Re: STM+ Check In Week of 9/16
How far along are you? 6w 4d
How many kids do you already have? Ages? 1 kid, 2.5 years old.
Rants/Raves: I don't think I have either today.
GTKY: Would you rather have the ability to be invisible or the ability to read minds at will? Read minds! But only when I want to (which is why I added "at will" to the question
); not like a "What Women Want" situation.
How far along are you? 4+6
How many kids do you already have? Ages? 3 boys, 4, almost 3 (birthday in Oct), and 1.
Rants/Raves: I'm really happy my older two are back in school, but I forgot what trying to get them out the door in the morning is like. Someone with older kids tell me it gets better, and if it doesn't lie to me.
GTKY: Would you rather have the ability to be invisible or the ability to read minds at will? this is a hard one, I get serious FOMO, and would love all the gossip I could get if I could be places I wasn't supposed to be, but I feel like opening doors without being seen, and not being bumped into would make this more trouble than it's worth, so I'm going to go with read minds, it would be nice to know what my "strong, silent type" DH was really thinking.
How far along are you? 7+1
How many kids do you already have? Ages? Two kids, 5 yo dd and 19 mo ds ...also have a 17 yo step daughter, if that counts
Rants/Raves: over morning sickness. I want to like food again.
Also over 2020, for obvious reasons.
GTKY: Would you rather have the ability to be invisible or the ability to read minds at will?
Probably mind reading, since people seem to assume I can do that already 😆
How far along are you? 5w2d
How many kids do you already have? Ages? One 2yo boy
Rants/Raves: Ugh nausea is kicking off. Last time it stuck around til week 14ish so only 9 more weeks to go. I also showed up to a meeting with my CPA one week and 15 minutes early this morning.
GTKY: Would you rather have the ability to be invisible or the ability to read minds at will? Probably be invisible. I have too much anxiety to read peoples minds. But being able to disappear would be cool at times.
How far along are you? 5W5D
How many kids do you already have? Ages? 1 daughter, 4 years old, going on 14
Rants/Raves: I miss food and coffee.
I can't wait until I can get through a cup of coffee again 
GTKY: Would you rather have the ability to be invisible or the ability to read minds at will? Definitely invisible! It would be a dream for my socially anxious self
How far along are you? 6w2d
How many kids do you already have? Ages? One kid-- 3.5 yrs old
Rants/Raves: Because I had GD last time, I've been told to shift to the carb limited diet now, which means nausea and pregnancy and food aversion and I can't just eat ramen which is all I want.
GTKY: Would you rather have the ability to be invisible or the ability to read minds at will? Invisible. It's better NOT to know what everyone is thinking. Social media has taught me that...
How far along are you? 6 weeks 3 days
How many kids do you already have? Ages? 2 boys, 5 years and 21 months
Rants/Raves: I started getting nauseated at 6 weeks on the dot. The only time I'm not pukey is when I'm eating. So that bodes well for pregnancy weight gain.
GTKY: Would you rather have the ability to be invisible or the ability to read minds at will? Invisible. I definitely don't want to know what everyone is really thinking!

How many kids do you already have? Ages? One son who will be two next month.
Rants/Raves: we told our close family today and everyone is excited! My ILs live about 25 minutes away and are not really taking the pandemic stuff seriously so we wanted to tell them early so they may start actually being careful. We will see what happens. I am the lab director of a large lab in our area so I've seen a lot in the past few months!
GTKY: Would you rather have the ability to be invisible or the ability to read minds at will? I think I would rather be invisible. I don't think I really want to know what people are thinking!
How far along are you? 4+5
How many kids do you already have? Ages? 2 - Boys, ages 6 & 3
Rants/Raves: DH has already told his work buddies and his brother
I've told some of my close friends, but NO ONE on my side of the family knows. This is the least freaked out I've been so far and am glad I'm not obsessing like I did with the first two pregnancies. I'm hoping that I'll still be comfortable in my bridesmaid's dress for my SIL wedding in October. I'm short, so I show early, but the dress is flowy so there's a good chance I'll be fine. My MS doesn't usually kick in until 6-7 weeks, so I'm busting my butt around here to get the house together while I still feel well. Just trying not to waste these good days.
GTKY: Would you rather have the ability to be invisible or the ability to read minds at will? I'd rather be invisible. I worry too much already what people are thinking, so if I could read their minds (and my negative assumptions are right) it will just send me into an annoyed tizzy.
How far along are you? 4+4
How many kids do you already have? Ages? 1 daughter, 4 years old
Rants/Raves: Our state recently moved to phase 3. We still have a mask mandate, but I swear I see so many people not wearing masks in store. I only in the last month started going out in public. I use to be scared when I saw people without masks. Now it just makes me angry. Like I want to yell at everyone not wearing one.
GTKY: Would you rather have the ability to be invisible or the ability to read minds at will? read minds. Gives me more info on how to respond in difficult situations. Maybe give me more compassion when people make me angry

I’m actually pretty grateful for school being remote for my older two, it’s way easier for me. Getting two toddlers, a baby, and a 4th grader into the car is no joke. (The baby and one toddler aren’t mine).
How far along are you? 7 + 1
How many kids do you already have? Ages? 3 kids: 13 DD, 9 DD, 3 DS (other bump groups used these- DD= dear daughter, DD = dear son, DH= dear husband. Not sure if groups still do or if I’m just old)
Rants/Raves: So tired of the smoky air and being stuck inside. And tired of covid. And all of 2020. But I’m so happy I have a home still, between the fires and the hurricane, I appreciate my house.
GTKY: Would you rather have the ability to be invisible or the ability to read minds at will? Read minds, like @mkc3888 I would like to know what people are really thinking and how to respond.
How far along are you? 5w 2d
How many kids do you already have? Ages? One 4 year-old daughter
Rants/Raves: I just really don't wanna today. I don't wanna do chores, I don't wanna do work, I don't wanna cook, I don't wanna. My husband is golfing this afternoon, and likely won't be home until after bedtime. So I think I'm going to order us some Thai for dinner. Not sure that's exactly much of a rant, but me looking forward to the take-out is definitely a rave lol
GTKY: Would you rather have the ability to be invisible or the ability to read minds at will? Well, I was going to say mind reading until @Marz1pan brought up social media, and I seriously could not have changed my mind faster
for real, people need to share less. So invisible, final answer
How far along are you? 7+3
How many kids do you already have? Ages? Two kids, 6 & 2 (they'll be 7 & 3 next month)
Rants/Raves: My sister is also pregnant and we have the same due date which is really exciting but it's her first and I haven't gotten the nerve up to tell her. I know she'll be excited but also I feel like she will be annoyed that she doesn't get the full spotlight and I totally understand.
GTKY: Would you rather have the ability to be invisible or the ability to read minds at will? Neither honestly, it seems like it would just cause problems. But I guess being able to be invisible could be funny lol.
How far along are you? 5w
How many kids do you already have? Ages? 3 girls (6,5,1)
Rants/Raves: Still getting used to the idea of being pregnant again. We thought we were done at 3, but so happy for this blessing!
GTKY: Would you rather have the ability to be invisible or the ability to read minds at will? Invisible. I dont want to know what people are thinking, i feel like a lot of relationships and friendships would be ruined.
How far along are you? 5w5d
How many kids do you already have? Ages? 2 boys, 8 & 3
Rants/Raves: Ugh...my house is a mess and I don’t feel like cleaning it and I’m hungry but I don’t want to cook.
GTKY: Would you rather have the ability to be invisible or the ability to read minds at will? I struggling to pick on this one. Of the two, I would choose read minds.
@nbcarlson, My SIL announced her pregnancy a few weeks ago. She is due in early April with her first. She and my husband haven’t always had the smoothest relationship. I hope she’s excited that her little one may possibly have a cousin close in age and doesn’t look at it as us “stealing her thunder.”
