Re: Aug '11 Pregnant Moms Check In!
How far along today? 19 weeks.
Wearing maternity clothes? Some normal clothes and some maternity.
How are you feeling? Great. Smooth sailing in 2nd trimester!
Feeling movement? Yes.
Team pink/blue/green? Team BLUE! Just found out this morning! I am shocked. Now just have to find a boys name I like...
Are you more excited or more nervous about 2U2? I am usually more nervous. Obviously happy and excited but man I am nervous!
How are you planning sleeping arrangements? Shared bedroom, twin size bed for older child and crib for LO, or purchasing another crib? Not sharing rooms. The sleeping arrangement as far as beds go, has been quite the dilemma for us!
Super classy work bathroom pic!
How far along today? 22wk 1d
Wearing maternity clothes? Oh yes ...
How are you feeling? Great ... horrible heartburn at night though. Much better than I felt this far along with DD1.
Feeling movement? Yes - not as much as I would like though! DH felt her for the first time last week
Team pink/blue/green? Pink ... sisters!!
Are you more excited or more nervous about 2U2? Definitely getting more excited and less nervous now, which is the opposite of what I expected.
How are you planning sleeping arrangements? Shared bedroom, twin size bed for older child and crib for LO, or purchasing another crib? DD2 will sleep in bassinet in our room until 5 month-ish like DD1. Then another crib for DD2.

How far along today? 27w on the dot.
Wearing maternity clothes? Oh yes, since about week 8 or so. I figured I already had them and it would be so much more comfortable. (I was right
)
How are you feeling? Feeling great, just getting to that uncomfortable to lay down in any position stage.
Feeling movement? Daily. Although she is not as much of a mover as her brother.
Team pink/blue/green? Team pink! So we will have one boy and one girl.
Are you more excited or more nervous about 2U2? Equal parts of both. I'm super nervous to have to young babies, but I'm also super excited about seeing how close my kids will be with each other.
How are you planning sleeping arrangements? Shared bedroom, twin size bed for older child and crib for LO, or purchasing another crib? DS and DD will be sharing a bedroom until we move (and who knows when that will be). DS is still in his crib (he'll be 16 months when sister arrives) and he won't be ready for a toddler bed then. We bought DS a 4 in 1 bed that will convert from crib through full size bed, and we just purchased a crib identical to it for DD. This way we will never need to buy either one of them a bed ever again.

How far along today? 28w2d
Wearing maternity clothes? Goodness yes, of course.
How are you feeling? Feeling good, but think I'm having some 3rd tri return of the fatigue...went to bed with C last night - 7:30. Thought it was still the middle of the night when he got up around 6:20!
Feeling movement? A lot. I think a lot more than with C. I can see the belly moving all around all the time. It's wild, he's such a mover.
Team pink/blue/green? Another baby boy
.
Are you more excited or more nervous about 2U2? I'm pretty much just terrified at this point.
How are you planning sleeping arrangements? Shared bedroom, twin size bed for older child and crib for LO, or purchasing another crib? They'll share a room. I can't remember the last time C even touched the crib...it currently houses the bedding from our guest bed while we paint that room b/c it will be the shared boy's room. We'll move the crib we have (and don't use) and a futon mattress/floor bed into their shared room. Ideally, C will go down on his floor bed and come to our room/bed when he wakes up. If it's too distruptive for him to be in our room with baby #2 there, then my H will go sleep with C on the floor bed in his room, or the guest bed.... Baby #2 will start out in the RNP in our room, then be in our bed. We're a "family bed" family, so no opposition to all four of us in the bed when it's safe and working for us. We just do what works, so we'll keep doing that. No second crib though. The only reason I'm keeping the crib we have is so I always have a safe place to put one of the babies while I'm taking care of the other, or peeing, or in need of a breather!
How far along today? 9 weeks!
Wearing maternity clothes? Already busted out maternity jeans! Though they are a little big yet, they are SO comfortable
How are you feeling? Much better than the last two weeks when I was plagued with constant nausea. Still very tired though.
Feeling movement? Maybe! Last night I was feeling a few flutters or gas bubbles. Couldn't figure out if it was truly gas (lol) or the baby! With my first pregnancy I felt my first movement at 15 weeks so I don't know if 9 weeks is too early to feel anything.
Team pink/blue/green? We won't find out until December!
Are you more excited or more nervous about 2U2? Both, equally!!
How are you planning sleeping arrangements? Shared bedroom, twin size bed for older child and crib for LO, or purchasing another crib? Both kids will have their own room. We'll be purchasing another crib. We are purchasing the convertible cribs, so they will be their beds for their whole life (at least in our home!)
How far along today? 8 weeks 2 days.
Wearing maternity clothes? Not yet. I am hoping I can stay in regular clothes until I am ready to tell work - That would be after my NT scan, in about a month from now.
How are you feeling? Tired. And also royally p!ssed off that now that the girls are both STTN (or at least, they have on several nights) I STILL wake up once or twice a night because I have to pee. WTF.
Feeling movement? No
Team pink/blue/green? Team we don't know yet but want to find out!
Are you more excited or more nervous about 2U2? I don't know. I think as long as the hematoma is around, I don't dare get too excited (or nervous)
How are you planning sleeping arrangements? Shared bedroom, twin size bed for older child and crib for LO, or purchasing another crib? I will answer that question when I know where we'll be living
I know for sure the first few months we'll keep the baby in a bassinet in our room. Then it will depend on where we live. If we're still in the condo, we might have to have all 3 kids share a room (!!!). We'd get one of those "higher" twin beds from IKEA and use it as a bunk bed for DD1 and DD2, and the baby would b in a crib next to them. But hopefully it doesn't come to that!
Wooh-hoo! Congrats!
How far along today? 5ish weeks
Wearing maternity clothes? Not yet!
How are you feeling? Good, but tired.
Feeling movement? No way!
Team pink/blue/green? I think it's a boy.
Are you more excited or more nervous about 2U2? Excited. I still have all the baby stuff saved!!
How are you planning sleeping arrangements? Shared bedroom, twin size bed for older child and crib for LO, or purchasing another crib?
Depends on the sex of the baby. Lilu's nursery is a gender neutral aqua and her playroom is green and pink. If we have a boy, we'll make a big girl room for Lilu in the playroom. If we have another girl, the playroom will become her nursery and Lilu can stay where she is.
How far along today? 8 weeks 2 days
Wearing maternity clothes? Only because they're more comfy and the panels hold my bloat in, lol.
How are you feeling? Rotten, tired, cranky. Looking forward to smooth sailing in 2nd tri!
Feeling movement? Not yet, unless gas counts.
Team pink/blue/green? Still too early to know!
Are you more excited or more nervous about 2U2? As of now, it still hasn't really settled in that we're going to have 2u2, lol.
How are you planning sleeping arrangements? Shared bedroom, twin size bed for older child and crib for LO, or purchasing another crib? DD1 and DD2 currently share a room, and DD2 typically stays in her crib all night. We'll sidecar the new crib and co-sleep with LO3 until he or she is comfortable sleeping on his or her own, and then DD1 gets her own big-girl room and the babes get to share.
Please share your weekly bump photo!
No way am I sharing this bloat, lol!
// I love you too. //
How far along today? 6w4d
Wearing maternity clothes? Not yet
How are you feeling? Like crap!! tired, sick, headache. I seriously think I could sleep all day but DS won't let me
Feeling movement? not yet, can't wait!
Team pink/blue/green? We will definitely find out when it is time
Are you more excited or more nervous? I don't think it has really sunk in yet, but I am both nervous and excited
Sleeping arrangements? For the first four months or so the new baby will sleep in the co-sleep then get his/her own room
I haven't been on the Bump for a long time. I frequented it while pregnant with Claire (born Aug 2011).
How far along today? 8 weeks today
Wearing maternity clothes? nope - just a little pudge, almost looks like I didn't lose a few pounds.
How are you feeling? nauseous & I've been getting sick once a day 5 times a week for two weeks.
Feeling movement? nope!
Team pink/blue/green? DH wants to know and says it's not even a consideration for him, but he'd be happy to keep it a secret from me - fat chance, dude!
Are you more excited or more nervous about 2U2? I think I am nervous about fitting another baby into our life financially. Claire is an awesome toddler - demanding, but awesome. I am excited for her to have a 24/7 playmate so close in age, but of course scared about the difficulties, financially.
How are you planning sleeping arrangements? Shared bedroom, twin size bed for older child and crib for LO, or purchasing another crib? We have three rooms and the baby will share a room with us until she/he isn't waking up all night (so Claire isn't bothered - my biggest fear is having both up in the middle of this night). Claire's crib changes to a toddler bed. The plan is to see whether this baby is a boy or girl. If it's a girl we'll use Claire's crib for her and get C a twin bed. If it's a boy we'll get a new crib that can convert to a toddler bed.
How far along today? 9 weeks
Wearing maternity clothes? ...not yet
How are you feeling? tired, sick, bloated ...
Feeling movement? not yet
Team pink/blue/green? ?? still not sure if we want to find out
Are you more excited or more nervous about 2U2? BOTH!! But maybe a ittle more excited
How are you planning sleeping arrangements? Shared bedroom, twin size bed for older child and crib for LO, or purchasing another crib? Seperate bedrooms for now, only problem is we just made the 3rd BR into a guest room and I really don't want to get rid of the bed but the room is small...we'll see
