More impatient the second time around?

Beth1031 · July 2014

I feel like I am more impatient to know the sex, pick out names, design a nursery and all those fun things this time. I have an awesome 2y/o son and was plenty impatient and excited last time, but I am just counting down the days waiting to know the sex and already started lists of names and secret Pintrest boards. Please tell me I am not alone in my craziness! Maybe we can discuss names?

I am so impatient this time. I want to know do bad. I feel like this first ultra sound appointment is taking forever. I just wanna see my little peanut

Actually, I feel more patient this time. I don't have a ton I need to buy...or much at all really, and we've decided to be team green. We talk names, but I'm a name nerd, so that's not unusual.

@Beth1031‌ I already started a list of names too! What are your top names? I think I'm just impatient to get through the first tri. I feel like I just want to know everything is ok. First appt is this Friday, the day before DDs 2nd bday!

I'm just anxious to get to a safe place. @ToasterCat‌ I'm determined to enjoy this pregnancy too. Fair warning to everyone, I fully intend to be Miss Suzy Sunshine, even if I can't lift my head from the toilet. They'll be the most glorious pukes.

I'm impatient to get past my loss milestones, but I definitely feel much calmer than my last pregnancy. I also still remember my birth experience pretty vividly since it was only 6 months ago, and I'm not in a hurry to go through postpartum healing again. Last time I was so nervous I was like "Pee on all the sticks!" and did so until the hook effect ruined it. This time I'm having a much more even emotional run. I'm also glad that I don't have to research car seats, highchairs, etc. this time around and am hoping I can just enjoy it more.

@sandc63 my top picks are Avonlea for a girl, Malachi for a boy, but who knows we didn't use our top pick for DS. I think I am just just really excited this time because I have most of the research of products out of the way and I can spend my time enjoying the pregnancy and the fun baby prep.

I'm finding that I'm more patient so far. But my son is only 15 months and I still have everything from him, so I know I don't need anything. Granted, for me it doesn't really sink in that I really am pregnant until I feel the nugget moving. Maybe I'll get imatient then. Until then, I'll be busy chasing a wild toddler

Oddly I am more patient. I sometimes don't feel like this is really happening. My son will turn 1 in a couple of weeks and he definitely keeps me occupied.

I'm impatient to get through first tri but I'm also trying really hard to enjoy our family of three. This will be our second and last child, so I really want to enjoy it. We have all the baby gear we need, so baby will not need much.

This is my first pregnancy, so I don't have anything to compare it to, but I am inpatient by nature and this is absolute torture!! I only found out I was pregnant 2 weeks ago and it seriously feels like months! 9 months....really?!?! Ugh, this is going to be the longest 9 months of my entire life. I just want wait to meet our sweet baby. Oh and dont even get me started on waiting to find out the gender and actually start planning this babies life (name, nursery etc) I seriously do not know how I am going to wait...lol. OK rant over

I think I'm trying to be more patient this time since I know how slow 20 weeks really go by now. However, I don't think it's working very well and my husband seems way more impatient this time!

More impatient, no. More anxious, yes. I just didn't start doing a lot of reading about it until after my first OB appointment, so I didn't understand how much could have gone wrong in first tri until it was almost over.

This! I felt like I was so naïve to all the possibilities of what could happen. I am just very anxious to get to that first appointment and US to see that little heartbeat then I won't be so anxious.
