Hellobee Boards

@faithlove224: I usually have zero issues falling asleep at night but i wake up between 4-4:30 needing to pee or the dog is laying on top of my legs and i cant get comfortable. I get back into bed and I can't fall back to sleep. Hubs alarm starts going at like 5 and he snoozes 2-3 times. My first alarm goes off at 5:45 then 6. I get to work and feel like it should be lunch time.

@Chillybear: I've been so bloated at night it's a little painful. Yuck!

@faithlove224: I've had a little trouble staying asleep. I fall asleep just fine and then wake up in the night and toss and turn for a couple hours. I bought some unisom but haven't tried it yet.

Is anyone else having trouble drinking plain water? Plain water is usually all I drink but it tastes gross to me, metallic almost. I usually hate seltzer but I've been drinking seltzer with lemon because it goes down better than water.

Random question, but is there a way to have it sort the board posts by the most recent post?

Thx

@Chillybear: Oh, that sounds miserable. I'm sorry.

@IRunForFun: Yes! I'm drinking about a gallon of soda water a day. Do you have a Publix nearby? They sell amazing flavored soda water with no sodium, calories, or artificial flavors. If not, La Croix is more extensive but also delicious!

I too am beyond exhausted and having major main in my back and boobs (like I literally feel like I've been beaten with a bat). I have been sleeping like 15 hours a day thankfully.
5 weeks today and three until our first appointments!

@mybell208: if you have gold, when you click on the thread it will take you to where you last read. But otherwise, no.
@IRunForFun: I actually am drinking more water. I am so thirsty. I am sometimes using the Mio squirt thing to flavor it at work. At home I drink Crystal Light when I need a water break.

DH was going to start dinner while I read stories, I said that this is what we are having, even thought it all sounds gross to me. He asked what I wanted, I said a calzone. He went and got us some. It was so good. I really wish I wanted to eat healthy food.

@sunnyday: 4 kids, hey! I kinda thought that before we got the child that never slept more than 2 hours at a time, and needs to run and climb every minute he's awake. DH and I are spent... we keep saying this one has GOT to be a quiet, calm one:)

@smurfette: @babypugs: @irunforfun: I'm having no bother with water (I think the 105f+ temps help with that) but I am seriously missing the gallons of coffee I used to drink. Limiting myself to half a cup in the mornings until I remember to pick up decaf at the shop.

@littlecasita1122: I'm glad you've had such a supportive doctor. Prayers for you and all of us for a healthy 9months

I officially need to eat any healthy food for the day before noon. After that point I'm not likely eating or going for junk. I made my first rhubarb crisp of the season last night, mmmm with ice cream! I also have headaches back, roll in early afternoon and stay until bedtime. I usually never get them, so some days they really take their toll.

@littlecasita1122: Congrats! I am so sorry to hear about your daughter. That's great your doctor is so understanding.
@MrsCDH: we announced on FB last time once we knew the gender. This time we will find out the gender way earlier but will wait till 12-13 weeks (at the earliest) to announce. I ordered LO a big sister shirt already. But not sure how we will announce. We are telling my immediate family next weekend and I can't wait. We didn't see my Mom on Mothers Day and my Dad has to work on Fathers Day, so we are celebrating on Memorial Day. I ordered a together gift as part of their gifts and it has the grandchild number on it. I think they will be surprised but not surprised. They know I wanted to get pregnant this year. But I know they will be so excited.

@Makingbabyw: I ordered this. It it very them and perfect to put 4 grandkids instead of the 3 they know about. I am seeing my Mom and sister tomorrow. Going to be to hard to keep it a secret.

@limabeanbabies: Is the hb group going to still be active? I don't feel comfortable joining a Facebook group for privacy reasons, but still want to keep up with everyone!

@babypugs Yep! Just two different ways to keep in touch. I'm on facebook a lot more than HB (don't judge me!), so it's just easier for me.

@MrsCDH: I just told my parents today by getting them alone (I've got siblings that still live at home) in the backyard and then just spilling the beans. But all (9 of) my siblings are getting together on Saturday, so I'm giving my parents an anniversary present to open in front of them that's a "grandbaby" frame to hold the ultrasound picture. That's how we're telling my siblings.
Still debating telling DH's family tomorrow. Not sure about that since our ultrasound is Monday and MIL has a really big mouth and will tell the world. As for Facebook, I'd like to do something to acknowledge our infertility journey, but I've also been off Facebook because of pregnancy announcements for about 8 months, so I'm not sure yet. I have some cute ideas but don't know if I'll follow through.
@Smurfette: that is so cute!!! Is it for outside?? I'd love to get something like that for my parents!
@littlecasita1122: welcome! I'm so sorry about your daughter. I hope this pregnancy is long and uneventful.
@limabeanbabies: I think on people's walls would be best? I'm in for a Facebook group. Sounds fun!

@Smurfette: That sign is adorable!
@ruby26: For our first LO, we took my parents to eat and snuck an ultrasound photo in their menu.

We told our parents but not the happy situation I had hoped for. I spiked a really high fever last night and had bad cramping. The last time I miscarried I stayed in bed for 2 days so we realized we will need their help if something happens (DH works out of town). I'm better today and all symptoms stopped and the doctor said all we can do is wait and see.

@Tanjowen: hope you are feeling better! Rest as much as you can.

Tentatively joining in after my BFP yesterday! I'd be interested in a FB group.

Location: Philly area
EDD: January 28 I think. This will definitely change since my cycles were so long!
How far along: 4ish weeks?
First child? Second! My daughter is almost 20 months.
First doctor appointment: I haven't set one yet! I'll call on Monday. We are going to Europe for two weeks in June, so I'm hoping to get in before we go.
Any symptoms so far? metallic taste in my mouth, running feels harder (I remember this with my daughter too!), and a little breast tenderness. nausea hit me FULL FORCE at 6 weeks last time, so we will see!
Who have you told? My husband! It's still early days and with our daughter we waited until after our first doctor's appointment to tell our families.

@limabeanbabies: when its a closed group, can others see it!? I am nervous of others being able to see me join a closed group, versus secret?

@Tanjowen: Oh no, I hope you're feeling better and everything is OK!!

@madger: Welcome and congrats!! I have/had that metallic taste too! It's so gross. Glad to hear I'm not the only one though.

@madger: Welcome! Where are you traveling in Europe? Sounds amazing!
