now that most are half baked
now that most of us are past the 20wk mark what do you think? do you feel like oh *** this is flying by or more like oh man a whole 20 (or so) more weeks to endure? i tend to go back and forth, seeing as this may be my last pregnancy i am enjoying every minute and don't want it to end, but at the same time want to see my baby and hold him right now!

I am ready to know the gender, hold my LO, and see my older kids love on LO...but I don't want to not be preggars :
The first trimester dragged.
This second one is flying by.
Pretty sure by the time I hit 30 weeks, it'll be dragging again, lol.
I hope this doesn't come out wrong, but it's going too fast for me. I'm scare of how much things will change when the new LO is here and I also know I will never have DS as my only child anymore.
I am SO excited for this new baby, just nervous for the changes!
I can't believe that I'll be five months in on Tuesday. Like holy crap, it feels like I just got the BFP. This summer and fall have been a blur. To some extent, it barely feels real yet. I think a lot of it is that by this point with DD, I had been feeling movement much earlier and more often (darn anterior placenta this time), and we had decided on a name, where we're still not 100% with a name for this guy.
On the other hand, I feel pretty well-prepared. Nursery is planned out and we're prepping to actually get it done, and once it is we'll fill in what we need for this baby, mostly clothes since we're having a boy. I've been working succesfully to structure my responsibilities at work to allow for ML without too much disruption, so I'm not stressing over coverage while I'm out, or that being out for three months will create problems for me. Just in general, I feel much more prepared mentally for this baby than I did with DD.
when i had my second we had been trying for a few months and was so excited to get pregnant and then had a complete break down thinking oh my god how could i do this to my daughter, she is going to be sad and she won't have just me to herself anymore, it was so hard but of course she didn't care the least bit and was so excited. just a hard adjustment i think as parents to make sure it all goes smoothly and no one feels left out or less important

Freaking out a little bit, I scheduled all my appts up to 34wks. That was surreal to me and after the holidays it's only months away for all of us EEEK!!!
It's my first pregnancy and everyone told me that it would fly, I didn't believe them. But being already half way there.. I'm like oh my goodness! So much to do and plan still!
It scares the bejeezus out of me- I am almost 24 weeks and keep realizing that I have at most 16 weeks left.... That's not much at all- considering it's been 20 weeks since I POAS! And with the holidays smack dab in the middle, before I know it, it's going to be January and I'll be well into my third trimester....
I still have so much to do- get past the holidays, decide how to finish the nursery, wrap up all my work projects (they have their own timeline so it's not like I can pound everything out in a day, it's construction management), buy everything I need, stop FREAKING out about having TWO KIDS!
OY VEY!
So far I do feel like it's going relatively quickly. I imagine it will only drag on once we get past all the holiday madness and into the New Year. Right now I'm like "oh thanksgiving is so soon! and then christmas!
But once all that is past then all there is is 2.5 months of waiting for baby, baby showers, prepping the apt etc. Right now I'm just loving it though. I feel like I've got that 2nd trimester energy/excitement everyone talked about!

20 weeks felt like a victory. It felt like such an accomplishment to make it that far. I didn't think it went by fast, but my DH sure did.
Now the 4 weeks since then have gone fast! I'm curious to see how the remaining weeks go as I am not allowed to work anymore. Lets hope this time flies by!

DH and I just rescued a second dog, and we feel like we're cheating on the one we already have. We keep telling ourselves this is good practice for when we have our second child
BFP #2 7/11/12. EDD 3/23/13. Ada Alice born 3/20/13.
Time is flying. I put off doing anything about the guest room to turn it into a nursery, and now I feel really rushed.
My belly is also growing too fast! My early pregnancy clothes are all tight.
I'm at 20 weeks right now, and even though that's the halfway point, it doesn't feel like it since it was 6 weeks before I knew I was pregnant. So, in terms of being conscious of my pregnancy, I've got another 3 weeks before it feels anything like half-baked! Also, this is my first, so I'm SOOOOOO excited to meet him, and that's making me very impatient! Every week feels like an eternity!
Sounds like it's going faster for you second-timers and beyond, since you already have a LO keeping you busy! *slightly jealous
