Hellobee Boards

@Mrs. Taco: I'm kind of impatient so I might consider doing it if I knew I had to wait. For me it would be $40 well spent if it helped put my mind at ease a little!

@hummusgirl: Congrats!!

@Truth Bombs: Glad everything looked good!

@Mrs. Taco: I would probably do it. Don't think I'd be able to wait until 13 weeks without knowing anything!

@maybebaby- nope I won't be at Mommycon but it looks like a cool event!!

@Mrs. Taco: my midwives don't do an ultrasound until 12 or 13 weeks and I won't pay for an extra early one. I can see the appeal but for me it isn't necessary. But, if it means a lot to you, $40 isn't that much.

Still feeling good, just tired, here. Spilled the beans early to a close friend who told me she is also secretly pregnant!

@Truth Bombs: Yay for a good ultrasound! Must of been nice to see the bean

@lovehoneybee: I'm sorry about the car, and that you are feeling so crappy. At my first appt last time, when I told the midwife I felt awful and nauseous she was like, that's great! So it's a good sign but still sucks. Last time mine started at 6 weeks so I'm just enjoying one last week of feeling normal.

@Foodnerd81: I'm trying to remind myself it's a good thing, but I thought I'd at least get to spend my birthday weekend feeling moderately okay Not complaining if it means a healthy, viable pregnancy, but still...

And oh god the smells. I swear I could smell that Ev had peed in his diaper driving to daycare this morning! One of my coworker wives does Doterra oils, and made me a roll on bottle of peppermint oil. A lot of the applications I deal with smell bad with a non-pregnant nose, but right now they are making me gag. The peppermint definitely helps!

@lovehoneybee: Coffee! Yak! I feel the same way. I'm an every day coffee drinker, but haven't been able to even think about having a cup. Could explain why the fatigue hit me so hard this time around.

Morning sickness is so weird. I don't feel as nauseous as I did when I had the stomach bug, and I haven't even been close to throwing up, but it's just a vague queasy feeling. And pretty much no food sounds appetizing to me. My poor husband has been relying on take out almost every night because all I want for dinner is a bowl of cereal or peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I can't bring myself to cook anything except for mac n cheese so my toddler has had his fill of that! lol This really is my least favorite trimester. Nauseous, bloated, worried, and don't even have a cute bump to dress up.

@lovehoneybee: Ugh, sorry you feel crappy! I am doing the same thing I did last time, wishing I had more symptoms so I knew that things were "happening". But I know as soon as the MS pops up, I'm going to curse it. Sorry about everything that hasn't been going well but hopefully you'll still have a great weekend!

@skipper2010: "This really is my least favorite trimester. Nauseous, bloated, worried, and don't even have a cute bump to dress up." SPOT ON.

So I think I am going to go ahead and book the ultrasound at 7 weeks, that's 2 weeks before my next appt and 6 weeks before the NT scan so I think it'll be worth it for me. At this point, with the only symptom being exhaustion, I'd love to see a confirmation that there is actually a little bean in there!

@lovehoneybee: wow lots of #2s!

@Foodnerd81: @lovehoneybee: Oh the smell of poop is terrible at the moment! Feel sick just thinking about it.

@Mrs. Taco: 7 weeks is probably perfect. You will definitely see a heartbeat.

@skipper2010: That was my morning sickness last time. I ate nothing but carbs for the first 12 weeks. Vegetables were repulsive.

@lovehoneybee: Do you have any plans for your birthday?

I was a bit worried last night since I wasn't tired and my boobs were less sore but those symptoms are back this morning. Plus I took LO to the park this morning and all the spinning things made me feel so bad. I don't like waiting to see the bean!

@AprilFool: I have a salon appt in the morning--hair cut and pedicure. That's all I have planned. We'll probably go out to dinner--currently Mexican sounds great, but we'll see how I feel tomorrow. D was going to take me sky-diving, but that's been shelved for a while...

@Berly: glad the unisom + b6 has been helping you! I've taken it the past 3 nights and it's mostly taken the edge off. Wondering how many more weeks the m/s is going to last...

@lovehoneybee: DH and I are throwing around the idea of TG. This is our first so I figure it might add to the excitement. I know DH will be able to hold out for the surprise but I'm worried I might cave and want to find out!

@lovehoneybee: We were TG with my daughter and it was the best surprise ever!!! We found out with my son, because we knew we might lose him and wanted to know. Will definitely be TG again this time. Don't care either way, just want it to make it here safely!

Also, morning sickness is kicking my butt HARD. I can't eat any veggies or fruit. We are vegan, and I've been eating a lot of cheese this week because I have to eat what sounds good that exact moment or I feel awful.

I'm tentatively making an entrance here, even though I'm still in complete shock and not really believing this is real. Congrats to everyone! I obviously have some catching up to do.

Location: ny

EDD: around xmas (12/26 according to ovulation, 12/22 based on lmp), 12/26 is more accurate I think.

How far along: 4 weeks

First child? Second. In fact, second December baby (LO will be 2 in December!)

First doctor appointment: 5/12

Any symptoms so far? Does shock count? A little bit of excess saliva, which was my first symptom the first time.

Who have you told? Dh and my mommy group. This was unplanned so I need more time to process it

And we will not be tg! I don't have that willpower. But I already know it's a girl in my head

@Foodnerd81: thanks that's funny, I was 100% sure she was a boy too! So we might both be wrong! I thought I'd be dying to have a boy this time, but right now I'm good either way.

@lovehoneybee: Mexican does sound great! Shame about the sky diving. Hope you enjoy your day!

We will be TG even though we found out with our first. This is our last baby and I would like to experience that moment.

@Pirouette: Welcome! I was 100% sure #1 was a girl and I was right. Haha. Am 100% sure this one is a boy but we will see

@lovehoneybee: We'd like to be TG but not sure if DH and I could wait! We were thinking a gender reveal party with family & close friends. It would be a fantastic early surprise cutting into a cake with blue inside, or opening a box and pink glitter explodes around the room. My hunch is a boy.

@lovehoneybee: It's funny because I'm a little afraid of experiencing gender disappointment too since we have our boy and would love to experience a girl, but I'm leaning towards TG FOR that reason. My thought is I won't care what the sex is once I have a baby in my arms, but I see your point too. The thing is we found out with our first and the U/S tech was very nonchalant when she told us the sex so I didn't have that great of an experience with it. Randomly during the U/S she was just like "I think it's a boy...." It was fun buying clothes and planning a boy themed nursery, but I'd like to experience TG this time around. I just hope I can hold out!!

@AprilFool: I was just thinking about how I hate the fluctuating boob soreness! Mine are way less sore today. I remember this from my first pregnancy too, but still makes me worry a little.
