Hellobee Boards

@swedishfish Thanks for the list and love the announcement--it's so cute.

@kbee I've had a bump for a while. It started as a carb bump, but now definitely looks like a baby bump. Strangers have asked when I'm due, which is comforting since I really just feel fat. I'm almost out of the last of my passable non-maternity clothes.

. . . which leads me to: Gap is having a 40% off sale and ON 30% For a change, the jeans, body, and maternity items are not excluded.

@Kbee: I adore my bumble ride indie! I don't know why they aren't more popular.

I for sure have a bump and can't wear normal pants. I've also developed nausea right in time for our move, hoping it moves along quickly.

@Mrs. Lion: @swedishfish: Thanks for the stroller suggestions!

@Mrs Detour: Thanks for the heads up about the sales! I might have to drop by the mall after work tomorrow. I am also on the last of my comfortable non-maternity clothes, especially pants. So uncomfortable.

@scg00387: Thanks for the stroller suggestion! I hope you feel better soon, what a horrible time for nausea!

@cmomma17: Good luck tomorrow!

@Kbee: When we heard the heartbeat with the doppler she was quite high up too! I know for sure when I went with B at 12 weeks she was right down in my pelvis still. I was shocked that she was up quite high this time! Makes me feel better about my bump too!

@swedishfish: that's such a cute printable!

@Mrs. Detour: @swedishfish: Jealous of your ON and Gap, we don't have 1 maternity store where I live! The only one we had closed! We live in a place with 90,000 people, it's not like I live in a tiny village or something! We went to Ontario 2 weeks ago so I bought some stuff then, but I definitely need more things.

@cmomma17: I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels like that. I feel like once we know the gender then maybe I'll feel better. THings are just so busy right now. My baby turned 1 today! I literally tear up every time I say it. I'm so sad that she's so big!

@ndepet: welcome and congratulations!

@ndepet: @Mrs. Rabbit: Congrats! Nice to see the new additions!

Well, I had to bust out my bella band today. It's mostly just these one pair of jean shorts. I also have the elastic band, but I find that it's most comfy with the band on. Though it's supposed to be smokin hot today, so if I go out I might have to take it off.

I start work tonight, my mat leave is officially over At least I wear scrubs, I'd like to hide this for a few more weeks. I feel like people will look at me in a negative light, just getting back to work and already being 3 months pregnant.

Hope everyone is feeling lovely on this beautiful day!

@reyorra: welcome and congratulations!

@ndepet: @Mrs. Rabbit: @reyorra: Congrats and welcome! So excited to see so many new people today!

The sonographer said our NT measurements were "perfect"! Will get blood results in a few days. I feel so much more excited after seeing our little peanut moving all around!

And they said my uterus is already up and out of my pelvis (at 11 weeks), which means I now wear my bump with pride. I had convinced myself that I just ate too many carbs!

My husband recorded a bit of the baby's movement on screen, and I've watched it several times already. It makes me feel so much more confident that we will bring home a rainbow baby.

My NT was today and everything was nice and normal. DH read his book instead of following along--who does that?

@ndepet: @Mrs. Rabbit: @reyorra: So fun to have a few new Feb mamas join us! Welcome!

@Circusbee: Oooh I'm so happy that you found the heartbeat! You must be thrilled that you can hear it whenever you like now

Looks like it's NT time for lots of us! Glad to hear about the good news and fingers crossed for more!

I'm back at work after a looooong break - I work at a school and admin is slowly trickling back in this week and next. It's strange to be sitting at my desk and I am pretty tired, but thank god my MS isn't nearly as bad as it was a few weeks ago. That was brutal!

@Mrs. Detour: I LOLed at your husband and his book -- was he not interested at all??

@Mrs. Detour: Ah, gotcha. That's understandable -- I think the first pregnancy is when a lot of men realize what we go through somewhat regularly with getting poked and prodded at the OBGYN. When my husband saw the transvaginal u/s wand he nearly died!

@loopedd: haha yes!

Had another ultrasound today, and the ob said that it is standard for her to do more monitoring when mommas have a complicated previous pregnancy. She said that it is for reassurance. I guess she likes to prevent stressed out mommas. I am very grateful for that. The tech even switched the screen over to the 3d view so i could see a detailed view! Amazing!

Welcome to the new mommas and congrats on all the great scans!

@Mrs. Detour: my dh skipped this one completely haha i think he was jealous that he missed the 3d, but he will never admit it.

@Loopedd hahaha. DH was very concerned about the stirrups and ultrasound. He apparently thought the stirrups were a '50s thing.

@Iced Tea: @Mrs. Detour: @mtex14: @Mrs. Lion: Glad all your NT scans / u/s's went well

@HeartAbandoned: are you going to find out the gender later or stay tg? I could look back and see but that's way too much effort haha. I actually haven't looked at any clothes yet! They're so cute though! I can't wait to find out what we're having so I can buy buy buy!!

I was 100% sure that I was having a boy this time as everything is so different from B. I've talked to a few people now that said they're pregnancies were super different but they had the same gender. Now my momma sense is thrown off!

I'm 12w2d now, yay for being out of the first tri, or is that at the beginning of 13w? I'm back at work now and there were tons of rumors flying around a few months ago that I was pregnant. ( I have no idea why, no one at work knew, I had only just found out and had only told family. So I think someone was just starting rumors. ) Everyone keeps staring at my belly trying to figure out if I am or not, but no one has asked yet. I want to keep is secret for a while still haha. It's so annoying to see people staring and judging/guessing though!

@MrsB2012: @HeartAbandoned: I have been wondering the same thing about the second trimester! I've seen the end of week 12, and I've seen 13w3d (exactly 1/3 of 40 weeks). I feel like you just have to pick one, right??

and @MrsB2012: I can't believe the work rumors!! Well, I guess I can - my team loves to speculate about the state of my uterus too

@HeartAbandoned: I've always gone by 14 weeks as the end of the first trimester (12 weeks of pregnancy, since the first two are pre-ovulation). It's silly how there's no set timeline, right?!
