Hellobee Boards

@Pumuckl: it makes me so happy to hear that you feel yours moving cuz I swear I do too sometimes and at only 12 weeks, I didn't think it was possible. Totally weird, but so great.

@sorrycharlie: Great pics! So glad your appointment went well

@cheesehead: Ugh I know how terrible it feels to be popping Zofran like candy. Feel better soon!

@Pumuckl: Feeling small movements is always so exciting.

Ugh, my fat cat jumped on my stomach right on my uterus last night and it hurt for an hour or so afterwards. According to the Internet MDs, everything is fine if there isn't still cramping and there isn't. Just making sure no one else has a hyperactive cat at 11:00 at night who likes to jump on their uterus.

@namaste: ouch! I wouldn't worry too much, our bodies are well designed to keep baby safe.

@Radish: Not so worried but DH panicked for a bit lol it was just obnoxiously painful.

@Cupcake: My fat cat probably weighs the same and is way less appreciative

@sorrycharlie: I updated it .

It is so weird being at the tail end of the pack - I feel like I have forever until I get an anatomy scan (most likely September).

@Radish: we can have september anatomy scan together

Successful NT scan this morning. Baby was wiggly, eating its hands, and had a steady thumping little heart (167). So so so so so so relieved.

@Mrs. Confetti: Hooray! Is that the nub in that picture?

@Mrs. Confetti: Yay for a great scan!!

I had my first "when are you due?" from a stranger (15w4d.) Answering with January and seeing their eyes bug out was really fun. Yeah jerk I have a big belly shut up.

We're up to our eyeballs in boxes and have started slowly moving things over to our new place. Movers come on Wednesday for all the big stuff. I'm excited to move into our new space, but the moving is stressful!

I go on Thursday and hope to hear the heartbeat. After hearing about people having difficulty finding the heartbeat, I moved the appointment to a time when my husband will come--I would hate to be alone if that happened!

@Happygal: We're moving right now too! Actually we're packing, then going on vacation (bad timing!!), then the movers show up 15 hours after we get back. I'm kinda freaking out about it. Hope your move is smooth!

@Snowdrop: I don't even know. This is the same provider that I had last time and I didn't pay anything but one co-pay before delivery that time, but I was on a different insurance. My insurance will change soon anyways, I just don't want to deal with it all. I doubt I can get it moved up, but I'm going ask at least since I've read 18-20 weeks online. I don't want to end up paying a bunch of money I shouldn't since I'm already paying a lot for my insurance. I hope that this next week goes quickly for you and you get a peek at a beautiful healthy baby!

Hey everyone! Catching up. All the pictures of everyone's babies are sooo cute! Love them.

Got back from the vacation / destination wedding. The wedding was great but turns out the bride and groom were kind of unhappy how things went. I really hope they over come those thoughts some day.

All and all I think I don't like Hawaii but I have been chit chatting with my co-workers it's probably just the time of year and being on the big island might have been the problem. They think I should try going to a more popular island next time. We probably won't go back for years though. It was still a good experience.

@Raindrop: Oh boo! I think all people stress about their wedding and things that went wrong but no one even notices! It rained on my bff's first ceremony while we were in Hawaii. I really liked Kauai b/c it's smaller and underdeveloped. I don't think I would have enjoyed Maui or Oahu quite as much since they're so busy, especially now. Hopefully you guys can visit again and find an island you enjoy!

Haven't posted in a while, glad everyone is doing well.

@Happygal: @oliviaoblivia: @Mrs. Blue: Good luck with the moving!

@namaste: @oliviaoblivia: I'm 15 weeks and I feel like I'm in the in-between stage where I look bigger but not enough to say that it's definitely a baby bump and not just extra fat. I really don't like this stage, I wish I could fast forward to 20 weeks when I won't have to be self-conscious about looking fatter lol. It doesn't help that DH's cousin is also pregnant and is not showing at all yet.

@pmrlady: Yes to the 15 weeks stage. I feel you! No matter what I wear, I just feel like people are trying to figure out what the deal is. When we were on vacation with my in-laws, my just-married, never-pregnant SIL said "Aww! You're in the chubby stage!" Um, no. You're not allowed to say that to me, even if it is true. Bring on 20 weeks!

@pmrlady: ugh, same here. When I wear normal clothes it's obvious my stomach is bigger, but not in a cute baby bump sort of way. And when I wear maternity clothes it looks like a beer belly

@mfa_lady: what! You can't say "chubby stage" to anyone woman, pregnant or not!! I would have been livid.

I'm officially in the second trimester, and I've felt pretty great the past week. Except for my pants not buttoning, I don't feel pregnant at all (which is worrisome in its own way, but I'm happy to have more energy and a slightly better appetite). Can't wait for this little one to start moving around so I feel like somethings actually happening!

I've asked this somewhere else, but wanted to hear from the January women--what do you/your doctor consider the start of the 2nd trimester?

Most of my friends say 12 weeks, my app says 13, and I've even seen 14 weeks. It doesn't really matter, but I'm curious.

I got a call yesterday to see if I can interview for a teaching position today. It's just the type of thing I've been hoping for b/c it's split between 2 schools and would allow me to continue consulting work. I'm already getting ahead of myself and looking for childcare, which is both competitive and pricey in our town.

@OliviaBolivia: good luck! Where will you be going on vacation?

@Happygal: I considered weeks 1 - 13 weeks the first tri. Mostly because I'm anal and didn't want to get ahead of myself/jinx anything. So, apparently I'm a freak. Hahahaha. I counted the beginning of the second tri on the first day of week 14. No idea what that means for the rest of the trimesters....one day at a time, right?

Congratulations on the potential job! I hope you get it--it sounds like it would be a great fit. Plus, I'd like to have a pregnant-at-the-new-job buddy.

How's the move coming?

@Happygal: Going to hang with Winnibee in New Mexico.
