Hellobee Boards

@Mae: I could totally use a nap! I almost called in sick today bc it was so hard to get moving this morning but with the time I will need to take off for appts I really shouldnt waste days

I WISH i could just throw up already. I've been vomitting very little every day (the type that u just puke up in your mouth or at the back of your throat and then spit in a bathroom sink, sorry that is gross) but every night i get intense nausea and wish my body would just throw it up so I can feel better and rest!

I'm at work sitting with dry crackers and a glass of water, when I would normally be smelling the entire office up with my lunch aroma. A co-worker has already asked another close colleague of mine if I am "OK". Lol.

My appointment is tomorrow and I am getting very nervous about it. Keeping this a secret from most people til the appointment has NOT worked. DH has a larrggee close-knit family and we are part of a very close-knit church and well.. word goes around :). I pray everything is going well and that I only have good news to relay after the appointment.

@kentuckygirl: Yay, so exciting! I hope your dr will agree to moving up your beta!

Morning ladies.... Made 6 weeks Saturday and immediately started puking. And again yesterday morning and this morning. Thought I was getting off easy this time, and also thought I might be having a girl since I never threw up with my daughter. Nope! This is pretty much the same as with my son, except without the excruciating gas cramps (fx those don't show up). All I can say is Thank God for Ginger Kombucha.

But, I'm happy to have gone in for my big bloodwork this morning at my OB's office, which means the ultrasound is only 2 weeks away!

@Mae: That confuses me every time. What helps is I got the What to Expect app and it tells you exactly where you are. Today it says I am 6w2d and in my 7th week. So you don't hit 2nd tri until you are 12weeks, which means you're in your 13th week.

@Mae: I like to appear farther along so I round it up ha! So right now I am 7w1d and if anyone asks i'll say 8 weeks.... nahh, i'll say 2 months! That sounds cooler

Oh my gosh, girls, it's TWINS! We knew this could happen, of course, having transferred two with IVF, but still. Oh my. Our doctor said they look perfect. We saw the heartbeats and both of them are measuring two days ahead. We go back in two weeks (on my birthday!) to see them again. Here's a picture of our little babes:

@twodoghouse: CONGRATS!!!!! So exciting

@twodoghouse: oh wow!!! Congrats on two sticky babies! Hope they stay right on track! No wonder you have been feeling so yucky!

@skipra: yay for another good appt report!

I still have to wait 3 weeks for mine and feel like it will be a lot more real once I can see the heartbeat. So excited for all of you!

@twodoghouse: eeeeeeee!!! So you are the one to get the twins!!! Oh I am so excited for you (and a wee bit envious!!!)

I am 7w today! Docs office called and blood and urine they took last week (what felt like a zillion vials of blood) all came back good! U/S next week, and yah this crazy nausea? Oh man, last night I felt like I went to bed like a drunk teenager, just wanted to puke or fall asleep!!!

@twodoghouse: double congrats, mamma! So exciting! Can't wait to hear about your journey.

@MamaCate: @cookie_dough: thanks!
@Beebug: Good news for good test results! Yay! I love it when we switch weeks, hooray for making 7w!

@MRSHONEYBEAR: This was my first appointment so it was probably longer than usual. We went over a bunch of health history and questions I had, as well as doing an exam. I think normally appointments are 10-20 minutes? I do remember last time that I felt pretty rushed at most appointments, but if there is something worrisome then your appointment will take longer.

@Coopersmama: welcome! So glad to have another May mama joining us! What great news about your ultrasound! Best wishes for a healthy pregnancy!

@Coopersmama: It can be such a roller coaster ride! I am on pregnancy #2 and my first pregnancy was so boring in such a good way--everything on track, no crazy side effect/symptoms, healthy mama and healthy baby. I am keeping my fingers crossed that my luck holds with this one....and now i hope everyone has a "boring" pregnancy like I did!

@Coopersmama: welcome!!! Glad that are you are feeling good so far

@Coopersmama: Welcome! I'm glad you've been feeling good so far and that you've already had an appointment, seen the heartbeat, etc!

That is so crazy about the waitlist for daycare! Do you live in a big city? I can't imagine figuring out all those details so far in advance! I'm overwhelmed by the decision of what to eat for lunch right now.

@Coopersmama: @Mae: DH asked me if we could get on the waiting list at daycare before the baby was even conceived! I said we at least need a due date. I'm planning on waiting until I'm at least 8 weeks, maybe 12. Our daycare (where DS is at now) is really great, run by a university so they have not only the regular staff but also work study students. So in the infant class, there were 5 or 6 babies, two "teachers," and usually at least 2 students. The problem is they only take new babies in August, and they have to be 4 months old, and this LO will only be 3 months old by August, yikes.

@Mae: One of my friends works from home 4 days a week and her kids are in daycare. I think it was part of the agreement allowing her to work from home rather than commuting to the office. You might want to check with your employer because a lot of them are pretty strict about that.
