Hellobee Boards

@78h2o: Totally jealous of your daughter! I'm still waiting to feel my little girl moving in there!

@78h2o: Oh, J is so sweet! Tonight at bedtime, P kept hugging baby, then saying "Hi Baby" and giving him a kiss. Then he started pretending to rock a baby and said "Rock baby. Sing baby." Mommy's heart=melted. He also was really concerned about crushing baby by hugging me. I'm starting to think it was a mistake to tell him, though, because he is seriously impatient about baby arriving. Every time I leave the house he thinks I'm bringing the baby back.

DH and I hit up a big consignment sale today. We don't need any baby clothes because my crazy mother has been buying baby clothes for years, and our LO will have enough clothes for her first two years of life without us ever having to buy anything. BUT, I got a ton of maternity clothes for under $100! I am pretty pumped about it! I got 2 dresses, 6 pairs of shorts, a skirt, 10 tops and a swimsuit. Yay for deals!

@dc yoga bee: yay! very nice!!!

@dc yoga bee: nice!

@rpparker: awesome! I've been thinking about getting one!

You ladies are so much more on top of things than we are! We just went out and made our registry today. We know what we want the nursery to look like but haven't picked out paint or anything yet. I haven't even bought anything for LO yet either Starting to think I'm a little behind!

@MrsBrewer: cute bump!! I am not sure if I've had any BH yet. I have had off and on some cramping of sorts but I really can't tell if it's just general stretching/round ligament pain/BH

@rpparker: Love that bedding!!!!!!

@rpparker: Love the fabric and the wall color!
@dc yoga bee: You look great!!!

I love the bump shots. I really thought I was finally showing this week but I went to a party today and nobody noticed the bump. If one more person tells me I look like I ate a burrito after I tell them I'm pregnant I'm going to lose it.

Yesterday, I was an emotional basket case. I spilled my coffee and cried for 10 minutes, and then little stuff kept setting me off all day. Anyone else feeling overly emotional lately?

@Mamabee: I had a meltdown on Saturday because I couldn't find parking, and on Sunday because I couldn't find a bra to fit my ever-expanding boobs. I've cried over money, work, my cats, insomnia, sex, commercials....you name it, I've cried over it!

@MrsBrewer: Unfortunately mine is mostly crying over sex being very painful now. Every once in a while it's fine but at least 3-3.5 times out of 5, it hurts a lot. I'm just glad my hubby is very patient and doesn't pressure me about it, even though I still feel bad that I have little interest in it. Hopefully the time til your ultrasound passes quickly.

@MrsBrewer: Thanks, it's kind of the story of our sex life but had gotten significantly better the last few years, after PT and some other treatment. It's discouraging to see the pain return now but I guess there's not much to be done at the moment. Hopefully we'll get back to the better sex sooner than later!

@MrsBrewer: That sucks. We haven't had sex in ages, but in our case it's because my husband suffers from depression and the meds and everything are a mood killer for him. I hear you on missing the emotional connection. Could you guys do a lot of cuddling/backrubs... or would that just be frustrating?!

@badwolf: I'm sorry! I hope it's just a temporary issue that resolves sooner rather than later.

@hocuspocus: I can't believe you lasted in your pre-preg jeans as long as you did! I haven't been able to fit in mine for months (even with a band).

@78h2o: I may have been squeezing into them, I wasn't ready to let go! Lol but I love my spandex leggings. I think I might budge and get a pair of maternity jeans.

@hocuspocus: I've been living in yoga pants for months! What are jeans?! (I've refused to buy maternity jeans... but I'll probably give in at some point).

@MrsBrewer: are we!?!?! There is still so much to be done, and some/a lot/few of us may even go early

@just_ju: I bet people will come as long as they know far in advance before they commit to other holiday plans!

@dc yoga bee: yeah, I really feel like I will have this baby in May (though just because I think that, I'll probably go past my EDD ). Julia measured a few days ahead and was born a few days early, so I feel like this baby will follow a similar pattern. My sister's kids were both a few days early. I was born 6 weeks early and my sister maybe a week early?

Maybe for fun we should all guess our baby's actual birth dates and see who is closest (we might have to exclude the c-section peeps, though I guess they could always go early). The last two ultrasounds showed LO measuring with a 5/26 due date - my birthday. That would be an awesome present, but I'm kind of hoping for her sake that she has her own birthday. I like 5/15/15 or 5/25/15 for a birthday, so I'm going to go with 5/25 for my guess. However, if I make it past my due date (6/1), I really hope she comes on my grandmother's birthday, 6/5!

ETA: I do have a gut feeling about 5/28 though, so that's my second guess

I'm planning on going late. I'm working until I'm 40+2 only because they have to have a start date for my replacement. I'd prefer to work until I deliver, so I can maximize my maternity leave time with the baby. So, I'm hoping I don't go more than 10 days past, so I don't lose an entire week of my leave to sitting around just waiting. My mom was induced every time at 40 weeks just because, so I have no idea when she would have had natural labor.

DH and I start our Bradley Birth Class tonight. I'm excited and nervous! Is anyone else doing Bradley classes?

I am really really hoping that I have the baby on 6/1. DH's grandfather passed away last month, and this would have been his 10th great grandchild. So we would love the special connection if the baby is born on the 1st. Since I'm due on the 5th it isn't too far off!!
