Re: GTKY: 5 What Q's.
1. What are you craving right now? I'm pretty content right now sipping on my hot chocolate.
2. What is something BR that you really need to get accomplished? I need to get a baby sitter lined up for our hospital tour.
3. What is something that makes you nervous about LOs arrival? That he will come before my parents get here and we will have to call the baby sitter to watch DS.
4. What have you been the most relaxed about in terms of this pregnancy? I'm a pretty relaxed person in general. We played badminton last night and I was really going for it (no diving of course). I am strict on not having caffeine/alcohol/hair color...no judgment for those that do, I'm just not.
5. What would be your biggest complaint about this pregnancy? Too much chocolate, like eating a brownie, gives me heartburn.
1. What are you craving right now? Domino's Pizza, and we never eat Domino's.
2. What is something BR that you really need to get accomplished? I need to get registered at the hospital. We also need to move so I can work on the nursery!
3. What is something that makes you nervous about LOs arrival? Not having everything ready in time, since we have so much going on right now.
4. What have you been the most relaxed about in terms of this pregnancy? At this point, I'm not nervous about becoming a parent. I know that it will not be easy, but I know a lot about babies and children, so I'm not that nervous...yet.
5. What would be your biggest complaint about this pregnancy? The pelvic pain for me has been the worst by far, because it's incapacitating so frequently. It affects my sleep, my walking and my ability to do anything physical.Vroom, vroom.

1. What are you craving right now? Gardetto's Rye chips. I could have them today if I didn't eat them all this weekend...
2. What is something BR that you really need to get accomplished? Um, everything? I need to buy blankets, pacis, a curtain, need to set up the crib and start decorating the room...yeah, I'm behind.
3. What is something that makes you nervous about LOs arrival? How DD will adjust. She loves babies but it's going to be different when the baby is in our house 24/7.
4. What have you been the most relaxed about in terms of this pregnancy? Drinking coffee.
5. What would be your biggest complaint about this pregnancy? My vagina feeling like it's going to fall off. Seriously, what is going on?
1. Nothing. Food really hasn't tasted good for the last 33 weeks.
2. Prepping my cloth diapers! I am NOT looking forward to the excess laundry.
3. My sister had a 36 hour labor followed by an emergency c-section. I hope to have a better experience.
4. I've been surprisingly relaxed. I'm normally very anxious and over-prepared, but I've tried to step back and enjoy it (and I've avoided reading too many 'how-to' books, so I think that has helped).
5. See number 1
. I'm a total foodie, and this is killing me! But, I figure if that's my biggest complaint, then I'm doing pretty well.
1. A Little Debbie nutty bar
2. I need to set up the PNP and organize his "corner" of our room.
3. Having 4 kids. I'm nervous because everyone preaches structure, and I am afraid that I will literally feel like a robot.
4. Having enough baby stuff. I feel prepared in that respect.
5. The incredible lack of support for a VBAC from my H and my ob's. I get the whole statistical thing...but you know, there's an easier way to let people down and still be supportive.Dexter 08/31/2012~Summer 07/25/2011~Jack 10/21/2008~Aaron 08/12/2007
1. What are you craving right now? 100 Grand candy bar...yum! Too bad I don't have one.
2. What is something BR that you really need to get accomplished? Organize DS' infant clothes and figure out what we need for this LO, and then go buy it!
3. What is something that makes you nervous about LOs arrival? Balancing DS and baby #2...DS is kind of a mommy's boy, so I don't want him to feel left out in any way.
4. What have you been the most relaxed about in terms of this pregnancy? I think I'm more relaxed about pregnancy in general the second time around...it helps knowing what to expect.
5. What would be your biggest complaint about this pregnancy? My terrible, awful sciatic pain! I've been in pain since I was 9 weeks along...I'm SO ready to be able to walk without the fear that my left leg is going to give out suddenly.
1. What are you craving right now? Right now nothing but I am sure that will change fter I read some more responses
2. What is something BR that you really need to get accomplished? Everything
3. What is something that makes you nervous about LOs arrival? See above and also delivery
4. What have you been the most relaxed about in terms of this pregnancy? Getting everything in the baby's room organized. I think I washed and organized DD's room 2 or 3 times before she got here!
5. What would be your biggest complaint about this pregnancy? Sciatic pain is really uncomfortable this time around and then the HB- I always have heartburn!!
1. What are you craving right now? I bought some gummy snacks yesterday and I really want to eat them right now, but it is not even 9am here so I feel weird about it.
2. What is something BR that you really need to get accomplished? We got a lot done on the nursery yesterday (decoration wise) so now I want to go in there and really get it organized.
3. What is something that makes you nervous about LOs arrival? I guess just labor itself, I try not to think about the what can happen and just go with it, but the closer we get the more nervous I am getting.
4. What have you been the most relaxed about in terms of this pregnancy? I think I have been pretty relaxed in general. I am trying to be realistic and do what is right for my baby, but I am not going overboard with all the rules (I still eat soft cheeses and drink caffeine in moderation).
5. What would be your biggest complaint about this pregnancy? I am just really uncomfortable when I sleep and have been for a while now, I am so sore when I wake up its like I had ran a marathon the day before. I was never a side sleep so I think my body is just not used to that, especially with all this extra weight.Now I know where my response went- Oops! Sorry
I love a good GTKY.
1) Ice cream always.
2) We have a picture wire hanging up but it's not straight yet. I really need to have DH fix it and then hang up things on it so that I can be done with it and so that I can use the box the pictures are currently in.
3) He's still transverse and it makes me nervous.
4) I've been pretty relaxed about the actual parenting/we're having a baby part.
5) I had some really unfortunate experiences with doctors this pregnancy. Not getting information in a timely manner, lab results troubles, etc. Not a huge complaint but it's added a lot of stress that wasn't really so necessary.
1. What are you craving right now?
DH is home today so he is cooking.
KFC - we don't eat it ever so this is weird for me. And I know I can't have it tonight.
2. What is something BR that you really need to get accomplished?
We need to finish his room. We painted this weekend. But I still have the mural left which is a huge task.
3. What is something that makes you nervous about LOs arrival?
The delivery. I am waiting on a call for when my next u/s is and it will give us a good source on how big the little guy is. At my app't my doc said he is in line to be anywhere between 9-11lbs. I don't want an 11lb kid!
4. What have you been the most relaxed about in terms of this pregnancy?
Almost everything. I am a FTM but even with a few trips to L&D it has been fairly easy.
5. What would be your biggest complaint about this pregnancy?
I honestly don't have any huge complaints. I know people who are currently having worse pregnancies than I am. So I try not to complain. But .... if I could change it from the summer to the winter I would. The heat/humidity is killing me!
1. What are you craving right now? Fruit and Milk (or ice cream
)
2. What is something BR that you really need to get accomplished? I need to finish reorganizing his bedroom, and putting the chair moulding around the walls.
3. What is something that makes you nervous about LOs arrival? I'm nervous I won't feel prepared enough...like the feeling you'd get the morning of a test if you forget about it, or forgot to review a particular chapter that you didn't know would be on it.
4. What have you been the most relaxed about in terms of this pregnancy? The way I have felt has made me relaxed. It's been a pretty smooth pregnancy.
5. What would be your biggest complaint about this pregnancy? Feeling unprepared for having a baby. However, I haven't had my shower yet, so I am thinking after that I will feel a little more prepared. Also, just not having enough energy or patience (or time!) to organize and get my house cleaned, and baby-ready.
1. What are you craving right now? Fast Food..mainly McDonalds and Fountain Rootbeer ( I am sick of cooking)
2. What is something BR that you really need to get accomplished? Setting up the swing, learning how to set up the PNP, get the car seat base installed and inspected by Sheriff Dept (DH asked if that is something we had to do; I made up the story about us having new cars there are newer hooks and crap that they need to be hooked into, I trust my DH but I want a tutorial)
3. What is something that makes you nervous about LOs arrival? Having time to get anything done and his circumcision & belly button care and breastfeeding and he'll be an AUGUST BABY instead of September

4. What have you been the most relaxed about in terms of this pregnancy? Rolling with the punches, not freaking out over every little feeling.
5. What would be your biggest complaint about this pregnancy? Getting really sore and tired in the past week. I don't know how I'll do in the next 8 weeks. I am already really uncomfortable.2.0 is on the way! EDD: 2/24/15

3. What is something that makes you nervous about LOs arrival? The fact that I will have three kids!!
4. What have you been the most relaxed about in terms of this pregnancy? What I eat. I have had to go with the whatever stays down approach for a good chunk of this pregnancy, so if I ate cheese and crackers for a week, I had to let myself off the hook.
5. What would be your biggest complaint about this pregnancy? SPD. SO painful!!
1. What are you craving right now? A soda, any kid would do. But we ate like crap on vacation last week so I'm really trying to be good.
2. What is something BR that you really need to get accomplished? Everything. I'm so not ready. Her clothes need to be pulled out, washed and put away, the remainder of DD1's stuff needs to be moved into her new room. Once the rooms are done, I'll feel more ready.
3. What is something that makes you nervous about LOs arrival? The sleepless weeks ahead. I really struggled with that after DD1 was born!
4. What have you been the most relaxed about in terms of this pregnancy? I've been pretty relaxed overall. I stressed about everything my first pregnancy, but this time around I've been really laidback.

1. What are you craving right now? I wish we had a 7-Eleven near me...I want a Slurpee.
2. What is something BR that you really need to get accomplished? Get the crib all set up again.
3. What is something that makes you nervous about LOs arrival? How DS will cope with another little being in his life. He seems to get it...but not really.
4. What have you been the most relaxed about in terms of this pregnancy? I'm just more relaxed in general. I don't sweat as many small things as I did with my first.
5. What would be your biggest complaint about this pregnancy? The fact that I chose to get pregnant at the beginning of the year and be my most pregnant during the hottest time of the summer. Supposed to be 111/112 degrees almost all week, and it's becoming hard for me to stay hydrated.1. What are you craving right now? Ice cream
2. What is something BR that you really need to get accomplished? Figure out how to install the damn car seat! And in baby's room, I need to get clothes washed, get all the "stuff" organized and use that completion coupon
3. What is something that makes you nervous about LOs arrival? The possibility of a long, painful delivery. Also, my regular OB is going to be on vacay for 2 weeks before my due date. And I'm worried about having to get a c-section, although I know that won't be the worst thing. And I'm worried aobut being able to breastfeed. Worry much?!?!?
4. What have you been the most relaxed about in terms of this pregnancy? Food/ caffeine (my one cup/ can a day). And I feel like once I get through the delivery part of things, all will be right with the world - not worried about parenting (yet!)

2. What is something BR that you really need to get accomplished? Finishing the nursery and finding a nanny
3. What is something that makes you nervous about LOs arrival? Hmmm...just one? I'm nervous she'll come early before my scheduled c/s, I'm nervous about the recovery and I'm nervous about the sleep deprivation that will follow.
4. What have you been the most relaxed about in terms of this pregnancy? Sadly, nothing. I've been a nervous nelly. Maybe caffeine and the occasional glass of wine.
5. What would be your biggest complaint about this pregnancy? Not sure if it's a complaint or just surprise, but I thought I would be better at this. I really hate the constant fear of something happening to her and that my body hasn't done as well as I would have thought.

1. What are you craving right now? Iced Tea & Lemonade, I think I'm going to go make some in the Keurig as a matter of fact
2. What is something BR that you really need to get accomplished? Setting up the nursery in our new house, we move this weekend
3. What is something that makes you nervous about LOs arrival? That she will have the same umbilical cord around her neck issues that her brothers did that will cause time in the NICU like DS2
4. What have you been the most relaxed about in terms of this pregnancy? Not worrying about breastfeeding and sleep issues once she's here.
5. What would be your biggest complaint about this pregnancy? How fast it has gone, I can't believe she'll be here so soon.Holy cow, we're going to have a little sister!!
1. What are you craving right now? Just lunch...it's 12:30 here and I haven't eaten lunch yet...yikes!! That and Granny Smith apples with peanut butter, I can't enough of that super tart flavor yum!
2. What is something BR that you really need to get accomplished? We haven't gone on a hospital tour yet (birth class is done though) and DH is still finishing the dresser he made for the nursery so I haven't bothered to wash any clothes or organize...then again I haven't had all my showers yet, so that would be pointless anyway.
3. What is something that makes you nervous about LOs arrival? Recovery of my lady parts
4. What have you been the most relaxed about in terms of this pregnancy? Getting the nursery completed and organizing the house. I'm usually super picky about the state of my house and having everything "just right" but honestly, I just can't wait to hold my baby, everything else is just details...
5. What would be your biggest complaint about this pregnancy? At this stage of the game...waiting out these last 8 weeks. I want this baby to stay in until 40 weeks, but I'm having a hard time being patient!!

2. What is something BR that you really need to get accomplished? I need to finish moving in to our new apartment.
3. What is something that makes you nervous about LOs arrival? That labor and delivery won't go as smoothly as DD's birth. Or, that there won't be any complications after birth, unlike with DD, and I'll feel guilty about not getting that time with her.
4. What have you been the most relaxed about in terms of this pregnancy? I am not a relaxed person in general, but pregnancy really doesn't stress me out too much, once I get out of the first tri.
5. What would be your biggest complaint about this pregnancy? The random aches and pains that I didn't have with DD. Having a 2-year-old running around definitely makes pregnancy more challenging.
TTC since 11/05...ectopic pg 4/08...early m/c 6/09...BFP 10/5/09!
Nora B...June 15, 2010...8lbs, 8oz...Med-free birth!
TTC #2 since 7/11...cycle #3 of Clomid + IUI = BFP
Malcolm...September 21, 2012...8lbs, 6oz...Another med-free birth!
1. What are you craving right now? Lunch. Anything. I'm hungry!
2. What is something BR that you really need to get accomplished? I have two showers (1 fam and 1 friends) the next two Saturdays so I haven't purchased anything but the crib and dresser. I have a ton to do and I don't really know what yet!
3. What is something that makes you nervous about LOs arrival? The pain and the unexpected with regard to delivery. And I'm desparate for him to be healthy and not early.
4. What have you been the most relaxed about in terms of this pregnancy? Relaxed? Ha! I didn't have caffeine, lunchmeat, or any type of "no-no" until my 3rd tri. (Typical FTM
)
5. What would be your biggest complaint about this pregnancy? I've been very blessed and have only had comfort complaints. So basically: heartburn, exhaustion, RLP, and depending on what LOs position something different hurts.
1. What are you craving right now? Chik-Fil-A sandwich and waffle fries, probably bc everytime I go online to read something, I see yet another anti-Chik-Fil-A story.
2. What is something BR that you really need to get accomplished? Finish putting the nursery together.
3. What is something that makes you nervous about LOs arrival? Making sure I can still give DS the time he deserves, despite being sleep-deprived and sore (NOTE: not soar)
4. What have you been the most relaxed about in terms of this pregnancy? If by relaxed, we mean, not making it a priority, then exercising, lol. But, really, I think I have a more relaxed approach this time to people's questions/assumptions about whether I'll get an epidural, BF, etc. I just kind of roll with it, ignore them and know that I'm making decisions based on what's best for me and our family.
5. What would be your biggest complaint about this pregnancy? I feel like I am always tired.
1. What are you craving right now? Sweets. Specifically, ice cream. YUM!
2. What is something BR that you really need to get accomplished? I need to wash the cradle bedding. We also need to buy diapers. And, I want to find her a cute coming home outfit. And a few more headband / beanie hats. So cute!
3. What is something that makes you nervous about LOs arrival? I desperately want her to be full term. I'm counting down the days until 37 weeks! After that, I can finally exhale.
4. What have you been the most relaxed about in terms of this pregnancy? Good question. Too bad I don't have a good answer! LOL!
5. What would be your biggest complaint about this pregnancy? That it's so much harder with a toddler at home. I'm exhausted and uncomfortable - no time to nap or take it easy like with my first! But, I also think it's a blessing. I haven't gained as much weight and I generally feel healthier. That's a bonus!
I should probably start the nursery. That's right..START.
Having 3 children under the age of four.
Caffiene intake. I don't chug coffee but I don't feel guilty about having a cup and a pop in the same day
My job is stressing me out
