as it should with a second beta at 1402! I just had to see one of those little tests work for my self, there was a point I just thought they didn't work and it wasn't me. I think that also explains my seemingly all day "morning sickness". It actually started last Monday but I thought it was nerves about finding out and going back to work after 2 weeks off. I still keep thinking its too early but after going out to dinner with DH's family last night and dry heaving in the bathroom I'm a little more convinced! I actually couldn't stomach any of my food:( So, DH and I decided to tell them! His mom is out of the country this week for work but everyone else was so excited. We did preface it with "it is early, so if all goes well..." Even though we just found out with the high beta number I feel ok about it, plus it was DH birthday and his little brother was home from school for the week. My SIL and BIL are really excited to have a cousin so close in age to their little one due in June, they will be less than 3 mo apart. His mom gets back next week so I think we will buy DH favorite book for his child hood and wrap it up as a "late Christmas present" and write a note in it from the baby. I think that is how we will tell my parents too.
So, there must always be a dilemma~ they are due in June and are not finding out if the baby is a boy or girl. I *must* find out what we are having when the time is right! It is totally personal preference, but I really want to make the room a boy or a girl room! Ok, the dilemma part~ it sound like the are keeping names quiet. Well, what if we have the same names picked out? I have a couple girl name and not sure on boy names but I want to be able to pick a name before her due date in June. I'm afraid I'm going to become attached to a name and if she takes it I'm going to be really hurt. In a few more months, once I'm well into my 2nd tri, is it alright to broach the subject with her?

I say, yes, for sure. My friend's SIL took her favorite name and she has never gotten over it, nor has she actually talked to her SIL about it. I think you should let her know what names you've decided on (once you're pretty certain) and run them by her. That way all she has to do is say that they aren't the names she wants to use without having to tell you what her names actually are. It's best to get it out... you don't want to harbor bitter feelings (especially about your neice or nephew).
So happy about your good news. Those first few weeks of being pregnant are quite amazing. I think I was still in shock until about 7 weeks when I saw the heartbeat. Then it felt more real.
Enjoy!
