Re: How many expecting SAHMs do we have?!?
I am.
Due July 10Th
DS #1 4years old ( Birthday in July)
DS #2 will be two in January.
I am good cramping but hoping morning sickness stays away as long as I can!
I have to go in tomorrow for beta #4 last was only 63. They "think" I might be having a ectopic pregnancy, I am just going day by day and hoping all is well! The 21st I get to have my first ultra sound and see what is going on, It cant come soon enough!
Estimated due date? 12/22
If this isn't your first, what's the age gap between your kids? This is my first!!
How are you feeling? Pretty tired and a little cranky, but overall pretty good
Anything you are looking forward to (shower, ultrasound, babymoon, etc.)? I've got 23 work days left until I stop working! I'm also really looking forward to getting the nursery put together.
@pinkiepop so close to a Christmas baby, that's so sweet! I was born on Halloween and have always loved it.

I have a 5 yo and a 2yo.
Feeling good now that morning sickness has subsided. for the most part I'm back to myself. Just started having aches in my pelvis. I havent gained enough weight yet to make me this uncomfortable so it must be hormones loosening my joints.
Looking forward to meeting the baby and hearing the dr say, "it's a boy/girl!" Just want to snuggle with the baby and soak up the newborn smell:)
If this isn't your first, what's the age gap between your kids? 2 years between each.
How are you feeling? I am SO tired. Totally worn out. Not getting enough sleep. Lots of little aches and pains but nothing major.
Anything you are looking forward to (shower, ultrasound, babymoon, etc.)? Well, this is number 4, so I am kind of looking forward to staying in the hospital, taking naps, ordering all my meals and getting iced juices on demand. How sad is that!? And of course, looking forward to meeting the new addition. Just met my adorable brand-new niece tonight and it was hard to believe that I'll be the one with a newborn again in just 2 months.

Estimated due date? 1/ 19/ 2015
If this isn't your first, what's the age gap between your kids? DS will turn 3 in March , so 34 months..
How are you feeling? Had DS at 34 weeks , preterm labor at 29 weeks. Now DD starting acting up at 29 weeks too...but got it under control with fluid and cerclage at 13 weeks..got to make it to December!
Anything you are looking forward to (shower, ultrasound, babymoon, etc.)? My church is throwing me a celebration of life shower the 15 th. I had 3 losses after DS. I thought it was sweet of the ladies:) It will be nice to get together, eat and enjoy the company:) I go to Dr 17th.
Estimated due date? April 15, 2014
If this isn't your first, what's the age gap between your kids? DS will be 4.5 when the baby is born.
How are you feeling? After a rough first trimester, things are finally leveling out. My patience is running really thin right now though, so I'm trying to work on that. I also have ADHD, and without my meds, I'm really, really struggling with maintaining my home and relationships. My self-control is suffering, and that is not great since I'm trying to model good behavior for DS. My therapist hasn't been much help. I have some off and on back pain, but other than one 2-week period, it hasn't been too bad unless I overdo it during the day.
Anything you are looking forward to (shower, ultrasound, babymoon, etc.)? We have our anatomy scan on the 25th, so I'm both excited and nervous. I'm also anxiously awaiting the genetic testing results we just had done. They should come back this week hopefully. We should find out the sex on the genetic screening, so I'm looking forward to going through all the baby stuff once we know. We didn't find out for DS, so it's kind of exciting to do things a little differently this time. And, not pregnancy related, but I'm really looking forward to the holidays this year!
Due 2/10
My step daughter is 8 and we have a 3 yr old and 2 year old now.
I am so tired on the constant Braxton hicks!!!!!!! My stomach is like a rock most all day long.
This one is a girl but I don't think we are having a shower so I'm mainly enjoying buying girly things for the first time.
Baby boy is due January 21.
My daughter will be 3 1/2 when he's born. She could be more excited than I am.
I'm ready to be done. Baby is measuring almost a month ahead, so I'm huge. Killer hips, swollen legs and feet, back pain, and oh, the braxton hicks.
I'm excited to buy cute little boy clothes and for my daughter to meet her baby brother. Plus my mom (who lives 1500 miles away) is coming the week before my due date. Yay!
EDD: 7/21
Age Gap: DD will be almost 5, DS 2.5
Feeling OK, the queasiness has already set in, which is what prompted me to test so early.
I'm excited to tell our families and the kids. I know DD is going to be so excited, she loves babies!
And congrats the rest of the expecting ladies!
If this isn't your first, what's the age gap between your kids? DS will be 2 1/2
How are you feeling? I've had severe morning sickness until about 20 weeks, and I'm still feeling exhausted most of the time.
Anything you are looking forward to (shower, ultrasound, babymoon, etc.)? Getting her room set up. Also, we'll be moving to another state in June, so I'll just be glad to get all that work over with and get settled in our new home.
Samuelismomma that is so very sweet of them to throw your baby-to-be and YOU a shower
@ananke your children will be about the same spacing as mine and I have to say (again!) how much I have truly LOVED it, Congrats!
@annie10 I wish my children had been surprises, how neat to not know if it's a girl or boy until they are born.
@sugarbug10 yea for buying girl clothes this time around
@stephij1 I love having a girl first then a little boy and I, too had a blast buying little boy things - they really are so cute now!
@sschwege you just found out yesterday, is it sinking in, yet? That is so exciting, congratulations!
@zoey1309 good luck in your move! We moved across the country when I was 7mos pregnant with my first so I understand the desire to get moved and settled in.
@jellybellystarr congratulations!!! I love having a June baby
@sharkfarts how did I miss that you were expecting?!? congratulations

Due 4/20
DD will be 3 years, 2 months
DS will be 20 months
I feel pretty bad this pregnancy. My morning sickness was debilitating and now I just feel exhausted and hungry and grouchy all the time. My hips are already killing me too.
I have my anatomy scan next week. Very excited to see this baby again, but I think we are going team green this time so I'm a little nervous the tech or baby will let it slip.
If this isn't your first, what's the age gap between your kids? 26 months
How are you feeling? Pretty good, but big! I am already the same weight I was when I was 8 months along with DS.
Anything you are looking forward to (shower, ultrasound, babymoon, etc.)? Nothing in particular, other than getting to meet our baby girl, of course!

@beth1212 aww, haha I felt HUGE much earlier with my second than with my first. So unfair!
@disneygeek77 GD is awful, I'm so sorry to hear that.

@disneygeek77 OMG that looks awesome

If this isn't your first, what's the age gap between your kids? Our first
How are you feeling? Exhausted, lol...I feel like that's the standard answer but that's my overall feeling these days. Like I just ran a marathon.
Anything you are looking forward to (shower, ultrasound, babymoon, etc.) We had our shower this past weekend and it was wonderful. I'm looking forward to our final growth scan (I have GD and for some reason I'm paranoid I'll have a giant baby, even though everything has been measuring normal lol) and meeting our little man.

If this isn't your first, what's the age gap between your kids? This is our first!!
How are you feeling? Sooooo tired! I can NOT sleep through the night anymore! I just sit there awake staring at the ceiling. Other than that, lower back and pelvic pain. But I am loving feeling my baby boy move!
Anything you are looking forward to (shower, ultrasound, babymoon, etc.)? Baby shower is tomorrow, so that will be fun!! Also looking forward to finally being able to shop!! (My mom insisted I wait until after my shower, which makes sense, just takes a lot of self control!)

If this isn't your first, what's the age gap between your kids?
This is our first. So I guess I'm not technically a SAHM yet but I will be once the baby is here and at the end of this month when my 2 weeks is up and I won't be working anymore in general.
How are you feeling?
Really anxious and excited. But that's pretty normal for me. (And lucky that I didn't really have much morning sickness during my first trimester!)
Anything you are looking forward to (shower, ultrasound, babymoon, etc.)?
Honestly, I'm just ready for the baby to be here! Currently though, I'm looking forward to finding out if the baby is a boy or a girl.

If this isn't your first, what's the age gap between your kids? DD is 12 & DS is 9. HUGE age gap!!
How are you feeling? Pretty good besides being exhausted all day!
Anything you are looking forward to (shower, ultrasound, babymoon, etc.)? Just having my kids seeing the baby for the first time. They are ecstatic!
Estimated due date? 2/7/15
If this isn't your first, what's the age gap between your kids? DS1 is 10, DD is 7, and DS2 is 5.
How are you feeling? Overall not too bad but this has been my toughest pregnancy so far. Only a little more than 10 weeks to go!!
Anything you are looking forward to (shower, ultrasound, babymoon, etc.)? I'm excited to be going into the upcoming holidays as a SAHM and being able to focus on the family without additional pressure from work. And of course welcoming our new addition in Feb!!
First baby.
Feeling nausea on and off. Tired and leg cramps.
Looking forward to our 8 week ultrasound on dec 5. Also can't wait to share the news with the family.
