*What is your EDD/how far along? 

July 5th/15w tomorrow 

*How have you been feeling/doing?

Exhausted.  My nips hurt.  And eating in the morning is a struggle.  Otherwise I'm good  

*Any appointments or milestones?

Had an OB appt yesterday.  Nothing too exciting but I did schedule my A/S for 3w from tomorrow!  Eek! 

*What were your highlights and struggles this week?

Not so much KU related, but DD has been napping horrible lately.  She just struggles the rest of the day and refuses to take more than one nap unless it is in the car.  So today I started "sleep training" for naps....I'm hoping this works.  She needs to get more sleep.  As of right now she's only sleeping 10hrs at night and getting maybe 1hr nap during the day. 

*QOTW: How far apart are the kiddos going to be?  What scares you about this age gap and what makes you excited?

They will be 22m apart.  I'm scared about how clingy DD is to me.  She does do great playing independently but I'm worried about those times that I will need to be holding the baby and can't put him/her down and DD flipping her shiit.  I hope she does well, but I'm not sure.  Also, I was suuuper lucky with DD and DH was off work with me for 4m.  It made it so much easier to catch up on sleep and take a break when she was having a screaming session.  As of right now he will probably have 4-6w off which I know is awesome, but nothing like last time.  And there is a possibility he will be switching companies next month and if that is the case, he might have 2w off if we are lucky.

I'm excited to see how close they will get and to see them play with each other  DD is a real sweetheart and I think she is going to be a fantastic big sister.  It makes me all weepy just thinking about it!

*EDD is 8/3, I'm just shy of 11w.
*Feeling better now that my cold is gone & I've been STTN again. Yay! I just wish I could poop on a regular basis. Colase & Dr. Pepper works, but I don't want to rely on that.
*No appts or milestones. NT scan is next Tuesday at 4pm.
*Highlight: My cold is gone. Struggle: Pooping.
*Kiddo's will be 32 months apart. I'm worried M won't be ready to share mom & dad. He did not do well with the 8m old that came over last week. I hope he grows enough to share better. It will be nice that they will play together, eventually. I'm looking forward to M having a play friend.

*What is your EDD/how far along? 

5-9...so I'm 23 weeks today.

*How have you been feeling/doing?

 Pregnancy wise...I've been blessed with no sciatica this time so far.  I still have some food aversions, but I'm feeling much better than early on.  I just hope I don't pick up any illnesses....I've had whooping cough and a stomach bug during this pregnancy, so I hope I don't get the flu.

*Any appointments or milestones?

Next week an appointment.  I am showing now-so that's a milestone (although I can still wear my larger size normal jeans...lol).

*What were your highlights and struggles this week?

This week has been fun.  DS has been a cutie & as a side note I won a carseat last week that I got today.  It works out great because I was going to buy my mom one for Landon (since they will have him when I go into labor & watch him from time to time), so I just saved the $40....lol. The added bonus was it was nicer than mine (so I'll keep that one) & I've never won anything in my life-so its really crazy.

I still worry a lot about this LO, but I think Landon has kept me so busy time is going by fast.

*QOTW: How far apart are the kiddos going to be?  What scares you about this age gap and what makes you excited?

18 or 19 months apart.  I am worried that 2 under 2 will be crazy with me working still (& 3 dogs-my neighbors now hate). I'm afraid the first few months will be really hard and Landon's a momma's boy.  He has been really clingy lately, esp when I drop him off in the morning.  He does well with other kids but I am worried he will be jealous of the new baby.  I am really focused on keeping his world the way it is for awhile & not making him grow up too soon since he is a baby too.  I think since they are both boys they should be close and have a lot of fun.  I got to thinking they will only be a year apart in school as well.

*What is your EDD/how far along? 

July 30th, though they will most likey do a rcs at 38w, so probably closer to the 16th.  I'm 11 1/2 weeks!

*How have you been feeling/doing?

Great!  No complaints, other than being really exhausted.  Also, it's so funny how different my pregnancies have been!  With DS, my boobs hurt right away.. it was my telilng sign that I was pg!  This time, they've just now started to hurt.. and MAN do they hurt!! LOL.

*Any appointments or milestones?

We have our NT scan on Monday.  I should have had my monthly OB appointment last week, but I had to reschedule it, and they didn't have anything available in January.. sigh, I really should find a new OB office, I just really like my doctor and don't want to leave her... 

*What were your highlights and struggles this week?

Not really any struggles. Highlights, I told my boss!  She wasn't as surprised as I thought she'd be, LOL, or perhaps she just hid it well   She looked authentically happy for us, though!  And, I talked to her about P/T after LO#2 comes.. she didn't say "yes", but she said she's open to the idea and was very receptive, so here's to hoping!

*QOTW: How far apart are the kiddos going to be?  What scares you about this age gap and what makes you excited?

Mine will be exactly 1 year.  Give or take a week or so.  It's SO exciting, but also extremely terrifying.. as a FTM, I don't know what to expect at 1 year old.. so it's hard for me to plan how having a newborn with a 1 year old will work.. all I know is I'm going to need a lot of help in the beginning!  My Mom will hopefully come and stay with me for a week or so, as will my MIL so that way those first few weeks I always have someone home to help with DS while I'm tending to the new baby.. doing a rcs is annoying because it means I won't be able to pick DS up for a while.. in the end it will all work out.. i'm confident of that!! Like Luvmyducks said.. I can't wait to see them grow up together.. I really hope they become best friends

It is WAY too early for me to be participating in this, but I just wanted to say hello!  I'll join in once we have a bit of assurance that things are going well.

Sorry I?m posting so late...we had a 3 day journey back home to Mexico and just got back last night!

What is your EDD/how far along? 8/16, 9w 2d

*How have you been feeling/doing? Good, just really tired!

*Any appointments or milestones? I have an appointment tomorrow (Mon. 1/14) hoping to finally see baby?s heartbeat!

*What were your highlights and struggles this week? Highlights, getting back home safely and having a son who is a really good traveler. Struggles, having to say goodbye to my family and friends. It?s super hard only getting to see them once or twice a year :-(

*QOTW: How far apart are the kiddos going to be? What scares you about this age gap and what makes you excited? They will be about 20 months apart. I?m just scared/nervous/worried about how I?ll manage, since I?m the primary caretaker and when I?ll be able to sleep! Haha, never, I know :-)

Shanna, just wanted to ask if you could please remove me from the EDD list. We went today and saw that our baby stopped growing 3 days ago. I am having a D&C tomorrow morning. Thanks
