Hellobee Boards

@Pirouette: Thanks, again. I will be a working mom so I really do love to hear your thoughts.

@pregnantbee: Congratulations!!

@agold: We had such a nice DINK life too! We totally didn't enjoy it for long enough, lol. And we used to live in a much smaller and less expensive townhouse that I bought by myself. We've now doubled our old mortgage, added a child in daycare and soon a 2nd! It's amazing to think of all the money we used have LOL.

But honestly, we must've been really boring before because I don't feel like there's a whole lot that we used to do that we can't. Movies I guess? Oh, and I do miss being able to take weekend trips to our favorite spa and hotel in the White Mountains. We can still take DS (and have) but it's harder to go in the hot tub and get massages with him in tow. But I mean, that's not exactly this huge chunk of my life that's missing.

@Pirouette: I'm really excited to be having a summer/fall baby this time. DS was born in November and we spent so much time inside. I'm so looking forward to having a baby and being on maternity leave at the end of summer/beginning of fall when the weather should be gorgeous around here.

@pwnstar: @ShootingStar: Thank you!

@agold: He is so excited. I think he's been rooting for a girl and is thrilled to have one of each.

@ShootingStar: I agree! As much as I'm cringing because I always said I'd make sure I was never in my third tri all summer long, I do love the timing of an end of summer baby! I'm going to try to wear this baby, which i never got into with my first because she was too small and we never left the house!

@pregnantbee: I know, I was completely blinded by breastfeeding. I'd still like to breastfeed for sure, but I hope to take a much more relaxed approach to it.

@Pirouette: Let's help each other remember we discussed this. It's so hard to take off the BF blinders!

@pregnantbee: Congratulations!!! Ahhhhh now I want to know what I'm having too!

@pregnantbee: I'm so, so excited for you!!! has it sunk in?!

@pregnantbee: Horray!!!

DH and I got into on the phone after E's Doctor appointment. It was a dumb agreement. However I ended breaking down and crying telling that I am terrified of my appointment tomorrow. I am so scared because of this bleed business that there will be no baby tomorrow. He tried to calm me back down but I was ugly cry sobbing at a red light with my kids in the backseat. It's bad. Please keeps us in your thoughts tomorrow and hope that my appointment goes well. I have never had bleeds like this before.

@pregnantbee: Oh my gosh, hooray for a girl!! I have one of each right now and it has been sooo much fun. I'm thrilled for you!

And wow; seems like I am not the only one having trouble sleeping! That's just crazy to me because I didn't realize it was a common first trimester symptom. Sorry we're all in the same boat, minus you my lucky friend @HLK208!

@MrsRcCar: Oh you poor thing! That is so hard. Bleeding is such an emotional experience. I've had it with both of my kids and I can assure you that I was in the same place and there were lots of tears.

And if I'm being honest, my first ultrasound is Friday when I am supposed to be 10w1d and I am SO afraid that there will be nothing on that screen when they bring it up. I've not had any bleeding or anything out of the ordinary but I'm realizing that is just a fear we mothers get to have. It's rough.

@MrsRcCar: I'm so hoping that everything goes well tomorrow deep breaths!

@CoffeeMom: Thank you!

@OldpuebloJenn: @MrsKerch: I'm actually thinking about placenta encapsulation this time because I didn't have a good recovery last time. Maybe it was a normal recovery, but I had a hard time with it. Just between physically feeling better and emotionally handling all of the crazy hormones. I wonder if this would help?

@HLK208: Not quite. I didn't sleep well last night. But basically at this point, I'm dying to tell family and work. So much so that I asked if I could move my NT scan a week early. It works out b/c I guess I was scheduled during week 13 and it's ok to do after week 12. SO it's next week! Dying for "The Sweater Chronicles" to end. Dying for my family and local friends to know!

@OldpuebloJenn: Thank you! I actually have no idea how we made it all the way through as TG last time around. It was an amazing delivery surprise. I think it's going to really help us bond to the baby and also help our son understand what's going on now that we found out this time! It really does make it so real. We get to say "her" instead of its or "the baby's", etc.

@MrsRcCar: I am so sorry you are dealing with this. You are definitely in my thoughts, and I will be looking for your update tomorrow. When is the appointment? xoxo

@coopsmama: Thank you. We're so excited. I really, truly, thought it was going to be another boy, and I would have been thrilled. This is another whole ballgame. Who is older? Any differences (besides anatomical) that you'd like to share? I love their hair! As for your first appt, coming up, even though we've been through it before, the first trimester sucks! If you're not worried about losing the baby, you're worried about chromosomal abnormalities or growth/anatomy issues. I'm hoping we can all rest a little easier when we cross over to the 2nd tri.

@HLK208: That sounds like the best L&D EVER. I have tons of dreams about not being able to find a bathroom. Hahaha. Like they're all disgusting or in really awkward places. Then I wake up to pee. HA!

@pregnantbee: that's hilarious but annoying at the same time!! Reoccurring dreams bother me!

@MrsRcCar: Praying for you.

@MrsRcCar: thinking of you!

@pregnantbee: yay!! A girl! Super exciting!

@MrsRcCar: thinking of you this morning!

@MrsRcCar: Thinking of you!

9 weeks today!

Is anyone else still feeling nauseated all day? It comes and goes in waves, but it's still all day for me (I had an awful night last night). Sometimes I feel better after I eat, and sometimes it makes it worse. And the headaches. They're better than what they were, but they're also still hanging on too. *augh*

@pwnstar: yes to nausea and headaches I didn't have morning sickness with my first, and I honestly thought this pregnancy would be the same! I feel like i was misled!!! I'm not even 7 weeks so i'm worried how much worse it could get. Yesterday was a really bad day for me as well. and I do NOT cope well with nausea. I've had to take some tylenol for the headaches too because I literally can't lift my head sometimes.

@MrsRcCar: I am so so sorry.
