Hellobee Boards

@loki: We're going to name them Benjamin and Hudson - which I think pairs well with our son Jackson. It was actually pretty easy to pick names, surprisingly. I'll post a pic of my belly in a bit. It's hard to get a good pic while working that shows it. Everyone I work with says I'm tiny for twins, but I'm truly as big almost as I was the day I had my son. And yes, babies can hiccup at this age. Steady, rhythmic motions are often hiccups.
@banana330: Cribs are definitely a first step in things feeling real! Just wait until your entire nursery is done - then you'll just be anxious for baby to get here.

@delight: xoxoxoxox. Thinking of you and your family.

@BCHossley: @Mrs.Pinecone316: Do you have updates for this? I tried going back through the pages but there's just sooo many of them!

@Banana330: I'll update the calendar too. Were there updates from @everbee (4/23) or @infertilish (4/14) too? I had been tracking them from early on but haven't heard any updates in a long time.

@loki: so funny you were asking about baby hiccups, we were just talking about that at yoga today! I have not noticed them but a couple of the other girls have including one who is 26 weeks. Poor little dears, I hate the hiccups! And yet the idea of a baby hiccuping in your belly is oddly cute...

@marionberry: oh I love those name choices! DH and I have narrowed it down to two boys names but we have agreed we won't pick until we meet him.

I ended up doing the glucose test this afternoon. I wasn't planning it but my clinic has just switched over to the one-hour-no-fasting test so I figured I would do it while I was there. The drink was sickly sweet but ok, and I can't complain as I didn't have an empty stomach! Hopefully I pass and dont have to do the three hour test!

oh and it turns out the rash/veins on my bum cheeks are actually stretch marks. lol. How depressing! Guess my belly isn't the only thing expanding... my dr was surprised I had them on my bum and not my belly I guess all the belly balm I've been using has been working!

@Mrs. Sunshine: oh yay good to know! I'm going to start putting the belly balm on my behind as well!

@Mrs. Sunshine: @meredithNYC: @Banana330: @lulu22: Thanks for liking our names. Obviously we're big fans of them lol.
@lulu22: I was going to tell you they're stretch marks. I got tons on my butt and some on my thighs but none on my belly. They all faded once I lost the weight. Good news is that thus far they haven't reappeared yet - but it's still early. I put lotion on my belly, butt, thighs and boobs.

@Astro Bee: I'm just using Palmers. It's not tested on animals but also only like $5 a tube so I use it. Last pregnancy I started out using both Palmers and Bio oil but got tired of the oil after a while and just used Palmers. At least twice a day. Sometimes I'll put coconut oil on top of it because I usually just use that to moisturize anyway.

ETA: yeah my hips, boobs and inner thighs had stretch marks long before babies. lol

I got the Honest stuff, it's quite greasy but I realistically only remember to use it once a week, so I feel like it's super moisturizing. I don't have any stretch marks yetm but I'd be pissed if I did since I still only have an inkling of a bump! I do however have many stretchmarks on my hips from puberty, so I'm probably bound to get some!

@Astro Bee: I also use the honest company belly balm. I really like it. It's organic and smells lovely. I tend to use it after I shower at night, because as @Banana330 says, it's a little greasy so you probably wouldn't want to put it on your clothes over it, but I dont mind if I get some on my pj's! I plan to try their nipple balm too, once baby comes..

@PawPrints: my mom got a ton of stretch marks both times but I didn't really get any last time! Jessie sat way far back inside me though and I was very small. This baby like the front of belly. She has already made me jump about 20 times with the strength of her movement. I never had that with Jessie. I predict that even in my diligence with my cream, I'm probably going to get some stretch marks this time!

@delight: How heartbreaking! your family will be in my thoughts.

@delight: I hate to see you go. We will miss you.

@delight: I'm thinking of you and your family

@delight: so so sorry for your loss and sorry you've had to make this decision. i wish you lots of peace... sending love and prayers

@delight: I am so, so sorry. ((((hugs)))) I can't imagine what today is like for you...we are all thinking of you and I wish I could give you a great, big hug!!!

@Banana330: Thanks for checking in on me! I updated the dates that I am having a girl:) This board moves quickly so it is hard for me to keep up but I love coming back and seeing how all you ladies are doing! I will try and be better at checking in:) Everything has been pretty smooth for me, working long night shift hours is wearing on me but on days off I feel pretty good!

@delight- I am so sorry you are facing such difficult circumstances. Praying for comfort and guidance for you guys. Hang in there..

Thanks everyone. While yesterday was a tough day to say the least, we made it through and physically I feel good. The worst part was after I woke up the hospital gave us a card with her tiny little stamped footprints. I'm glad to have them but it was very overwhelming. DH and I just looked at each other and burst into tears. I know it'll take time to heal emotionally but I am surrounded by friends and family who support me. Thanks for thinking of me.

@Mrs.Pinecone316: Do you mind updating the list so my name can say Delight #2 daughter Ava born sleeping 12/19/14.
Thanks unless that's too depressing to add. It's just hard to see my due date like that and I still want to come by and check in on you all sometimes!
