Hellobee Boards

I love coming in here and seeing all the new updates! I try to keep up with this tread, I usually read it every couple of days I'm just terrible about responding and I hate typing on my iPad.

Love seeing all the stroller talk, even though we already purchased ours I like seeing what everyone else is going with.

I'm probably going to be switching to a midwife practice soon. I have a meet and greet with a group on Wednesday and I'm excited to see if they will work out.

Also need to post on the bump thread because I definitely have a bump now, several of my regular customers asked me when I am due.

@swedishfish: I think we are going to get the britax b agile double. It means we have to get a different infant car seat because ours is an off brand and isn't compatible with any double strollers, but I have some items I'm selling, so hopefully that will offset the cost.

@Mrs. Lion: Well, the double strollers that are more stacked seem kind of uncomfortable for the older kid, plus I've read they are heavy and harder to maneuver. We do have sidewalks and this particular side by side is one of the narrowest ones. We walk to the store a lot and once I have #2, I will be walking Liam to and from preschool a couple days per week. It's kind of far for him to walk the whole way and as of now, he doesn't mind the stroller (especially if he has a snack ).

@MrsB2012: Oh yes, I have seen this before!! I wonder how I'll know when they do it again...

ETA: I signed up for their emails. Hopefully there's not too much spam...

@mrs. tictactoe: You could always try emailing and asking if they do it once or twice a year. They might give you some info?

@HeartAbandoned: thanks for starting the page!

I have been feeling the baby move for over a week now. I thought that's what it was, but wasn't 100% sure until today. Now I definitely feel it when I'm sitting down really still. So awesome! I'm 13 weeks tomorrow. I know I started feeling flutters really early with Liam, too, but this feels more like baby movements (probably because I now know what they feel like). Anyone else?

@loopedd: gah! That would totally stress me out im so sorry!

@mrs. tictactoe: I'm so jealous you're already feeling movement! Sometimes I poke my belly to see if I can make the baby move and feel something, but nothing yet!

@loopedd: Oh no! That sounds stressful! Do you think she's actually going to do it? I can't imagine just deciding one day to up and move such a big distance. Moving is such a hassle.

@loopedd: Glad you told your coworkers and you're feeling relieved about it! I totally understand not liking telling people! I feel so awkward for some reason.
That sucks about your mom. Is it a for sure thing? That seems awfully far to move.. Ugh. I hope it ends up being OK

@mrs. tictactoe: I've felt it move a couple times, nothing regular though! So exciting as last time I didn't feel anything until super late ( 22 weeks like @Mrs. Lion: ) Darn anterior placenta last time

I had a Dr appt today, it went well. She gave me prescriptions for orthotics, support stockings and physio haha. I've been having some really bad pelvic floor pain, to the point of almost tears when I'm working so I want to try and get it under control. She said if it continues this way to let her know and she can easily write a note saying I need to shorten my shifts. I won't take her up on that any time as I need to get 600 hours in before I take my mat leave for EI. It's just nice to know that she'll help me out how she can without me having to really fight for it. We heard the heartbeat, baby was extremely squirmy, she couldn't hold the heartbeat for more then a few seconds as baby would squirm away haha. She said my ultrasound should be interesting if it's moving around this much now. When she pulled back my shirt she was like "oh wow, look right up there already" haha, I've definitely popped, especially after that reaction. I gained 4 pounds in a month! No more bagels! No more! haha

@Mrs. Lion: I just called the place, they can't get me in until Nov 19th! I guess she's pretty popular haha. She said that it's just hard to get the initial appt and then after that it's usually a 3-4 week wait if you book at the time. She booked me in for my first 3 appts so I go every week. She said they have lots of cancellations so I might get in early, but with my work schedule being a rotation it kind of makes things hard. I can't believe it's such a long wait! I'll be 28 weeks when I get in lol

i just chatted with my boss about telling the rest of my team next Tuesday after my birthday lunch! lol I clearly want all the attention. But that is not true at all because DH mentioned we should announce on FB the other night and I nearly lost my mind...i don't feel ready for that amount of people to know. Is that weird?

@mrs. tictactoe: I've been feeling a TON of twinges and stretching-type feelings lately... I have no clue what they are though! I keep wondering when I'll "know" it's the baby. I know he/she's moving, I saw it on the ultrasound!

@Beanie132: FB is big time... Not weird at all to be apprehensive. I'm looking forward to the relief of having it all out in the open and not compartmentalizing what I say to who knows and who doesn't... I've been so worried about slipping!

@mrs. tictactoe: I'm feeling the baby move, but only at random times. I'm itching for some kicks! Sometimes I'll definitely feel it move, so I drop everything I'm doing (unless i'm driving, of course) and put my hands there and poke a bit, trying to provoke some kicks. So far nothing, but hopefully soon?!

@Circusbee: I'm not sure if this is round ligament pain, because it feels different than from my first, but I'm having groin pain like whoa.

My daughter was sick over the weekend and I inevitably caught her cold. I'm doing okay now (just feeling totally out of it), but just ridiculously thankful my mom is in town this week, because I'm slacking around here.

Shoot. There was something else I was going to say/ask, but my pregnant/mom/sick brain just went blank. I'll be back when I figure it out.

I had one at 13 weeks last time, except mine was bright red. I hope that's all it is! I would call and go in for an ultrasound. My ob put me on pelvic and modified bed rest until the bleeding had stopped.

@Jruess: I hope everything is ok! Please keep us posted. It must be very scary.

I *think* I felt the baby moving some a few nights ago. This is my first pregnancy, so I feel like it's SUPER early (14.5 weeks) for me to really be feeling anything, but it felt a little bit like bubbles popping in my belly, and not in my stomach. I had recently seen a friend with a newborn, and that is how she described the first movement she felt, so I'm going with it. I haven't felt much since then, but I'm definitely paying a little more attention

My DH is a youth pastor, and we're telling the youth at church tonight. After that, it won't be a secret anymore, but I don't think we'll post to FB for a little while longer. I'm anxious to start dressing my bump and not hiding it any more - it's getting harder to hide under my over-sized t-shirts!

@Jruess: I hope it's nothing! Keep us posted.

@mrs tictactoe @heartabandoned I felt the baby two nights ago (14 wks). I was lying still in bed and felt it five times! The first two times, I tried to convince myself it was too early, but I put my hand there and it kept happening! When my hand was there, it felt stronger. It was so awesome! Then I didn't sleep because I was just waiting for more movement.

Yesterday I was trying to take a nap and felt it again. My husband is very jealous; he can't wait to feel it.

I'm really psyched to be feeling baby this early. I wasn't expecting to feel anything until 20 weeks or so! I guess it's safe to say I don't have an anterior placenta.

I will try to get a photo today for the bump thread. My neighbors started noticing, so I guess I've got a good bump now.

@Jruess: Hope it went well! Keep us posted

@Iced Tea: That's SO cool!!

@HeartAbandoned: Have fun telling people at church tonight! I'm sure it'll be a relief not to hide the bump anymore.

We went public on Facebook last night -- it was really fun and my husband was so excited at all the Likes he got It was so nice to have our friends tell us they think we'll be great parents, too!

@Beanie132: 14 weeks... after our NT scan last week I feel pretty confident. I had actually seen a bunch of Feb announcements from FB friends in the last few weeks so that made me feel better too! I got antsy to do it and DH was excited for it to be out in the open since he was telling some people privately anyway. It feels good to have it all in the open. Don't make yourself crazy over it! What does your DH think?

Ultrasound went great! Saw baby's heartbeat and all kinds of movement. They confirmed the subchorionic bleeding but said it's pretty small and they are not too concerned. We did add an ultrasound to our next appointment to make sure everything is fine. Thanks again for the well wishes!
