1.  What is your EDD/how far along are you? 5/17, 23+4, come on V-day!

2.  How have you been feeling this week?  I've had a cold for over two weeks now, I can't tell if it is still lingering or if I'm following cold#1 with cold#2. 

3.  Any big appointments or milestones?  Next appointment in a couple weeks, the 10th maybe?, time for the 1 hour.

4.  Highlights or struggles of the week?  I've been horrible about taking my prenatals so I bought some yummy looking gummies.  Well, unfortunately there is a price to pay for that DHA, because they may look like fruity candy, but they taste like tuna.

5.  QOTW: What are you looking forward to most about adding another LO to your family?  Any big concerns?  I'm looking forward to having a little baby to snuggle with again.  DS is a man of action these days and he is just too busy to hang out on my lap very often.  I am very very concerned with our lack of space.  I really hope we find a house sometime soon.

Yay!!!  Love that this growing so much!

1.  What is your EDD/how far along are you?  9/22.  I'm 5w2d.

2.  How have you been feeling this week?  Good!  Still no symptoms other than a missing period.

3.  Any big appointments or milestones?  Nothing until 2/14.  So.far.away.

4.  Highlights or struggles of the week?  Started working out again and can still stomach my coffee, so those are both good things. 

5.  QOTW: What are you looking forward to most about adding another LO to your family?  Any big concerns?  I'm freaking out!  LOL.  I'm super nervous to lose our man to man defense.  DS1 is a handful and I'm nervous that he will be very upset about getting another sibling.  I'm sad that DS2 won't be my baby anymore.  I really hope he continues to be a mama's boy.  I've got financial concerns.  I'm just all around nervous and huge ball of mixed emotions.  All that said, I'm excited to be growing our family and know that it will all work itself out eventually.

1.  What is your EDD/how far along are you? My EDD is September 14th and I'm about 6wks 3 days today

2.  How have you been feeling this week?  Honestly?  Awful....The past 4-5 days the nausea has been ALL day and nothing is helping and I'm completely exhausted.  I was not this sick with DS and I'm really hoping it eases up soon because I feel like I'm being a crappy mom.  TV is on a lot more then usual and sometimes I just lay down next to DS while he plays

3.  Any big appointments or milestones?  We had our viability u/s Monday and saw a very strong heart beat and a healthy little peanut!

4.  Highlights or struggles of the week?  Definitely morning sickness has been my struggle but the highlight was seeing a heart beat!

5.  QOTW: What are you looking forward to most about adding another LO to your family?  Any big concerns?

I absolutely love that B and his sibling will be almost exactly 2yrs apart.  I think it is a great age difference and I'm looking forward to them being close.  I'm nervous though about taking care of 2 LO's and dividing my time evenly.  I have such a wonderful and close relationship with B and I really worry about that changing.

Good luck @esd !!! You are sooooo close!!!

Good luck @esd!! So exciting!!
I love seeing all these check ins!
1. 9/24/14 going by by O date of 1/1/14. 5 weeks today.
2. On and off nausea, breast tenderness and tired. I like feeling something just to ease my PGAL mind!
3. U/s on Monday as well as @annarussell05! Fingers crossed for great updates from us both on monday! My first appt is Feb 12.
4. Work stress- previous post about my boss being a jerk!
5. I'm praying that we give DD a sibling in 9 months because I am an only child and can't wait for her to have this experience that I never got! DH has a younger brother (4 yrs apart) so he can relate with DD being an older sibling but him and his brother aren't that close due to age and they are so different but it's still nice to have a sibling regardless!
Hope everyone has a great rest of the week!

1.  What is your EDD/how far along are you? May 28th, 22 weeks, 1 day today.

2.  How have you been feeling this week? Feeling pretty good!

3.  Any big appointments or milestones? Just had my fetal echo yesterday that went absolutely perfect and I couldn't be happier!

4.  Highlights or struggles of the week? Highlight was definitely my MFM appt yesterday - hearing that baby boy is doing very well, perfectly healthy, and getting to see him again just in general was really nice.

5.  QOTW: What are you looking forward to most about adding another LO to your family?  Any big concerns? I am a mixed bag of emotions lately. I can't WAIT to have another baby and to expand our family. I am really looking forward to that newborn stage again and I'm happy b/c my maternity leave falls over the summer and DH will be home with me the whole time (he's a teacher). I think most of my concerns are centered around how DS will react and hoping he won't regress in anything, and just getting by financially with having 2 in daycare.

@ksyknelvr73 So happy to hear that!!!!!

1.  What is your EDD/how far along are you?

May 6.  25 some weeks

2.  How have you been feeling this week?

Overall pretty well.  Starting to feel bigger.  Can't bend over as easily as before and finding myself getting tired easier.  Still dealing with some after effects of my cold.  Overall it's gone, but I'm still on amoxicillin for the ear infections and my left ear still feels like it's under water.  Annoying. 

3.  Any big appointments or milestones?

Nothing this week.  I'm coming up on Double Digits (99 days) though.
4.  Highlights or struggles of the week?

Highlights would be feeling her move outside more.  Struggles...only pregnancy related one is that I think I saw the start of a stretch mark this week.  I didn't get any with DS, so this made me sad.
5.  QOTW: What are you looking forward to most about adding another LO to your family?  Any big concerns?

I'm looking forward to squish snuggles again.  Looking forward to nursing again.  Looking forward to seeing DS with his Little Sister.  LOTS of big concerns.  First and foremost is if she, too, will have autism (DS was officially dx'd last week).  I'm concerned about all the change he'll be experiencing around the time she arrives (mommy goes away to the hospital, daddy comes home from deployment, and grandparents will be visiting...all within a couple weeks time...at most).  He does great with change, so he probably will surprise me, but I'm nervous about the portion i can't be home with him for...I'm usually the continuity for him.

@junebug060609. I'm jealous of your no stretch marks!! I have road maps!!! Dozens of them!! Yikes. Also I'm sorry to hear about DSs diagnosis.. (((Hugs)))

1. What is your EDD/how far along are you? 9/22/14, 6 weeks exactly.

2. How have you been feeling this week? Great. Sore breasts/nipples, when I'm hungry - I'm crazy hungry, tired at night, dry eyes and sneezed like crazy the first couple weeks, otherwise not much to speak of which makes me nervous...of course.

3. Any big appointments or milestones? First appt is not until 2/17.

4. Highlights or struggles of the week? If we make it until Thursday, I pass both my losses. I want a ute cam! I worry that nothing is happening in there. I wish I had more RL pains. I'll hopefully regret that wish.

5. QOTW: What are you looking forward to most about adding another LO to your family? Any big concerns? I'm looking forward to holding another new beautiful baby in my arms and seeing my DS's with the new baby. I'm a little concerned about managing 3 kids - the normal getting out the door, running errands, daycare concerns, etc.
