    @Jenn23: I am so sorry to hear this. It's what I continuously worry about myself. I don't know when I will even get my next ultrasound. Sending big hugs your way.

    @astro bee: I've taken a sip here or there in front of people. My mom whines but I really don't care.

    how was everyone's weekend? how is everyone feeling today?

    we had a super busy weekend with a girls/boys night on friday and a daytime wedding followed by an engagement party on saturday. my husband told his best friend about the babe and he was soooo cute about it... it made me excited for a couple more weeks when we can tell everyone! last night i took my pill way too late and threw up eeeeeeeeverything. i forgot to take another pill after so i am feeling horrible today i still have this persistent cough and it triggers my gag reflex so it's a brutal combination and i'm just miserable. as per usual haha.

    I disappeared again last week, I was away on vacation and didn't have very much internet available. But I am back and my vacations are officially over so I am hoping I can keep up now!

    @loki: Sorry you aren't feeling well today! I'm excited to tell everyone too! Just counting down the days! We've told our parents but no one else yet! It's getting harder to keep the secret though!

    @loki: Weekend was good! Felt pretty gross, but managed to get a lot accomplished in terms of cooking, cleaning and even some fun with LO at the apple orchard.

    Last night I mysteriously felt good in the evening after feeling like crap consistently for about 4 weeks. This morning I feel a lot less gross. I wonder if I've turned a corner, sickness-wise? I feel like it's way too early but I'm hopeful. Of course, I also worry that it means something is wrong with the baby.

    @HappyBluebird: oooh go anywhere fun on vacation? we have told our parents too. and most of my best girl friends... two of them had babies last week and one is due 5 weeks before me so it was impossible to keep it from them! going public will make everything easier though. so exciting.

    @meredithNYC: oooo hopefully you're over the hump! that would be amazing. i keep trying to avoid taking my pills to see if i have rounded a corner but no such luck yet.

    @meredithNYC: I started feeling better a couple of days ago and had the same inkling of worry. But I wasn't sick at all last pregnancy so I know it doesn't mean much.

    @loki: We had my son's first birthday party this weekend. It was a lot of work but turned out amazing. I also told a few more friends about the babies. I don't really follow the 12 week rule. I read an article last week that celebrates telling early because you're celebrating that life as long as it lasts vs maybe not telling and never getting to celebrate it. I kind of like thinking about it like that but I certainly understand why others don't want to.

    @marionberry: aw so fun! ya i love that idea and kinda feel the same way. i've told a lot of people that i know i would tell if i had a loss. with certain people, i feel protective of the info and don't want to share... but with my close friends, i told them instantly.

    i'm wondering if any second time moms would wanna share their first LOs names (or even pics!)? I'm so curious! if not, i totally understand. i just want to get to know everyone! haha.

    @loki: we went to the beach in SC. It was a relaxing vacation, the weather was a little warm but it was a nice break from work

    @meredithNYC: I started feeling a break in nausea last week for a few days - and overall it's a bit better, though I still have pockets of feeling yucky. I don't think it's anything to worry about, and from what I've read, it is possible that around week 10 or so, to start seeing a relief in some symptoms.

    @marionberry: also love the idea of telling early, to celebrate life. We also have been looking at it that the more people we tell early, the more prayers we have!

    @Mrs. Sunshine: what beautiful pictures! thanks for sharing - she is so precious! and that beach looks wonderful!

    @loki: weekend was great! DH took me to see Garth Brooks Friday night and it was amazing! We were bums on Saturday - lots of naps, cleaning and relaxing - it was wonderful! I teach Sunday school at church, so did that yesterday and it was so great to see the little kiddies!

    I'm EXHAUSTED today. I thought my nausea was getting better, but felt so awful last night, I literally called my mom to complain. She suggested something bland, like mashed potatoes which totally helped. I am still having awful night sweats (anyone else?) and wake up drenched and freezing - not fun - and not making for a good night's sleep. I so wished I could've stayed home and in bed today!! But again - happy to feel crummy if it means baby is doing well! Tomorrow is 11 weeks - so happy about that!

    @marionberry: Jackson is SO stinking cute!!!!! I love his smile - thanks for sharing!!!

    @SunshineMcC: thank you! The beach was nice but for future reference I wouldn't recommend taking your 11 month old on a 12 hour car trip to the beach & have them end up hating sand lol we won't be going back for awhile lol
    I get night sweats too. But I'm freezing when I lay down. I never know how to dress for bed these days....I hope you get the rest you need tonight!

    @SunshineMcC: omggg i'm dying to see Garth Brooks, i hate how the tour is so secretive because i would love to know if he's coming to Canada!!! i signed up for the emails and keep checking the website so hopefully i won't miss my chance. even if he comes to a US city that's close by, i'm willing to drive. that musta been an unreal show!

    i go to bed FREEZING and wake up sweating... i just generally have terrible sleeps and this cold/cough is not helping. i've been sleeping in the guest bedroom for over a week

    @loki: Sure! My LO is 2 and her name is Gwendolyn (Gwen). Here she is on our front porch being silly and using newspaper bags as boots.

    @marionberry: I think I spoke too soon because I'm feeling gross again, but still - even getting a break from it is quite an improvement!

    @SunshineMcC: I so hope you're right and that I'm lucky enough to have short-lived morning sickness (though it certainly has felt anything but short).

    Last but not least, loving the sweet bebe pics all have shared!

    @meredithNYC: oh my goodness, i'm in love! she is precious and i adore her hair! i'm blond and my husband is half japanese and i am secretly (not so secretly) praying our little one is a blondie, though it's unlikely. i'll love it either way but something about little blond babies just slays me! i always just imagined myself with blond kids because EVERYONE in my family is blond.

  24. SunshineMcC

    kiwi / 563 posts

    @meredithNYC: totally agree with @loki - that hair is gorgeous! She's so sweet!!!!

    @loki: what a great idea to ask people to share these pics!

  25. meredithNYC

    pomegranate / 3314 posts

    @loki: anything is possible! I expect Gwen's hair will darken within a few years as both my husband and I had blond hair as babies/toddlers, but are darker haired now. But I am loving it while it lasts.

    @SunshineMcC: haha i was thinking of asking people to share pics of themselves and their husbands too! didn't know if people would think it was creepy to ask to see little ones. i just feel like april we'll all be so close (hopefully!) so it's weird not knowing people's names/faces... maybe i'm just a creeper.

    @Mrs. Sunshine: happy birthday to Jessie! What a sweetheart!
    @marionberry: awww Jackson is so adorable! happy birthday to him too! I love seeing the pictures! Glad your party turned out well.
    @meredithNYC: Gwen is so pretty, I love her hair!

    This is my little girl, she turned one in August.

    I have my appointment in two hours. I feel like throwing up, not sure if it's nausea or just nerves.

    @meredithNYC: haha she is so cute! She looks so serious, like mom, I'm not pretending, these ARE boots.
    @loki: I don't think you're a creeper, I think it was a great idea!
    @delight: ahh, she's gorgeous. Those little cheeks!! Can't wait to hear how your appointment goes!

    I forgot to take diclegis Saturday night before bed and really paid for it yesterday. I was sick all day! Better today, though. Tomorrow is another ultrasound and I'm super nervous after getting the bad news at our ultrasound last Thursday. I have weekly ultrasounds until I graduate from the RE to the OB. I'm so nervous!!

    Love seeing all the cute LO's! Here is my son Jay who will be two in just under two weeks!

    @Jenn23: so absolutely adorable. every single one of these LOs are SO beautiful!!!! thanks for sharing. ugh forgetting to take it is the worst.... i definitely pay for it as well. fingers crossed for great news tomorrow

    @loki: Ha, you're not a creeper at all - I agree in terms of hopefully how well we'll all know one another by April. A couple of my girlfriends were bees on the original weddingbee site and they actually had trips and meet-ups from time to time where they would meet in person - how fun is that?!

    @delight: She is so beautiful! Good luck on the appointment today - I felt so darn nervous and just awful last Thursday before our appointment. Here's hoping you have a wonderful appointment!

    @Jenn23: Jay is so cute! I love his overalls and the look on his face! Sending you good luck and vibes for your next appointment!

    Oh my, I'm loving the pics of everyone's little ones! So cute!

    I'm kind of looking forward to telling my inlaws so that I can ask them to send me pictures of DH when he was a baby! I want a glimpse of what our little one might look like!

    I have my first appointment with the high risk OB tomorrow and I am already nervous! The last appointment I had was 5 weeks ago, before they transferred me to the high risk clinic, so I am so desperate to know that everything is ok in there...

    @delight: Such beautiful eyes and eyelashes!

    @SunshineMcC: @delight: @HappyBluebird: @SunshineMcC: Thank you!!

    @Jenn23: What a cutie! And good luck at the next ultrasound. Good to hear diclegis is working for you. I've been taking it and while it's not a miracle drug, it certainly softens the edges a bit.

    pomelo / 5326 posts

    @lulu22: oh good luck tomorrow! I'll be thinking of you!
    @jenn23: awww look at him walking around! I'm still waiting for that with mine. He is so cute! Best wishes at your scan tomorrow. You must be nervous, but think positively!
    @SunshineMcC: @loki: @Mrs. Sunshine: thanks to everyone for their well wishes today. I almost had to leave you girls, but only cause my due date is now April 30th. All looked good, there is a strong heart beat, and measuring pretty close to what. I thought with the 28th. What a relief, I feel like I can breath again. Man, these first few months are so scary.

    @delight: so happy to hear it. I can totally relate - it is really scary. I really hope I can relax a bit after 12 weeks! 1 more! And @loki is right - we'd never let you leave us!
