June Mommas, come hither!

Hey ladies! This is by no means an official "check-in" but just wanted to see how all the lovely June momma's are doing. I am usually at work when there has been a check-in before so I miss all the action. :-)
How is everyone feeling? Have you started spilling the beans? Any other tid bits you'd like to share?

Re: June Mommas, come hither!
My due date was moved up from june 10 to june 7. We got to see the baby for the first time on Monday!!! it was great. I'm still feeling awesome.
We're spilling the beans to family on Thanksgiving, 2 more weeks! and all our close friends and church family know (we live 7 hrs from family and we want to tell them together and in person).
Things seem to be going swimmingly here! My symptoms have been very manageable and I'm still just amazed at this whole being-pregnant thing.
My first appointment is Friday. I can't wait to see the little gummy bear!
Hello!
I am getting ready for the loooong travel day back to Chicago (2 flights & a 2hr drive!). My m/s is really acting up this morning so I'm a little nervous about the flight! I am also fighting off a sinus infection & my throat feels like razors are stuck in it! You never realize how much you love medicine until you can't take any!
We spilled the beans to my parents (bad reaction), grandparents (great reaction!!) & our closest friends this past weekend! It is slowly starting to feel more real! We couldn't get away with not telling our friends since I had to run to the bathroom 6 (!!!) times during the wedding/reception this weekend. It was rough! Can't complain though because it makes me feel better that things are progressing in there like they should!
One more week until our first Dr. appt! I can't wait!!!!
Me: As of last week, I am feeling much better! I dont have the all day horrible nausea, so I am grateful for that. I do have some food aversions still, so I take that as a sign.
Even though our goal was to wait until we heard a HB to tell our aunts/uncles, the news is already spreading. We told our parents right away, and then told our grandparents a few weeks ago. Somehow, on DH's side, news spread to some of the aunts and uncles and there was all this drama b/c "so and so knew" and they didnt, or finger pointing on who told them. It was retarded. So, to avoid that nonsense, we went ahead and spilled the beans!
I am beyond frustrated that it seems as if I am the only one around here who hasnt heard/seen a heartbeat, or hasnt had an u/s. I will be lucky to hear a heartbeat at my next appt (11w2d) and wont get an u/s until 18-20 weeks. But hey, there isnt anything I can do about it! I am thankful that there hasnt been any reason for me to get an extra u/s (spotting, etc), so I am trying to look on the bright side. :-)

Things are going great! Just a little tired, but I can handle that! We have our first appointment on Friday and I just can't wait!
Im holding on to the fact that the 2nd tri is just around the corner! I really wish the m/s would go away but I think Im finally getting used to it. The news is slowly leaking onto facebook so its only a matter of time until everyone knows!
I cant wait for thanksgiving.... my mom is coming to visit and I have an appointment she'll be able to come to as well! Im really glad we will get to share that and hopefully she will feel more included. Its hard for her to feel "involved" b/c she lives about 1500 miles away.
Hope everyone is feeling well!
hello all!
feeling just tired i am normally asleep by 830 each night. I had my 1st official appointment yesterday. I had an appt at 5weeks to get blood and had and u/s at 7w3d and saw the heartbeat. Last night we went over history,had a pap, the dr actually found the heartbeat just for a split second, gave lots of blood, scheduled nt scan, went over billing and got lots of goodies to read. It was fun. This is my second but it was still as exciting as the first. Hope everyone is feeling well!
I'm actually doing pretty well, considering I feel like I've got the 'you name it, I got it' as far as symptoms. Other than sleeping more and having bouts of not feeling well, I think overall, I'm good.
We are going tomorrow to our first OB appointment. We've had u/s and met with a nurse already, but this will be our first time with the doctor. I'm excited.
Hope everyone is doing great!
Missed m/c 11.09 | Missed m/c 3.10 | We miss you & love you so.

I go for my NT scan on Monday and i am soo excited. We have seen and heard the heartbeat. We are looking forward to seeing what is actually starting to look like a baby! I will be about 12wks for that appointment, so i'll probably spill the beans soon after!
Morning June Mommas!
Things are going well even though I'm horribly sick and spend most of the day in the bathroom. We have our first appointment on Monday and we are so excited! We've only spilled the beans to my parents and plan to tell DH's parents next weekend (post appointment). We're waiting until the second tri to tell everyone else.
I hope you ladies have a great week and good luck to those with upcoming appointments!
My BFP Chart
I had my first appt on Monday. They did an u/s and moved my due date from June 20th to the 18th. The u/s tech said that the baby had a nice strong heart beat (YAY!), but they also found 2 small subchorionic hematoma's. The NP (I didn't see my OB for my first appt), told me that it should be fine since they were small, but I still cannot help but worry. She put me on some restrictions until the end of the first tri (no heavy lifting, exercise, or sex). I go back in 2 weeks.
We told our parents when I was 6.5 or 7 weeks. They are very excited for us! We have asked them not to spill the beans to the rest of the family, and I am pleasantly surprised that they have been keeping quiet. I was hoping that we could start to tell everyone else after my appt on Monday, but after finding the 2 SCH's, I am too nervous to tell anyone else yet.
BFP#2 02/18/11 * Beta@15dpo=215 * @18dpo=698 * @20dpo=2337 * @25dpo=10,931 * DS Arrived October 24, 2011
BFP#3 08/12 | D&C 9/12 (no hb)
BFP#4 Due May 1, 2014 Stick baby stick!
You're not the only one. I'm hoping to hear the h/b at my next appointment (12 wks), but we do have a u/s scheduled for 12 wks.
My BFP Chart
Good morning, everyone!
We met with the NP yesterday, and I got a rx for Zofran - can't wait to get it filled tonight after work!
Tomorrow is our first u/s...I am nervous and excited.
After dreaming about being pregnant and having a baby for so long, I am surprised at myself for not being more excited. I think it will change tomorrow once we see the baby and everything starts to sink in.
Besides being absolutely exhausted, I'm doing great. So glad I joined these boards last week. I have my first U/S on Monday and can't wait. We told DH's parents and siblings. Plan on telling mine on Thanksgiving.
I'm feeling a lot better than I did with my 1st pregnancy. I am still experiancing m/s but it is completely manageable at this point, it seemed to turn for me about about 9 weeks. I'm exhausted but I'm lucky to be a SAHM so if I need to lay on the floor while DS is playing I can. My biggest irritation is that I am always so hungry but this kid can't make up it's mind. Nothing sounds good and then when I find something I want I can literally be half way through it and it's like the taste changes and I can't eat it anymore. So weird but baby is doing well and we've told the family and friends now.
Whew sorry, long response! How are you feeling?
Hi June Mommas!
I am doing well. I seem to be feeling much better the last few days. I am excited to maybe start showing soon!
We already had our frist and 2nd appt. Both went well and we were able to see the little bean wiggle. It was awesome.
We spilled the beans already- on Halloween. Everyone is so excited- which I was nervous that they would not be- this is baby 4.
good morning everyone! things are going ok here -- i had some horrible nausea to the point i wasnt able to eat much at all -- even crackers made me feel worse so I am now on Zofran.. WOW what a drug! I def. feel better
We saw the HB last wednesday, everything is looking good - we also told everyone that we are expecting - of course everyone was excited!
I'm ready to be out of the first trimester though - it seems to be going at a snails pace!!
Morning June Mommas!
I'm doing well too! ?Thoroughly exhausted still. ?Last night I came home and was so tired I just started crying. ?
?We have our second appt. on Friday, and hoping to hear the heartbeat. ?I really can't wait because I want to start getting really excited about having a baby. ?I've been trying to stay calm about it till I know everything is safe, or at least safer, and hearing the heartbeat will just make it so much easier!
Glad to see we're all doing so well! ??
Today I am totally exhausted and have a tummy ache, no nausea right now though I think I took care of that when I woke up at about 4am and hugged the toilet for a few
It seems like one day I feel pretty good then the next I feel like crap. I had my first u/s last Thursday and everything looked good so I did let my bosses know, I figured even if something did go wrong they would need to know anyway. Our families and good friends know, but we haven't told everyone yet.
Well, we got to see the baby at out u/s appt on monday and sprout is measuring 2 days behind my estimate. No big deal there. He said there are a number of things that could have caused my low 2nd HCG level. They can't even guess but things look good now. I go back in 2 weeks for a 2nd u/s before I am released to my OB.
I am exhausted....I sit through work all day fighting to stay awake. Last night was the first night I didn't wake up 4 times to pee. I slept from 9pm to 5am uninterupted. It was wonderful. DH comes home tonight and I'll have to share my bed again. I've found I have much less nausea when I have protein in the morning. this morning I had ham and cheese sandwich (previously baked) and reaheated. it was good and I haven't had the nausea. Heartburn is still there though.
Too many people know about the baby already. DH can't keep his mouth shut.
Good morning June Mommas!
I am doing well. M/s has subsided for the most part. Just tired a lot more than usual. I think I may have a sinus infection but I am using my saline nose spray.
I am not looking forward to going to the dentist today, but I know I have put it off long enough...blah!
Hi June Mommies!
I'm suuuuper sick with M/S. I didn't get sick at all with DS so this is all rather unexpected. It lasts all day and is at it's worst around mid-morning and dinner-time. I hate throwing up! I'm feeling some nerves not so much about the pregnancy but about my ability to be a mom to TWO kids! I have a very precocious nearly three year old and feel like a total failure sometimes at battling the terrible toddlerhood. Oh, well...things are happening the way they are supposed to and at the end of the day I am so excited to have another baby!
Hi Everyone!
All is well here. We had our first appt on Oct 28th and everything looked good. We got to see our little peanut and hear the heartbeat. For the most part I have been feeling good. I have noticed that I am tired by the time I get home from work and my tastes have changed. Luckily, I have not been sick that much. Our second appt is on Nov 25th, we are very excited!
Hope everyone starts to feel better soon!
Hi June mommies!!! I am glad I found the June Mommy's thread. I have had m/s somewhat be gone for the last 1 1/2, and just hope it does not come back. My NT scan is scheduled for next week, and really I have to say I am excited to see what my little one will look like at 12w.
By the way I got a nasty cold since yesterday, and was miserable most of the night. I am just hoping it goes away in about a day or so.
I've been telling people slowly but surely! We wont make a formal announcement until 13 or 14 weeks.
I'm exhausted. I could be in bed by 8 every night.
We had our second u/s on Saturday and it was amazing. The doctor switched the 4D on and made a cd, so we were able to send the video to our family! I think I've watched it a thousand times over the past couple days.
I haven't had any m/s just have been really tired but it has started to get better.
Hello Everybody!
I guess this my first post with June momma's, I found out we were expecting late in the game. So far so good though, I havent had ANY morning sickness so I'm super thankful for that. I went to my first appointment to fill out paperwork and boring labs, but didnt get to hear a heartbeat or anything. They said that my second check up they'll try to find it. That's not even until week 11!!! I feel like its FOREVER away. Other than that, my symptoms are pretty manageable, tired all the time, mood swings, oh and smells! OH WOW. I never thought but I smell everything!!
Glad to read everyone else seems to be having a nice pregnancy also! :]
I've had a few blurbs of m/s this week...yesterday it came on so fast I actually threw up a little in my mouth while driving...awesome. I'm still exhausted, I slept 12 hours last night. Craving root beer like crazy, but otherwise my appetites been really weird...nothing is sounding good, and when I do find something I feel like eating, I'm full after a few bites. It took me 40 minutes to finish a bowl of oatmeal this morning.
Got some unsolicited advice from my crazy SIL this weekend...major criticism of my choice of a turkey sandwich for lunch. People who don't have kids, or who have never been pregnant, should not be allowed to put their 2 cents in. I know it's not something I should make a regular habit of, but it's not like I'm saddliing up to the sushi bar doing shots of tequila. It's a turkey sandwich, it's the first time I've had deli meat since finding out I was pregnant, and it's something that finally appealed to me.
I have my first appt next week, and I can. not. WAIT. The closer we get, the more nervous I get. I will breathe such a huge sigh of relief once I hear that heartbeat - if I hear it. I'll only be 8 weeks at that point, so I know there's a possibility we won't be able to hear it by doppler. I talked to a friend who used the same OB practice, and she said if they don't hear anything by doppler, they'll either do an u/s that day, or have me wait a week and come back. I'm thinking since I'll only be 8 weeks, they'll make me wait and come back, so I'll need some t&p that we're able to pick up a heartbeat next week...I don't think I can wait much longer!
