  Hey Hope,
  Your boyfriend or ex boyfriend is a jerk.  He helped make the baby, I think that regardless of whether or not it is planned, he should do the responsible thing and be a father to his child.  But in the end you don't need him.
  As for the morning sickness, eat a couple of crackers before getting out of the bed and see if that helps.  It seemed to help me.
  I am trying to remember all the things.  It is said if you have a lot of heartburn your baby will be born with a lot of hair.  If you carry your baby more in front then it will be a girl, if you carry your baby low, then it will be a boy.  I have found that boys are more active than girls. If I can think of some more I will tell you.
  One of the most wonderful books that is out there to help you, it's called "What to expect when you're expecting".  Do you work?  Is anyone helping you financially?

  I'm sorry taht he's being a jerk. My mom faced the same thing when she was pregnant with me. My biological father was the same way. I'm sorry that he's being that way. Just focus on your health and the baby. As for morning sickness, ginger helps. So do saltines in the morning before you get out of bed. THe old wives tales I've heard are the same as the pp, but I've also heard the sicker you are the more likely it is to be a girl because her hormones are clashing with yours. I hada boy and very little to no morning sickness, so I'm not sure if that is true. Try this chinese gender predictor: http://www.obfocus.com/calculators/gender.htm. I did this, and it was right. I had a boy. It's just something fun to see if it will be right. Good luck.

  I am currently reading "What to Expect When You're Expecting." My mom bought it for me as soon as I said I was pregnant.It is very useful. Mom : Yes I do work and I am ok financially.I actually own my own home as well.Thank you for your concern, you are so sweet.I have a huge supportive family as well.They are so funny.They want me to already decide on a theme for the baby's nursery so they can all start buying stuff.It's been a while since we've had a baby in the family.It's so great that they are all so excited.I am so lucky. :)

  I am really relieved that you are financially ok and that you have a family that is so supportive.  So have you decided on a theme?  Also if you are given the choice to have a ultrasound done and be told the sex of the baby, do you think you would want to know or do you want it to be a surprise?

  Hey like everyone else I'm sorry about your ex not being supportive and great line about how can someone continue to be so dissapointing.  As for the Christian at work well he had the wrong attitude.  I'm a christian and while yes it would be great that you were married it doesn't always work out that way.  His response should have simply been to possibly tell you that he wishes the best for you and keep you in his prayers.  His attitude stinks and is very judgemental as if he were perfect and he is not.  Sounds like you are a very confident and strong woman and you are handling this with a lot of poise.  I'ts great that you have a supportive family so just let me say that I also wish you the best and will keep you and little one in my prayers.

  You're right to concentrate on the baby instead of your ex. He may come around as the pregnancy progresses but that's his thing to deal with, not yours. You've got bigger things on your mind.
  
  I felt sick all through my pregnancy with Bear. It drove me completely nuts. The only thing that worked for me was cola. Something about the carbon in it according to one of my friends, but it worked for me.
