Hellobee Boards

@Gigi2: I'm in the same situation! We had booked a trip to Iceland before my BFP in June. I'll be 10 weeks. It's gonna be an adventurous type trip with hiking and sightseeing. We're even going to sleep in an RV in campsites, no hotels! I'm kind scared now but I'm gonna try to take it easy and take plenty of breaks when I need to. I'll also make sure to take zofran with me just in case.
DH is seeing this trip as the last hurrah before baby comes lol

Had my first appt today - was just a urine test and appt to go over questions/concerns. I'll go back next week/the week after for a u/s since I have long cycles.

I'm sure the NP thought I was crazy b/c I asked her if the urine test came up positive I'm trying to stay positive over here but it's hard!

Hope you're all staying positive yourselves

@Gigi2: I'd keep all those trips on the calendar! I'm actually looking to plan a few things before the fall myself.

@pmrlady: Iceland sounds amazing - I've always wanted to go! You're smart to bring zofran. I'm sure you'll have a great time.

@MrsMcD: Thanks. I live in NY.
I just hope I won't be too exhausted to enjoy it fully when the time comes.

@Gigi2: Another vote for go! I'll be traveling at 11 weeks as well but nothing as amazing as you ladies!

@Oliviapope: Also staying positive over here!

We're planning on going on our yearly vacation in September. We'll probably travel across the Atlantic to the US. Hope it all goes well. We'll see...

@ValentineMommy: Not too bad now that I've had lunch. I was a little queasy before that. I am more and more looking forward to that 2nd trimester. I found that the second time around you look even more forward to it because you know what to expect

So fun that you guys have all these trips planned! We are taking a huge road trip in week 13--it's not an option (a big, long-planned family trip with the ILs) so we are going for it. I'm hoping I can keep the pregnancy from them until then so we can announce on the trip. That will give me something to look forward to.

@ValentineMommy: @Pumuckl: This is me to a T today! I am weirded out because I feel a lot better the last couple of days than I had been....week 6 was brutal, and now I've been feeling a lot better since yesterday. I'm counting down until that US....8 DAYS!

Hope its ok to join! Got my BFP today and based on LMP, my estimated due date is Jan 26. So excited that I can barely focus on work! I don't know if it psychological or not but I am feeling really nauseous this morning. Also, maybe TMI but I am constantly feeling wet down there. I actually thought that I had gotten AF yesterday on my way home from work. Is this normal? I don't remember this for my first pregnancy.

@ValentineMommy: Yes to the tired! I'm the exact same way--I have an insane week this week--meetings and stuff until 7, 8, 9PM every night...and yesterday I literally went home for lunch and slept. Oops! Haha. But feeling much better other than that. Can't believe you only have 6 days left! YAHOO!

@NerdBee: Welcome, lady!!! And congratulations! And you are not alone--I'm 7w1d today, and actually considered buying liners yesterday just because I'm feeling so leaky. Ha!

@Pumuckl: Yes! I am SO TIRED all day and then I sleep like crap. Ugh!

@ValentineMommy: @mfa_lady: @Pumuckl: thanks for the warm wecome and reassurance that this leaky feeling is normal. I am still constantly looking at the photo of my bfp to remind myself that it is real.

I have been feeling super tired during the day and sleeping like crap at night too! I keep waking up for no reason, and although I fall back asleep fairly quickly, I don't feel rested when my alarm goes off in the morning. Coffee is making me feel super nauseous so I think I'm going to cut it out. Bleh.

@Pumuckl: I have the SAME problem. Tired all day. Get home and can't relax/fall asleep. UGH. I get up at 5am for work, so it's been really rough.

@NerdBee: no problem! I am constantly looking at my BFPs....and I may have taken something like 15. Lol Damn those wondfo's....there were just so many! I cut caffeine out the day I got my BFP and it suuuucks. Get ready for that headache

@NerdBee: Confession: For the first week I made regular trips back to bathroom where I kept (or should I say keep) my BFP to look at it just to remind myself that yes infact IT IS REAL!

@Pumuckl: LOL. You ladies are all so awesome. I love how you make me feel like the obsessive things that I do are perfectly normal

@pmrlady: thank you! Yes, this is my second but it is different from my first already. I am feeling symptoms so much earlier this time and also symptoms that I didn't have the first time. I am sort of hoping this means that I will have a girl this time but I have read that different symptoms don't necessarily mean different sex for baby

@ValentineMommy: omg, waking up at 5am every day to get to work? How are you even still awake? Its almost lunch time and I am already feeling sleepy. I fully expect to go into a food coma after lunch, especially with no afternoon coffee.

DS is 25 months. I really want a daughter for myself but I won't be sad to have another son. I think DS would love to have a brother to tear around with We're done after 2 so if this one is not a girl then that's it. How old is your DS?

@nerdbee: congratulations

@PMRlady: Iceland! That's awesome! I've been wanting to go for a long time - can't wait to hear how your trip goes! Hopefully your DH will counteract all that adventure and hiking with some nice long foot rubs for you

Leaving for trip #1 soon! So sleepy. Will check in with all you ladies when I'm back, but in the meantime keep feeling well!!

Updating the list! If you see anything that needs to be changed/added, feel free to fix and re-post yourself Otherwise I'm happy to update when I remember.

@NerdBee: Yup....7 years of being up this early and I'm still not used to it. It's very tiring. Lol DS is 15m. I'd really like to have a girl and be done with one of each....but we'll see! I do love my little boy so much, but I'd love to have one of each....especially cause I grew up the younger sister (to an older bro) and loved it!

@mfa_lady: oh no! I hope you feel better!

@Gigi2: have a great trip!!!!

@charmed: I feel the same way. I'm basically constantly eating to keep nausea at bay.

Aaaaand exhausted again today. Someone said it looked like I was going to pass out. Greeeeeeat

When did you find out: I pretty much knew from the start, but I found out on May 15th.

How do you feel?: So far so good, but a bit nauseous.

Child #: 2

What type of birth do you want to have?: Can I just go for it and say an easy one?

When is your first appointment?: I went to the doctors for the first time yesterday and I need to go back next month.

What are you most excited about?: The whole thing. My first pregnancy was pretty turbulent and we were in a bad spot financially, but my daughter changed my life in so many amazing ways.
This time we are in a better spot to have another child. I'm looking forward to everything but especially to introducing my daughter to her little brother or sister.

What are you scared/nervous about?: Postpartum depression. I had it pretty bad last time and don't want to go through it again.

Congrats to all the other Januaries out there.
