Hellobee Boards

@Gigi2: with my first I didn't show til 17 weeks! I'm 9.5 weeks and def showing (with my second).

@Radish: awesome!! Ultrasound?

@Raindrop: Yeah, my doctor will only change it off of the LMP dues date if it is over a week difference. She actually said it looked developmentally early 9 weeks, but the actual measurement gave us 8 weeks 4 days so we will go by that due date.

@Gigi2: I didn't show noticeably (i.e. to people at work) until 19 or 20 weeks. But I started noticing a difference at 12 weeks.

@charmed: With my first I didn't feel movement until 21-22 weeks. It was pretty late but I had an anterior placenta. It was actually hiccups that I felt first. It felt like really bad gas bubbles, but they were so rhythmic and lasted for several minutes!

@Raindrop: Yes! It was really weird and it was every day, multiple times a day sometimes. She still gets them pretty frequently and she's 20 months now.

Here at the hospital taking my 3 hour glucose test.

Also was kind of bleeding a lot this morning with red blood and clots and so I also have an appointment with my OB again today. I am pretty sure I am my OBs problem child. :). Trying to stay positive.

How is everyone today?

@Raindrop: Ugh, if I lived nearby, I'd be showering you in stuff! 3 hour glucose test? Boo. Hope everything is fine! Sending you sunny love from Florida

@Raindrop: I hope the bleeding lets up and everything checks out okay. on your glucose test.

@namaste: My next appointment is also July 23rd. I'm pretty much a month behind you.

@mfa_lady: @Radish: thanks ladies.

Just got my second draw and the guy poked me 3 times. Uncool!

@Raindrop: Hope you pass your test and the bleeding lets up.

@Raindrop: Ugh adulthood. Hope your test is over soon my dear! I'm still annoyed from the three vials they took from me this morning so you're a trooper!

@Radish: That's pretty neat! It makes it easy for me to remember when you're going in.

I'just found out there's a Motherhood Maternity outlet nearby. Outlets can be pretty messy, especially in the summertime but I'm going to brave it anyway since it's close by to Old Navy/Gap.

@oliviaoblivia: @MapleMoose: thanks!

As you can see super bored waiting. :). The First Lady totally jinxed me. I have been told my veins are hard to find and she said oh they aren't that bad. So my third draw the lab person totally gave up after 2 failed pokes and the First Lady had to save the day. Lucky she able to get the first try and told me to fine her for my last draw. But to be honest the needles are pretty small so they are uncomfortable but bearable.

Though now I have 7 holes on my arms and hands for 3 draws.

@MapleMoose: that is exciting! Glad it was a good appointment.

@Raindrop: oh no! I'm so sorry. How much longer to you have to wait?

@charmed: @Happygal: done with taking blood and my appointment. Baby is doing great. My OB is awesome. I asked if I should contact her if I bleed more. She yes! It is always nice to see me and if I am concerned then she wants to check with the baby. So sweet.

@Raindrop: Yay!!

Hi guys. Sorry I have been Mia but we are in SC on vacation and I am barely online these days. Glad that nothing bad has happened all week and that so many of you have had good appointments.

We told some friends who are down here with us and my inlaws who are here as well. It has been amazing livings "out of the closet" for a week before heading home and attempting to hide it again. Which will be nearly impossible since i easily look 20 weeks pregnant. Strangers have asked me point blank if I know what I am having yet...to which I have answered that I am only NINE weeks (almost ten now, I guess, but GEEZ). Feeling really thankful that I bought a few maternity staples (shorts especially) before we left.

Today's a big day in our family--my husband is going to find out for sure about an offer for a new job and we have our NT scan! I'm 12+5 today, and am hoping I'll really feel SO MUCH RELIEF when I see that little babe on the screen. I'm a nervous wreck, but trying hard to relax. Only 7 more hours!!!!

In other news, assuming all goes well today, we'll start telling more people (and hopefully take some cute pictures of our dogs to eventually announce more publicly) and will tell my husband's entire family when we see them on vacation early next week.

@mfa_lady: fx for only good news all around today!! Keep us posted
