Hellobee Boards

@Ms.Mermaid: haha thanks! Don't feel so cute nowadays but whatever. I am thankful my work scrubs are pretty forgiving in the comfort department, I can't imagine having to wear suits every day I hope your new scrubs will be super comfy!

@cmbknyc: I haven't gained any weight either but I am totally bloated and showing. Your bump is adorable though! Yesterday we were in the car and DH rubbed my belly and was like "you're starting to show!" I had to break it to him that, sorry, the baby is still really low and this is bloating and fat.

Just signed on to share the fact that I just finished eating an ice cream sundae...and it's 10pm.

P.S. Cute bumps, everyone!!

@bushelandapeck: lovely bump, it looks super cute and neat.
@cmbknyc: don't be embarrassed, yor bump is beautiful! I love when bumps are lovely and round. You must struggle to hide it, is there anyone you haven't told yet?

I've got my 16 week appointment today which I think is just blood pressure, pee in a cup and get results from the thousand blood samples they have taken. We got our nt result yesterday too which was low. So far so good, hoping all normal today.

@cmbknyc: at this rate I have a feeling I'm going to look like octomom... lol

On another note, I just opened my period tracker and it notified me that I am 60 days late! Hahaha

@bushelandapeck: could not have asked for better results! Feeling very blessed thank you for asking!

I hear you on the heartburn/indigestion , it affects me a little during the day but usually hits me hard at night. Having good days and bad days with the nausea still which stinks I'm so sorry you have insomnia, it must be especially hard with a LO to look after and work! I'm sleeping but it's very restless and uncomfortable.

How fun if your DH's dream turns out to be true! I have a loooooooongl list of names but no top contenders yet. It's going to be a challenge lol

@Mrs.Panda: ooooooo how exciting!!! Can't wait to find out if your DH is right Ours isn't until May 12th, boooo

@Mrs.Panda: that's awesome! I have an ultrasound on the same day! I'm hoping we will be able to get an idea of what we are having because this is killing me! I'm not counting on it though, we are probably going to have to wait til June Dh had a dream that it's a boy, I'm not contributing any guesses either way! Lol

@cmbknyc: @bushelandapeck: @cyndistar3: I wanted to do it a little later to get a more accurate look, but the place I want to use is going through some changes and some of the techs are going on vacation, so this was the only time that worked for us. I hope they can see something! We will be rechecking closer to 18 weeks to confirm. I hope they can see because this wait is killing me!

The other day DH said we should wait until we are 20 weeks and I about had a break down. Needless to say, we kept our appointment for 13w3d

Here is a pic of me at 12w3d! I am having serious bat wings today.

@lioneyes: I didn't take the meds, although in hindsight I should have. I have some ok low level nausea days and A LOT of very bad days still at 13 weeks. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that 14 weeks is my magic number, as well! Hope you keeping feeling better and better!!!!

I don't keep up with the thread as much as if like but browsing through and so jealous of all the bump pictures! I don't think I have one pregnant picture so far. Uhoh.

Side note: does anyone get so hungry they throw up? I am always hungry and I eat every 2/3 hours but if for some reason I don't I'll get so hungry I throw up. I'm still nursing our 16 month old 4/5 times a day and wondering if that's the problem.

My next appointment is the 29th but I'm scared to ask since the doctor already suggested I wean her but I have no clue where to start

Whoohoo - got our harmony test results today! No bad news on any of the tests and we know we're having a girl! I haven't bought a single thing for baby yet, and I'm so excited to go shopping! I felt bad because I was hoping for a girl all along, but now I feel just fine about it since she turned out to be one!

I'm still loving all these bump pics! I'm at 14 weeks and officially can't button 90% of my pants...

@Rocker2014: that's great! Yay for a girl, congrats

@cyndistar3: thanks!

@bunnylovesbear:thanks, and I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who's sweet tooth is back in force -- my "dessert" was half a bag of marshmallows

@bunnylovesbear:that seems like perfectly reasonable decision making to me!

Ps. I may have baked cookies this morning to celebrate a four day weekend...and eaten three already...

Hey Everyone! Sorry it's been so long since I posted. I have been SUPER nauseated and sick so I really haven't been posting, but I have been reading up an all your awesome stories

We are 16 weeks today and hoping the sickness with subside. We just got our DNA results back and everything is super low risk 1/10000! So happy! It's been really stressful because I have a sister with special needs, so it was a sensitive topic for us. We also found out we are having a baby BOY! So crazy to think, and I think it has made everything a lot more real. Everyone was saying it was going to be a boy, and I think a part of me though it was a girl so it's taking a little adjusting. I feel horrible for not being super excited. I think this weather isn't helping either

Anyways sorry again for not updating!

@Mirage: hey there! Glad to hear your results came back good! And I hear ya on the adjusting part, when we found out #2 was another girl it took me a bit to accept it because I was pretty sure I was having a boy and we were hoping for a boy. But don't worry as time goes on you won't be able to imagine it any differently

@Rocker2014: hooray! Another girl! congrats!

@bushelandapeck: how's your indigestion? Any better? I'm finding myself drinking lots of milk, I think that's helping me a bit as I was getting it too.
@Mrs.Panda: you can tell as early as 13 weeks if baby is blue or pink? I had no idea! I thought it was 16plus, my first scan I was 13+2, she didn't even mention if she could see. She did call it a he, but told us she calls all babies he. I wonder if there was anything in it!
@hellocupcake: I was always feeling nauseous if I didn't constantly eat, I had packets and packets of nibbles everywhere to keep me going! Thankfully at 14 weeks that went away.
@Rocker2014: congrats on your little girl
@Mirage: congrats on your little boy, don't feel bad! I keep thinking I'm having a boy, I think about life with a boy and I think if I found out I was having a girl I would also be shocked. This makes me think ill have a girl and I'm starting to wonder if team green is the best way forward if I'm not 100% prepared for either. My next scan is not until may 14th! Ill be 20+2 so still lots of time to decide.

Something interesting happened today...I think I felt the baby move. Just 3 little tapping or popping feeling, but something I don't think I can mistake for anything else eeeeeek. 16weeks and 4 days.

@Mrs tartan: I wish I could have milk but I'm allergic to all dairy I end up drinking a lot of soda water instead. I would really love to have some ice cream!

@bushelandapeck: I keep hoping she'll self wean but so far no end in sight. Sorry about your previous loss

@cyndistar3: good to know it does happen and it can be "normal". Thanks I just hope the nausea doesn't last 6 months like with my first LO

@Ms.Mermaid: maternity pants are the best! I've been living in dresses which are my all time favorite, no time for pants over here

@Mrs tartan: I feel like a hoarder. All my snacks are scattered throughout the house. To top it off, I almost cried when I found out someone ate the rest of the chips I was saving for my afternoon snack. Not the healthiest thing but salty snacks are keeping me alive at this point So embarrassing
