Hellobee Boards

@Mrs D: @Alivoo01: @Grace: Thanks for your well wishes on the kittle! He's doing cautiously better now. My mother took him for the weekend and now I'm neurotic and will be asking my dr to check for toxoplasmosis at my next dr's appointment.

The nausea is gone. I repeat: The Nausea Is Gone!!!!! OMG to feel NORMAL again! So let it be noted: at week 15 it stopped. Hopefully the same holds true for you girls (if not sooner) and this provides some comfort :).

@lawbee11: My U/S appointment was almost exactly like yours, right down to the bedside manner. I also have an alien pic ;D.

She didn't even tell us how far along I was; in fact, she asked me for the duedate. LOVING the idea of a Facebook group! email away!

@Mrs Hedgehog: I want to do a gender reveal party ^_^. Complete with inside-colored cake.

@msmay: @StbHisMrs: congrats on good appointments!!

@Mrs D: what a cute bump! I'm still waiting for my fat to redistribute. Right now I have two bumps XD;;. Thanks for the heads-up on old navy...enjoy your trip!

@Modern Daisy: I vote for surprise reveal too! I've heard that when people know the gender, you end up with way too many clothes and people buying off-registry a lot more. And the cake idea is so fun! Since we're not finding out the gender, DH and I decided we're going to have people place bets at the shower for gender, weight/length, guess at names. Whoever comes closest will get the first picture once baby is here!

@.twist.: I LOVE that pattern!

@StrawberryBee: eeee! Hi baby! And I'm glad to hear your kitty is doing better! Congrats on the nausea being gone as well. Mine has definitely lightened up, but there are times it hits like a truck. Let's just say I would love to brush my teeth without throwing up, yuck.

DH and I are at my mom's house this weekend. We're telling the parents today! (So nervous....!!!!!!)

@msmay: ahhhh, what an exciting day!! Have fun telling

I hope your nausea dissipates soon!

@.twist.: Hey - can you add my ultrasound on Feb 12 and reg appt on March 6?

@.twist.: We have an Appt on Feb 13. Could you add that? Thanks!

@Mrs Hedgehog: My first U/S was at 12 weeks, they didn't offer an 8 week one. And that was only because I chose the NT scan. I believe the next one will be between 18 and 20 (anatomy scan, woot!). Not sure what comes after that.

If it helps, "Butter" by Restoration Hardware is a very pretty yellow paint color. I've used it in several rooms. Some other paint stores have the color in their computer and can replicate it (Sherwin Williams maybe?).

@Grace: @Mrs Hedgehog: Done & Done!!

@Mrs Hedgehog:Thanks! My husband didn't get a choice. He's bad at decorating. lol

@StrawberryBee: Haha yay for another alien baby! At least we have cute aliens

@msmay: Hope telling the parents went well! I am sure they're excited.

@.twist.: Love the fabric swatch! That's going to look awesome.

@skipper2010: We're having an elective gender scan on 3/2....I cannot wait!!

@msmay: Aww, that's awesome!! So cool that you were able to get an audience for your big news

@Modern Daisy: @Mrs Hedgehog: Thanks! It's finally starting to feel real now!

@msmay: yay! I know when we told everybody it felt like s weight was lifted and we could talk about this super exciting thing!

@.twist.: Can you add me?

greenebee - Aug. 18 (Due Date), next ultra March 3.

hi ladies. sorry i pop in every once in a while, but i do try to read every now and then. DS has been teething and going through a growth spurt and sick so it's been tons of fun with him :o)

so as of right now my due date is August 15th. i had my NT scan last tuesday and they measured the baby a week and 1 day ahead, so i don't know if my doc will change my due date based on that or waIt for my anatomy scan on March 25th, or just keep it the 15th(i'm hoping for him to move it up! although i'll be a scheduled c-section this time, so no going past, or even to my due this time!!) my next appointment is feb. 28th. so we'll see. everything looks great with the baby, NT scan results came back normal. still lots of nausea...hoping it goes away soon! it's so different being pregnant this time. last time i never got nauseous and wasn't nearly as tired, but my doc is right, i can't really rest this time with a 9 month old running around that i have to chase after all day! we don't know what we are having yet, but we ARE finding out(props to you mamas who are team green, i could never do it!) but the baby wasn't being a little uncooperative at the NT scan so she had a guess, so we just told her to wait until our next appointment to tell us for sure :o)

@sarbear: a week and a day ahead?! Wow! That's a lot!! I was measuring 3 days ahead at my dating ultrasound so they moved my due date from the 9th to the 12th. Then at my NT scan, the baby was measuring 1 day ahead of that, but we're keeping my due date the same for now.

@lawbee11: The hubby and I bought the car seat this past weekend because we cashed in on BRU's 25% off trade-in event. We got the Chicco KeyFit 30. We're looking at the City Select for a stroller, but will need to look into the uppababy Cruz as it looks very similar to the City Versa which is a contendor for us also!

@msmay: We're also trying to figure out our car situation. My car is fine (Jeep Liberty) but hubby has a single cab Dodge Ram and it's not practical for a car seat. I mean, he could turn the airbag off, but there's no way we could go anywhere as a family in it...We're trying to decide if we'll just get by with him rarely (if ever) driving the baby. My biggest objection is that I will NEVER be able to go anywhere in my car by myself and I HATE driving his truck (it's so big, it's like a school bus). But, money is tight, so unless we can sell his truck for a lot and get a great deal, looks like I'm just going to have to suck it up and deal for now.

@Grace: That's great news, so glad to hear it!!!!!

@Grace: That's awesome!! So glad everything is ok!!

@Alivoo01: Wow! I have not slept through the night without peeing, but I usually only have to go once a night. Sometimes twice, but never 3-4x! I try to drink a ton of water in the morning and afternoon, then slowly lessen the amount I drink before bed so that I am not up constantly.

So I am wondering if anyone is starting to seriously think about names. I've been thinking about it a lot this month, and am wondering if anyone can give me advice/opinions. We're going to keep it secret from our loved ones until the baby is born, but I need some assistance from impartial people!

For a girl, I'm wavering between Cynthia and Kathleen for middle names. I really think I want to go with Cynthia, for my mom who passed away two years ago (yesterday actually). My concern is, there's not a lot of names that flow with Cynthia for a middle name. Do you really think flow matters that much, considering the full name isn't said that often...Anyways, it's something that has been on my mind a lot! Kathleen would be my second choice, for a dear friend who passed away 9 years ago (also in February...does anyone else hate February)? Anyways, some of my favorites are:

Autumn
Camryn
Clare
Ella
Georgia
Gillian
Grace
Hailey
Harper
Isabel
Leighton
Norah
Reagan
Samantha
Skylar
Summer
Sydney
Tara
Tessa
Virginia
Violet

Do any of these go well with Cynthia in your opinion?

@JamieLee: I LOOVe the name Violet and it was my first choice until I realized that it's too close to 'violent' and those of you who are in the FB group who know what my last name is realize how mean that would be. If I had a normal last name, that would be my first choice!

I am letting DH name our first baby and possibly even all of our children. It's already made him bond with the baby a lot more than I think he would be at this point because he's calling the baby by the 'names' already. But we are both sworn to secrecy until it's on the birth certificate, I might not even share his favorites on HB bc I am so paranoid lol!

@Modern Daisy: I had to go check the FB group to see what you were talking about! Haha. You do have to be careful with what you pick, don't you. I do too, for other reasons. I've threatened to name our baby Mindy! Really, any M name sounds terrible with our last name though!

My hubby is on the fence about Violet because of the TV show Private Practice and the character Violet. I only made him watch the show for a couple years, but he hated that character soooo much, he is having trouble with it!
