Hellobee Boards

Oh, I have another question, anyone wanna swap Pinterest links so we can follow each other's baby boards? I'll wall ya my link through gold if anyone is interest!

Finally getting back here- a combo of holidays, visitors and worsening nausea/vomiting made the past several weeks rather tough. I haven't even been lurking because I've been too exhausted to read HB! I'm finally feeling a bit better- yay for almost 2nd trimester! (14 weeks on 1/16)
We had our 1st appt plus u/s back in early December - saw one little baby with a nice heartbeat Then I got to see the bebe again at my 2nd appt because they were having a tough time getting the doppler. It was really special because my mom was visiting from across the country and got to see the u/s in person.

@runnerd can you change my due date to 7/17? thanks!

I hope everyone else who had a rough 1st tri is starting to feel better!

Anyone starting to have major cravings/food aversions?

I've been obsessed with anything containing cabbage or potatoes! Oh, and Fuji apples. So delicious. And I can't stand Thai food, kale or goat cheese- all of which I normally love.
**clearly I'm feeling better as I'm posting up a storm now **

I wish I could stay at home but unfortunately we just don't have the means financially to do so. We are both in education and the pay is blahh. However, we hope that with with my maternity leave and DH's paternity leave that hopefully we won't have to worry about daycare until Jan '15 Here's hoping.....

Had a 14week (actually more like 15 wks) check up today! Heard the heartbeat and all is good I've been eating like crazy and was surprised I gained only a few pounds. I officially announced to my office when I got back... not sure if it was a shocker or what as I think pregnancy tends to be the world's worst secret but I'm glad I came out

Next appt is The Big One at 20ish weeks. Such a looong time from now...

Hope everyone's symptoms from the first trimester are winding down.

Has anyone thought about baby registries? We went to Babies r Us last weekend to look around and man, that place is overwhelming.

I finally had an ultrasound at my 12 week appt on Monday (well I had to practially beg my family practice doc to request one for me but he did it)! It was so cool to see baby and they were definitely moving around! The technician put my due date at July 25th so only two days off from my calculations which made me happy, but I'm thinking I might stick with mine, we'll see...

To answer the question: My situation is kind of weird, I'm already unemployed. With all of the moving and my husband switching jobs it didn't make sense for me to do all that as well and I'm super pumped to be a SAHM come July. I do keep busy with my blog, and my dog, and all the crap that comes along with moving, but I'm ready for the next challenge of an adorable baby!

@runnerd: I don't have much on my Pinterest baby boards but when I bulk it up I will definitely share it!

@NorCalWayfarer: I think we'll wait until after the 20 week appt to start registering as well! I'm looking at Babies r us or Buy Buy Baby right now.

@princessandthebee: Yay! Love seeing the baby on the u/s -- glad you were able to get one.

Just got our 1st trimester screening results back (took almost 2 weeks because our lab is *ridiculously* slow). Nurse said everything looked good and would have a clearer idea when we do the 2nd trimester screening between 15-20 weeks. She said she would tell me the #s if I wanted and of course I wanted to know.... Downs was 1:3,900 (was 1:700 just based on age) and Trisomy 18 was 1:100,000. I was a little scared by the Downs number initially but after doing a little research I feel better.

@Mk0181 we have a target/private amazon list, mainly because our parents wanted ideas for Christmas presents. The baby made out like a bandit!

@runnerd totally fine =) It doesn't take much to make me nauseous these days. We need to be thinking about this stuff!

@runnerd: thinking of you!!

@runnerd: sorry you're experiencing this but glad baby is ok!

@runnerd: Wow, that is seriously scary! Glad to hear baby is fine.. good luck with your appointment!

@runnerd: oh how scary!! Glad you heard the heartbeat and hope you get an answer from your doctor.

@runnerd I'm so sorry you've been dealing with this. I can't even imagine how terrifying that would be. So glad the heartbeat and u/s are looking good though, that must be quite a relief!! That's a great picture btw, it's so clear you can make out their little face. Adorable!

@NorCalWayfarer: glad you got good results, missed that! I skipped the NT check, didn't need another worry lol

@runnerd: Beautiful u/s pic Glad to know that baby is ok! So sorry that you are going through this, however. I can only imagine the anxiety and stress this must be causing you. Thinking of you!

@Mrsjansson: how fun! I don't think we'll get any 3-D or 4-D pics, but they sure are interesting!

@MK0180: thanks lady!

I don't guess I updated this board but doc called and let me know it's a SCH so I'm going be having either weekly or every 2 week ultrasounds to monitor it. Already had appt scheduled for Thurs, FX it still looks ok.

@runnerd: Well -- I'm so glad they were able to figure out what is going on with all that bleeding! So scary but glad at the last US your baby looked good.

I'm just hanging out here in the middle of the month waiting for my next appt to come around! It's on the 31st. I'm 16 weeks and 2 days now. I'm not feeling super pregnant (although I look pregnant!) but I was hoping to be able to feel the baby more by now and with the morning sickness pretty much gone I find myself getting nervous and can't wait for the heartbeat check!!

@runnerd: I would but have to wait to join Gold until next month or so when it works out better financially! But I'll post one here after my shower today during Coop's first nap!

@coopsmama: awww sweet!! he has a great smile!

@Mrsjansson: wow! The 3D images are so cool!

@runnerd: thanks for adding me! And I'm so glad that everything's okay w the baby! I know how scary that must be, I've been on pins and needles waiting to see my next u/s to see if the SCH has resolved itself.

@runnerd: Glad they figured it out and hope it is an uneventful pregnancy from here on out!

@coopsmama: How cute! Your profile/stats thingy says you're Gold!
