Hellobee Boards

I can't believe I'm this big and not quite 12 weeks. Third babies, man.

@pregnantbee: Thank you! I think now that I'm starting to share with people here and there I'm enjoying the bump a bit more than even a week or two ago.

@coopsmama: Don't sweat it mama - you look great!

@pregnantbee: I am 11 weeks today, and have a CVS scheduled for next Wednesday (at 12 weeks). If it takes 2 weeks to get the results, that puts me at 14 weeks before I tell my office. Hopefully, the results come in just a wee bit before that . . . I don't have a bump yet, and am hoping I don't start showing until I feel comfortable disclosing!

@pwnstar: don't worry, @pregnantbee: can help you hide your bump with her superior bump hiding dressing skills! I have a feeling announcing will coincide with giving notice so i'm not sure what my timing will be yet, but they won't really care that i'm pregnant i guess! I may tell my boss after my NT scan, but i haven't booked that yet. likely the week of Feb 15th.

@Pirouette: @Silva: @ShootingStar: I'm sorry about bagels, ladies. I really don't know what I'd do without them. Well, maybe I wouldn't be on track to gain 60 lbs....jk. Not much else is appealing, so that's my go-to.

Thanks for the bump-hiding compliments. I'm available for consults and advice.

@pwnstar: If you don't have a bump yet then I bet you'll be able to hide until you're ready.

@mrschickpea: Ah, the cheeseburger stage. Been there with my first. It will soon pass, and you'll have a legitimate bump before you know it.

@coopsmama: Eee, you look so cute!!

@pwnstar: I'm with you on not wanting to tell work for a bit...I'd like to hold off for at least another month, if possible. Not showing yet, but who knows when it'll happen? Good luck to you! I'm sure you can find ways to hide it if a little something starts showing up before you're ready

@mrschickpea: @MrsKerch: I literally look exactly the same so far. First babies! Then I'm sure there will come a point when we'll long to be a bit smaller, haha.

@pregnantbee: no need to feel sorry for me! i'm eating gluten free bagels like they're going out of style!

@MrsKerch: I feel you on the nerves! i'm so nervous that baby won't be growing at my appt next week. or never existed to begin with! Good luck tomorrow!!!

@coopsmama: You also look so tiny so maybe that's why you are showing. But all around, you look darling. How exciting to have a baby bump!

I had my ultrasound today and the baby looked big and measured 10w0d. I'm starting to feel more excited than nervous at this point. Its great that I'm turning that corner.

@agold: yay, glad to hear everything looks good and you're feeling more reassured! I'm hoping I turn that corner as well at my next appointment

@agold: yay!!! congrats on turning the corner! that's a huge milestone

@agold: beautiful!

@agold: Yay, great update!

@agold: Yes, I'm naturally a skinny, tall build so baby has no where to go but straight out! But I will say that I'm showing much much earlier than I did with either of my two! Unbelievable.

Love love love your ultrasound pic! Congrats on another good scan. So glad everything seems to be looking just fine.

@agold: Beautiful!

@agold: You're welcome. No need to feel silly. The first trimester is no joke. I'm glad you feel you can relax a bit and start enjoying it more. I love having you all as a support group. There's no such thing as a silly question or feeling or TMI. I probably won't fully relax until baby is here.

@coopsmama: love your sweet bump!!

@agold: Your LO looks happy in that scan! I'm so glad you feel like you can relax a little now. And I totally agree with @pregnantbee: . . . there is no such thing as silly or TMI. Especially amongst this group of smart, caring women.

@MrsKerch: Good luck today!

@mrschickpea: It's so hard to predict when your belly will pop! I didn't pop with my first until around 27 weeks, and I still haven't with this pregnancy either (although I feel like I have by the end of the day). Although I will say that there are some things that I appreciate about that . . . like being able to lay on the floor (belly down) with my LO, and being able to twist/turn and pick things up like I normally do.

@Pirouette: That's so exciting! Sending you tons of relaxing-no-worries-bob-marley-ish (if that's your jam!) vibes!

The belly . . . I go back and forth too. *sigh* My LO loves to sit in my lap . . every time she does I wonder how much longer she will fit. I don't want to take anything away from her unless/until it's absolutely necessary!

Anyone else planning a babymoon/ trip? My DH wants the two of us to go to Europe, which sounds WONDERFUL, but I can't even describe the amount of anxiety I have about leaving my LO with anyone for a few days. I have left her overnight and for several days, but she has always been with DH while I am gone. I don't know. I have trust issues on both sides of the family with grandparents (it's a long story, and has gotten better over time, but the amount of time we would be gone makes me nervous), but if we don't go now, we won't be able to go for another couple of years. My thought is to go during the week so that LO can go to daycare and the grandparents will only have her in the morning and at night . . . ? *augh* I have such a hard time letting go.

@MrsKerch: Thinking of you today!

I woke up craving a bagel today! All that bagel talk got to me!

@pwnstar: we just booked baby moon 1 of 2, we are going to Disneyland next month with DD, we want to celebrate her too on this process, and I want to be able to enjoy it too, so I'll be 16 weeks, but it's a good time for us to go and take her. We'll do a beach vacation in May that I'm already dreaming of- mocktails, books, feeling weightless in the pool!
