1. How far along are you?

20 weeks today!! Half baked

2. When is your due date?

12/16/14

3. How are you feeling?

In disbelief that I'm already at the half way point

4. Any appointments or updates?

Next appt isn't until Aug 5th, have to talk to her about my cervix, it shortened from 3.9 to 3.2 in 2 1/2 weeks

5. What are you planning to buy for the new LO?

Clothes and newborn size cloth diapers. Also debating a double stroller, still not sure about it though. Other than that we don't need anything else until he is in the same room as his brother.

1. How far along are you? 

19w5d (thanks, ticker!)

2. When is your due date? 

12/18

3. How are you feeling? 

I'm feeling pretty okay. Exhausted because Benjamin keeps waking up at random, but otherwise pretty fine. I'm feeling pretty regular movement and DH felt it for the first time last night (he's been OOT), so now it's starting to feel like a real thing.

4. Any appointments or updates? 

A/S on Thursday! Team Find Out!

5. What are you planning to buy for the new LO?

We bought a new convertible crib. The kids are going to be in the same room until at least one of them is potty trained. If this one is also a boy then they'll probably share for a long time after that. We have a spare room, and even have a Jack and Jill bathroom between them, but I'm not ready to give up our personal TV/Computer room. I'm also planning to get a tandem stroller (this one, specifically) but waiting for some sort of discount on baby stuff through Amazon. Aside from that, we don't need much - new nipples for bottles, which I haven't replaced in way too long, winter baby clothes, and I can't think of anything else at the moment.

1. I am 25 weeks, 3 days along.

2. I am due November 8th.

3. I'm feeling ok. I have really low blood pressure apparently, so I've been very dizzy and lightheaded.

4. I had just a normal prenatal last Tuesday. It's where I found out I have low blood pressure. Baby is good with a heart beat of 148.

5. I've made all my lists, and I still have lots to get for this baby. I got a Graco double stroller that converts to everything. But I now need to buy a new carseat because if it. This time around I'm getting an SNS for breastfeeding and a snuza hero. Those are my main concerns

@Jo581011‌ that's a nice stroller the one I got from Graco is very similar but it has a sit and stand option for when N is ready for it. If that brand makes one, it's worth checking out. Our 1 year olds aren't going to want to be in a stroller for much longer but long enough to need the 2 stroller seat options.

@Jo581011‌ that is a kick ass stroller!!!

I tried it out at Babies R Us (I had never been to one before last week!) and loved it. It's super easy to move the seats around. I foresee them wanting to face each other and play, and then being annoying, or facing the same direction and Benjamin kicking the baby's chair, so I like the option of moving them to face the opposite direction at a moment's notice. 

I initially looked at the Baby Jogger City Select, but this one is mostly the same. It doesn't have the bassinet option and is ~$400 cheaper...

1. How far along are you? 27 weeks - 3rd trimester!!!

2. When is your due date? 10/26

3. How are you feeling? So much better.  My ribs are starting to heal so I can sleep better at night... for now.

4. Any appointments or updates? Had my perinatal appt last week and baby's kidneys are still enlarged, but not any worse than they were 6 weeks before so that's a good sign.  I see her again in 6 weeks for another ultrasound.  I have my glucose test tomorrow which is super exciting.

5. What are you planning to buy for the new LO?  I've been picking stuff up since we found out we were expecting... so we have the double stroller, 2nd crib, etc.  Next thing LO is getting will be carpet for her room, then I get to start shopping for clothes since this babe will be a different sex and born in a different season.

My OB didn't do a dating ultrasound, so we had to wait until the NT scan at 12 weeks! I was so nervous there would be 2. No history of twins in either family (as far as we know. MIL was adopted), but I was still super nervous about having an 18 month old and newborn twins!

bumpuser7846882

I'm prepared for it to be crazy hard in the beginning, but I have a lot of support. We share a house with my ILs, and they're great with Benjamin so he'll still be getting a lot of attention.

Suggestions on questions:

LimaBeanMOM said:

How do you ladies feel about 2 under 2? We are all doing it. I am really nervous about juggling everybody and everything. 5 months from today -eek.

Im scared out of my mind. I have no idea how I'm going to do this. I predict I will be very sleep deprived. My kids are all spaced out. I was always able to sleep when the baby slept. Owen only naps once or twice a day now, and I still have 6 months, so that very well could change.
I'm nervous how he'll deal with a new baby. I can't even touch another baby without him throwing a fit. I've never ever had to deal with this, so it's all new to me.
I think of grocery shopping and how I'm going to juggle that with 2 kids in tow.
My husband will Def. Need to step up his game I think, or I'll have a break down.

I'm scared out of my mind! With M I was able to just lay around and let her sleep on me all day for the first few weeks. Now I will have a 1.5 year old to tend to when we come home... this LO will not be near as rested!

Thank you! This is how I feel. I have no idea how B will react and he is needy and will still need me and my attention and the newborn will too.

I feel the same way. I'm super excited for this baby but I'm scared to death about what it means for N. She's going to be so young and I don't feel like it's fair to her.

bumpuser7846882

Something I find somewhat comforting is that he won't remember ever being an only child.

MorganWP

1. How far along are you?
29 weeks!

2. When is your due date?
Oct 13th

3. How are you feeling?
Crampy. The Braxton Hicks are hitting hard this time around. The other day I actually thought I might be in labour.

4. Any appointments or updates?
Uhm... nope. Next friday is my next checkup.

5. What are you planning to buy for the new LO?
We still need a carseat and stroller. We know which ones we want but just havent gone to get them. Im starting to think that SO will have to go to the store while Im in the hospital. We also still need some more clothes.

1. How far along are you? Between 4-6 weeks...I'm pretty sure closer to 4

2. When is your due date? I'm guessing April 8th

3. How are you feeling? It's starting to sink in and now I'm super excited and maybe slightly terrified to have 2 kids LOL

4. Any appointments or updates? My first appt will be Sept 2. I'm guessing they'll order a dating U/S soon after

5. What are you planning to buy for the new LO? I told DH there's only 2 things I want for this baby...a co-sleeper and a rock n play.

Congrats @natalie115‌ !!

Little late to the party this week- H was OOT- so I have barely had time to breath, let alone do anything other than lurk!

1. How far along are you? 31 weeks
2. When is your due date? 10/3
3. How are you feeling? Fine mostly. I am getting a strange jabbing pain in my lower back, that I don't love. And the acid reflux--- oh God!
4. Any appointments or updates? Appointment on Monday was pretty boring. But now I am every two weeks- so that is exciting!
5. What are you planning to buy for the new LO? We bought a new crib already- still in the box! I need to get a new crib mattress as well. I'm debating on a double stroller, though I will probably cave eventually. And we are team green- so girl clothes if this ends up being a girl.
