Hellobee Boards

Not an April mama but want to say congrats must have missed this on the TTC board

Hahaha I'm so blonde sometimes I did tell you congrats already excuse me I think I'm getting the pregnancy brain kicking in early

Just want to pop in and say congrats to the April mamas and I can't believe this was me a year ago! It feels like a lifetime but goes so quickly.

Congrats!!! Hope to be joining you here but only time will tell...

Yay April '14 mommys! It seems so far away! I'm hoping to join this group if I'm lucky. Only time will tell...

@LovelyPlum: I can't even express how very very happy that you are on this board and am hoping so extremely hard that this will be your home until next April!!

@LovelyPlum: I'm pretty ok still. I went through a thirsty and gassy phase (awesome), today has been sore boobs, a little crampy, and midafternoon tired. But really if that's it, I will not complain. Even if it makes me question, "am I reeeally still pregnant? Are you just making all this up in your head?"

@LovelyPlum: I knoooow. My mom said she wasn't ever sick w me.. Any chance I can rely on heredity? That would be a great gift!

@HazelEyes: I hope so! My mom had super easy pregnancies.

@luckypenny: I'm getting my PhD! Hope to teach at a college level when I'm done. I'm only in my second year, though, so still 4 more left to go, if I'm lucky!

@luckypenny: not sure yet. I have another blood draw on Monday, and we will schedule it when those results come in. I suspect it will be during the second week of August, so around 6 weeks, with possibly more blood work before that. Last time, I went in at 6 weeks and there was no baby, so I think we will keep a closer eye this time.

But don't you worry, I'm the crazy lady that has talked to the office twice already since I got my evap on Thursday. Yeah...

@luckypenny: so I'm guessing paranoia is part of the process??? Despite having taken 4 tests I'm scared to feel it's real - but the fatigue and nausea bring me back to earth hahaha

I'm right on the March/April line, so im copying my answers from the March mamas bc I'm straddling both

What You're Most Scared About: everything! Hiding it for the first tri (stupid no drinking is going to give me away .. Not that I drink a ton, but I'm usually game for a glass of wine w friends...

Trying not to let my anxiety get too out of control.

@cmbknyc: thank you! And welcome!

@HazelEyes: I'm glad you're hanging out here, too

Got my blood draw this morning bright and early...hoping to know results this afternoon! I'm feeling a little better about the whole thing, because I used my last FRER yesterday, and I got a line darker than I've ever had on a test. So, I'm.still nervous, but for reasons unknown, I'm feeling at peace and confident about this pregnancy. I have no idea why...it is completely out of character for me

Has morning sickness visited anyone else yet? It is hitting me hard..came at 3 w, 5 d. Wasn't that nice of it?

@luckypenny: every pregnancy is different! I am so hopeful that your appointment brings only good news!

@LovelyPlum: Me too no real nausea yet, but felt a little iffy when I ate breakfast, so hoping really hard that it is not a preview of coming attractions...

@luckypenny: they didn't come in before the office closed! Sadness.
