Weddingbee boards

Here's all of my information!

How many weeks/estimated due date: I'm about 7 weeks, 4 days along, due approximately July 14.

Baby #: This is our first.  This wasn't planned but as the days go by we seem to get more and more excited!

Recent/upcoming appointments: My first appointment is next Thursday so we'll get all of the preliminary stuff out of the way and get our first ultrasound.  

How you're feeling: I've been okay.  Mainly I've been extremely tired and haven't really had an appetite but no real nausea.

Who you've told so far: Our immediate families know but we're waiting to see how things are going before we announce it to everyone else. 

Any advice/words of wisdom: I have none so far since this is the first time I've done this and I'm not that far along yet but I'll add some if I have some!

How many weeks/estimated due date: I'm a little over 5 weeks, EDD August 10th

Baby #: A long wanted, long tried for #1. Praying this one sticks!

Recent/upcoming appointments: Waiting impatiently for my insurance card to come in...hoping to make an appointment tomorrow for (fingers crossed) before Christmas. I'm hoping that the recent miscarriage + at least 1, maybe 2 chemical pregnancies + over a year trying will be enough to get them to see me before Christmas. 

How you're feeling: Tired and moody, mostly. My patience is sapped. I could sleep all day. My boobs are sore most of the day, and my face is breaking out like crazy. No vomiting yet, but I've definitely done some dry-heaving. This sense of smell is ridic. Oh, and cramps. The cramps terrify me. They come out of nowhere and stop quickly, but I always immediately go to the bathroom expecting to see blood. 

Who you've told so far: My mom the morning I tested. She apparently already knew. My BFF SIL (and by extension her boyfriend). That's about it. We're planning on telling DH's family on Christmas.

Any advice/words of wisdom: I definitely don't feel qualified to give advice or wisdom yet! But I guess that it's okay to totally zonk out and nap during the day. 

@Ree723: Thanks! I'll try upping my water intake...I'm up peeing every hour anyway. 

Wow, congrats to all the BFPS. I remember so many people from the pre-BFP boards so it is wonderful to see so many graduates. As for me:

How many weeks/estimated due date:  I'm 13 weeks and 4 days, due the 14th of June! Our due date keeps shifting, but this is the current one. While I know technically June 14th is still spring, it is more likely that the baby will arrive ii the summer so I'm gonna stay here. Pplus everyone on the Sring Babies thread is much further ahead than me.

Baby #:  This is our first. We couldn't believe how quickly it happened!

Recent/upcoming appointments:  I have had 3 u/s, the last one being my NT scan whic I had last week. I got the results today and the chances of Downs are 1 in 10000 which doc said was a great result so we are really happy and excited.  My next app is on Dec 21st.

How you're feeling:  I feel pretty good. I'm mostly just fatigued and still have a lot of food aversions but otherwise I'm good.

Who you've told so far:  We have told quite a few people. We are now pretty much going public with it as of today, and I'm really excited to finally be out of hiding.

Any advice/words of wisdom:  No serious advice, except I can't believe how lazy I am being about my exercise. I have done maybe 10 mins of prenatal yoga, that is it. I would say it is best not to do as I do haha.

@bunnylovesbear: Heh I totally cried at the end of that episode too...but it was because I was nauseous and had the closest thing to a migraine I could have without having an actual migraine, just feeling like crap all over, and was watching the show to try to distract myself, and then DH walked in from work with flowers for me, and I burst into tears. 

@orvis18: thanks for bumping I had no idea we had this thread!!

How many weeks/estimated due date: I'm 19W and a few days EDD 7/8 - 7/12

Baby #: This is our first and possibly only biological. We are excited to meet our miracle baby!

Recent/upcoming appointments: Anatomy scan on Friday. I am looking forward to seeing our little munchkin and I am nervous to find out if the 14 w ultrasound tech was right and our little munchkin is a she.

How you're feeling: Pretty darn good! aside from a few nights where I can't get comfy or I have round ligament pain. I am pretty lucky in that I have had a mostly symptom free pregnancy.

Who you've told so far: Everyone at this point.

Any advice/words of wisdom: Drink your water (this is a reminder to me too) and enjoy every minute of it. I am already basically half way done and I can't believe how quickly time has flown by. I think about how quickly I went from BFP to now and I think our little one will be here in that same amount of time....and then I freak out because I feel like I still have so much to do!

Excellent, I forgot about this thread! I saw the Fall one last night and was thinking we should have a summer one...although depending on the weather I consider August either late summer or very early fall :)

So an update: 

How many weeks, estimated due date: 14 weeks, 4 days, EDD August 10th, although I measured about 4 days ahead at both ultrasounds I've had so far. I know there's only a small possibility of delivering on that day, but I hope I do, because 8/10/12 is very mathematically pleasing to both me and DH. But really I just hope I don't deliver on the 4th...it's my niece's birthday, and I don't think she'd like to share. And the 11th is my BIL's birthday, but I don't think he would care. 

Baby #: 1! It took us over a year to get pregnant with a sticky baby, so we're beyond thrilled. DH has taken to putting his ear on my belly every night before bed. He's convinced he can hear baby's heartbeat :)

Recent/Upcoming Appointments: We had our NT scan on January 27th...our chances of DS went from 1/867 before the screening to 1/4510 after, and the Trisomonies went from 1/1550 to less than 1/10,000. We know something could still be wrong, but those are odds we're happily betting on. Our next appointment is on March 1st. 

How you're feeling: A lot better than I have been. The nausea seems to have stopped (knock on wood, fingers crossed, went outside turned around three times and spit, etc etc) and my appetite has come back, much to DH's relief, since I lost around 10 lbs in the first trimester. I ate 4 tacos at dinner last night. I'm still tired, but I don't have the overwhelming urge to sleep all day. I'm a bit bitchier than normal, though...like my temper is a lot shorter. I'm also crying at the drop of a hat. 

Who You're Told So Far: Everyone but my nieces, which is hard because I really WANT to tell them, but at my SIL's request, we're waiting until we move out (hopefully within the next few weeks). We've been staying with them for a while...to help my almost single SIL with her girls, and to save some money, but we're ready for our own place now. Problem is, my SIL's mom is very disapproving of us being here, and would throw a shit-fit if she knew I was pregnant, and Em would get the brunt of it. The girls are great, and I know they'll be excited, but they're also children and would tell their grandmother. We came out on FB Friday before last. 

Any Wisdom/Words of Advice: Well, to any Summer mamas reading this thread, probably not since I'm at the tail end of Summer, and would benefit more from their advice than they would from mine. To any Fall mamas reading this thread: Your probably feel like crap now, but It Gets Better. Don't feel guilty for taking a nap during the day, or letting your partner take over the lion's share of cooking and housework for a while. And it's really okay if all you can stomach is oatmeal and PB&J's. Your appetite will eventually return. 

(And my own contribution): 

Gender: I have a feeling it's a girl, and more often than not refer to the baby as she/her, but I think we're going to be Team Green, so we'll find out in August. 

Yay, I was searching for this thread for ages last night. We should definitely try to keep it hopping, the Spring Babies thread is so inspiring. I am 22 weeks and 5 days pregnant. My due date is June 14th, so really I am at the absolute end of Spring, but I'm pretty sure the baby is coming in the summer.

Right now I feel awesome. I'm just trying to make the most of it while preganancy still feels like fun. I'm off on my babymoon on Sturday, after we get back, everything will seem a lot more real I guess. We haven't bought anything whatsoever yet, eek!

EDIT: We are having a girl. So flipping excited!

@krsmall:  We are going to Mexico City. I didn't want a beach, I wanted a city break because I think the food will be better to compensate for the lack of alcohol :) Oh my gosh, once we start buying things, you are right, it will definitely feel way more real.

I bet it is really quite fun house hunting now pucturing your future together in the new house. Are you guys going to buy before the baby comes or are you just looking to get a feel for what is out there?

I'm feeling good today. I would have felt better if DH didn't wake me up super early and put his cold hands on me...and woke me up from a dream where I was about to have sex with Johnny Depp. But boyfriend brought me coffee and a croissant, so I can't be too bitter. 

Overall I'm feeling really good. I'm not as exhausted anymore, and haven't thrown up in over a week. I've had some close calls, but mostly when faced with gross smells (like cleaning out the fridge last night) or going too long without eating. And speaking of going too long without eating--my body has gone from not wanting food at all to wanting it OMG FEED ME RIGHT NOW OR YOU'LL BE SORRY! 

My craving for the past two weeks has been oranges. All of the time. And OJ doesn't cut it, it has to be a real orange. I went through a 10# bag of oranges last week, and my SIL brought me home another bag last night.

@chastenet:  I feel ya about not buying anything. We're in a temporary place right now, and don't have the room to buy anything. We'll hopefully be moved by my birthday in mid-April, though, and then I can go crazy. 

The thread needs to wake up, so we can start a new one with the name "Summer Lovin' Babies 2012"
