Re: STM+ Discussion - 7/8

  • EDD/Weeks + Days: 3/15 based on Ovulation 4 weeks 2 days

    Size of baby: poppyseed

    How old is/are your other kid(s)? 2 

    How are you feeling? Mostly fine so pretty anxious and hoping to get some more symptoms soon! 

    Rant/Rave/Questions: Ugh DS needs to sleep! We have an OK to wake clock for him now and he gets it but he either just keeps talking from when he wakes up at 4am to when it turns green at 5:15 or he screams and yells until I’m wide awake and gently remind him we’ll get him when the light turns green. Either way I’m up at 4 (so if you see early posts it’s bc I can’t go back to sleep) 😢🤣

    Rave:Time to start making a list and packing for our vacation! We’re going to a few places in NH! Going to check out story land and Santa’s village with DS and do an awesome hike! I’m so excited. As much as I want symptoms now I’m realizing maybe I should wish they stay away until we get back 🤣. 

    Are you going to do anything different this pregnancy than your previous ones? I didn’t need used to exercise at all and starting in February this year I joined Beachbody on Demand and love it so now I workout almost every day. I’m hoping to keep it up all pregnancy! Also this time I’m chasing a toddler around too so hopefully I can not gain quite so much 😬 

    I am also still nursing my toddler and he’s an addict so I’m kind of hoping for a little time of tandem nursing. I’ve done a lot of reading on it and think there can be a lot of benefits. That being said he’s 2 and will be 3 when baby comes so if he chooses to wean I’m ok with it. DH thinks he should be weaned but I think he’s also starting to see how much emotional benefit he still gets from nursing so he’s laid off the “when are you weaning” lately.

  • @MrsVP614 how long is the car ride? The most we’ve attempted is about 4 hours and we broke it up over lunch and nap! If you can make stops try to make them at places the toddler can run around at. Like a McDonald’s with a play place or a rest stop with a park! Get some new small toys and keep some a surprise for the return trip! I like to sit with DS if it’s not nap time to help get snacks and toys but if it’s nap time I have to sit up front and for the most part ignore him until he falls asleep. Oh an snacks, all the snacks. We throw out our usual rule of 1 fruit snack packet a day for car trips! Good luck I hope you have lots of fun!

  • @varimama Thanks! The car ride is about 10 hours. We may split it up half/half, if needed. DS made it through a 14 hour ride last year, but he was 8 months and less mobile and crabby, and my parents were riding with us to help.

  • @MrsVP614 Good luck on your road trip! I’ve found it works well to have lots of little toys and pull out something new each hour. You can load up at the dollar store or Target dollar spot. Same with snacks, a lot of individual packaged stuff, and some things he’s never had before and will find exciting (cheez itz instead of goldfish, m&ms, ring pop, etc. ).
    For the beach, just some sand toys, and highly recommend a small cooler with ice packs and ice waters, both for your little one and for you. Also don’t forget the trick about baby powder taking sand off toes. My little ones hate sand on them so they also have good closed toe water shoes. Have fun! 
  • @MrsVP614 Also, if you can drive partially at night or nap time, that would be good. My toddlers did okay for a 4 hour road trip awake but could not have gone any longer. Do you have a kids kindle fire or iPad? We have the kindle fire and it’s a lifesaver for car trips both for playing apps and watching movies. I try to save it for last, but once it comes out they can keep it however long they want.

    How old is/are your other kid(s)?
    Two girls, 2 and almost 4 

    How are you feeling?
    Tired and a little weird around food, shifting to lots of small meals and avoiding heavy stuff 

    Rant/Rave/Questions:
    Summer with two toddlers at home is a fantastic time to experience early pregnancy 🤪 said no one ever. 

    Are you going to do anything different this pregnancy than your previous ones?
    I am going to chill. I am a very anxious person and I let myself worry way too much the last two. I am so lucky to have had two relatively easy and healthy pregnancies, and this will likely be my last one, so I want to really stop and enjoy every moment. 

  • @MrsVP614 for the beach I love our pop up tent thing. It’s one of those half tents so open in the front. Last year DS was afraid to walk in the sand so i loved that he just sat in there and played in the sand! I’m guessing this year will be a little crazier 🤣 Besides that I just got some cheap sand toys and some old cars and toys that I don’t care if they get ruined by sand or water.

    How are you feeling? Okay. I’m a pgal mom, and I’m freaking out. More details in the pgal thread, but I’m all over the place today. 

    Rant/Rave/Questions: right now , I just need to know that this bean is good and sticky. 

    Are you going to do anything different this pregnancy than your previous ones? I don’t really know at this point. 

    @varimama have fun in NH. I’ve been to both storyland and Santa’s village as a kid, and loved them. 

    @MrsVP614 we have done up to 10 hours with DS and it was fine. We just made sure to stop frequently. We also drove into bedtime, so he would fall asleep and stay that way.

    Rant/Rave/Questions: When do you plan on telling siblings? I was thinking 13 weeks at the earliest, but maybe more like after the 20 week scan?

    Are you going to do anything different this pregnancy than your previous ones? I have a different doc and hospital because my previous doc left her group. I’ve heard nothing but great things about this new guy. This pregnancy doesn’t feel real yet! I’m trying to be healthier because I did not get to the weight I wanted to pre-pregnancy and actually gained about 5 pounds in our vacation a few weeks ago :(

    I’m horrible about tagging people but agree with all the tips above re: traveling with a toddler. We always travel close to nap time- then lots of books, toys, snacks and I’ll bring her leap pad tablet this time too

    How are you feeling?  Oooooof. Nauseous. Tired. Excited and terrified. 

    Rant/Rave/Questions: Does anyone have suggestions for toddler separation anxiety, particularly at childcare dropoff? DD is having a really hard time, and I left her with both of us in tears today. Poor bean.

    Are you going to do anything different this pregnancy than your previous ones?
    Like @varimama I'm going to try to keep up with exercise. I was recently diagnosed pre-diabetic, but through diet, exercise, and metformin was able to lower my blood sugars to a normal level. Hoping to keep that up and avoid GD.

  • @WorkingOnMyNightCheese what I did for my daughter when she was little, I got her a locket with our pictures to look at and a nap time blanket Witt family pictures. Hope she starts to feel better about it. As a teacher, I can say, it usually gets better once the parent leaves. Don’t feel too bad (hard, I know) she is having fun playing!

  • Does anyone else feel like we should modify this check in? Like change some of the questions/prompts since they're the same as most of the other check ins? 


    EDD/Weeks + Days: 4/13  |   4+4

    Size of baby: super duper small

    How old is/are your other kid(s)? 15 months

    How are you feeling? Pretty good. The bloat and cramping have mostly subsided, but my appetite and eating patterns are changing. Like I'm more hungry in the morning, and then don't want to eat lunch? Weird. No real nausea yet, but I didn't have too much with my last pregnancy, so FX that trend continues. Oh, and insomnia. Super cool. 

    Rant/Rave/Questions: Uuuugh DS is starting to get BIG emotions and it freaks me out. Like I know it's normal, but whenever he freaks out (like when his fruit and veggie packet runs out, or god forbid we give him a bath) I feel like I've failed somehow. Sometimes he freaks out for no known reason and I don't know how to handle it. I'm also feeling ashamed because my patience isn't holding up as well as I would like. I've never snapped at him or anything, but I hate that I get impatient with him when he does normal toddler stuff. 

    Are you going to do anything different this pregnancy than your previous ones? Like everyone else, I'd like to gain a little less weight. And maybe maternity/big brother pictures? I didn't do any last time. I'd also like to see if this labor is different - last time I had horrible back labor and transition-like contractions super early (like crying and puking at 2 cm) because of cervical scar tissue. No shame in my epidural game, but I'm curious if I'll be able to labor without meds a little longer this time.

    How are you feeling? I think I had a slight wave of nausea this morning (grasping at straws), but I feel great.

    Rant/Rave/Questions: Rant: I can’t wait for ten weeks so I can get the bloodwork done! I’m doing a pretty okay job staying calm, but 5 more weeks seems like a lot…

    Are you going to do anything different this pregnancy than your previous ones?
    I love this question despite not having a good answer. I love being pregnant, even when it blows. If all goes well, this will be my last pregnancy, so I am going to cherish it all (after 12 weeks hahaha). Pictures, massages, and give me all the elective ultrasounds! I did all these things with my last two, but I'll REALLY be doing them this time (if FX and all that)

     

    @varimama YES! I want symptoms too, but we really should enjoy the time without them! That’s awesome DS is still BFing.

    @MrsVP614 Bring all the sand buckets and shovels! That;s exciting re: the vacation! Since it’s 10 hours, I think dividing it in half is genius. You could leave during nap time the first day!  I don’t like driving at night, so I start really early, have lots of snacks and toys, and plan on sitting in the back with him some? And as @momoftoddlers said, water shoes for sure since the sand can be hot. I also have a portable fan that I got on Amazon (charged through USB). I love having that on hand at the pool. Also my kids drive to work with me 3 days a week and my commute is an hour each way… they definitely eat. I just give them foods they are used to and obviously keep checking.

    @momoftoddlers Third and last here too and also very anxious… let’s hope we can both be relaxed and enjoy it!

    @littlebug2010 Hugs times 10,000. I’ve been exactly where you are now. I hope you get answers and reassurance.

     @laurenm2123 I’m pretty open with DD. She knows about loss and miscarriages and she looked at my first pink line for me haha. BUT I won’t REALLY tell her until 12 weeks if all is going well… and DS is 18 months and doesn’t GAF, so never? Haha.

    @stassischroeder I’m with you on wanting to go without/longer without meds… but let me warn you (I’m sure you’ll hear this again and again): Labor with my first was 37 hours; DS, my second, was born less than 6 hours after my water broke… I mean… what will this one be? 40 minutes? And yes, totally think the check ins should be different except keep the EDD just for point of reference?

  • @WorkingOnMyNightCheese

    Daniel Tiger (on Amazon) has a great episode about being left at school and with a babysitter and a catchy little tune “Grown ups come back.” Highly recommend. My little one sings it on school mornings and at school to reassure herself. 

    Also, they let her bring her comfort stuffie in her backpack for if she needs it. From everything I’ve heard most kids do not carry on more than a few minutes after you leave so it’s best to say good bye and quickly leave. You can always ask the school to call you if she hasn’t stopped after a certain number of minutes or you can call yourself after a while if you just need the reassurance. I think the whole experience is more traumatic for us mamas than the kiddos, especially preggo. My 2 year old just started drop off camp and she cries when I leave but then is super happy at pick up, and asks every day when she’s going back so I think it’s just getting over that moment of separation. 
  • @laurenm2123 I plan to tell my girls (2, 4) after my 8 week appt and ultrasound. They have both been asking for a baby for months and will be super excited. I wanted them to be the first to know, and I know they’ll immediately tell anyone who will listen (mainly our immediate families) so I’m waiting til after that first scan. I’m planning to wrap a couple little gift boxes, one with pacifiers and one with baby shoes, and “gift” them to the girls to share the surprise. I’m a sap, I know.

  • @momoftoddlers good idea about the daniel tiger song! For whatever reason watching TV makes them believe it so much more than when we say it! Also love your gift idea for your girls!

    @stassischroeder don’t feel bad about being frustrated! It happens!! 15 months is so tough because they know what they want and can’t express it, so it’s very frustrating for both of you. It gets better in so many ways and worse in others  :D DD is 3 now and we can go days without any yelling and all is good and then we’ll have a day where I feel like I’m yelling non stop!

    @emilylove25 i love that you’re open with your kids! I’m just worried my daughter will tell everyoneee she sees! And I’m not ready to have people staring at my way-too-big for 5 weeks pregnant belly hahahah

    How old is/are your other kid(s)?  just under 15 months

    How are you feeling?  tired.  And today I was filled with unexplained anxiety that took a few hours to settle itself back down.  Not anxious about anything in particular, just kind of a feeling of overall doom.  Maybe "doom" is dramatic, but it wasn't great.

    Rant/Rave/Questions:  my rant feels almost identical to @stassischroeder 's.  DD has been a bit of a fusspot lately and now instead of just fussing, she's basically screaming.  This shift in behavior is coming right as I found I'm pregnant with #2 and I def. have moments of "what was I thinking?".  Don't get me wrong, I'm still super excited but oof. 

    Are you going to do anything different this pregnancy than your previous ones?  We are switching to a hospital/midwife practice that is much closer to my current job.  We had such a great experience with DD that it was pretty hard to convince my husband to switch.  
  • Thank you much for all of the ideas, ladies! ❤️

    And yess @keeksie84... I’m pretty much liz lemon IRL. 
  • @keeksie84 @littlebug2010 I'm thinking about keeping the EDD just for reference, but then making the rest of the questions more specific to adding a sibling, existing kids, and family life? Thoughts?

    @keeksie84 OMG we're the same person! LOL I was JUST telling DH last night that DS's recent mood/behavior shift has me like 'OMG WTF have we done?!?!" Like you, I wouldn't actually change anything and am absolutely thrilled to be KU, but it's like our 15 month olds know we're KU and are trying to make us regret it  :D 

    @laurenm2123 @WorkingOnMyNightCheese thank you both so much for the encouragement! New toddler emotions plus 1st trimester hormones is an.... interesting combination  :# 

    @EmilyLove25 My first labor was 22 hours, but I think it was only that long because of my cervical scar tissue (which should now be gone). Both my sister and mom had SUPER short labors for all kids, so I'm nervous at how fast this next one may go - partially because we live 80 miles from the hospital  :#

  • @stassischroeder oh man 80 miles! I thought ours was bad being an hour away! 

    How about a question about what you’re doing with current child? Might give some of ideas on how to keep them busy when we aren’t feeling so well. I hate to resort to TV all day but for some reason I was so exhausted this morning I didn’t feel like I could move so we turned on Toy story 3 (last half hour of it) and cried through it 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

  • @varimama I like that idea too! Unless we're out and about all day, I totally run out of things to do with DS that doesn't involve snacks every 20 minutes lol.

  • Late to the party.. :)  But here goes.

    DD/Weeks + Days:  5 weeks

    Size of baby:  sesame seed

    How old is/are your other kid(s)?  DD will be 13 in a couple months, DS is 3.

    How are you feeling?  good so far. nervous, but good.

    Rant/Rave/Questions:  Nervous - hoping this pregnancy works out, and, if it does, then facing questions of how to deal w/ a teen plus a very stubborn, active 3 year old - I'll take it as it comes, I guess!

    Are you going to do anything different this pregnancy than your previous ones? I made up my mind to hope and celebrate in the 1st tri  - come what may - since (TW) I've had miscarriages in the past, and in my pregnancy with DS, I worried the whole 1st tri away and never really let myself get excited about that positive test.  Another thing, I plan on celebrating/savoring each stage more, since this will likely be my last pregnancy.
