Hellobee Boards

Hi ladies....I am a very late addition to the May group!

Location: San Francisco, CA
EDD: May 24
How far along: 16 weeks
First child? Yup!
Any symptoms so far? I had a couple rough weeks from 6-8, but I feel pretty great now. I've definitely been lucky.
Who have you told? Just about everyone, at this point! We told immediate family and a few close friends right away, then extended family, work, etc. after our NT scan at 14 weeks.

@daisyfay: welcome!!

@Tippy0707: my original due date was May 19 which is my DHs bday but the dr office says its may 27

@Tippy0707: Yes, will try to remember to update it tonight!

Our appointment is at 3:45 EST today. I am dying to know what this baby is!!!!

@SeptMomma12: I can't wait to hear!

@Tippy0707: mine is 5-30-15 which has no sentiment. But I won't be going past 36 weeks which is 5-2. My son was born 11-12-13 so I feel obligated to get this kid a cool birthday lol. 5/2 is a Saturday so if I can make it to 36 I'll be having a c section on 5-1-15 which is kinda cool. My cousins baby was born 4-30 so I really don't want that day. I'm also lame and like that 5-1-15 is all odd numbers. But there's a high chance I'll deliver earlier and be stuck in April with even numbers and odd. LOL. Which as long as it's not 4-20 then I guess oh well! I way over think this!

@SeptMomma12: I'm guessing girl! I'm an hour behind you! I hope you update tonight I'll be stalking

So...the tech thinks it's a GIRL! But couldn't be 100% sure. First she though she saw something for a boy but then she saw three lines which she said is a girl. So she said her guess would be girl but we have to wait a month to know for sure. Our actual anatomy scan is January 6. I am very excited but it's almost more torturous to think you know but not be sure!!!

@BabyPenguinXO: I asked her for a potty shot for that exact reason - I love those boards - but she couldn't get the baby back in the right position again

Hi everyone! I haven't posted in a while, but we had our anatomy scan on Monday so I wanted to pop in to update - it's a boy! My daughter is in denial and keeps insisting that it's a girl, but I keep promising her that the doctor said it's a boy.

I was so sick for quite a while, happy to finally be feeling better and be settled into the "easy" second trimester.

@GoGoSnoGirl: Too funny! My daughter will have just turned 3 when this baby arrives, so it may be the same in our house!

@SeptMomma12: The anticipation level definitely would have been upped! I'm thinking girl! Also, thanks again for updating the list!
@LC: Yay! Congrats!
@chanada: Have you had an ultrasound yet? I'm from Manitoba (not sure if it's the same in Sask.) and we don't generally have our first until 20 weeks but I was able to get a dating ultrasound early on. I absolutely can't wait to see our first "baby" ultrasound! The dating one just looked like a little bean with a flicker of a heartbeat (I was 8 weeks at the time).

We are holding fast to Team Green. Are there any others on our board?

@jetsa: Yay! Look at us…due date twins and team greens!

@jetsa: I'm a first timer so I have nothing to compare too. But I've had a fairly easy pregnancy so not much to complain about. Cross my fingers that I had a nice easy newborn that sleeps all the time, has no problems breastfeeding and is happy all the time. Thats not much to ask for, is it? lol

@jetsa: Ditto! I'm not excited about getting no sleep, but it beats being pregnant (hello guilt -free limitless wine & raw tuna sushi). I also think I will appreciate someone who is so immobile they can't go ANYWHERE. Not being mobile is such a distant memory, and I did not treasure it while I had it. Now I have a wild monster on the loose and it's madness!!! I didn't know how sweet it was that she couldn't even roll over the first few months- ha!

Hi guys! I've missed you! Sorry for not checking in as much lately. Apparently life took over and while I was reading through, I was too lazy to type out responses (bring honest, though it makes me sound crazy lazy ). We are just over 17w and most everyone super close to us knows, but almost no one at work. It's entertaining. Someone that does know, however, but has zero filter, said it just looks like I had a ton of beer over the weekend. Ouch. I think I'll just start spreading the news faster now. Haha. Feeling kicks often, and DH finally felt it tonight. Can't wait until next Friday for the scan!! Hope you guys are all doing so well. Love seeing the bumps, I'll add one soon!

Oh and @SeptMomma12: thank you so much for keeping track of our due dates. If you remember next time you update, can you change mine to 5/19? Thanks!!

@PrincessBaby: That's crazy you are halfway! 20 weeks for me is New Years Day.

I'm not feeling too much over here. It's kinda weird. I forgot to ask yesterday if I have an anterior placenta. With my son, I was definitely feeling kicks at this point, but with this one, I just feel some weird fluttery, turning feelings every now and then. I assume it's baby but haven't had anything I am 100% sure

@PrincessBaby: Yeah, this LO was a week ahead yesterday too. I grow them big! My son's "record" was measuring 3.5 weeks ahead at a 28 week ultrasound. Explains why he is off the charts now

I am hoping to start feeling her/him soon! It would make me feel better about all these stupid contractions I'm already getting.

@SeptMomma12: Did your son come any earlier than his due date if he was so big? That is my fantasy, that this LO will come early:) We have a huge scheduling issue because of my husband's career/work schedule and if she would just come early, like end of April, it would help me to avoid a second induction! So I fantasize that large = early, but have no idea if that's true bc my DD was always right on track, to the day, and was born ant 6lb9oz (induced at 39).

@PrincessBaby: He came three days before his due date. I ended up needing a c-section though because he got stuck. I was on bed rest from 28 weeks until 36 weeks and they told me he would be here the weekend I went off bed rest...nope, he hung in for almost 4 more weeks! Will cross my fingers your LO listens though

@Mrs. Lovejoy: @LindsayInNY: Yeah, I don't think anyone I haven't specifically told at work knows I am pregnant, either, here at 16wks. I have a little belly going on, but they may all just think I'm really enjoying some holiday cheer! Lol!
