Hellobee Boards

@Ginabean3: Such a cute mother's day bump!
@fuzzypeaches: Thank you!!

Happy mother's day, ladies!!!!

Hope everyone had a great mothers day!!! Mine was lackluster, to say the least lol

How's everyone feeling? I should be getting my scheduled c-sec date any week now! Ahhhh!!

Belated happy mothers day to everyone!!

@mrsjyw: so glad you had a great baby moon and have fun in the city! I have had some pelvic soreness but never throbbing pain. I have found sleeping with my top leg over and bent is the most comfortable and I actually have less pain now than I remember with LO1 even though it was worse earlier.

As for me, this is the last week in our house! Tired and emotional over the weekend but got lots of rest and feeling more motivated and like the end of the move at least is in sight!

@simplyfelicity: Gorgeous flowers!

@Ginabean3: Lovely bump!

I think I'm nesting, which is a huge shock since I didn't at all with A. But suddenly I have this huge need to declutter everything, which is hard in this heat as our air con hadn't been switched on yet and I'm a huge, over-heating monster
We live in a one bedroom apartment with a good size box room (meant for storage but we have made it into a cute bedroom for DD). So, adding another person to the mix is going to crunch us for space but that's downtown living for you.

We are nearly there with choosing a double stroller too.

Or maybe it's procrastinating rather than nesting, and I should get onto choosing a method of delivery, a name and buying clothes instead, ha ha.

@travelgirl1: Haha, I relate to the "huge, over-heating monster" description. I tried to go to an outdoor festival yesterday, and I made it all of ten minutes walking in the heat before I changed my Mother's Day wish to "sitting in front of a fan."

Hope everyone had a great Mother's Day!

@MamaCate: awww. I hope the move goes well! I'm scared of moving myself, but we've decided it has to happen by next spring

@travelgirl1: I'm nesting too! I've scrubbed every single surface in the apartment. Thank goodness for nesting, just thinking about all that cleaning before made me want to take a nap instead. And now everything is so nice and clean!

@mrsjyw: Congrats on passing the glucose test!
@Mrs. Pickles: @ValentineMommy: Scheduling your c section makes it seem so real! I feel like time is flying.

@mrsjyw: Yes I've had this going on now for a little over a month. I asked the OB and she said that it was normal. Especially more noticeable in the next pregnancy etc.

I too am feeling large, hot and tired! Had really bad leg cramps over the weekend and my calves are still sore! We did a lot on Saturday. My Dad ran for city council (he won!) but we helped campaign Saturday, then of course did a mother's day gathering. So it was just too much.
I hit 32 weeks in a day and see my OB.

Just got back from my 32 week appointment and now I go every two weeks. I mentioned baby boy's size at 28 weeks and how both DH and I are from families of 8-10 lb babies. So, my OB wants me to have a 37 week ultrasound to determine if I should be induced. Not sure how I feel about that...
I will see a different OB at my next appointment and will mention that, despite ginormous babies, there has been no family history of c/s. I want him to come when he is ready if that's possible.
There's nothing wrong with c/s or being induced (at all!) I would just like to see if things happen alright if nature takes its course.

@simplyfelicity: Yikes! That is not very far away! I agree that ultrasounds can be inaccurate and would encourage you to make the decision you are comfortable with re induction if it comes to that. I think a lot of it depends on your body shape too, not just baby size, ie childbearing hips.

Fwiw, I was 8 1/2 lbs and DH was over 9 but our LO was 8lbs 2oz when I was induced at 40+6 last time around, so it is not always a direct correlation. You have time to talk more with your doc as it gets closer too.

Also, I am going to add this to my list of things not to watch while pregnant.

@mrsjyw: Hooray for passing your glucose test and your babymoon! I've been getting more pressure/pain down there as well (and didn't have it last time). It's SO uncomfortable.

@MamaCate: Hope you have a good move!!

@TheSwissWifeStyle: While I definitely did not have a magical second trimester, I am also getting super tired early in the day too. I find myself napping while DS naps more often than not, or during my lunch break on the days I'm working at home. I'm so tired! My lo is breech too and I am SO tired of being kicked in what feels like my actual vagina haha. I swear sometimes it feels like he's going to just reach out of there.

@Mrs. Pickles: Has it??? I remember with DS1, they scheduled me with the doctor I don't normally see at the practice (which I still don't understand), so at my next appt with my usual doctor, I asked if he could change it to when he could do it, which he did. But that was it. Hoping it's easy this time too. What's been difficult about it??

@simplyfelicity: I know!!! I can't wait to get my date!!! DS1 was over 9 pounds and I can not IMAGINE him coming out of my lady bits, but you have to do what's right for you. If you want to wait and it's not a danger to you or baby, go for it. I know a lot of people have strong feelings about being induced. As for them estimating his size....don't listen to them. They estimated DS1 to be 7-8 pounds, so when he came out at 9.1, they were pretty shocked lol

It's so crazy that in a couple weeks we can start saying we are due "next month" it's crazy! I'm starting to nest a bit and getting more nervous about lo's transition from ctr of universe to one of two :s

@fuzzypeaches: That is totally crazy. I'm not ready yet!!!!! There's still so much to do!!!

@simplyfelicity: I've been looking for something similar to that. My problem is.....my DS's will have some really not cute colors together. Amethyst and Ruby.....ick. Lol I have a really big amethyst ring (I think it's 11 karats) from DS1's push present that DS got when a jewelry store was closing, so I can't really wear it with anything else. Where is that stack ring from?

@simplyfelicity: I totally get you on the induce or c/section. I'm torn over how I feel about them. But.... after DS being a full week late and weighing in at 9.8lbs (after they thought he was only 7-8lbs... I'm really thinking about doing something different. I had to have a full epistomy with DS and the recovery was awful. So I don't want to go through that again. I'm going to talk to my OB tomorrow about our options.
@simplyfelicity: I haven't thought about push present. We didn't do one the last time. It was Thanksgiving and I just said focus on the holidays, the in-laws in town, etc.

@ValentineMommy: it took me 3 weeks to fully schedule!!!!
But we're good to go now, JUNE 25 HOLY MOLY I can't even deal.
My doc is fitting in my c- section before she goes on vacation which I am very happy about.
As far as inductions.. technically I could try for a VBAC but I'm just far too nervous after my last induction .. labor for 36 hours and then emergency c-section

@simplyfelicity: Thank you! Love it!

@Mrs. Pickles: AHHHH June?!?!? You're going to have a baby next month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@QBbride: are you going to wear 2 necklaces or wear the 2 stones on one chain?
My push present was a necklace with an opal surrounded by diamonds. I can't picture not wearing it, but I don't know how a ruby (or any other charm) is going to look with it....

@simplyfelicity: I love that!!!
@Mrs. Pickles: ahh! That's crazy!!!
@QBbride: I just bought myself initial necklaces for mothers day (lol) but dh won't let me wear it bc we haven't announced the name yet :)@Tidybee: I Think it's cute to wear two chains too like a layered sort of look?! I bet it would be gorgeous (pendant sounds beautiful!)
@cvbee: I've been walking around "holding" my belly up lol. Super attractive but it feels so much better!
