Hellobee Boards

@mrsmacSLP: I told my boss early at like 6 weeks. I wanted her to know in case I was not feeling well or puking in front of my kinders!

@Raspberries: Thanks for your input! I'm comfortable with my boss, and it's earlier than I planned but since my position is a hard to fill I think I will let her know!

Thank you all!

And @oskarsmommy: that's awful! They could've done it in private!

@Weswife: Ugh, it's normal, but still sucks. My friends call it snissing (sneeze/pissing.) I try to make sure I pee proactively every so often so it occurs less frequently, but I think it only gets worse the more baby pushes on your bladder.

@Weswife: Ahhh! Better start bringing some extra pants/undies when you leave the house. Isn't becoming a mom glamorous?!

@Weswife: umm it's seriously such a problem. I work out a lot and actually bought special incontinence sports underwear. I kept hearing that as I worked out more, my pelvic floor would strengthen and fix my bladder issues, but that hasn't been the case. I pee my pants a lot.

I actually went to see a urologist about it and she was basically like do more kegels. But it's a much bigger issue than I think she realized.

After this baby, I'll probably go see someone else about it because it's really negatively impacted my life with the amount of exercise and races I do. I'm so self conscious when I do group exercise meetups

@Weswife: If I can feel a big sneeze coming, I kinda cross my legs and then it's fine haha. I also can't skip. If there's any skipping in a workout, after about 10 jumps I start to piddle. I always check the work out for the day, and if there's any skipping, I won't go
I hate it so much, and it doesn't seem to matter how much I work out and do kegels, it doesn't get better.

@MrsB2012: @Mrs. Pen: I feel you ladies. I think I've heard the peeing gets worse after a vaginal delivery, too. I have a couple of pairs of Dear Kates that I wear when I go to kickboxing classes - but those dang jumping jacks have me leaking a little bit every time.

@Mrs. Pen: I can kinda commiserate.. I use to do cross-fit when I was pregnant, and I remember my first time back after baby.. We did a workout involving jumping rope.. no stopping that one, just pissed all over myself. I remember being terrified that this was just my new reality.

@IRunForFun: Thanks, this looks super useful! Any idea if the exercises are for pregnant women, or if it's more of an after-pregnancy type of thing?

@IRunForFun: awesome thank you!

@Mrs. Pen: that's so exciting you announced! You should post your announcement if you're comfortable, I looovee seeing them!
We're going to announce pretty soon. I just need to tell my grandparents, and then we can do something public. I already have the picture ready to go haha. I sent it to my extended family yesterday.
That's also good you're feeling good the last few days, it's such a relief when that time comes.

@lilyann: aww that's too cute! Our first baby was due the day before we found out we were pregnant with our rainbow baby! So we took some pictures with a rainbow And pot of gold! It was dh's idea since the baby is due in March!

@Mrs. Pen: we hopefully will be announcing next week or the following. We took our pictures yesterday for our announcement and found out the gender which we are both over joyed about! Just waiting to receive our edited photos!!! Ahh I can't wait. It will be so much easier when it's all out ha!

@MrsB2012: sure!! I love seeing announcments too

This is what I posted on FB:
"I once was just 1️⃣ and then I found you. Then 'I' became 'we' and we became 2️⃣.
Nine months of waiting... Our 'we' became 3️⃣. Such a great family, you, him, and me.
Now he's getting tall.. And we wanted one more! So guess what! Our 'we' is soon to be 4️⃣
Estimated time of arrival: March 2017"

With this photo:

@Weswife: ahhh that's sooo exciting!! I really want to see your photos!!

@lilyann: aww that will be special

Sometimes I question if there really is only 1 baby in here. ( 14 weeks)

@Mrs. Pen: Love these - especially the handstand one. So cute!

@MrsB2012: Your pup is absolutely adorable...totally has the long-suffering, guardian-doggy look down.

@Mrs. Pen: oh my goodness! That is darling I love it!

@MrsB2012: you look so cute and pregnant! I look huge and round! And the doggie announcement is too cute!!

@raspberries: you look pregnant too! I wish I did! Just round it makes me feel huge!

I will share a photo or two tomorrow after we post! But there are 51 total!!! Haha that's too many!

Is anyone talking names yet?

I told DH I didn't want to discuss with him until we know whether it's a boy or a girl cause we argued so much last time lol.

Although we pretty much have the girl name picked out either way... But I just found another name I love. I don't think he'll love it as much, but it's the kind of name that may grow on him.
The name is Theodora- Thea for short.
So classic and beautiful! The top name right now though is Evangeline. I've loved it for YEARS. We'd call her Eva. (E-vuh) not e as in egg, e as in each.
Other contenders are Madeleine, Gemma, Quinn and Adelaide.

Boy names are harder for me than girl names though. Especially since I have a boy and haven't heard any name I love as much as his. And a few of the names I do really love, are so popular now it makes me hesitate (Asher, Logan, Parker - which is my maiden name and DS's middle name).
another boy contenders is Beckett

Anyone else wanna share top names?

@Mrs. Pen: our name is chosen! It's been chosen for sometime but we are keeping it a secret till baby arrives! We have a girl name too but will save it and hopefully get to use it later!

Some of my favs though for a girl are Charlie, Lincoln, Harper, Ginny, and Gracie. Boys are: eh these ones are hard for me, I like older names like Benjamin but I am not really in love with any. The one we chose has a very special reason!

@oskarmommy you look so tiny! I look huge and round! Omg

@Mrs. Pen: my husband and I have a very hard time picking names. We don't agree on anything, so pretty much the first one that we both agree on is what it's going to be.
We possibly have a girls name picked out. He suggested it a few weeks ago, and I like it, so we might just go with it if it's a girl.
We haven't talked about boys names yet. I have an ongoing list, but nothing that I'm really set on yet.
We do have middle names for both tho.
