Hellobee Boards

@MrsRcCar: I so wanted to try and wait til Halloween (20 weeks) but I'm so impatient! You are awesome!

@Mrs. Champagne: I tried to reply and hit submit too fast. All you ladies being patient enough to wait, nice job! I wasn't even 4 weeks when I told my parents.

@BabyBoecksMom: Nerd skills to the rescue - I love it!

I'm 12 weeks today and SO relieved to hit that milestone. Tomorrow afternoon is our next appointment and DH and I are making a whole afternoon/evening of it since we have to travel an hour away to our doc. I planned my appointment late in the day so we could stick around and get some dinner (restaurants in our small town SUCK) and maybe buy a few little things for the beh beh

Also, random side note: I bought some thick lotion cream last night to use for stretch mark prevention and it smelled SO good in the jar....now it's on my skin and it smells like nail polish remover

@fussygal: oooh have fun tomorrow!

@fussygal: We're appointment buddies! Have fun at yours! Enjoy your nice dinner, too!

@anonysquire: @Mrs. Champagne: I waited until about 8 weeks to tell my parents and only them and my inlaws know. Well, also DH's work, but only because of our history and so that they're aware and can be prepared in March for when he takes some time off.

My bff knows, too, but because she went to the same ob/gyn as I'm going to now and just had a planned c-section, so I grilled her with all the questions about it that I asked HB.

That's it, though. I'm not sure a fb reveal will happen for me. I'm telling DS tomorrow, if my ultrasound is good, and calling my brothers probably this weekend.

There's a little PERSON inside of me! Its little heart is just beating away! Doctor said it looks great! It's real, now!
And there's only one!
I'm measuring 10w 1d, though, so my due date is now April 10. I had a feeling I ovulated later since it took a while to get the bfp.
Little Thing was just kicking and wiggling away!
Now, I need a nap.

@Dandelion: yay! glad to hear your happy news! congrats!

@Dandelion: woohoo! Glad your appt went well!

I told DS this afternoon! I showed him the ultrasound picture and asked if he knew what that was. He said, "S?" and I said, nope, this xray was taken today! Took him a second and said, "you have a baby in you right now??" Then he said, "I hope this one gets to come home with us!"
Then of course he asked if it was a boy or girl, lol. I told him we have to wait for that info, lol.

@Dandelion: I teared up reading that You have a sweet boy on your hands

@Bao: ha! I just scheduled my 16 week appt this week. BUT, I'll find out the gender next week or the week after ... whenever those results come in

Oh how fun!

Carrying (Low = boy, high = girl): n/a
Heart rate (under 140 = boy, over 140 = girl): 160, girl
Cravings (Salty = boy, sweets = girl): boy (because I think sour falls under salty?)
Ring test (circle = boy, back and forth = girl): n/a
Acne (no = boy, yes = girl): boy
Previous kids’ first word (dada = boy, momma = girl): n/a
Chinese gender chart: boy
Balance (clumsy = boy, graceful = girl): n/a
Side most rested on (left = boy, right = girl): boy
Morning sickness (none = boy, lots = girl): boy

It took me forever to come up with something, but we finally got it done and up on social media

@Dandelion: thanks! My brain cells were burning trying to come up with something, then I saw a crib eviction notice on Pinterest, and it hit me

@BabyBoecksMom: thanks we have some hilarious outtakes too, I'll have to put them in a grid and post later on!

@BabyBoecksMom: did I mention that I'm slowly going crazy waiting to find out what you are having?? Next week, the week after? C'mon lab, get with it already! I don't remember being this obsessed with finding out last time, but it's all I've been able to think about this time around.

@lemondrop: LOL you make me laugh I'm actually pretty calm this time around, and I'm pretty convinced it's a girl.

Hey! Long time no talk
Things have been going well with me, I'm almost 16 weeks (!!!!!) now - oh and for the list, my EDD is now the 7th of March, not the 6th of March. Such a small difference, but it seems significant!
I've been feeling pretty good, was out of town for a wedding this weekend and although I obviously couldn't drink (though i probably took more sips of my husbands wine than was strictly advised!!), I still had an AWESOME time, danced the night away and actually stayed up past midnight TWO NIGHTS IN A ROW!!! I couldn't believe it!
My belly is properly showing now, and most people at my school know. Still haven't made a f/b announcement, but my husband and i took some photobooth shots at the wedding, and in one he's kissing my belly so I think I might post those and let that be the announcement without actually coming out and saying it.
I have an apt at the birthing centre on Wednesday, and I'm not at all sure what it will involve - should be interesting!
How is everyone???

So I"m officially out! Hit 12 weeks this weekend, and had my really good appointment on Thursday, so we started calling extended family and friends and I announced to my coworkers at a department meeting. Then apparently my whole school got the news in no time!

It is so strange for people to ask me how I'm feeling after being so secretive for what felt like forever. And I was surprised how many people were like, "I knew it!" Uh, no you didn't, haha

@HazelEyes: exciting! our closest friends and families know, and two co-workers. Most of the people DH works with know too.

I haven't told my boss!! He's not the friendliest. But I should probably tell him soon - if our weekly meeting is cancelled this week which its looking like it will be.. I won't see him until next week when I'll be 15 weeks 4 days! My pants are already too tight!

I'm amazed at how long some of you have been able to hold out telling people! I told people almost right away both times

@Bao: We already had names picked out from last time, so that makes it easy. We're thinking Caroline or Hudson
