Re: STM+ Check-in 3/27
How far along are you? 5+4
Any new symptoms? Not really. Bloat. Does that count? lol
Any appointments recently or coming up? How did it go? Not yet.
How many kids do you already have, and how old are they? 3, ages 7, 5, and 3.
How are your other kids doing this week? My oldest has a hockey game today if the rain holds off. Otherwise not much else going on besides the regular school routines
Concerns/Questions: when are you all telling your older kids you’re pregnant? I can’t decide... but I know I’ll be waiting till I don’t care if the world knows lol.
GTKY: What sports do you/did you used to play? I played soccer a little bit. But nothing that stuck through high school or beyond.
How far along are you? 7w6d
Any new symptoms? Still feeling like 💩 I’ve learned that cooking meat is a no go, so I try not to at all costs. If we must, I open the windows and avoid the kitchen until the smell is gone. That helps the nausea a ton but nothing helps the utter exhaustion and feeling drained. This baby is sucking the life out of my soul 😂 Baby’s favorite foods right now are anything sweet and carbs.
Any appointments recently or coming up? I have my gender blood draw on Monday (please pray for me that it’s a girl 🤞🏻💕) and then on Thursday I have my first ultrasound and dr appt
How many kids do you already have, and how old are they? 1 son, he turned 1 in February
How are your other kids doing this week? He’s been sleeping a bit more than usual, I think it’s a growth spurt/teething. I don’t mind, I need the extra rest right now.
Concerns/Questions: To continue the car conversation from the last weekly check up - I plan on having at least 3 kids (maybe 4 😬) somewhat close together but I reallllllllly don’t want a van. Anyone have and love the traverse or Tahoe? I feel like they have some storage too, and the seating I need for car seats. Also, my husband and I are taller people, so we need lots of space as far as seat position and still being able to fit car seats. My Ford Escape right now can barely fit my sons car seat because we are so tall and have the seats so far back 😞
GTKY: What sports do you/did you used to play? I played soccer, basketball, and softball as a kid.
How far along are you? 8w, 5d
Any new symptoms? Nope, still just ridiculously tired and fluctuating stomach issues
Any appointments recently or coming up? How did it go? Had one on Wednesday! Got to see the bean, and everything is just fine. Weirdly, their US machine didn’t produce sound for the heartbeat? When I had it done in NY for Arlo, they could show it and hear it. Oh well!
How many kids do you already have, and how old are they? 1; 2.5yo

How are your other kids doing this week? Same as always, a little wild and crazy. He got in trouble for hitting at school again, not the first time. So, it’s fun to get calls from the preschool director.
Concerns/Questions:
GTKY: What sports do you/did you used to play? I played soccer through high school. I also rode horses when I was younger (jumping), but chose soccer as I got older. We still had horses, but I just rode for fun instead of showing.
@tmk2021 We have a Yukon, so pretty much the same as a Tahoe. It really isn’t much bigger in terms of seating. The 2 captains chairs in the second row are nice and great for car seats, but the third row is tiny, and with the seats up there really isn’t much storage. You’d have to go with the Suburban/Yukon XL for seating and storage.
How far along are you? 5w6d by LMP
Any new symptoms? Nothing new just exhausted and always hungry at midnight
Any appointments recently or coming up? How did it go? Had an ultrasound on Thurs and saw a gestational sac and have another on the 7th to hopefully see a baby and heartbeat (my last pregnancy was ectopic so we wanted to be sure the little bean was where they belonged)

How are your other kids doing this week? She’s a sweetheart. When I’m bent over the toilet bowl she comes in to rub my back, says “sorry mommy. I love you mommy”. I think she’s still a little oblivious to why/what’s happening but she’s a great sport. Spending lots of time with her cousins since I’m pretty useless at taking care of her at the moment.

How are your other kids doing this week? My ILs are staying with us for two weeks (they're vaccinated and we hadn't seen them since December 2019), so my son is super pumped that he has so many people to play with around. As much as I don't feel like hosting, they've been pretty good about just taking care of things so I can't complain too much.

How are they? They are great. It’s Holy Week so they have half a day of school tomorrow, Friday and Monday off. I have no idea what we are going to do.
@2dogs2kids sparkling water has been my jam. I like Pierre, but I feel like people either love that or hate it. If you want something more flavorful Sparkling Ice has lots of options and is quite good. Their apple flavor tastes similar to a Reds Apple Ale. I plan on guzzling those nonstop this fall 😂
