Hellobee Boards

@stiletto_mom @mrsdragon: Congrats on the baby boys!

So many little boys in this group... still waiting for another little girl to join mine

@wheres_c: Good luck at your anatomy scan! I hope you are feeling well after dropping a Diclegis pill.

We had our anatomy scan yesterday and baby is definitely a girl! I was nervous throughout the entire appointment, but doctor said everything is going well so far. I can't believe I'm already at the halfway point!

Have any of you that are expecting your second or third LO looked into (or have) a double stroller? I'm driving myself nuts comparing them!

@tjlove54: I don't like the bulk of the doubler stroller so I'm just thinking of getting the skateboard attachment.

@tjlove54: how old is your first? We stopped using the stroller almost completely at 3 years old. But we are going to have a large age difference (LO1 will be 4 years 9 months when this one is born!).

If he still used a stroller I would probably just wear the baby and let LO have the stroller. I'm with @Pumpkin Pie, I don't like the bulk of the double stroller.

@tjlove54: We're going to try to go without one, but LO1 will be a bit past 3 when LO2 arrives, so I think I can probably wear him for awhile until he needs it, and then hopefully LO1 will have outgrown the stroller at that point. We have a walking commute though so we will see. I have briefly looked into them and like the look of the g-lite, the joovy caboose ultralight, and the valco snap duo 2 (as you might be able to tell, I am only looking at lightweight ones).

@GreenThumb: That hat is adorable! You are very talented!

@GreenThumb: Cute hat!

Congrats on even more boys in our group! My anatomy scan is Monday and I'm really hoping for boy #2 for us, though I'll also be excited to have a girl. I tried stopping Diclegis a few days ago and went right back to vomiting, so I'm staying on the medication for now. I wish I could just feel normal. Oh well, only 20 weeks to go...

I hope everyone is feeling well!

@DigAPony: any updates on your scan?

Mine is tomorrow but we will continue to be team green.

Had my anatomy scan last week, and everything was great! DH wasn't with, so I had them write down gender in a sealed envelope. We still haven't opened it I wish I felt stronger been finding out and being TG, but I can't decide! Haha. So for the moment, we are still TG. I will say I think the 3D image of the face looks more "boyish" to me, but maybe that's just because I found out with my other 2 (both girls). I mean, really, all babies just look like babies, right?

@Pumpkin Pie: YAY GIRL!!!!! Congrats!

@KayKay: Oh man some serious will power.

@tjlove54: my DD1 and DD2 are 2.5y apart, and we have a double that we use fairly often with them. Or at least often enough that I feel it was worth it. We aren't in a truly "city" environment (where I feel like doubles might be necessary but you also want to be space conscious, both in your house/apt and on the sidewalks), but in a very walkable urban neighborhood. We have the Indie double since it can fit through normal doorways, but I also don't have to worry about folding/unfolding or lifting it particularly often. Generally I use it as a workhorse to haul stuff to the park or neighborhood pool, or to have both LOs ride in when we don't want to walk somewhere at the preschool dawdle LO3 will be 2 years younger than DD2, so presumably we will still get a fair amount of use over the next couple of years...either for LOs 1 and 2 (to be contained!) while I babywear LO3...or then for LO 2 and 3 while LO1 can walk or ride her scooter/bike.

I would definitely not call it a necessity, per se, but it's really really nice to have. Also probably depends on whether you WAH/WOH or are SAH. I would get less use out of it if I wasn't SAH and the kids were at daycare for a good chunk of the day, but still quite a bit on evenings and weekends.

@KayKay: That actually makes complete sense.

@wheres_c: Thanks for asking, and yay for your good anatomy scan and longer maternity leave! 18 weeks paid sounds great!!

We are having a BOY, just like I hoped! Very excited. And our scan came back all clear, no anatomical abnormalities.

@tjlove54: That's funny how there's so many little boys here! Everyone in my other moms group is having girls except for like 2 or 3 people!
I'll join you in the girls club here!

@WinterBee: YAY! Congrats on baby girl!!!! Love your announcement! I'm happy there are now some fellow girl mamas in this group.

@digapony: Congrats on baby boy! So glad you had a great scan!

@wheres_c: that is awesome about your maternity leave!

@tjlove54: @catlady: Thanks! We're both really excited!

@WinterBee: adorbs!!!
Hope I get to join you in the girl club!

@catlady: @tjlove54: Thank you!!

@rescuemom10: yay! congrats!

@Rescuemom10: Congrats!

Hi everyone! Just got back from vacation. It is as awful as I imagined. Congrats to all the good news! Finally some girls!!!

19.5 weeks here and I barely look pregnant! I'm a little surprised by this since it's my second?
