Welcome, ladies, to the Expecting a Sibling Weekly Check-In! I will try to post this check-in each Friday around 10:00am-12p EST, so be looking for it! I'll also try to repost this around Saturday-Sunday so that others can add to our thread. If you'd like you can also put the date of your next checkup or u/s and I'll add next to your name so that we can send good thoughts your way on that particular day.
Below is the list of ladies who have joined us, 82 so far! If you would like to be added to our list, please leave your Bump Name, your real name (if you choose to share), and what number child this will add to your family. Newbies are always welcome, as well as proud step parents & those adopting!
For those who are newbies please read the post New to January Moms or The Bump? (thank you to mchupie!). It will help answer so many questions, and you can also grab the January Joy button code from that post. There is also a bump glossary located here. And an unofficial glossary located here. The unofficial glossary contains a lot more bump lingo.

General QOTD: How have you felt this week? - Good, energy is up, just need to keep check on my weight & food intake (I'm wanting to pig out quite a bit).
QOTD: Any last minute plans for the end of summer? - We have 4 birthday parties this month, including 2 for DS!
General QOTD: How have you felt this week? - Not too bad. Little tired but otherwise ok.
QOTD: Any last minute plans for the end of summer? - Nothing specific. DH is taking off a week from work starting 9/13, so I'm sure we'll do something fun then.
4boysohmy - January 9 - Team Blue (C-section will probably be last week of December.)
I have felt like a raging hormonal psychopath I have no energy, which is making me moody because there's so much I want to do, but am exhausted my the time I get my oldest on the school bus.
Last minute plans for summer? I live in Phoenix, it'll be summer until Thanksgiving! This weekend we're letting the kids set up a tent and campout in the backyard, since we only made it camping once this year.
i've been sick with a cold all week, so i'm more exhausted than usual, but otherwise doing good.
my dh coaches in the fall, so unfortunately our lives pretty much revolve around his schedule for the next few months, so nothing really exciting planned. although i wish a weekend getaway was in the cards.
We are now Team Blue - I had a feeling that first u/s was wrong . . .
General QOTD:How have you felt this week? Not too bad. Less nausea, but definitely more cranky than in past weeks. I think I've been really bad about letting other peoples' stress get to me, but I am trying to be better about it.
QOTD:Any last minute plans for the end of summer? Family reunion tomorrow and then hopefully some quiet time at home the rest of the weekend. MH has an incredibly rare (for him) three day weekend - I can't wait!
I *think* I'm starting to have more good m/s days then bad which I'm totally excited for! I've only threw up once this week, I still gag a lot but I'll take that over throwing up.
Sadly no, this is my busiest time for work so I'll be working non-stop until the end of October.
General QOTD:How have you felt this week? Pretty good at least until it gets late and then I start to get a real bad headache and the baby wants to kick me.
QOTD:Any last minute plans for the end of summer? No not really. I would love to do some organizing since all the major holidays are coming in and the baby will be here very soon.
Please add me I am due 1-5-11 and I am team BLUE and this is my #4th baby

General QOTD: It was a pretty good week. I exercised more this week than I have in probably the last 12 weeks combined and it was refreshing.
QOTD: All of our end of summer plans wrapped up two weeks ago. DH is full steam ahead in his 3rd year of pharmacy school already but the LOs and I have been hitting the pool a lot this week.
Eliza
Married to a pharmacist
Mother of two boys, three girls, and one more little boy on the way!
Two time miscarriage survivor.
So happy to be expecting our sixth child in August 2017!
I would like to join! My bump name is percylover22, my real name is Lisa, and we are expecting our second child (a girl!) on January 17th.
General QOTD: I've been feeling overall pretty well this week. We have been potty training DS, so that has been a bit exhausting, but he is a fast learner and is getting the hang of it rather quickly!
QOTD: No plans really for the end of summer. DH has to work this weekend, and most of my family is going to be out of town, so just DS and I will be hanging around.
