Hellobee Boards

I was an August 2013 mom, and since having an older kid, I've been away a bit since I find there's not a lot of preschooler discussion, and I kind of just do my own thing without input now
Location: Vancouver, Canada
EDD: August 16
First child? Second, DD will be 4 in August
Any symptoms? Not really, minor cramping, a little bloating, had heartburn last night.
Who have you told? DH and my sister.
Current thoughts/feelings/fears? A little surprised, but happy. DD1 was conceived after a couple years of infertility. I assumed if/when we ever had another we'd need intervention again, which we weren't willing to do. So, we've been on whatever happens happens for a few years, but were fairly resigned to being one and done!

Location: Texas

EDD: 8/16 according to my LMP. I've only had one postpartum period and am not exactly sure when I ovulated.

First child? Second! I have a 14 month old.

Any symptoms? Upset stomach and mild cramping. Nothing too terrible though.

Who have you told? DH, a friend, and my fellow HB mamas.

Current thoughts/feelings/fears? I have so many! I never expected that I would conceive naturally. DD was born after 4.5 years of trying and was conceived via donor embryo. I'm just shocked that I'm pregnant! I'm a little nervous about the baby's chromosomes because my husband has a translocation. I'll breathe easier once I get the materniti21 test or something like it. We have one remaining frozen embryo that is DD's genetic sibling and were planning a transfer for the spring. We'll have to postpone that. That also means there's a chance we could have 3 kids....and I'm pretty content to just have one! Right now I just need to take things day by day. This baby is a miracle and I'm going to have hope that everything is developing the way it is supposed to be.

@Mrs. Pickle: Wow! Congratulations!

Lots of updates! Please let me know if I missed anything!
Congrats @Spinny: @Sapphiresun: @Mrs. Pickle: and welcome!

Location: Upstate NY

EDD: 08/21/17

First child? Second! I have a 15 month old DS.

Any symptoms? Felt a bit naseous but thought I could have picked up DS' stomach bug.

Who have you told? DH

Current thoughts/feelings/fears? Excited and nervous. Trying to finish and defend my dissertation over the next few months, so really hoping that first tri yuck doesn't slow me down too much. Still working though some PTSD due to some complications during delivery of DS, so a bit worried about delivery of this baby.

@Mrs. Pickle: Omg, congrats! So happy for you! And that is an excellent due date if I do say so myself

Whoa so many new posts! Congrats everyone!

@Sapphiresun: I have a June 2013 daughter, so very similar age gap to you.

@Mrs. Pickle: what an amazing turn of events! Hoping that alp goes smoothly for you.

@coleycam: I am having the super fatigue plus nighttime insomnia right now as well. It's the pits.

@peachykeen: ooph, I feel you! I've been having trouble falling asleep and also waking up suuuuper early, like 5am. Plus up once with my 3.5 yo most nights. Le sigh.

@MrsSCB: thanks! It's crazy! Now I can look at pics of your DS and see where I'll be a year from now.

I scheduled my first appointment for 1/6. At least I have Christmas and New Years to distract me from the 2.5 week wait!

Got my first ultrasound scheduled! Jan 3. I'm super nervous, but I'm happy they had an opening that day because DH is already off work. Eek! This is real!

@peachykeen: Oddly (I say oddly, because I feel like most transitions are hard for our LO), the transition to the "big kid bed" was pretty easy. We still have bad nights, where we have to walk her back to her bed 25 times, but mostly, she enjoys it. GOOD LUCK!!

@Torchwood: exciting! I scheduled mine first thing in the AM so DH can go too.

Ugh so I'm freaking out. The last few days and all of my symptoms have disappeared. Last time this happened I miscarried a week later.

@Mrs. Pickle: If you don't mind my asking, what will happen to the remaining embryo if you dont decide to have another baby?

@MrsBrewer: Fingers crossed everything is good. Is there any chance you could go in for your dating scan this week? For peace of mind? Or ask for a set of betas?

@littlejoy: you know I probably could... but I'm no where near hitting my deductible for 2016, and truthfully I'd rather wait till my Jan 2nd appt forbit to be in 2017. Call me cheap..... lol

@littlejoy: Always.

@littlejoy oh man, I am super sick and have been since 5 weeks, and Taco Bell double decker tacos are one thing I can get down. That and soft serve... down almost 5 lbs at this point.

I have been going to acupuncture several days a week and am still throwing up every other day, ugh.

@MommySLP: so many zits! But it was bad until about 14 weeks with my first too, so it's to be expected.

My fatigue is also crazy, and baby brain fog is in full effect. I can't remember anything!

The levels came back at almost 4000! And I scheduled my dating ultrasound, but have to wait until January 10!
