kmornelas29

1) How many weeks? 18 

2) How big is baby? Artichoke 

3) How are you feeling? Okay. Have some kind of virus so I'm resting away while my DH and mom watch our little one. Luckily, I'm on summer break! 

4) Any appointments this week? None.

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm looking forward to all the vacations this summer! It will make pregnancy go fast! We have our calendars marked off for our beach house for a week, my parents summer place in Scotland, a river trip, and a cruise! I love traveling, and this may be the last chance for a while! 

6) GTKY: what are you most excited for and nervous about after babies arrival? 

Im most excited to see my kids together and hold a brand new baby again, but I'm most nervous about balancing time and lack of sleep. Man! That was hard the first time, and now I'll have a little one on top of it. Also, post partum. Never in a million years did I think I'd get it, but I did and it hit hard. They say if you have it once that you're more likely to again. Just preparing myself!

Thank you haha  

1) How many weeks? 19! Can't believe we are almost to the halfway mark! 

2) How big is baby? Babysizer says the size of a Hotdog lol.

3) How are you feeling? Pretty good, minus the heartburn.

4) Any appointments this week? Anatomy scan on MONDAY! I've never been so ready for a weekend to be over in my life. 

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? See number 4 so excited to find out if baby is a boy or girl. 

6) GTKY: what are you most excited for and most nervous about after babies arrival? I'm really excited to see what this baby looks like. DH is Hispanic and I'm Caucasian, I always thought our kids would have brown/black hair and brown eyes with a darker complexion like DH. DD shocked us all lol, she looked exactly like her daddy when she was born, except she has blonde hair and blue eyes (still at 3 1/2). I'm also excited to see DD with baby. She is so excited to be a big sister.

 I think I'm most nervous about nursing again. DD made it so easy for me. She had a bit of a shallow latch at first, but once we got going it was the best breastfeeding journey I could have hoped for. I just hope this baby takes to it just the same and we don't have any issues. Oh, and I also dread losing sleep haha. I've gotten used to sleeping in again just in time for baby. It will be worth it though.

@ksf13 omg! Same! I'm Caucasian and my husband is Egyptian! Our daughter has light skin like me, light brown hair like me, and green eyes like me! Lol genes are crazy! I feel you on just getting sleep back! My DD is 4, so not only have I had sleep back, but I've also been diaper free for 3 years, and I have gained some major independence. Like you said, worth it!

1) How many weeks? 19

2) How big is baby? mango

3) How are you feeling? I am so much bigger so much faster this time! I am occasionally frustrated that I can't easily take a deep breath. Otherwise I am doing pretty well!

4) Any appointments this week? not until the end of May

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? Any advice on not eating everything in sight???! Jk I am probably not going to stop haha.

6) GTKY: what are you most excited for and most nervous about after babies arrival? I am super excited to have a boy (already have a girl) but I am definitely nervous about the intensity of caring for a newborn while also caring for a toddler! At least the toddler is a good sleeper, so I will only be up all night with one of them haha.

Nope, not until 5/23 anatomy scan
5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Feeling flutters a lot which is so awesome! 
6) GTKY: what are you most excited for and most nervous about after babies arrival? 
I am really nervous about having two. DS will be 3.5 when this baby boy is born, which is a nice age gap. It still makes me nervous. Plus balancing my job, being a wife, etc. Yikes.

@kmornelas29 So funny! Genes really are crazy. Basically none of his "dominant traits" came through with DD. We will have been out of diapers for 2 years by the time baby gets here too (she potty trained right when she turned 2). She also starts PreK in the Fall, so we are just basically starting over haha. I'm excited for the baby stage again though, even if it means losing sleep  

@ssmama34217 Agh, if you find a way let me know haha. I wasn't really doing bad and hadn't gained any weight between my last two appointments, so I took that as permission to snack a whole lot more. I'm a little worried as to how much I've gained this month lol.
