So when the "What do you want for Christmas" thread was posted, I said I wanted an embryo stuck firmly to the walls of my uterus, and by God I got one. I'm six weeks gone. Merry Christmas! Jane

Congratulations, Jane. You're in for it now. ;-)...Get ready for a fun fun time! Merry Christmas!

Yay! That's the best gift I've heard of yet. So now we know, when it's time to conceive, posting in Gwen's forum is the magic key to successful fertilization. Congratulations Jane!

Hey, I think Dwanollah would be a MUCH nicer name than Jesus.... :)

Many congrats, Jane! Saltine crackers and Coke will help the nausea....

Dwanollah? Gimme a break! That's a silly name for a boy. He should have a manly name...like, uhmm...Michael or James or Paul. Congratulations, Jane. Does your husband have any suspects? (Just jokin')

I'll echo the saltines for nausea, and puh-lenty of sleep helps wonders if you've got a rumbly in the tumbly. That is so wicked awesome! I found out boxing day 1995 that I was knocked up. Let's see a Chia Pet beat that!

Yay for you and the husband and the bambino. Yay, yay, yay.

*tossing head* Oh, yeah, like "Bubba" is a manly name? I think you're just afraid that, like Skyler/Schuyler or Dakota, "Dwanollah" will become THE hot, trendy, asexual name of the year 2001! So unique, yet so sophisticated... so unusual, yet so rooted in tradition... and so aurelly pleasing....

Nyah nyah nyah!

Well, okay, Dwanollah. But he better be tougher than boiled owl shit. Ask Evander Holyfield about that. He had to learn some serious whoopass to survive the third grade. (I like your name, it is unique, but it seems distictly feminine. As for Bubba...well it's friendly, rather than macho. A term of endearment, dear.)

Congratulations Jane! I think we should give you a little more time, and then we'll start posting the names you get to choose from :) For now, really enjoy the moments. You can hear the heart beat at around 10 weeks, in another month. It's awesome. Take good care of yourself and your baby.

Woo hoo! Congratulations again. May you not have need of saltines for you shall be free of morning sickness! I vote for Chris, Noel, or Carol since this is your Chrismas present.

Hooray for Jane's zygote! Woo woo! Man, I love kiddies. If it's a girl, do not name it Mallory. It's unique enough to be too conspicuous but there are enough Mallorys in the world to make you feel like just another Mallory. If she's a girl, name her Chloe or Danielle or Emily or Phoebe. If it's a boy, name him Brian or Aaron or Brett...anything but Bubbba, anyway.

Congratulations and more congratulations! I wish you the sweetest of joy!
