Hellobee Boards

I'm torn on what to do about rooms, DS's room and the guest room are side by side and exactly the same size. DH wants to move Jack to the guest room so he doesn't have to move the baby monitor that is hard wired in.. but then we have to re-do two rooms. I'm not sure what we'll do yet

First room is what I'm thinking if we keep Jack in his room (he's got dark blue walls) so I'd do green + white bedding

If we move him he will end up with a Cowboys/Indian's type room or a camping theme like Moonrise Kingdom

Girl room would either be hot air balloons or a loosely based off of this blanket- gold, dark blue and dark pink

@sweetooth: thanks lady!

@MrsTiz: love the balloons! that room is adorable. i also love the name ben, i keep coming back to it in my brainstorming. Boys names i love so far are Andrew (Drew) and Ben.

I don't have an official names list yet, because DH and i won't discuss them until we know the sex. but i'm pretty sure this one is a girl, and the only other girl name we agreed on was Alexandra. so i guess that would be a contender this time, although i'm not sure if i still love it, at least not as much as LO's name. DH wasn't sure either haha. We'll have to go back to the drawing board!

Names are tough with us..... We have a Quinn, Bennett, and Everett. So, we have to have a double letter, and if it is a boy probably a double t at the end. If it is a girl we will name her Gemma or Tessa. We agreed on that when I was pregnant with our third. If it is a boy, man, I don't know! I kinda like the name Truett (plus that's the name of the guy who started Chick Fil A, and I would LOVE for my kid to be that successful!!!) but DH hates it!

The worst thing about being down under is this thread is always so active when I am sleeping!

@Mrs. Taco: I would switch. I think it is unacceptable for him to do an episiotomy without permission. I had one and my midwife told me what she needed to do and why. I felt safe. If he delivers you again will you feel you can trust him?

@MamaBehr: Happy Birthday!!

@MrsTiz: I think we will be done. I would like more but DH is firmly in the 2 only camp.

@lovehoneybee: Love Maxwell!

Our names are Willa London which is our left over girl name from H and Jack Gordon/Gordon Jack, both of which are family names (our grandfathers). We just need to decide which one goes first.

I have caught H's bug and I woke up feeling sooooo sick this morning. My belly is so off. It's 4:30am and we are watching toy story on the couch! I was supposed to have breakfast with a friend this morning and I was going to tell her but now I will have to wait.

@lovehoneybee: I love all of your names!! Especially Eloise *swooooon*

@MrsTiz: I think I'd go with your husband and move Jack to the other bedroom. I LOVE your theme for his big boy room and it would be the perfect excuse to do it!

I'm not sure what we'll be doing for rooms. We have a 3 bedroom house and right now the kids each have their own room. I think I'm leaning toward Elliot and Emmy sharing a room because they'll be older with more solid sleep schedules than the baby (obviously).

@MamaBehr: Bennett and Everett are both on my boy list too!

Ugh names are difficult. We have two E names now and we really want to have 4-5 kids. I didn't realize that my husband wanted to do an E name theme until I was pregnant with our second. Now I'm trying to convince him that more than 3 Es in a row will make us sound ridiculous and if we want to change our pattern we have to change it NOW with this baby. If we don't we'll be completely locked in

@MrsTiz: LOVE that camping themed room! It's pretty awesome.
@Running Elley: Welcome!

We haven't started thinking of names yet. We had a hard time coming up with a name for DS so I know it won't be easy.

Does anyone have appts coming up? My first prenatal is next Tuesday and I'll be 9 weeks at that point. I wonder if they'll try and listen for heartbeat by doppler. With my first I was 10 weeks at that appointment and we got to hear it, but 9 weeks might be too early.

@Running Elley: this is exactly how I ended up being the 3rd K of five Ks.

@MamaBehr: I forgot about Bennett! I love the name Ben but DH doesn't like Benjamin, so I'm adding that to the list

@Running Elley: Yayyy! Congrats! Another sweet little blondie running around? So exciting. Although I'm not sure BOB makes a triple jogging stroller

@MrsTiz: Love the room ideas. I totally forgot about how we're moving DD and I'll need to redo the room with a new bed since this LO will get her crib. Hmmmmm....

@AprilFool: @Foodnerd81: @skipper2010: I ended up making an appt at a new practice (which I actually looked at before but didn't realize they opened a new location 1.5 miles from my house a month ago!!) for May 13th. I'll be 8 1/2 weeks so I doubt we'll hear a heartbeat but my friend who recommended them said they do a dating ultrasound so who knows. If I don't end up liking them, I still have my current practice's appt the following week.

@AprilFool: My tummy has been off too. I've had frequent bathroom emergencies (and no, not throwing up) for 5 days now. Never had this problem last time!

@Running Elley: Ahhh congrats lady!!! I'm so excited to see you here!!

@Mrs. Taco: As far as stomach issues go, it's been feast or famine around here. I haven't pooped normally in almost 2 weeks!

My first appt is May 14th, but it's just a nurse appt. Then I have an appt with the OB on June 2nd...I really hope they'll so an ultrasound then. I'm really anxious to know is bean is okay in there...

Oh, and we can move into our townhouse on May 16th, OMG! But I talked to my MIL today and as a housewarming gift they're paying a mover for! Now I don't have to feel guilty about not being able to really help with the lifting, huzzah (but I'm still doing the bulk of the packing...)

@Running Elley: yes, we actually got, and still get, a lot of comments. I don't think it's that's weird, but when I'll be telling a story about my siblings, people who don't know us are like, wait, what are all your names? I rattle off our five K names and get some form of "whoa, did your parents do that on purpose?" Or something about it being lame or weird not occasionally t being cool. Meanwhile I remember being little and making a craft and the teacher saying to put your initials on it and I was like, but then no one will know whose it is at home?

Personally I have no problem with it but I am still surprised how many comments we get! E is a good letter for it though- so many good names.

@Running Elley: I also love Emmett (I think that spelling, whatever the standard spelling is). But I agree, if you are stopping E's do it now. I kinda feel like we have to stick with double t's at the end of a boys name.... And, a double BOB fits three. Two in the seats and one where the feet go. I haven't had to do it a lot, but I have done it
@skipper2010: I have had a different OB/GYN with every pregnancy (how funny! Just realized that) and I've always gotten a sonogram by 9 weeks. My first appt is at 9 ish weeks and this doc does a sonogram. I feel like they would be able to pick up a heart beat on a Doppler though. My first appt is May 27. I just have to hope I don't bleed and have to go in earlier. I have had early bleeding with every pregnancy....

@Running Elley: yayyy congrats!! And you'll need to come up with a new hashtag on IG

@Running Elley: I ran all through my first pregnancy, up until midway through the 3rd tri when I found out she was iugr and I got super paranoid (even though there was no medical reason not to, I just couldn't justify it). Anyway, I just have to say that the first few weeks, really most of the first tri, running was HARD! But the second I hit the second tri, it was easy again, and I felt great. I was super cautious in the first tri, and stopped anytime I so much as felt tired, but later on it really did get easier. So don't give up this pregnancy so far (it's been a week haha) I've run a few times but really taken it easy.

Wow - our group is getting so big! Super exciting

I still have a week to go until my 1st appointment but I ended up "outing" myself to my boss yesterday. He actually asked me if I was pregnant which shocked me. He has 2 kids of his own and is surrounded by female employees (2 of which have been pregnant the last 2 years) so I think he's pretty good at reading the 1st trimester signs. Nausea has been kicking my butt so I've been doing a lot of deep breathing and looking miserable, apparently. Haha. Has anyone else told their bosses?

@shortiecake: I'm surprised he would ask! What if you were just really tired?

I sah now by with C, I told my boss at 14 weeks and she said she had no idea. I was like, yeah I've been putting my head down at my desk every afternoon? Drinking ginger ale at 10:30 am?

MS is starting up for me. It's not awful, just that ooooh I really shouldn't have had those extra glasses of wine queasiness (obviously I'm not having glasses of wine, just how it feels!).

@HappyBluebird: I'm glad someone else feels my pain! Haha. Not really though...I hope we both feel better soon!

@Foodnerd81: I was super surprised he asked...and a little bothered since I wasn't planning on "announcing" until after my 1st u/s. Typical guy....didn't he know you're not supposed to ask a woman if she's expecting??? Haha.

@lovehoneybee: I am kind of glad it's out in the open truthfully, for the same reason you mentioned. It's hard to keep up sometimes when we're feeling crappy!

So, we thought we were having a Nov baby but at our first appt we got pushed back to Dec 6 with #2!

@Pirouette: OMG that would have made me so angry! I'm just bummed I had to tell my boss (and co-workers) before I could even tell my family and friends. Really looking forward to the big reveal since this will be the first grandchild for my parents
