I was curious, especially if you're staying at home all day with your LO's, what are your days like?</p> <p>LO is 8 weeks and our days still mostly revolve around feeding and trying to get some good naps in. We go for walks a couple times a day (when the weather lets us) and also when LO is in a good enough mood to get out the door. Activity time usually consists of time on the Activity Mat, listening/singing to music, introducing new simple toys which he doesn't really care too much about yet and just talking with him.</p> <p>We've had some seriously fussy days, some well-balanced days and some peaceful days where he sleeps a ton. Basically just when we think we have a good schedule/flow going, something changes but we're going with the flow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/march-2014-arrivals#post-1471950 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 08:22:49 +0000 bookwormmama 1471950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Several people have mentioned that we need to start an arrivals thread, so here it is!</p> <p>Yay babies! :heart: </p> <p>Name or initial (if you want to share):<br /> Sex:<br /> Due date:<br /> Birth date:<br /> Length:<br /> Weight:<br /> Birth story?:<br /> How's mommy life so far?:</p> <p>Post any pictures you want to share too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-planning-on-more-kids-when-are-you-going-to-start-ttc#post-1518840 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 00:12:24 +0000 anonysquire 1518840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For those of you who are planning on more kids, when do you think you will start trying?</p> <p>Since it took some time to get pregnant the first time, I am so tempted to start trying again ASAP.

In the first 8 weeks I lost about 5lbs, but at my 12 week ultrasound I was up about 10 from my pre-pregnancy weight!!! I think it was partially to do with the doctors scales vs my scales, but still, I got pretty nervous. I lost about 25 lbs prior to getting pregnant and I would love to just get back up to my fat weight during the pregnancy, and not go much higher. Since my 12 week apt I've been eating more sensibly and trying to walk a lot, and I've only put on about 1 lb since then. I know I have to gain weight but I'm so worried about ballooning and not being able to lose the weight after. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be one of those women who gets back into her pre-pregnancy clothes just by breastfeeding and walking with the stroller - it takes work for me, so I'd rather not start from a ridiculous postpartum weight. </p> <p>Anyway - how are you all feeling about this? Anyone interested in a support thread for healthy weight gain/exercise in pregnancy, esp for the last 3-4 months?</p> <p>BTW - I'm not very active on the March 2014 thread - I'm 16w6d today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/march-mommas-what-will-this-lo-be-for-you#post-1076130 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 10:22:56 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1076130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just curious to see how many are first time moms and how many are repeat moms. </p> <p>This is #2 for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/genetic-testing-2#post-1048550 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 07:56:57 +0000 futuremama 1048550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think DH and I are planning on skipping the NT scan. I think I'll be too anxious if the results come back with any increased odds. I'm more of a yes/no person rather than maybe. Did anyone get the Maternit21/Harmony test done? I have a dr. appt next Tues and might be interested in this test. I also need to check with insurance to see what they cover. Did your insurance cover these tests? If not, how much did you pay OOP? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uneasy-feeling#post-1036040 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 10:33:30 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1036040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was 7 weeks, I had an u/s and we saw a heartbeat, but the baby measured a week behind. I was having longer cycles before I got pregnant (30-32 days), so the doctor said I probably ovulated late and changed my due date to March 28th. Since then, I've had an uneasy feeling that something was wrong. Last week, my stomach kind of popped out a bit and I started feeling pregnant, then it went away. The last few days I haven't really felt nauseas, though that is kind of normal for me. Then, last night and this morning, I have had a little spotting. I know that spotting can be normal, but I just can't shake this bad feeling. Luckily, I already had an appointment with my new doctor (my old one doesn't do VBACs) today after work, so hopefully everything is ok.</p> <p>I just really hope I don't start bleeding a lot at work. I'm a high school teacher and I don't know how I'll handle that...</p> <p>Have you had any scares like this? How did you deal with it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-pregnant-with-your-first#post-1009981 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 10:34:46 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1009981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Trying to figure out how many of the March mommies are excitedly expecting #1.

I'm 7w2d and my pants are starting to feel tight. I thought I made it past the 1st trimester last time but seriously, this is getting real!
