Hellobee Boards

@sweetooth: Yep I told her a couple of weeks ago and a few of my coworkers. I haven't told my entire team yet.

Had a OB check-up today, alls well! I'm up 5lbs total since BFP! FX I can keep this pace and gain a lil less than I did with DS. Also, scheduled our anatomy scan for 3/4! Can't believe it!!! So soon!

@sweetooth: I finally told mine a couple weeks ago :s it's still a touchy subject lol. I have one more person to tell and I'm just dreading it.

How's everyone's weekend going? I went with dh and Lo to try and buy a glider, and we came home with no glider but a new master bed set hahahaha. It was actually necessary because since we moved dh and I have been sharing a double bed and with all my pregnancy shifting around and pillow arrangements it's getting be a source of tension lol.

Still no glider. I can't find anything I like that's not a zillion dollars. I saw this nice one at west elm today but in canada it only comes in light grey velvet which seems very impractical to me.

Anyone started buying furniture things?

@mrsjyw: I'm obsessed with finding a glider right now! Which one do you have already?

@mrsjyw: oh I like it ( and the room looks so cute too!) I'm going to check them out

A little late to the game but I've been stalking all the gorgeous nurseries on here and I'd love to join! We're finding out gender on Thursday, plus I've prepped and undercoated the nursery this weekend to be ready to go once we find out, so things are feeling very real!

Location: Australia

EDD: July 15th

How far along: 17w4d

First child? yes

First doctor appointment: seems so long ago- I saw my GP at 7 weeks. I'm doing shared care as I live in what is considered a rural area (even though I live 400m from the beach!) and there is no option to go private. So I alternate between monthly GP appointments (my GP used to be an OB) and visits with the midwives in the hospital.

Any symptoms so far? The worst morning sickness from weeks 5-16. I was vomiting a minimum of 4 times a day, some days so much I'd lose count. I probably should have gone to the hospital on many occasions in hindsight but I'm the worst patient ever... Magically though, at 16 weeks it was like a switch and I woke up fine. It's been just over a week and although I'm tired and am getting intermittent headaches, I feel fantastic!!

Who have you told? Everyone! Unfortunately due to my MS, I had to tell my co-workers way before I should have at 7 weeks. They have been great though =)

@bunnylove: welcome and congrats!

@Candy_nee: love that bedding!!

@bunnylove: Welcome and congratulations!

@QBbride: @Reese: thanks ladies! It reminds me of "where the wild things are" for some reason. So I'm thinking of doing prints from the book on the wall

@bunnylove: Welcome!

I felt the baby moving LOADS tonight! All week I have been unsure whether I have felt it or not but tonight was super clear

Hope you are all having a great weekend!

@Mama Bird: I'm nowhere near ready for exercise yet either. 18 weeks and I still get very nauseous at times, especially if I stand up for too long. Hopefully we will both be pounding the treadmill soon Or maybe just doing yoga or walks

@TheSwissWifeStyle: I was so hoping that pregnancy pillow you got would be like sleeping on a cloud...bummer! Hope you enjoyed swimming!

@Mama Bird: @Mama Bird: @Mrs. Pickles: @mrsjyw: Thanks for the encouragement to just got for it and tell my boss. Not sure why I'm nervous this time...maybe it's because I'm kind of considering not returning once this baby is born

@Bluemasonjar: Putting something on the calendar might be just the thing. He probably will think something is up. But it might be the only way to make myself commit to telling him sooner rather than later. At my former job I had the opposite experience you did. I took my boss in to a conference room to tell her I was quitting and she thought I was going to tell her I was pregnant. She was pretty upset.

@fuzzypeaches: Good luck telling the remaining people you have to at work. Let's both do it soon so it's behind us!
As for the glider, I think velvet is super impractical. Just think about the sweating, the spitups, the mess that comes with kiddos. You'll want a material you can clean easily. That will talk you out of the beautiful west elm glider I'm torn because I never really stuck with one chair the entire time I nursed. I was all over the place. So I'm going to try and do without a glider again for #2.

@bunnylove: Welcome and congrats! I'm glad your morning sickness has subsided. I'm into week 18 now, and I still can't shake the early morning, and late night blehs.

@Candy_nee: super cute bedding!

@travelgirl1: How exciting! I can't wait to feel the baby move.

@Mama Bird: I'm with you. I was pregnant with my first when it wasn't winter and I was outside walking 1-2 miles everyday very early on in my pregnancy. I think it helped me so much. I'm hoping I can get into a rhythm with long walks again soon. But I'm exhausted with my little guy and just being pregnant.

@mrsjyw: Such a big milestone! How did he do in his big boy bed?

@sweetooth: good luck with telling your boss!

@bunnylove: congrats and welcome!

@mama bird: I've made it to the gym once a week, if it's a good week! I have been trying to be more active with DS. Walking around a lot at the mall, etc.

@ValentineMommy: happy birthday to your DS! DS did well last night (knock on wood), sttn and was up at normal time!

Just a note to you guy switching to twin or regular beds without box springs, it's a PITA trying to find a bed rail that works with a trundle and/or bed that doesn't require a box spring! We ended up just using pool noodles/towels, and decided to save the money on the rail! DS did really well

@sweetooth: the pillow is feeling better, maybe I just had to get used to it. I still get aching hips sometimes though.

So...it looks like I'm another boy-mom over here! I totally thought we were gonna have a girl. But the doc today said he's 80% sure it's a boy. (I'm 17 weeks tomorrow btw.) I guess my dream was right! I only told my mom so far. We're gonna tell his folks tomorrow, and then go public with it .

Also, does his profile look funny? Like a little chimp almost...! Is this normal?

@TheSwissWifeStyle: Ahh congrats!!! I think the profile looks normal, but what do I know lol All babies look a little chimp like to me, especially this early. Congrats again!!

@mrsjyw: Ahhhh big boy! Did he manage okay? We finally moved A out of our room and onto a floor bed last week. I was a mess, she did fab!

@TheSwissWifeStyle: Yaaay, congratulations!

@travelgirl1: yes! he sttn and just rolled around per usual until I went to get him this morning

@Mrs. Pickles: @travelgirl1: we had the regalo one too! doesn't fit, I found ONE that may work with our bed. But I think the pool noodles will be fine for now!

@mrsjyw: what a big boy! I'm glad he took to it so well.

@TheSwissWifeStyle: aww, so cute! don't worry if the pic looks funny. On his last ultrasound, my oldest looked like exactly like he has a piglet nose! My husband was seriously worried but it was just the way the kid was wiggling.

@TheSwissWifeStyle: yay for another boy! And he looks just perfect!
@mrsjyw: we are not redecorating DS#1's room when we switch him to a big boy bed. I decorated the nursery with keeping the decor as he transitioned to his big boy room.

@mrsjyw: We're keeping everything as is, and just getting new furniture. I love the paint and everything how it is!

@pearl: Cool! I'm 58 days to viability, 77 days to the 3rd trimester. Boy that seems far away! 170 days to dd!

@Mama Bird: @travelgirl1: so sorry to hear you guys still aren't feeling up to speed! hoping it turns around for you soon!

I took a week off from working out last week to try to get over my cold and then eased back in yesterday with like 20 minutes of zumba from youtube. I felt a little sore yesterday but feel fine today so I think I am going to switch to a mix of that and prenatal yoga and leave jillian for a while. It was getting to be that time anyway...

@TheSwissWifeStyle: congrats on the boy! Let us know how sharing the news goes! We do call it an anatomy scan here too and I think a lot of us will have them in March. (Mine is 3/13.)

@mrsjyw: so glad that DS did well in the big boy bed! We transitioned DD at 3 and she did really well, but had been on a floor bed so we didn't bother with railings or anything.

As for me, we are having a heat wave here and it has been so nice to get into maxi skirts and dresses and stop hiking up my maternity jeans 800 times a day! It should cool down by the end of the week again so I am enjoying it while it lasts and feeling confident that these will be the major parts of my wardrobe come summer!
