Hellobee Boards

Thanks! I was hoping not to be here but only because that means being pregnant for longer! Lol. Oh well! At least we get to share our holiday babies!

@Mrs Hedgehog: Congrats and welcome! That is quite a change. Do they think you ovulated late?

@Mrs Hedgehog: how can they tell that??

@Mrs Hedgehog: wow that's crazy!! very exciting either way. I am PRAYING I am not as late with this pregnancy as with my last (9 days but in the heat of June). I must day I kind of like being due the early end of the month (10) instead of end of the month (last time - 24). I was "supposed" to have a May baby but had a June baby which messed with me head. I can guarantee I will have a December baby (unless they come early!)

@Mrs Hedgehog: Comgrats and welcome!

Mamas who are on baby 2+ - anyone showing yet? I am SO bloated and already in maternity jeans for comfort. I feel ridiculous!

@maybebaby: I agree about being due earlier in the month. Last time I was due July 30 so I figured baby would probably be born in August- but she came a day early anyway. This time I'm hoping it is a week or so early just to keep the baby and Christmas a little separate. But, the later it comes the more likely my mom, who is a teacher, could come take care of C, since I'm currently at a loss of what we will do with her while I'm in the hospital. Dh offered to stay home and call an uber for me to get to the hospital- thanks but no thanks.

@Foodnerd81: haha! Yeah, no...luckily we have a lot of local friends with kids who would take jack for a sleepover in a pinch. I don't even want to consider these logisitics yet.

@HappyBluebird: Yay for a good ultrasound! Hopefully the MS will ease up soon!

@Mrs Hedgehog: Welcome and congrats!!!!!

@maybebaby: I definitely feel bloated. No maternity gear yet but it'll be a lot sooner this time around!

As for due dates, I am REALLY hoping that this one does not come early for work purposes. If I make it until Christmas Break without starting my FMLA then I'll get paid for the break (2 weeks of pay is quite a bit!). In the end, we'd figure it out of course. On the other end, I don't want to get too close to Christmas so yeah, my due date would be a nice delivery date!

I'm definitely not showing yet, but I get very bloated in the evening- like I had to loosen my belt a notch at dinner two days before I even found out I was pregnant (perhaps that should have been a clue). I wear yoga pants so much anyway, and rarely wear anything really fitted, so I should be ok without mat clothes for a while. However- I was remembering some of my maternity clothes that I really liked and am kind of excited to wear them again!

Hopefully this isn't going into tmi territory, but... My boobs aren't super sore yet- which they were last time- but I already am seeing white dots on my nipples (which I now know are the milk ducts). I wonder if this is happening so quickly since I weaned so recently (as in one week after conception was her last nursing session). It's a little bizarre.

@maybebaby: of my closest friends in my neighborhood, one is pregnant and die a month before me, so I don't expect she will be up for another kid to watch, and the other has been trying to get pregnant for six months already- hopefully it happens soon, in which case she will be super pregnant. But they probably could take c overnight at least. My Bil is nearby but he works, of course. Trying not to think about it too much right now.

@Yogini bee: Welcome and congrats!

My boobs are usually sore at night, and are all veiny. No real MS yet, just a weird juxtaposition of lack of appetite and hunger (like my stomach is growling but food is just bleh). Well, I did nearly throw up this morning, but E had a bad blowout in his diaper this morning...poop from his back to his belly button, and I was trying to wipe it all off and gagging the whole time.

December mamas! Any interest in creating a private/closed (no one can see you are in it, you can only join by invite only) Facebook group? I was in a FB group for my May 2013 due date and it was so much easier to chat and search old "threads" and keep up to date/share pictures and get to know one another without fear of someone "finding" you. Let me know your thoughts, and I can set up! In terms of adding, we would need to be Facebook friends for me to add so you could wall me (and then delete) your name and location to get started.

Edit: It wouldn't need to replace this group, but could be used for pictures/more sensitive stuff, etc.

@lovehoneybee: yeah that kind of poop makes me gag on my best, non pregnant day!

@maybebaby: I'm in! Are we friends on FB already? I know I have a lot of bees on there but sometimes I can't remember who is who!

@lovehoneybee: we are not! on IG though PM me your name/location.
@Pirouette: ONLY you can see it - it not just "closed" but secret, which means it isn't even searchable!

@Pirouette: I'm super excited to announce...still trying to come up with a cool way to do it Kind of want to do the staged picture set up...but have it set to video...and say "we're pregnant!" and capture reactions. But wondering about logistics. Any one have cool rec's for announcing to family?

@Foodnerd81: I hear ya on the evening bloat. It's bad over here!

@maybebaby: I'm interested in joining too! (Lame question...how do i PM?)

@shortiecake: you can post on my wall. If you're not gold you may want to delete it after we've connected

@maybebaby: I'm in for facebook. I will pm you.

Well yesterday gave me a new respect for people with HG. It was rough! I am glad it was a virus and has passed and I don't have to deal with months of it. Dh has it today.

I am worried I don't have enough symptoms and might try and get my ultrasound moved up. Boobs have been getting less sore.

@shortiecake: Click on the user and then wall

@shortiecake: that's a great plan! We just basically blurted it out the first time around

@Running Elley: I do, but not like I used to... I used to run 4-5 miles every morning and fast (7:15 minute miles), but now I run a few days a week after work and on the weekends, 3-4 miles and wayyyy slower. Mostly because I just don't have the energy due to lo. Trying to get back to it though - the miles, definitely not speed!

Gosh I've missed a lot since Wednesday! @LoveHoneyBee @AprilFool @HappyBlueBird @Mrs.Taco @Mrstiz @Pirouette Thank you all for making me feel like I'm not alone with my apparent lack of attachment! lol

@MaybeBaby I'm in on the FB group.

Love all the names, my only problem is as soon as I pick a nice old fashioned name it becomes popular and I don't want my kid going to school with 10 others with the same name!
