Hellobee Boards

Also my next appointment is April 25th!

@greenebee: I have had a prenatal massage, although it was at 15 weeks when I was still barely showing. It was WONDERFUL and I highly recommend them!

I haven't had a major meltdown recently and I'm kind of hoping it stays that way, around 18 - 20 weeks I was kind of a mess. It seems to have passed for now though. Hoping it stays that way for a while. Sorry to hear you're feeling overwhelmed! You should go home and have a relaxing bath!

@greenebee: Oh my gosh, you sound like me today! I'm super tired and have to pee too often and people are being annoying. Waaaahhhhhh. So, yeah - I guess it can strike without warning. As for the prenatal massage, I've had two. Really nice BUT make sure you are super crazy hydrated beforehand and afterwards. I didn't last time and felt nauseous and headachy for 24 hours.

@Ocean girl: Congrats on your lil hamburger!!!

@greenebee: I haven't had a pre-natal massage, but have been going to chiro twice a week due to lower back pain, and even that is helpful!! Sorry you had a rough day today! I agree with a relaxing bath is in the works for you!!

@JessKas: welcome! I was hoping you'd come join us over here. We need another grilled cheese! That's awesome your DH has felt baby move. I can feel little kicks on outside now but I don't think he'd be able to feel them.

@JessKas: Yea!!! We needed another Grilled Cheese! Welcome!

@JessKas: Welcome! Always nice to see another august mama around here!!! I updated our roll call to include you! I started feeling movement around 16 weeks too!

@msmay: Yay! Glad to hear from you and to hear you're doing well. The second tri is seriously flying by!

@JessKas: Welcome! I love how big the August Mama's thread is getting!!!

One week until my anatomy scan!!!! Woohoo!!!!!

So was anyone else super nervous for their anatomy scan? I'm excited but really scared too! I don't know how I'm going to make it till 3 tomorrow...ugh!

@JessKas: welcome!

@Ocean girl: congrats on the baby girl!

@redsmarties: they are! If I had my way I would have made it for 8 am but hubby doesn't want to have to go back to work after any of the appointments so they're all afternoon...

I'm just a worrywart and am so concerned that something will be wrong. The likelihood or something being wrong is slim, but I feel like I have bad luck!

Wow, 52 pages, so I'm obviously late to the party, but for some reason the halfway point of my pregnancy seems like a good time to move on over to a "parenting" site. Some of you may recognize me from WB, maybe...

Not exactly sure what we're supposed to write in the roll call over here, but about me/us:
Due date - August 12
We're currently not finding out the gender, so I'm surmising that's grilled cheese??
I'm currently classified as a high risk pregnancy, so I go in for appointments every week or two. I had my first ultrasound earlier this month and have more planned for weeks 24, 28, and 32 at this point to ensure baby is still growing as expected. It was originally explained as an "atypical immune response" to the baby that was maybe causing some thyroid, kidney and blood pressure issues, but most things looked good on last blood work as discussed earlier this week, so I'm fairly confident that things are turning around, and baby WILL be coming this summer!
Next appt is April 16, and next U/S is booked for April 23.

@JessKas: @Sapphiresun: congrats and welcome to the August '13 baby board!

And yes, team grilled cheese = not going to find out gender ahead of time :). We decided that since we were going to have fun summer babies, that we would go for picnic-y/bbq words, so hot dog and hamburger, and grilled cheese evolved from that. Gotta be different!

I made my appointment for our 3D elective ultrasound...woot woot! It's going to be April 27th, so I should be just a hair over 26 weeks at that point.

Also ordered the tissue paper poms for decorating the nursery and a tutu photo prop from Etsy. Now I'm debating whether I want to buy the crib mattress this month. Pretty sure we're getting this:

Hi ladies. i forgot to check in after my last appointment. last monday was my u/s and it showed baby again a week ahead. so when i had my appointment thursday with my OB, i mentioned it to him and he said that he was going to change my due date to August 7th now. but i'm going to be a scheduled c-section ~1 week before that.

already started shopping for baby girls clothes! since we already have all the gear from DS, it's just clothes/basics shopping for me. and we are putting our house up for sale, so anything nursery is put on hold until we get a new house. so different from last time!

welcome to the new ladies, and hope everyone is feeling great :o)

@JamieLee: I was totally nervous! At that point the little guy had kind of stopped moving around for a couple days prior my appointment so I was SOOOO nervous something was wrong and really anxious to find out the sex. Can't wait to hear if you've got a little guy or little gal!

@Sapphiresun: Hey there due date twin!!!!! Welcome to the other side. I added you to the roll call. Boo to a complicated pregnancy, I'm really glad things seem to be turning around! And yes, grilled cheese is definitely gender neutral! We are a group of hungry mama's so we torture ourselves by talking about hamburgers, hotdogs and grilled cheese every day. LOL.

@StrawberryBee: haha, I'm often reminded of that discussion and how grilled cheese seemed like a better option than mystery meat! hahaha

@sarbear: Do you want me to change your due date to the 7th or the 1st? I don't mind either way, if it were the 7th we could have due date triplets. But if you KNOW you'll deliver on the 1st (ish) I can definitely put it to that too. You're going to be a busy pregnant lady for the next 4 months! Hopefully you get a great house REALLY quickly so you can get everything for baby in there ASAP!

@.twist.: yeah, I don't think mystery meat quite conveys the right tone ;).

And arrgggh, just got an email from BRU for a two day sale that has a 'buy the Graco quick connect carseat, get the matching stroller FREE' deal. The bummer is that I don't care for the fabric at all (it's just one particular fabric that's on super-sale), and the stroller is four wheels instead of three. But...free!!

What would you do? It would save like 60% ($160 vs. $260...but I like the fabric I picked out so much more!).

I wish I'd never seen the sale.

@.twist.: you can put it to the 7th, that's fine. i'm not sure yet when he's going to schedule me. thanks :o) and yes, it will be busy the next few months! thankfully though, DS is only going to be 15 months when LO arrives so, his room is all set for a baby and she'll sleep in our room in the PnP

@.twist.: I know, the frugal me is warring with the perfectionist me! I think perfectionist is gonna win.

I forgot to tell you ladies, I got the Target catalog yesterday with the coupon for a gift card with a new registry. I was not pleased because I started my registry a couple weeks ago. I tried it anyway and she let me have it! I was so happy! Yay for Target!

@delight: @.twist.: @Grace: @Alivoo01: Thanks for the support ladies! I didn't have time for a bath yesterday, but it is DEFINITELY happening tonight! Also, glad to hear the pre-natal massage is worth it! And thanks, @Grace:, for letting me know about hydrating! I probably would have forgotten to do that!

@Mrs D: Good to know! I think mine shipped today! I'll be trying it this weekend! (I haven't been working out since the first tri, besides walking everyday, so a slower, more relaxing workout will definitely help!) And YAY for your upcoming anatomy scan! So exciting!

@Sapphiresun: and @JessKas: Welcome! And congrats! Hooray for your patience and being team Grilled Cheese!

Ladies, I have been feeling LO kick a lot, but poor DH hasn't been able to feel him. Getting so anxious/excited for that milestone! Is anyone else past 20 weeks and not able to feel kicks externally?

@greenebee: I feel like I can feel them externally, however, when I put DH's hand on my belly, even with strong kicks, he says he can't feel them!
