    I always wanted 2. A boy and a girl in that order lol! We actually got rid of everything after #2 because we were so done. Had to rebuy for #3. Was done at 3 then got KU with #4 9mos after he was born. Was so incredibly done once again. But here I am pregnant with #5 so..

    Baby is the size of a(n): orange

    Team (Green, Blue, Pink, Finding out): Finding out

    Upcoming Appointments: 2/4

    How are you feeling?: Mostly better. Still tired.

    Rants/Raves: I have been looking into child care this week and it is soooooo frustrating. I just want to have something pinned down and be done with it.

    Questions: 

    GTKY:  Have you always wanted children? If so how many? Did you change your mind at all along the way? Do you think you will end up with the number you wanted or more/less? I wasn't sure for a long time, and DH didn't want any. But as I got older I decided I wanted to try, and he was on board. We only plan to have this one :smile:

    Baby is the size of a(n): can of Spam, apparently

    Team (Green, Blue, Pink, Finding out): Green.

    Upcoming Appointments: 2/13 for OB and maybe the prelim anatomy scan? It's at my normal OB, not MFM, so I'm not 100% sure.

    How are you feeling?: Still way more awful than I was hoping. Cried last night because I'm sick of just feeling exhausted, but not the kind of exhausted that sleep would help, just whole body wiped. Also still puking every few days. It beats daily, but it's still no fun.

    Rants/Raves:  1. I just want to feel better. I have so much to do before LO gets here, even just in setting up a nursery and moving stuff around, and I just don't have the energy. 2. I'd also like to start looking pregnant, just not oddly extra fat. I was a size 14-16 pre-KU, so that's probably not helping. At the same time it helps, since we haven't gone fully public yet. So I guess that one's a mix?

    Questions: 

    GTKY:  Have you always wanted children? If so how many? Did you change your mind at all along the way? Do you think you will end up with the number you wanted or more/less? I always wanted kids, although I wavered once or twice. I really wanted twins, but DH didn't, so he's happy. Not sure how many we'll end up with...

    Team (Green, Blue, Pink, Finding out): pink!!! 

    Upcoming Appointments: 2/15 

    How are you feeling?: I’m extremely jet lagged right now but other than that I’m feeling much better. 

    Rants/Raves:  gotta brag on my husband a bit! I went to Washington to visit a friend and DH was home with the boys. I came home to clean toilets, a spotless living room, cleaned kitchen & dishes done... oh and he took the Christmas tree down (finally!) 

    Questions: none. 

    GTKY:  Have you always wanted children? If so how many? Did you change your mind at all along the way? Do you think you will end up with the number you wanted or more/less? I have always wanted kids. 3 always sounded like a good amount and I’m on my 3rd. Husband is getting snipped after this. Lol

    Upcoming Appointments: 16 week check up this morning with an early GTT. Go back end of February for 20 week anatomy scan! 

    How are you feeling?: 

    Rants/Raves:  enjoying the energy, hoping to get a bunch of stuff checked off of our to do list in the next couple of months! 

    Questions: nope

    GTKY:  Have you always wanted children? If so how many? Did you change your mind at all along the way? Do you think you will end up with the number you wanted or more/less?

    I always wanted kids! For a while I thought I wanted 4. DH and I always said 2 for sure and we would see after that. We talked about being done after our second, but here we are with #3. This will be our last for sure, and we both feel good about that choice for our family.

    Upcoming Appointments: Prenatal check up 2/18, anatomy scan on a day yet to he decided the following week.

    How are you feeling?: Tired. Tired. Tired. And f@$& sciatic pain!

    Rants/Raves:  I got hit with sciatic pain last week. It's really interfering with my workouts as I have been unable to find reprieve. 

    Questions: 

    GTKY:  Have you always wanted children? If so how many? Did you change your mind at all along the way? Do you think you will end up with the number you wanted or more/less?

    I always envisioned myself as a mother, but it took DH and I a long time to be ready for kids. When we started trying, we went 2 years with no success. After some preliminary tests, we discovered fertility issues with both of us and assumed it wasn't in the cards for us. Just as we were accepting and looking for a childfree life, we got our BFP. Definitely took some time to switch gears yet again and believe that this isn't too good to be true. As far as how many, we'll probably only have just one.

    Baby is the size of a(n): Jar of Nutella

    Team (Green, Blue, Pink, Finding out): Pink

    Upcoming Appointments: Check up with my doctor on Wednesday and then anatomy scan on 2/19

    How are you feeling?: SO much better. I'm knocking wood, but my nausea has completely faded and I'm feeling a lot closer to my normal self. I have noticed that I'm way slower moving these days though, with everything from eating dinner to doing laundry. Not sure if it's anything physical or if it's just taking more mental energy now.

    Rants/Raves:  I'm feeling a little overwhelmed by the amount of stuff that needs to get done before this baby comes especially since I've had people recommend that I pack as much of it into the 2nd Trimester as I can before I start feeling worse again.

    Questions: 

    GTKY:  Have you always wanted children? If so how many? Did you change your mind at all along the way? Do you think you will end up with the number you wanted or more/less?

    Yes. I went through a phase earlier this year when we were having trouble TTC when I tried to convince myself that the extra freedom/money that would come from not having kids would be awesome, but I wasn't very successful with that. I'm a FTM and I've always wanted 2 or 3 but we'll probably end up with 2 since that's what my husband wants and kids are SO expensive. Plus we have no idea if we'll run into fertility issues again with #2.
  • Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: They’ve changed it several times but I’m sticking with the original of July 9th | so I’m 16 weeks and 5 days.

    Upcoming Appointments: AS on 2/22, my birthday, what a great gift!! 

    How are you feeling?: better but still crappy and sloth-like 

    Rants/Raves: I’m a baby about the cold. We’ve been homebodies for a while now and it’s starting to get to me. Bring on the spring weather ASAP. 

    Questions: 

    GTKY:  Have you always wanted children? If so how many? Did you change your mind at all along the way? Do you think you will end up with the number you wanted or more/less?
    I’ve always envisioned myself having children but a little later in life, not quite as early as it’s happened. DH and I talked about 3, but after being so sick with both pregnancies, I think we are calling it quits after #2. I might feel differently once the mothers amnesia sets in, but there are some financial reasons that would hold us back as well. We want to give 2 kids a full life.

  • @msimi I know so many people who say the second trimester is when you should get the majority of stuff done, but I always found I had pretty good energy until about 32/34 weeks. Definitely moved a bit slower, but I still feel like I was able to get a lot done in the third trimester.

    Baby is the size of a(n): chipmunk!

    Team (Green, Blue, Pink, Finding out): finding out 2/12 - though we've started telling people that we're not finding out b/c we want to keep it a secret

    Upcoming Appointments: 2/12 - monthly appt & anatomy scan

    How are you feeling?: Pretty good

    Rants/Raves:  I made a new dinner the other night and it's terrible. But I made a ton of it and I refuse to waste food, so we're eating leftovers tonight and for lunches. I'm mad at myself b/c it's so gross 

    Questions: 

    GTKY:  Have you always wanted children? If so how many? Did you change your mind at all along the way? Do you think you will end up with the number you wanted or more/less? - I've always wanted children and growing up I thought I wanted 3. My husband originally only wanted 1. We compromised on 2 and I'm really happy with that decision. I think we'll stick to it. 
  • @rachel89616 I'm the same! Having our third and I don't have anything done yet, but totally not stressing. Since I already have most of what I need anyway. Once we find out what we're having I'll get some clothes and things. I also want a new diaper bag and breast pump for this one.
  • @kingdommom I want a new diaper bag this time around as well! After 3 years mine has a level of gunk that just doesnt come out 😂 I ordered a new pump (spectra) last baby and it beats my other one (medela) hands down!

    @rachel89616 we won't do anything for a while. I feel like once you've been through it you realize more what's actually needed and what's not and that you have plenty of time to get it. Plus if you saved stuff from previous pregnancies you probably don't have much to get anyways.

    When i was single I said no kids. When I meet dh we decided on 2. This lo makes 2, but not sure if  we will stick to it. 
  • @rachel89616 I do feel bad because my Mom made my diaper bag! But it's getting a little worn out and I really want a backpack one.
