2nd+ Time Moms (10/26)

1. What # child will this be for you? Baby #2
2. How are you doing - keeping up with the other child/children? Getting more difficult.  It's like he knows his time as an only child has an expiry date so he's been super clingy the last few days coinciding perfectly with exhaustion hitting.
3. Anything majorly different this pregnancy so far? So far I have zero physical symptoms, last time I had sore breasts.
4. GTKY - What kid show/movie are you subjected to that you absolutely can't stand (or maybe the repetition has made you cringe at)?  Gifs/memes of offending show welcome. 

It's this awful show on baby tv called hungry Henry.  Basically a weird Mexican cat goes to a restaurant and whatever it is he wants they are out of.  He then goes off in search of the ingredients.  Seriously dude, pick a different restaurant, this one clearly has issues.

1) #2 DS I spent almost 2.5yrs
2) So far it's been good. I'm a SAHM and my son doesn't nap regularly (only in the car most days) I get sooooo tired at 2pm, that it's hard to stay awake and interact with him!
3) so far, this exhaustion and super sore boobs. I don't remember being tired until later on last time. 
4) I don't mind the shows he watches but I don't putbon things I hate. However, all he wants to watch is Mickey's Monster Musical with all the Halloween monsters! We watch it 3+ times a day

The only way I can shower recently is if baby girl is plopped in front of a show in her crib. And it HAS to be Mother Goose Club. I accidentally put on Barney the other day and she had a full on meltdown including hair pulling.

My BFF introduced my girls to Blue's Clues. I could kill her. The songs are the worst.

1. What # child will this be for you? Babe 2 
2. How are you doing - keeping up with the other child/children? I want to lay on the couch 24/7 and allow DS to rule the castle. So far, I'm pushing through and resting when he naps. 
3. Anything majorly different this pregnancy so far? More nausea and puking this round. Actually less tired than DS pregnancy and my skin looks bomb this time around too. 
4. GTKY - What kid show/movie are you subjected to that you absolutely can't stand (or maybe the repetition has made you cringe at)?  Gifs/memes of offending show welcome.   I honestly cannot stand paw patrol. And DS loves dogs. We watch minimal TV so it's not a huge issue.

1. this is baby #4.
2. Keeping up with the other children? I am exhausted.. ALL.THE.TIME! I have a 5 year old kindergartner who has at least an hour of homework each night, a bossy/sassy 3 year old, and a 1 year old who is constantly emptying cupboards, drawers and trying to dive down the stairs.. 
3. I think this is the furthest I've gone in a pregnancy without actually puking.. so far.. That's pretty much the only difference.
4. Shimmer and Shine.. ugh..

@ann_jeremiah HW in kinder? Wtf?

1) Baby #2 (biologically, MH and I each have one of our own and this will be our first together)
2)My bouts of exhaustion come and go, and luckily my almost 5 year old goes to bed by 7.  I'm usually not far behind him.  But staying focused and keeping up with work is sometimes difficult.
3)I've been spotting the past week, so we're closely monitoring.  Too soon to do an ultrasound at this point, so we just have to keep monitoring my hcg and I'm on pelvic rest until further notice.
4) If I have to watch "The Fork Awakens" (as my son calls it) one more time, I might lose it.  Before that it was Space Jam 2x a day.  Which I didn't mind nearly as much.

What child will this be for you?
  My second child, my first just turned one and I also have a 10 year old stepson. 
How are you doing keeping up with the other children? 
   Surprisingly not too tired yet though he does seem to be getting heavier and harder to pick up by the day, not sure if it's him growing or the pregnancy starting to get to me. 
Anything majorly different this pregnancy?
   Seems pretty similar although I guess because it's my second I'm already getting a lot more stretching pain in my stomach (round ligament I guess) 
What kid show are you subjected too? 
    We are pretty set on Sprout in the morning routine. I actually like Chica and the hosts lol I think they're funny and I love how much the babe loves them. Calliou on the other hand......

fionalouise007

1. What # child will this be for you? 2
2. How are you doing - keeping up with the other child/children? Fine, just tired and a nauseous. She's really good at the moment though thankfully.
3. Anything majorly different this pregnancy so far? I'm more tired and nauseous this time, and craving different foods.
4. GTKY - What kid show/movie are you subjected to that you absolutely can't stand (or maybe the repetition has made you cringe at)?  Gifs/memes of offending show welcome. Subjected to Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom every day but my husband and I love it so we don't mind too much.

owensmom0807

1. What # child will this be for you? #2
2. How are you doing - keeping up with the other child/children? Fine, just tired and a little nauseous here and there. I am so thankful Owen goes to sleep early. 
3. Anything majorly different this pregnancy so far? Not as nauseous as I was with Owen and way more cramping/ RLP. It comes and goes. I am assuming it's normal since I gave birth 15 months ago?
4. GTKY - What kid show/movie are you subjected to that you absolutely can't stand (or maybe the repetition has made you cringe at)?  Gifs/memes of offending show welcome. Owen isn't really into TV yet but I am about sick of watching Mickey Mouse.

jackiemarie1989-2

1. This is baby #2
2. I'm a very lazy mom right now. The fatigue is more debilitating that the nausea lately. So I am using the TV to help me more than I really like. But, just. So. Tired. 
3. Nope! It is eerily identical to my first. The nausea started at the exact same time and my cravings and aversions are exactly the same. With my first though I didn't have a toddler to chase so I could sleep as much as I wanted on my days off. That was nice, haha. 
4. DS doesn't have a favorite show or movie yet, so there isn't one I'm subjected to all the time. There was that one time we watched Calilou. Once was enough. Once was too much.

Uhhhh this. That is awful. My oldest is in kinder and his homework consists of "read with your child" or sometimes gathering items or info that will be part of hte lesson at school. I'd have a major problem with any real ha in kinder at all and with that amount of hw  in primary grades.

My little man is in kindergarten and he's got homework 3 nights per week. Blows my mind!

1. What # child will this be for you? 2
2. How are you doing - keeping up with the other child/children? pretty exhausted, my son is cutting molars but other than that we're doing good
3. Anything majorly different this pregnancy so far? I'm actually nauseous this pregnancy, very exhausted, and craving sweets this time instead of salty
4. GTKY - What kid show/movie are you subjected to that you absolutely can't stand (or maybe the repetition has made you cringe at)?  Gifs/memes of offending show welcome. I actually don't mind these but we watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Zootopia every day

1. What # child will this be for you? 2
2. How are you doing - keeping up with the other child/children? I just quit my job and my daughter is still in school until the end of this week (we had to give two weeks notice). So I will have a big adjustment next week once I am on toddler duty (she is 10 months).
3. Anything majorly different this pregnancy so far? Yes, other than slight fatigue I am having no real symptoms. With DD I had sore boobs and nausea right away. I am only 6 weeks today so I'm guessing symptoms are still on the way.
4. GTKY - What kid show/movie are you subjected to that you absolutely can't stand (or maybe the repetition has made you cringe at)?  Gifs/memes of offending show welcome. No tv yet. But once DD is home from school that may change.

1. What # child will this be for you? 3
2. How are you doing - keeping up with the other child/children? Pitiful - DH has been a godsend and has really been holding down the fort. Thank goodness for that man. I have no desire or motivation to do anything once I get home from work.
3. Anything majorly different this pregnancy so far? It's like a weird combo of both pregnancies so far.
4. GTKY - What kid show/movie are you subjected to that you absolutely can't stand (or maybe the repetition has made you cringe at)?  Gifs/memes of offending show welcome. It's this Canadian show called Just for Laughs (kids version) which is kind of like the old Candid Camera show but with lame pranks and no talking. It's terrible.

1. What # child will this be for you? 2nd 
2. How are you doing - keeping up with the other child/children? OK. I have been suffering from insomnia so I have been up for the day between 2 and 4 for the day. After a full day of work, I run out of steam some nights. 
3. Anything majorly different this pregnancy so far? Random stomach pain I guess from things stretching. Did not remember that from last time
4. GTKY - What kid show/movie are you subjected to that you absolutely can't stand (or maybe the repetition has made you cringe at)?  Gifs/memes of offending show welcome. Caillou is out in our house
