Hellobee Boards

@Travelinmoon: oh my goodness. I am SO, so very sorry! Sending you hugs!

@Travelinmoon: I am so sorry to hear this .

@Travelinmoon: Oh you poor thing! My heart aches for you. That is awful and not fair at all. Sending hugs and love to you and your husband.

@Travelinmoon: OMG I am so sorry! How awful to hear that news by yourself too! You are in my thoughts & prayers.

Thank you all, I'm still processing. I like to get bad news by myself so it wasn't especially hard for me but it was so hard to tell my husband..that's when I broke down. She's still here though so I'm trying to take it slow and make the right decisions. We just want to name her but I'm having a hard time finding something that fits her.

@Travelinmoon: thinking of you . I know you will find a beautiful name

@Travelinmoon: I am so, so sorry. Sending you loads of love

@Bubbles: oh no!!! Poor guy!! Hope 3rd time is the charm and it stays away forever and ever sheesh.

And bonus adorable boys, lol.

@erinbaderin: yup. He truly has platinum blonde hair! Lol. It might darken up a bit when we leave sunny California. I joke that this baby will be born with dark brown hair cuz he'll be born in Maryland and his brothers were born in California.

@Alivoo01: Wes is always much better dressed than Oliver, hahaha. Wes has always enjoyed being dressed "nice," he's tried to wear that vest every day since we got it. Oliver had a bow tie on too but wouldn't tolerate it, haha. Wes is regularly in jeans, a plain t, and a button up with the sleeves cuffed and has dressed like that since he could walk. Oliver wears a lot of overalls and t-shirts cuz it suits him. He looks funny in Wesley's old clothes, it's weird. Strange how they can look so similar but their personalities make them completely different.

@Alivoo01: Happy to report that despite not feeling anything yet, my anatomy scan on Friday was great and the baby is still doing great! They said we'll probably feel movements within the next 2 weeks. My placenta is up front so its providing a bit of (unwanted) padding.

@Travelinmoon: I am at a loss for words - but I am sending prayers and hugs your direction.

@erinbaderin: Congrats on the veggie win - we struggle big time with this but daycare has assured me Kate eats good veggies at school so I try not to panic at dinner time!

@leighleigh: Congrats on the Boy!!!

@Navy_Mommy: GREAT pictures! So fun! Love their little (or not so little) personalities!

Two trips to the ER and two drips to the Dr and I hope I am getting over whatever I had/have. Still no answers so a virus/flu is the best guess at this point. Yesterday I came down with crazy nausea but am thinking it may be because I stopped taking the unisome (bc I was a sleeping machine) Fri/Sat. I am thinking it may have been masking some nausea I have been having and without it it reared its ugly head.

Kate and I are supposed to be traveling to Denver this Friday but I am having serious reservations now. Just a little worried about being less than 100% and traveling by myself with a toddler. Still to be determined. This week I am planning to take it easy, sleep in a bit more than I normally do on work days and just generally try to rest/recover. Hoping it works and I am through the worst of this.

On a positive, I became an auntie again last Thursday. My sister had her son after a short induction at 39w. Her first labor was so quick (3hrs from first contraction to birth) they were worried she may not make it to the hospital with crazy Chicago traffic for this one. She induction it was. Thankfully her body took well to it and he was delivered within about 8hrs of them being admitted to the hospital...doesnt hurt that she was 4cm and 100% effaced when she checked in. Fingers crossed my delivery will be that easy!!!

Speaking of boys... we are expecting baby boy #2! I was thinking I was having a girl and was a bit shocked but now I've been getting excited for brothers!!

So many boys! Congratulations to those of you who have learned the gender recently! I am so ready to know... Monday can't come soon enough!
Dealing with a lot of dizziness lately, anyone else? Going to mention it at my midwife appointment on Wednesday, but I think I had this last time, too, so I'm not really worried.

Wow, so many boys! It's exciting to go through this round of finding out knowing that my time is coming - when everybody was finding out at 12 weeks it made me so impatient! Only 9 days to go!

Congrats Bubbles!!!

@momtimes3: Thank you!

@Lilbear: They had a nightmare getting all the pics they needed during my US as this baby really doesn't move much! I had to go on walks, do star jumps in the corner, go on all fours etc.! But when it came to telling the sex there was no problem

@leighleigh: Hooray for a stellar appt!! Mine's tomorrow and I'm getting more and more nervous, but keeping your appt in mind! Thanks!! And congrats on your lil boy!!!

@Mrs D: OMG and holy cow on your unidentified illness!! How are you feeling today?? Congrats on being an auntie!! how exciting!!

@princessandthebee: Congrats on your 2nd lil boy!! Brothers!!

@mrsrain: Do you have low blood pressure or sugar maybe? Hope you're not anemic!

@Bubbles: Congratulations on your baby boy!!

Quite the boy explosion around here!
