Hellobee Boards

@katiew92081: Yeah. I was just telling DH that last night too. How on Earth do some women not know they are pregnant? I figured they must really be in denila. DH said they must be so high all the time they don't know which end is up!

@Smurfette: Oh yes. I will talk to her and tell her to kick me if I don't feel anything for awhile!

@keepcalmcarrie: Hi! And WELCOME to the hive and the March Mommas thread! Are you Team Pink or Team Blue?

@mole: I know! I'm kind of excited that FINALLY strangers can kind of tell I'm preggers! Well, so far it's just been other moms at Baby Gap and Nordstrom, but still! Have you started reading to baby in the belly yet? I try to read a book to her once or twice a week! Great score on the books!

Weekend plans...we were thinking of going to San Diego for a night, but it's been gloomy & rainy here so I don't want to waste the money for a hotel if it's not even nice enough to walk around. We have a double date for Sunday too!

@keepcalmcarrie: Welcome! Congrats on passing the glucose test. I have been craving sweets too and I am having a girl

As for weekend plans, we have DH's company Christmas party tonight. Not really looking forward to it. Going to be weird not really knowing anyone and being the only one not drinking. I just hope the food is good. Saturday, errands and then going to look at 4 houses. We might be going to dinner with friends that night. Then Sunday I need to make some Christmas treats and make some Christmas crafts.

Weekend plans - we are moving to a new townhouse! Can't wait to have more space for baby boy

@Smurfette: it's tough to be helpful since I can't carry much and I get super tired easily, but luckily my husband is a trooper. Good luck with your continued search!

@keepcalmcarrie: The sweets thing being a girl is definitely true for me! I never had a sweet tooth before, actually love salty stuff, but this lil girl loves sweets!

@aprk: Good luck with the move! Better now than in a couple of months!

Omygosh ladies! Baby's kicks have been getting so strong lately, and I swear if I looked I could see her moving now, so I was lying on my side looking for the movements to show and she kicked me so hard 3x's I could actually feel her foot shape! Tried to get DH to feel it, and he didn't get the kicks as hard, but I got him to feel a foot for sure! Crazy weird, but so cool! You girls seeing movements yet?

@shopaholic: A couple weeks ago, she was kicking really hard and I looked down and I saw where she kicked next pop up. It wasn't a foot or hand though. Since then I haven't been able to catch it. She was kicking hard last night, but would stop every time DH would put his hand there. He seemed so bummed cause she keeps doing that.

@sheskrafty: are you stuffy or sick at all? being sick can throw off your numbers, also. Your numbers aren't that high, so I bet you'll pass the 3 hour. (although it'll be the most boring thing you'll do in the pregnacy, lol)

@sheskrafty: I am so sorry! My friend failed the 1 hour and passed the 3 hour with flying colors. Fingers crossed you have the same luck. And if not, you are NOT a failure. It isn't anything you did or didn't do. My doctor's told me to not fast before my test, so I don't think that it matters.

@katiew92081: Ha! Hopefully baby stays put till March and no snow. But oh the things we worry about. My husband thinks I am crazy cause I come up with these situations all the time.

@sheskrafty: Ugh, sorry you failed your glucose test! @mole did too and she passed her 3-hour one just fine, so I'm sure you'll be fine! I've heard that if you eat anything, you can easily fail the 1-hour test. Do you have to fast for the 3-hour one? I'm assuming yes and that you'll be fine! When do you have to take it?

@Smurfette: Oh poor hubby! I know, I wanted DH to feel exactly what I felt, and he's happy with what he even gets to feel.

@sheskrafty: Oh no! That sucks! I bet the crackers did have to do with it. They didn't ask you to fast for 10 hours before the test? I wasn't even allowed to drink water in between the test, so I would think crackers is definitely a no-no. I also hear a lot of the 1 hour tests fail, so that's why most Dr.'s prefer giving the 3 hour cuz you'll end up doing it anyways?

@katiew92081: Hopefully baby stays in cooking longer! Do they roads get plowed regularly? I know it's so scary when we have to drive in the snow. Hope it's clear for you!

@sheskrafty: At least you're doing it in the morning - that's when mine was too. But like @mole said, you are going to be HUNGRY when you are done!! I went out to breakfast as soon as I was done my test! And I'm sure you'll be fine!!

@Adira: Heh, I'm the opposite. I've decided I want to wait four years for the next one. Granted I have that luxury being young, but before this pregnancy I thought I wanted them two years apart.

@Adira: It is weird when talking about #2 when #1 isn't here yet. We have already discussed to TTC when she is 18 months or so but both agree we will see how we feel once she gets here. But we do have to take in my age as a factor. Will be 34 when she is born. So I can't wait too long.

Thanks @mole!

@adira: I have already been thinking about #2 also! Luckily I've had an easy pregnancy, so we're a lot more likely to start trying after the baby is 6 months, rather than the year we had initially planned.

lol, @adira, and I'm sitting here, thinking, "I'm done! No more after this!" Although with my son, I felt like you do right now.

@katiew92081: LOL! That is awesome! I love it Put a smile on my face after reading about the horrible news in CT.

@katiew92081: awww! That's so cute.

Gosh that shooting this morning was awful! Is there nowhere safe?!

Saw my OB this morning (after waiting almost 1 1/2hrs) and having my appt. cancelled yesterday. Apparently she's been called to the hospital for deliveries every day this week! Yikes!
She said I passed my Glucose/Diabetes test with flying colors! Whoo hoo! So all my candy, ice cream, and Coke actually didn't do me in! She didn't give me numbers though and I didn't ask.
I did score low on Iron though, so now I am on an iron supplement for the rest of the pregnancy + 6 more weeks after that. Not too shocked though, I've always heard I've been borderline anemic. Just worried about taking too much iron.

@shopaholic: Congrats on passing your glucose test!!! Always nice to have someone actually confirm it (as opposed to just assuming no news is good news)! Sorry about the iron deficiency though, although at least it's an easy fix!

@mole: I'm seeing The Hobbit on Sunday! I'm nervous though because I tend to only be able to go 2 hours max without having to pee, so I'm not sure I'll be able to make it through the whole movie without a bathroom break. Oh well!

So we had our CPR class tonight! It was a certification class and covered CPR and choking for adults, children, and infants. I guess CPR standards have changed in the past year, so some of it was new, and we also learned how to use an AED, which I had never heard of before, but I guess is pretty common. Most of what we learned seemed pretty straight-forward - the thing I really wanted to learn was about the choking, so I'm glad I know what to do now. Now I just hope I never need to use any of this information!

@shopaholic: Congrats on passing the glucose test!

@Adira: Glad that the class went well. We need to sign up for one.

@aprk: Looking good. Have fun moving!! Well as much fun as you can
