartburn (also called acid indigestion), a burning sensation that often extends from the bottom of your breastbone to your lower throat. Many women get heartburn for the first time during pregnancy, and those who've previously had bouts of heartburn may find that it gets worse. During pregnancy, the placenta produces a lot of the hormone progesterone, which relaxes the valve that separates the esophagus from the stomach. Particularly when you're lying down, gastric acid can seep back up the pipe, which causes the uncomfortable burning sensation. For many women the problem doesn't begin (or get worse) until later in pregnancy, when your growing uterus starts to push up on your stomach. The discomfort may range from mildly annoying to intense and distracting.
