Thanks to all who wished congrats. i am counting down weeks/days.
Hi jill,
Thanks and I had not heard of the name Hilmi. I'll ask my dh. i wonder
if it is a nickname or full name.
i like Samandar and Taj. But, DH does not.
Yakub or Yaqub is not bad.
 We still have Zariyaan. (pronounced like Zahr- ee - on).
Erin, It is quite strange because my DH and his sister both have LCA,
but no one else in his family has ever had it. He has two other sibs
that do not have it and a whole slew of cousins, etc.
I guess that means that our child will be a carrier. Honestly, DH
didn't know much about his disease. The doctors did not tell him much
-- just tried to cure him; which obviously didn't happen. I don't
think that he actually "knew the exact name of his eye disease until
he saw doctors from the USA. But, i could be wrong. What i do know is
that he knew very little about his eye disease.  I read that it was
uncommon for a child to have it unless both people are carriers. i
don't think that i am. But, honestly, i don't know much more about it
and was reluctant to do the genetic counseling thing because; well, it
already seemed like they were leaning to the "you might want to
terminate," and i just didn't need that stress.
Cravings:
It is strange that you mention hard Boiled eggs:
mine is Hard boiled eggs and ice cream right after.
or peanutbutter and cream cheese sandwiches.

V: from what i heard, the placenta doesn't move, right?
so, the baby just has to move, right?   The placenta is between me and
baby. i don't know, the tech didn't mention possible complications,
but maybe she would leave that up to the doctor.????

Carriers: the hard thing is that you can't try them for 1-2 hours to
see if they are going to hurt your back. And, you will have to put a
10lb of sugar or something in the carrier to simulate a baby before
buying.
