Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2015-gtky-1st-trimester/page/2#post-1688842 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 11:13:03 +0000 Happygal 1688842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love all the dog pictures! And since we're on the dog topic, is there anything you did/will do to prepare your dog for the new baby?</p> <p>I want to work on my dog's guest greeting skills (she's basically a maniac) and some other basic manners. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2015-gtky-1st-trimester/page/2#post-1687387 Sun, 08 Jun 2014 12:28:41 +0000 HappyBaker 1687387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: Oh nice! I grew up sort of near Providence, and my parents still live that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2015-gtky-1st-trimester/page/2#post-1686846 Sat, 07 Jun 2014 18:55:15 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1686846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: I am allergic to everything (even our hypoallergenic dog) but my DH would likely be envious of you (or at least he would have been before we got and fell in love with our pup). </p> <p>@namaste: thank you! So helpful :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2015-gtky-1st-trimester/page/2#post-1686825 Sat, 07 Jun 2014 18:33:23 +0000 namaste 1686825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Confetti: Ah your SO's reaction just gave me the feels. </p> <p>WG is such a developing area so I'm not sure about things for LOs directly in town. I lived closed by for a year (Windermere) so I suggest your friend check out the Dr. Phillips area for a bit more! There is a YMCA there that has an amazing program for LO's and I know the new group fitness director so they have a pretty good gym program. </p> <p>She should definitely browse around. There's lots of parks. Disney Moms pretty much rule South Orlando so if she wants to integrate quickly, I'd look into that. Most of my mom friends who lived in the area just moved out in the past few months :( I will keep asking around!</p> <p>So many cute puppies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2015-gtky-1st-trimester/page/2#post-1686517 Sat, 07 Jun 2014 11:39:11 +0000 Tidybee 1686517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Espion: if I end up being a January mommy, I'll be another member of team green with you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2015-gtky-1st-trimester/page/2#post-1686509 Sat, 07 Jun 2014 11:29:55 +0000 mfa_lady 1686509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my gosh, LOVE all the dogs!

What was your SO's response to finding out you're pregnant?<br /> He was shocked. Then he made the muscle-man pose, ha!</p> <p>3. Where do you live? What's fun to do in your town?<br /> I live in The way up north and to the left. There is everything to do here!!</p> <p>4. Will you find out the baby's sex, or have it be a surprise?@Happygal: I am the only Team Greener so far! We'll be two and done, plus this will be a scheduled c-section.

My German Shepherd is a shedding machine, and I sometimes am envious of those with the doodle.</p> <p> @Cupcake: Boston Ts! My dad grew up with those and loves them. They seem to have big personalities.</p> <p>Looks like we have no team greeners so far! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2015-gtky-1st-trimester/page/2#post-1686315 Sat, 07 Jun 2014 06:56:34 +0000 Cupcake 1686315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How did I miss the dog theme?

Would love any leads for anything in your area that I could pass along (friends you have with kids her age, suggestions on local fun, etc.)</p> <p>So, on my end...</p> <p>SO's reaction: Just a big big hug. We had a loss 3 months prior, so he was just happy but speechless. He has been wonderful about supporting my crazy :)</p> <p>Where do you live: Chicago :) Originally from Ohio, but have been here since '06.</p> <p>Finding out? You betcha. With my first, I didn't have any morning sickness, but this time, I feel awful, so that coupled with timing makes me guess GIRL, but we have time for that...</p> <p>And a pic... since we are stuck on a dog theme, I thought I would include a shot of my labradoodle Kenzie who turns three tomorrow. Best puppy in the world. </p> [attach=2627/14/n6rywl.600x399.december-61-1.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2015-gtky-1st-trimester/page/2#post-1685854 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 19:18:49 +0000 sorrycharlie 1685854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiger: I am 45 minutes SW of Boston :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2015-gtky-1st-trimester/page/2#post-1685754 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 17:28:58 +0000 namaste 1685754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cupcake: haha I love your husband's reaction. I could see my husband being the same.</p> <p>@mfa_lady: You go girl! I signed up to run my second 5k last year with friends. Only one other one showed up and she was super out of shape/just doing it to be a team player so we walked the whole thing. I felt bummed because I had trained but hey, good friend points? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2015-gtky-1st-trimester/page/2#post-1685595 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 15:38:13 +0000 Cupcake 1685595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1. Share a picture, any picture! Baby cakes #2 @ 9 weeks!<br /> 2. What was your SO's response to finding out you're pregnant?<br /> He was very excited. Then proceeded to have a mini melt down about having 2 under 2.<br /> 3. Where do you live? Suburbs of Philly. As of lately we really just take baby cakes to playgrounds. We lead very exciting lives. :)<br /> 4. Will you find out the baby's sex? Absolutely. hopefully as soon as possible! </p> [attach=2799/14/n6rle4.600x450.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2015-gtky-1st-trimester/page/2#post-1685418 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 14:35:20 +0000 Happygal 1685418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: loving and annoying all at once seems to be a common trait of intelligent dogs. That would describe my girl as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2015-gtky-1st-trimester/page/2#post-1684236 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 09:15:49 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1684236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can add me to the dog lovers. We have a four year old Australian Shepherd named Nola. She's a pain in the butt and the best dog ever all at the same time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2015-gtky-1st-trimester/page/2#post-1684235 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 09:15:44 +0000 mfa_lady 1684235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: The 10k is AWESOME! The first year we lived here, I did it with a friend even though I am NOT a runner--she talked it up to me for months, with all this "the adrenaline will get you through, yadda yadda." Well, she was right, and I felt great...and then SHE GOT A CRAMP AT MILE 1.5. Hahahahaha. I was so aggravated, but we still had a great time. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2015-gtky-1st-trimester/page/2#post-1684227 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 09:14:02 +0000 Gigi2 1684227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@happygal: I'll go for gold and then would be happy to share more on a thread w/ bump pics, etc :) sounds fun! My golden is definitely getting white in the face - she looks so wise! still acts like a silly puppy though (she's 9). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2015-gtky-1st-trimester/page/2#post-1684218 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 09:12:28 +0000 Happygal 1684218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Gigi2: yes, get Gold! I think we should do another thread for pictures of our expanding bellies, and I'll only share on Gold. I love old Goldens, too. Is your dog's face getting white?</p> <p>@namaste: looks like perfection.</p> <p>@CatchAFallingStar: I'm 7 weeks today!</p> <p>@mfa_lady: you're making me want to visit Richmond. There is a lot of fun things to do there. I did the 10K last year and it was a party scene! Half-way through I was wishing I was on the other side with the people cheering instead of running. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2015-gtky-1st-trimester#post-1684173 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 09:03:26 +0000 Gigi2 1684173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi ladies! Hope I'm not too late -</p> <p>1. Share a picture, any picture! - shy to post a photo! should I get gold!? haven't signed up for it...<br /> 2. What was your SO's response to finding out you're pregnant? - he was SO excited! thrilled. and he's obviously decided to just be super positive about everything baby-related - like "I feel so sick"//"that's great!! baby's still in there!" I also asked him if he thought we'd have boy or girl and he triumphantly yelled "BOY!" haha. Who knows.<br /> 3. Where do you live? What's fun to do in your town? I'm in NYC! Honestly, the most fun for me is leaving town!! We're looking forward to a suburbs move sometime in 2015.<br /> 4. Will you find out the baby's sex, or have it be a surprise? I want to wait, husband wants to find out. We have 12.5 weeks to decide!</p> <p>Nice to meet you all!</p> <p>Oh - LOVE the dog photos. I have the sweetest dog too, an old golden. @catchafallingstar: love your lab! so cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2015-gtky-1st-trimester#post-1684099 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 08:44:05 +0000 namaste 1684099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: Ugh if I could, I would live in there. I would live in a bubble underwater for the next few months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2015-gtky-1st-trimester#post-1684008 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 08:21:36 +0000 mfa_lady 1684008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@namaste: I WANT TO GO TO THE POOL NOW. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2015-gtky-1st-trimester#post-1683999 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 08:20:00 +0000 mfa_lady 1683999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fun idea--thanks, @Happygal:! </p> <p>1. Share a picture, any picture! I'll try to remember to post my US pic later--I'm at work right now, so I can't!</p> <p>2. What was your SO's response to finding out you're pregnant? Well, I had just had a feeling I was pregnant during the entire TWW. I kept saying things like "Maybe there's a baby in there!" and my husband kind of thought I was losing it. Ha! So, I made my best friend talk me out of testing late on a Thursday night, but when I woke up on Friday morning, the first thing I thought was PREGNANCY TEST. RIGHT NOW. So I caved, and it was a blaring positive. (I thought I was 11DPO, according to dating scan it was 13.) Anyway, we were headed out of town for a family wedding that weekend, and had already arranged for cab services to take us, BIL and SIL home from the wedding. So, I called my husband (he had already left for work; it was one of his really early days) and said "Well....we didn't need to get that cab for the wedding." He thought about it for a second and was like "WHAT! ARE YOU SERIOUS! YOU TOOK A TEST? IT'S POSITIVE?" It was super cute. </p> <p>3. Where do you live? What's fun to do in your town? I live in the Richmond, VA area. There are always lots of fun festivals and stuff to go to here, but also the James River runs right through the city so we spend a lot of time in our canoe on the water. :)</p> <p>4. Will you find out the baby's sex, or have it be a surprise? I think we'll find out. We talked about team green before I got pregnant the first time, and then two days after my BFP, DH was all like "Sooooo when can we find out if it's a boy or a girl?" Um, in 16 weeks, honey. Ha! Anyway, this time, I think we're just accepting that we want to know and will find out. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2015-gtky-1st-trimester#post-1683942 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 08:06:09 +0000 namaste 1683942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel so late! </p> <p>1. Share a picture, any picture!<br /> Here's me lazing around in the pool last Thursday because water helps me with my nausea. </p> <p>2. What was your SO's response to finding out you're pregnant?<br /> We had just decided to begin TTC next year because I'd always been told I'd have difficulties getting pregnant (cysts, etc.) So telling him was funny but he instantly freaked out and then started settling into excited mode.</p> <p>3. Where do you live? What's fun to do in your town?<br /> Well, I blog and I'm pretty visible online although I haven't made any announcements. I'm in Celebration (Orlando), FL. We're the little town that Disney could so there are fun shops downtown, plenty of walking/biking trails, and Orlando is known for the theme parks. I'm more involved in the art/food scene in places like Winter Park, Thorton Park, and etc. </p> <p>4. Will you find out the baby's sex, or have it be a surprise?<br /> I will find out because it's our first. </p> [attach=5083/14/n6r0oj.600x600.jpeg.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2015-gtky-1st-trimester#post-1683882 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 07:39:03 +0000 HappyBaker 1683882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@charmed: Ha yes for my first daughter even though they said they were sure she was a girl at the gender scan, the rest of my pregnancy I was terrified they got it wrong! We had another ultrasound around 32 weeks and I made the tech double check, she thought I was nuts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2015-gtky-1st-trimester#post-1683876 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 07:34:13 +0000 charmed 1683876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: I've heard it's gorgeous in Traverse City! (I'm a terrible Michigander and have never been that far north :shocked: )</p> <p>@MrsTiger: I'd love to be able to find out gender through a blood test! I'm worried that the baby won't cooperate at our gender scan, or we'll get told the wrong gender. I'm happy to have a boy or a girl, but I need to know which I'm planning for :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2015-gtky-1st-trimester#post-1683851 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 07:19:53 +0000 HappyBaker 1683851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2. SO's reaction - I made brownies and wrote "big sister" on them in frosting, and then told him my DD had made him something. He had just gotten home from a bachelor party weekend so was SUPER hungover, so it took a few minutes for it to sink in! But he is super excited.</p> <p>3. Hometown: MA, about 45 minutes west of Boston...for fun right now we are just checking out all the local playgrounds since DD is 21 months now and can actually play on them. But there is tons around!</p> <p>4. We are definitely finding out baby's sex, I am way too much of a planner to not know. I've heard that sometimes now they do it via blood test instead of waiting for the anatomy scan? That would be awesome to find out early! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2015-gtky-1st-trimester#post-1683598 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 22:50:07 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1683598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: Ahhh! I bet she's so adorable. :) How far along are you in your pregnancy? (I forgot somehow) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2015-gtky-1st-trimester#post-1683301 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 20:28:50 +0000 Happygal 1683301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: we have a German Shepherd. Biggest goofball/cuddlebug you'll meet, and she has the stomach of a lab! </p>
