Hellobee Boards

@stratosphere: Yeah, share the big news!

@T.H.O.U.: @xInfinity: It's a GIRL!!! I'm so thrilled!!! For some reason I have really felt it's a girl so I must admit I would have needed a while to adjust if the news had been different. Now we can really get serious about names...

@stratosphere: yay! Congrats! Girls are awesome.

@stratosphere: Ah congrats!!! Yay!!

@runnerd: thanks for checking up on us! I definitely feel sooooo much better than i have, emotionally. Physically I'm a mess because I'm having real issues eating but still happy!

@stratosphere: that's amazing, congrats!!!!

Baby is healthy and was moving around the whole sonogram!

@pui: Yay! Maybe call the pharmacy and see if you can return the unopened box? Its unlikely, but worth a call at least.

@BakerBee: Yay, great news!

We've started to tell more friends, and boy is it nerve wracking! I kindof liked it being our little secret Everyone is excited for us so far. One friend just called me (at 8am) and has already started giving me advice

@pui: Yea I guess not if they already said so

@locavore_mama: Would that be allowed...? I don't think I'd be able to ship it, right? Basically it's progesterone supplements (the kind for people allergic to nuts). I needed a prescription to get it.

@Mrs.Someone: I have a feeling that even within Canada shipping prescription drugs to someone (or even just giving them) would probably be considered bad lol.

I wish I could sell them back to the pharmacy for like half the price or something. I guess I could try it. I'm pretty sure it's going to be a flat no though.

@kodybear: @locavore_mama: @T.H.O.U.: @pui: @Mrs.Someone: @chibee: Thanks everyone!! It is so exciting to know so early, though it's interesting that I kind of liked not knowing, too...right before we listened to the voicemail, my husband said "come on, let's listen! What are you waiting for?" and I thought about it and said "I don't know, it feels almost too soon to know! Like maybe we really need 20 weeks to think about baby more abstractly and to have all the wonder and possibilities open and in front of you."

And he said "well, I think that's a bit philosophical. It's going to be a huge surprise whether you find out now, at 20 weeks or in the delivery room. Now let's listen!!!"

In any case, I am so happy to be having a girl (that's what I *really* wanted, though I can tell DH wanted a boy, he'll be a great girl daddy), but I can totally understand Team Green.

Now it's time to get to work on names (SOOO hard...I had so many boy name ideas, but a blank slate for a girl).

@pui: ooh OK. That's probably a no no. Lol

@stratosphere: congrats!!! that is so exciting!!! yay for being able to think of HER in a less abstract way!

we scheduled an elective ultrasound for Thursday 2/13. I'll be 15 weeks, and they say that if the baby cooperates we will definitely be able to tell the gender. If not we'll be able to go back for free. I think it's totally worth it, I just can't wait to know!

I still haven't gone public at work (I am 14 weeks). I think I will send a valentine's email to everyone on Friday if we can find out the gender on Thursday!

@Apples4Teacher: congrats on the announcement!

What did everyone do this weekend? I am cleaning out my closet to put away winter clothes and get out the spring/summer maternity stuff! Now that we are past our loss points and in the second tri I am ready to be pregnant!

@T.H.O.U.: i was in bed all weekend! I have zero energy still, and it's a battle to do anything when i don't have to. I am sooooo ready for this first tri stuff to be over, i miss having energy and having an appetite and not feeling like crap every day!

@Aandmklover: I was going to tie it in to our anniversary, which is on the 18th. I was just going to say something like "Happy anniversary J! You're such a wonderful husband and I know you will also make a great father this August!" Or something like that.

@T.H.O.U.: popping in to say that this makes me so, so happy You enjoy this, lady-you deserve it!

@T.H.O.U.: so glad to hear this!

@mrs. 64: I don't know if my symptoms have worsened, but now I'm getting MS in the middle of the night instead of the afternoon, which is making it super hard to get a good night's sleep. I hope it lets up soon.

@stratosphere: congrats on your GIRL!!!!!

@T.H.O.U.: My grandparents were in town this weekend so we visited with them. Other than that we didn't do much.

@Aandmklover: Yay! Glad you had a good NT scan! I loooove that sign! So cute. Now I'm wishing I would have thought of a cute Valentine's day announcement. I bought a only child crossed out big brother shirt off Etsy that I'm waiting on. I plan to put DS in that and post the pic.

@mrs. 64: Yeah, things got really bad for me between like 9-11 weeks but at 13 weeks I'm definitely doing better.

I have been dealing with about a week now of headaches. I've always been prone to them. But man I can't take it anymore! Beginning of last week I had a headache from Mon-Wed when I realized I thought it was a sinus headache. I did the nedi pot and was able to get all the mucus out of my sinus and my headache went away. I got relief thur & fri but Friday night I got a migraine that has not gone away yet. I can't take my normal excedrin migraine that always makes it go away. I feel really bad taking Tylenol but I have to. What's weird is the same thing happened to me around the same time during my last pregnancy. I had about a week of headaches then nothing the rest of my pregnancy. So hopefully it's gone soon!
