Hellobee Boards

@MaryM: I have the opposite situation - my husband isnt even on Facebook! He never liked the idea of posting personal details on the internet for everyone to see so he just never signed up

@MaryM: haha it sounds like he likes it now my hubby does like to look at my FB sometimes, but is very resistant to having his own account!

I was just reading your other posts about maternity pants. I am holding up non-denim pants okay (I have a pair of black shorts and black Capri pants - both are pretty lightweight fabric with the full panel) - sometimes they slide a little bit, but overall soo comfy! Maybe try a non-denim style for now - I had good luck at Target and Kohl's I don't think I can ever wear regular pants again after this - I love all of the stretch!

@lauren0817: I tried Kohl's and was really disappointed. I have really thick calves so I can't really do the skinny pants that are popular now. I did find a pair of black pants at Gap that were super comfy to try on, but I'm also short. So I had to finish unpacking my sewing room this weekend and will need help to get them hemmed (since they're SO long!). I'll need someone else to pin them because it's impossible to just flip up the hem!

@SwanSong: I completely understand - I can't wait for our next appointment! Four weeks goes by quickly, but it also seems so long. Hope your next appointment is here before you know it and everything looks great

I had my third visit yesterday, baby's heart beat was 155, whew! My son and husband came with me and my little man told me that I am having a baby girl and that he is having a baby boy. He cracks me up.

I go back in two weeks with my mom, since she is nurse she will be giving me my progesterone injections, and the office just wants to give her the proper instructions. And they set up my one and one ultrasound for 8/31, so excited!

@MrsYellowJacket: so cute !!!

I'm jealous with all these ultrasound pictures !! I don't get one until 18-29 weeks and that's the only time I'll see baby the wait is killing me!

@heartsnsunshine: thanks! Well the bright side to that means you're not high risk but I'm sure it's a brutal wait!!

@travellingbee: thank you! Not too much longer then!!

@DesertDreams88: Oh very neat!! I don't think I've seen a 3d that early

@DesertDreams88: Aw cute!

Guys, I'm dying. I am so tired of feeling so sick all the time. I threw up majorly last night and could barely function. Fell asleep at 830 and made my DH take care of the LO. Then woke up wicked nauseous this morning. It is just round the clock. I'm so tired of this. I have been nauseous for months and nothing seems to help.
ETA: on second thought, I'm thinking I have a stomach virus-- this is too much throwing up and now diarrhea...

@MaryM: I got some Gap skinny pants and mine are way too long, too!

@MrsYellowJacket: @DesertDreams88: Loving your ultrasound pics! I am so excited for my first ultrasound but won't get it probably til mid-September when I am 20 weeks.

@travellingbee: Sorry you aren't feeling well. I swear the stomach bug is so much worse when pregnant! Hope it's short lived!!

I am 13 weeks and had my second appointment yesterday. Things seem to be changing fast. My midwife found the heartbeat pretty easily and I got to listen for like 30 seconds! It was 150. And this morning I felt the baby!!!

I am no longer feeling awful--which is awesome!
The first trimester felt like forever so I am so glad to say goodbye to it.

@mdf106: haha my hubby is very proud that he's still not on Facebook

Hope you're feeling a bit better! Summer colds are the worst.

@lauren0817: I just loved when we asked where the maternity section was (after walking half the store and ALL of the clothing) when we were told "It's over there, past the luggage." Past the luggage??? lol

I finally hemmed my Gap pants and I'm so comfy today!

I'm a week away from my next check up and getting the usual anxiety again. I actually pulled up dopplers on Amazon today thinking about ordering one to keep myself sane. But then I figure as soon as I order one and get it out of the packaging I'll probably feel the baby move (but wouldn't that alone be worth $40? lol)

I can make it nine days. I can make it nine days...

@MaryM: haha yeah I had to ask as well - it was between the baby section and plus size section in my Kohl's

I hear you about the waiting - 7 days to go for me and it seems to be going so slowly. I have gone back and forth about the Doppler as well - I just know if I can't get it to work for some reason I will send myself into a crazy panic so I decided it was best not to risk it. I *think* I might be feeling very occasional and very subtle flutters but am not 100% confident. I'm excited for some big kicks

@lauren0817: well not puking but not great... It's taking forever to get over this thing since I'm still so "morning sick" too.

@MaryM: haha I think the luggage must be behind the baby stuff in my store. Yes those racks were packed! I just dug through everything like a maniac I had just come from Old Navy where it looked like a bomb went off in the maternity section so it was one if those days where I really had to dig through stuff. At least everything at kohls was hanging unlike ON where things were thrown on a table (or on the floor) - it was a mess!

Very good point about the Doppler - it should be much easier to use now My Dr used it at my last appt 3 weeks ago and it only took her about 20 sec to find the heartbeat (granted I wasn't breathing for those 20 sec so it felt very long!)

@mdf106: I'm coughing so hard so frequently that I sometimes worry I'm smushing the baby, ha! It's keeping me up at night. I'm exhausted. Yesterday it seemed like I was getting over it, but then I had a horrible night of sleep last night and I feel completely terrible again today. Being sick in the summer is awful...being sick in the summer when you're pregnant is just the.worst.

@MaryM: @lauren0817: Maternity in my Kohl's is in with the baby stuff. It's like 4 racks. I almost missed it entirely.

I got most of my maternity stuff from Old Navy and Gap. I'm pretty much set, but I'd like to get a pair of black skinny pants for work. You guys said you like Gap for that?

@littlebug: Gap had several pair of skinny black pants (I don't like skinny so I didn't try any of them, but was disappointed they only had one pair of wide leg work pants!). They have a 40% off code online so you might want to try them on in the store but buy them online.

@lauren0817: I never think of Loft for maternity, even though I love their non-maternity clothes! Thanks!

I wish I could relax. Every time I get close to an appointment (next one is August 5th, next Wednesday at 17 weeks) I get really anxious that there won't be a heartbeat or something will be wrong I know the risk of anything going wrong is low, but being in the infertility/TTC community for so long coupled with being a pediatric nurse, I feel like I'm just inundated with all the sad information and it's hard to NOT think about things going wrong. Most days I am enjoying pregnancy, don't get me wrong, just once in a while these thoughts creep up on me.

I have felt some movement but it's very slight and subtle and I am not sure if it actually IS baby movement or in my head or just other bodily functions going on, lol.
