@SarahFoley725 I went poking around the trimester boards for the shadow twin thread (and got totally sucked in in the process LOL) but I couldn't find it? Was it completely deleted? Or am I looking in the wrong spot?

Ladies, I have an actual holiday miracle to share with you: I have only gained 2 pounds since 11/12. Seriously. I didn't think it was possible...that's like ALMOST in range of what's considered normal. I feel so proud! (Still big as a house, though.)
Can I rub your belly for luck? I need a Christmas miracle with regards to weight gain, I just can't seem to get it under control!
As for the sexy time topic, DH is all for doing the deed while I'm pregnant, but I'm the one who gets weirded out. Especially when his hand rests on my belly I'm like DON'T TOUCH THERE! We're not getting much action these days though, because we work opposite schedules and I have class on one of his nights off. Boo
Moments when I hug ds and I think "wow I love this little boy. How could I ever love someone else as much as I love him?" Thankfully, our hearts grow with love.

You have no idea. It's pretty amazing.

Dh has actually made a comment a couple times along the line that I love ds more than I love dh. And I'm like, yep and that is the way it should be. I told dh, I love him in a different way, but my heart would heal if I lost him and I would live, but loosing ds would about kill me. Dh had to think about it and then he understood why I said that I love ds more than I love dh. Gotta say, when your SO knows that they come second in your heart, and they are ok with it, you know you have a keeper.

So hoping this is true. It worries me, honestly, because it's just been our son for 5+ years, and I have no idea how I'm going to love another tiny human as much. I hear I will, and I trust the people who say that...but it feels impossible.
@kitteh81...rub away, I'll be like a virtual pregnant Buddha.

DS was being so fun last night and I cried and told dh the same thing. Then I cried again because I felt like I was going to miss out on so much with him because I am focused on DD. All of these stages are just so much fun. Even though parenting is SO hard I love it.

As soon as I held DS2, this was the case. It's seriously unbelievable how that kind of love happens. And then it grew even more when DS1 came in, was the first to met DS2 (outside of DH and me) and just loved on his brother. My mama heart was bursting that day!! One of my all-time favorite memories.

How can you not be goo after this?!?
OK, crying at work now. That is so sweet, your littles are adorable! My son is super excited, and I know he'll be a great brother. He keeps asking me every day "Mommy, what if my little brother came today?" and I have to tell him it's too early. I think he's just imagining what it will be like. I love that. There is a part of me that feels guilty about being excited for #2, like I'm betraying my eldest somehow...but I hear this is normal too.
Totally random, last night my son and husband were talking about how I'm the Queen of the house. My son took it upon himself to tell me that Queens get whatever they want, and then started asking me every 5 seconds what my wish was. He miraculously did everything I asked, and kept it up this morning. It pays to be the Queen!
Yes, seeing my first daughter meet her sister was a huge tear jerker. She introduced herself! "Hi Amelia, I'm Ela Rose. I'll be your big sister forever." I'm actually tearing up again writing about it.
@skruhmin I am so happy for your hear.. last year during out very cold Christmas ours went... took time to get someone out bc of holidays and then he needed a part. We have a gas fireplace in our front room that closes off with a door. We dragged our spare full size bed down ans basically camped out for a week!

Oh man this trimester is going to take FOREVER!!! Going over those pics again just makes me so excited!! DS1 seriously cannot wait. I don't know if DS2 understands but every time I ask where baby brother is, he pats my belly and gets a big grin. You don't know love until you're a mom.

So I got to see my doctor today! It's always nice to see him He told me my husband needs to rub my back and LET ME SLEEP!!! Lol. Then we also talked about my bh contractions and if they intensify or i show signs of preterm labor to go in so I can get the steroid shot. But for tonight I'm to not do a damn thing but sleep (or try to anyway). I was given my paperwork to get my glucose test done next week and a kick - counting card so I can track movement.
Now I'm home, have had dinner, and getting ready to kick DH'S ass if he doesn't shut the light off so I can SLEEP!

I'm back in the world of the living. @skruhmin I'm glad your heat got fixed! Ours has gone out twice but it's nowhere near as cold here as it is there.
Your kids are all making me sappy. Stahhpp I don't feel well enough to cry.
@ecwk Just as soon as I told you that my app was fine...it started wigging out. I have not been able to get it to work still. I had to get on the computer.
We were talking about Married at First Sight at work this morning and someone brought up how like none of the Bachelor people get married and I said "Well actually...." and went into a tangent about all of these people that have gotten married lol. Apparently I just revealed to my coworkers my love for all things The Bachelor/Bachelorette/Bachelor Pad/BIP and they are totally judging. I guess there are worse guilty pleasures though.
I watch them all too and it seriously makes me question my own intelligence but oh well....like you say there are worse hobbies to have. And I hardly think TV qualifies as a hobby anyways. I'm sure we make up for it in all out other awesome ways!!
