Pregnant Mommas of J14!

JennaRaek · September 2014

Anyone new out there?

How are you feeling and holding up with a 7-9 month old?

DS has been crawling for about 2 weeks now and has made everything so much more difficult. We baby proofed this last weekend and put the gates up. He's so fun to watch though. I'm loving this stage other than having a hard time keeping up and being so tired.

Is this pregnancy flying for anyone else?? I feel like when I was pregnant with DS I was obsessed with everything and every little move and it went so slow. Now I hardly have time to even think about it! That makes me feel kind of bad. But at the same time, I'm glad it's flying! Bring on 2U1!

Bump pic from 26 weeks. Whoa! And ignore the bags under my eyes. DS and I had been up since 4am. Poor thing has a stuffy nose and has a hard time sleeping.

Happy Friday!

Not preggo but wanted to say that's an adorable bump!

Yeah, for real! Tone it down with the cuteness! I'm feeling like a blimp, but otherwise great. The first trimester was brutal with the fatigue but I'm glad its over. It's incredible how much bigger I am this time around, and yet I've only gained around 6 or 7 lbs.

DD has been crawling for about a month and its wearing me down. She's sooooo active. As she gets older, i'm getting more and more nervous about having a 12 month old with a newborn. I am just so glad she's sleep trained so I can (for now) count on a full night of sleep.

I sti.l can't believe I am almost half way through with this pregnancy already. Like you, I feel like I've hardly had any time to pay attention to what's been going on and a lot of times I forget how far along I actually am.

6/7lbs?!? I'm up 14 or so. Ekk!

And I'm honestly scared shitless to have a 12 month old and a newborn. Just trying to focus on the positive and tell myself it'll be fine and we can do it. We CAN do it. We sort of have to, right? Might as well take it in stride! Yesterday with DS was rough. And I thought to myself - there's no effing way. But I guess you'll have those good and bad days if there's 1 kid or 5. I'm rambling. I'm done now.

I have a feeling coming up here soon, we will have a lot more pregnant J14 mamas!! : ) My prediction is once our babies turn 1 or so there will be a lot more. Those of you on the FB group is there any pregnant there?

blue_elle · September 2014

Stop it with that adorable bump! I hardly feel like I was ever pregnant (I mean aside from my pre-preg pants not fitting these hips). I want to be pregnant again but don't want to because I don't know if I'm women enough for 2u2.

painttheair14 · September 2014

Not pregnant yet, but we did decide to start trying in January again!

peanutmuse · September 2014

@Roses87, there are several pregnant ladies on FB and even more are currently trying. Or NTNP. (Myself included in the NTNP group.)

peanutmuse · September 2014

@PaintTheAir, we're going to start trying again in January too. I'd start *really* trying right now, except I want to drink during the holidays.

And yes, I know that makes me a lush.

ETA: Cheers.

BABYROSEJEANS17 · September 2014

Adorbs! Is it bad that I want to be preggers to avoid having to lose weight to fit in my winter clothes? 8-} In all honesty, I don't mind being pregnant again. While DS keeps us super busy, I also would like for him to have a sibling.

painttheair14 · September 2014

@peanutmuse‌ Drinking during the holidays is a solid reason to delay TTC. One year is enough for that nonsense.

peanutmuse · September 2014

@PaintTheAir -- my birthday is December. I found out I was pregnant on my birthday in Dec 2012, so I didn't drink for my birthday, Christmas, or New Year's. And then I miscarried. So I actually have had two holiday seasons sans drinking. Hence my TTC start date. I need to drink some champagne to ring in the new year!!

peanutmuse · September 2014

@itsmeally, I felt the same way each of the past 6 times. (Ugh.) I was TTCing for so long, it's hard for me to view my period the same "normal" way.

nolagal79 · September 2014

Add me to the list of starting up trying again in January as well as the disappointed/weird feeling with each period.

housewifebecomesher · September 2014

Was going to start trying in Jan...moved it up to October.

ribride07 · September 2014

Hi I'm new to the board! Had my first baby in January and wow I can't believe we can be pregnant again. Ijust can't believe how fast time flies and that DD is no longer a newborn. We are ready to start again in November which I can't believe is only two months away. Can't wait to be pregnant again. Fingers crossed! Btw adorable baby bump. Congrats!

OMG I am 26 weeks today and I can't believe how fast it's gone. For the first 20 weeks or so I didn't even really think about it that much (except for every time I wanted a drink!) because I was so consumed with DS. Then I started feeling kicks and getting all my lovely symptoms like insomnia and getting up to pee every five minutes, and my bump popped out big time a couple weeks ago (sidenote: I am roughly the size of a barge, so no pics. I try to avoid mirrors whenever possible).

Confession: I have done fuck all to get ready for this baby! It's another boy and he's going to be born in the same season as DS, so we can easily re-use all the clothes. And he'll be in the RNP in our room for the first couple months at least.

But. We need a double stroller, we need a swing (borrowed the last one and already gave it back), we need a crib (!!!). And maybe a room for the poor little guy for when graduates to said non-existent crib. His future domicile is a small spare room that is currently serving as my walk-in closet and we have made ZERO moves to nursery-ify it.

If this kid didn't kick me in the crotch every five minutes it's possible I'd still be in denial.

LOL, I was just thinking "thank goodness I (hopefully) will never be pregnant again". I'm getting too old for the madness.

somewierd_person · September 2014

I miss being pregnant so badly. If it wasn't for wanting to drink it up on my birthday in April I would consider ttc next month. I know H wants to wait tho because of how fast it happened with ds.

MissMeegs · September 2014

Heh, just be careful with the NTNP, as I learned even if it took a long time the first time, the second time might be different!

(I was thinking we would NTNP for like 6-8 months and then go to actively trying, since we did want them to be close together due to my age, but it took only one month. OY, haha.)

Same here. It really didn't take us long to get pregnant the first time. But it took a few months and we were trying! I got KU 10 weeks PP. Ha.

--------------------------------------------------
I'm a lurker(I'm active on the j15 board) but I had to chime in because I'm in the exact same boat as you! I have a 7month old baby boy and I am expecting baby #2 (another boy) in January. They will be 12 months apart and I too am "scared shitless"!

I love my DS to pieces but he is so much work! My DS just started crawling too and he also pulls himself up onto everything, attempting to stand up. Following him around is exhausting especially when your pregnant and the thought of adding another one to the mix in just a few months freaks me out.

I also try and stay positive like you said and remind myself of how blessed I am and that we CAN do this! But honestly, the fear is still in the back of my mind no matter what I do.

Anyways I just wanted you to know that you're not alone mama! We CAN do this! Feel free to pm me anytime
