And sounds like a good excuse to buy a new coat and some boots! :-D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-nervous-about-this-winter/page/2#post-1859992 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 09:55:25 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1859992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As much as people complain about how rainy it is in the northwest one advantage is that people know how to drive in it and its not a blizzard or snowstorm which can really sideline you. I'm actually excited to be big and pregnant in winter because I'm hoping that will keep my reptilian self warmer this winter. I'm a wuss. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-nervous-about-this-winter/page/2#post-1859989 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 09:54:15 +0000 MrsKoala 1859989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. Last winter sucked so I can't imagine a worse one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-nervous-about-this-winter/page/2#post-1859979 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 09:51:42 +0000 Smurfette 1859979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, only cause I don't want DH stuck up north cause of snow and not be able to get home, when we only see him for 3 days a week as it is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-nervous-about-this-winter/page/2#post-1859965 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 09:45:11 +0000 photojane 1859965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to love snow, but then Dan got a job that requires him to drive in it when it's dark. I'm totally dreading it this year! Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-nervous-about-this-winter/page/2#post-1859913 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 09:28:39 +0000 .twist. 1859913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I am not looking forward to it and it's already starting. </p> <p>I mostly worry because of our new routine. Getting L to daycare if DH is working and then getting myself to the train after drop off. I'm just not sure of logistics if he can't drop both L and I off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-nervous-about-this-winter/page/2#post-1859908 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 09:25:21 +0000 Meridian 1859908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Our last winter in Chicago was SO BRUTAL, I can't imagine it being any worse! And this winter, we'll have a newborn... it'll be tough to be cooped up from Nov - March/April! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-nervous-about-this-winter/page/2#post-1859892 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 09:14:41 +0000 yellowbird 1859892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only because I'll be majorly pregnant and my workplace is not that great at keeping ice under control in the parking lot. I have a feeling I will wipe out </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-nervous-about-this-winter/page/2#post-1859885 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 09:12:54 +0000 loveisstrange 1859885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our area is predicting a very harsh, snowy winter too. I'm spoiled with minimal winter after living overseas! Im really nervous to have to drive in snow and ice this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-nervous-about-this-winter/page/2#post-1859863 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 09:03:47 +0000 alohaorchid 1859863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!!! I hate, hate, HATE everything about winter and last winter just about killed me... so much snow and so cold. Our city is horrible at snow removal too, so I'm nervous about that. As soon as September starts I get anxious knowing that winter is coming. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-nervous-about-this-winter#post-1859831 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 08:47:50 +0000 LuLu Mom 1859831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, the same one is floating around my area on FB and I hate driving in snow so it scares me! Also, the thought of falling on the ice when pregnant makes me so nervous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-nervous-about-this-winter#post-1859797 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 08:37:17 +0000 meredithNYC 1859797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, definitely. I felt so cooped up last winter and it was really rough with a busy toddler. When TTC I avoided a winter due date because I just CAN'T with the cabin fever. LO is due in April, thank God. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-nervous-about-this-winter#post-1859791 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 08:34:07 +0000 lawbee11 1859791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope...one of the pros of living in Texas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-nervous-about-this-winter#post-1859786 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 08:33:33 +0000 sunshineandsushi 1859786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm anxious for December to get here so hurricane season is over! I'm kind of opposite though, since I live in FL. The cooler/cold weather will be a bit welcome after this humid, hot summer, which really doesn't end until mid/late October. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-nervous-about-this-winter#post-1859775 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 08:29:54 +0000 Boheme 1859775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I don't enjoy winter. We don't generally get snow here due to being in the south... Instead we get freezing rain, sleet, and ice storms. Hopefully this year is milder than we're expecting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-nervous-about-this-winter#post-1859771 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 08:28:58 +0000 snowjewelz 1859771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not nervous exactly, just not looking forward to it! I just feel bad that DH will have to work very hard to shovel/snowblow. I will be on maternity leave anyway but will prob get cabin fever! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-nervous-about-this-winter#post-1859769 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 08:27:33 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1859769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not too worried. The city is amazing at moving show so when with a December/January baby I'm not worried about delivering in a snow bank. It'll suck having a really cold winter with a newborn at home and an antsy toddler wanting to go out, but we'll survive. That's why #1 is getting a play kitchen for Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-nervous-about-this-winter#post-1859748 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 08:17:36 +0000 jedeve 1859748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We technically weren't part of the polar vortex, but we had a pretty cold winter. There were two separate weeks where the high was around zero for the week. And the low was -27 or so. (Fahrenheit). We've already had snow this year. </p> <p>I don't really remember how much snowfall we got, because we tend to have snow on the ground from December to March, but I do remember one big storm that dumped a ton. I shoveled two feet of snow off our deck when I was five months pregnant!</p> <p>It snowed here yesterday. Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-nervous-about-this-winter#post-1859735 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 08:12:23 +0000 mrs. wagon 1859735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loooove winter and snow...!!! I am always in the minority, but I cannot wait for winter!!</p> <p>The day I had Wagon Jr. was the coldest of the year.. we didn't know since we were in the hospital for several days straight, but everyone visiting came in totally frozen and said it was crazy cold outside!! I did not mind because even though we couldn't go anywhere, we wouldn't have wanted to anyway because of the cold and snow. The winter olympics were going on, my parents were here, and my mom had 3 kinds of soup going on the stove at all times. We were happy :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-nervous-about-this-winter#post-1859733 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 08:12:15 +0000 Adira 1859733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last winter wasn't too terrible for our area, so I'm hoping for the best! I'm more nervous about having a new baby than all the snow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-nervous-about-this-winter#post-1859728 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 08:09:55 +0000 NovBaby1112 1859728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!!! Being cooped inside, shoveling tons and tons of snow, the heating bills....ughhh....SO not looking forward to winter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-nervous-about-this-winter#post-1859722 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 08:07:29 +0000 mfa_lady 1859722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. Absolutely terrified, mostly because of the same reason as you. Haha. (YAY January mamas!) I live in Virginia, and if we have anything more than a dusting of snow, people go nuts and the roads are horrible because we don't get snow often and therefore don't have the tools to take care of it when we do. I just need one good day..."labor" day!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-nervous-about-this-winter#post-1859711 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 08:03:34 +0000 Anagram 1859711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not worried. I guess I'm lucky to live in an area where the roads are plowed immediately. I'm from the south originally and everyone warned me winter would be so hard in the north east, but so far all the roads are totally cleared where I live and commute, so I don't see the big deal. We don't have AWD or 4WD either.</p> <p>I know LO will be sick, but I feel like there's nothing I can really do about that. but yeah, that part sucks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-nervous-about-this-winter#post-1859708 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 08:01:15 +0000 charmed 1859708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Just got a new 4WD vehicle in anticipation (my little car was not going to make it through another midwest winter like we had last year :bummed: )<br /> And with a January due date, I am very thankful that we live about 5-10 minutes from the hospital and doctor's offices. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-nervous-about-this-winter#post-1859684 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 07:52:22 +0000 Circusbee 1859684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't put much stock into the farmer's almanac predictions, but I'm still terrified that this winter could be even remotely close to last year!! I'm due in February and just might need to barricade myself in my house for the last few weeks of pregnancy! Last winter driving was terrifying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-nervous-about-this-winter#post-1859683 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 07:52:16 +0000 bpcmarj 1859683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am really not looking forward to snow days and paying for daycare when she is not there.</p> <p>But, maybe I will actually let P go out and play in the snow this year, so that part will be fun!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-nervous-about-this-winter#post-1859677 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 07:47:59 +0000 hellobeeboston 1859677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: omg the mention of "polar vortex" just freaked me out. I blocked that from my memory. I also keep hearing about the farmers almanac, ugh. I don't think it will be that bad. I'm being optimistic!<br /> My LO hated the snow last year. Hoping he will like it more now that he's bigger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-nervous-about-this-winter#post-1859676 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 07:47:24 +0000 Happygal 1859676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only time I get nervous is when people point out how it could be really tricky getting to the hospital when I'm in labor if we have a lot of snow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-nervous-about-this-winter#post-1859640 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 07:17:17 +0000 JerricaBenton 1859640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Greentea: hmm a fireplace and a cup of tea and a snow shoveling service/pay neighborhood kids to shovel ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-nervous-about-this-winter#post-1859562 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 06:02:31 +0000 blackbird 1859562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!!! Only because I am pretty sure my new job doesn't allow us to work from home :( </p>
