He also let me have a lot of control with DDs name but i have a feeling will be more opinionated with DD2.</p> <p>@Kaohinani: That's lovely and so fun! Do they like having Christmas-y names? I'm not sure how I would feel having to share a bday with a major holiday AND it being my namesake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2019-mamas#post-2893880 Wed, 07 Aug 2019 17:28:10 +0000 Kaohinani 2893880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Clementine12: Sneaky peeking 👀 on this board. 😉 I love the holiday-named trend for Dec babies. I have FOUR family members born on either the 24th or 25th of December... Yes, you read that correctly. 😉 My aunt (Christmas baby) is named "Joyce" for "Joyus." My nephew (DH'S side) is "Noel." My great aunt (24th b.day) is Noelle. AND, my cousin is "Jubilee." My husband, his sister, and DS are all Dec babes as well but have "traditional, non-celebratory names."<br /> :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2019-mamas#post-2893855 Wed, 07 Aug 2019 14:46:33 +0000 periwinklebee 2893855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Clementine12: I hadn't even thought of it! I find it super hard to get my DH to have a serious conversation about names until it's really last minute, because he finds it way too amusing to suggest outrageous names and laugh at my look of shock :silly: So we've got nada for baby girl. I would ideally like a name that's not top 50, but when people look at it they've still heard of it and know how to pronounce it. Last name, despite being short, really confuses people in terms of pronunciation, so I'd really like the first name to be straightforward. But my husband would never spring for a super common name... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2019-mamas#post-2893813 Wed, 07 Aug 2019 10:31:29 +0000 Clementine12 2893813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How do you all feel about holiday names? This is mostly for fun, but my mom has been campaigning hard for Noelle as a name (she says no one thinks of Christmas with the name Noelle :wink: )</p> <p>It's not a real contender for us, but what do you think? What names are you currently considering? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2019-mamas#post-2888072 Tue, 18 Jun 2019 17:56:29 +0000 Clementine12 2888072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ModernDayJibarita: congrats!

I'm 11 now. It popped around the same time with my son as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2019-mamas#post-2885476 Fri, 24 May 2019 09:53:12 +0000 Clementine12 2885476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ModernDayJibarita: wow mama, you look amazing!

Nausea &amp; headaches all day everyday (but thankfully no vomiting).</p> <p>Got a fetal doppler and have heard the HB a few times so I announced at work since it was getting ridiculously hard to hide the bump. </p> [attach=2268/19/prze01.449x600.B55353E5-BD24-45BD-BFC3-F502FF97DB45.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2019-mamas#post-2885349 Wed, 22 May 2019 15:21:10 +0000 Clementine12 2885349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a dating ultrasound yesterday and saw a heartbeat, so we're starting to tell family. Wasn't the most impressed with the tech/company - no way to print pics and I asked to be informed as soon as she saw a heartbeat (which was immediate with my daughter!) and was instead told a few minutes into it - luckily I could see my husband's face and knew everything was ok.</p> <p>On track for a baby due 12/25 🎄. 9 weeks today and feeling pregnant. I swear I'm showing already...</p> <p>How is everyone feeling? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2019-mamas#post-2884593 Wed, 15 May 2019 09:13:25 +0000 periwinklebee 2884593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: Thank you!!!

Last year we made the extended trip (multiple flights, long car ride) to see my family, and while I love seeing them, DS got air sick multiple times and the trip was absolutely miserable... So I'm all for having an excuse to stay put! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2019-mamas#post-2884493 Tue, 14 May 2019 14:55:24 +0000 Clementine12 2884493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@periwinklebee: that is an excellent point! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2019-mamas#post-2884477 Tue, 14 May 2019 13:05:05 +0000 periwinklebee 2884477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Clementine12: Thank you! DS was nearly two weeks late, so I figure we'll see what happens if it ends up working out. On the bright side, I wouldn't mind having an excuse to stay put this year for Thanksgiving and Christmas. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2019-mamas#post-2884462 Tue, 14 May 2019 12:30:47 +0000 Clementine12 2884462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@periwinklebee: thank you, I appreciate that. I hope you start feeling better soon and have a smooth and healthy pregnancy from here on out. How are you feeling about a baby due right around Christmas? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2019-mamas#post-2884448 Tue, 14 May 2019 11:54:51 +0000 periwinklebee 2884448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wasn't sure if this board would end up being active, but I'll join in: </p> <p>Location: East Coast<br /> EDD: 12/27/2019<br /> How far along: 7+4<br /> First child? 2nd, I have a 15 mo<br /> First doctor appointment: today<br /> Any symptoms so far? Nausea, exhaustion, which diclegis makes that much worse.... Probably about the same as last pregnancy but having a toddler makes everything way more exhausting. </p> <p>Had the first appointment today and everything so far looks good. Measuring 7+5, 7+3 based on LMP. Plan is to get NIPT once I'm far enough along, and another US in a month. </p> <p>@Clementine12: :goodluck: :goodluck: I had a couple of losses before my first pregnancy, and am now AMA, so I also have been cautious and haven't really acknowledged that it could actually, maybe work out. Keeping my fingers crossed for your first appointment! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2019-mamas#post-2884413 Tue, 14 May 2019 10:30:09 +0000 Clementine12 2884413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi ladies. I'm feeling more confident in this pregnancy so I thought I'd join in.</p> <p>Location: Western USA<br /> EDD: 12/25/2019 🎄<br /> How far along: 7+6<br /> First child? 2nd, DD just turned 2<br /> First doctor appointment: Saturday (5/18)<br /> Any symptoms so far? So many. Way more than my first pregnancy and way more than my losses. Lately, mostly exhaustion, bloating, nausea, and all food and drinks taste off.<br /> Who have you told? DH and DD, and my midwife.</p> <p>I had an early loss in February that was hard and it's been hard for me to connect with this pregnancy. I spotted 4w to 6w so I'm still fearful of a MMC or something else going wrong. However, at the moment I am undeniably pregnant. I am very symptomatic which might be a blessing with my state of mind lately.</p> <p>I see my midwife on Saturday and will get an ultrasound sometime next week I assume. I'm hoping that helps me feel better about it all.</p> <p>How is everyone feeling? Have you had an unltrasound yet? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2019-mamas#post-2882795 Wed, 01 May 2019 13:44:43 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2882795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here’s my test. I was so nervous that I couldn’t wait until I got home. I took it in the Target bathroom while holding my 1yr old. 😆</p> <p>[attach=3657/19/pqu9ek.450x600.D20A68B2-357B-4AFA-9261-8971187B1C69.jpeg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2019-mamas#post-2882794 Wed, 01 May 2019 13:43:33 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2882794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it odd that my OB isn’t having me come in until June 11th? My other two pregnancies were with an RE (we had to have fertility treatments), so this is all new and different to me! Such an amazing miracle. Anyway, I went in around 6 weeks with both of them. So, waiting until 10 weeks seems crazy! Ha. Also, I’m 40. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2019-mamas#post-2882793 Wed, 01 May 2019 13:41:40 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2882793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Location: Oregon<br /> EDD: 12/31<br /> How far along: 5W1D<br /> First child? Third! I have two girls, 4 and 14 months.<br /> First doctor appointment: 6/11<br /> Any symptoms so far? Hangover feeling that I have gotten all three pregnancies. It’s super obvious. Also felt twinges around implantation that I’ve only ever felt on BFP cycles. Cramps (made me think AF was coming).<br /> Who have you told? One girlfriend and DH! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2019-mamas#post-2880961 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 11:24:03 +0000 schubr03 2880961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ModernDayJibarita: that’s fantastic news!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2019-mamas#post-2880952 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 10:37:59 +0000 ModernDayJibarita 2880952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2nd beta came back at 1330!
