I won't be able to tag everyone, but hopefully those who asked read this.
For 2 under 2 and breast feeding with another LO: the first month and a half was really rough. My first was only 13.5 months old when #2 came. New borns do nap a lot! So I did get more naps than I expected. New borns are only up for short periods so as soon as ds1 went down I would try to feed and encourage ds2 to also nap. And then mommy napped. When I breastfed ds2 the oldest would either look at stories watch tv or cry. I remember being so worried about it and being in the moment I remember someone asking me what I did and I was like "I don't know? We just pretty much do our normal thing and if he's crying at my leg I try to console or explain what's happening." A lot of times he'd be like fine she's not picking me up and move on. If the timing worked I would give him his bottle at the same time. They don't nap at the same time now (I will now be having 3 under 3!) ds1 has always been a great distraction for ds2 and it was actually easier the second time around because you aren't so confused and worried about everything.
As for EDD and coming earlier and faster labor: my first came 11 days early and was a 12 hour labor. My second came 20 days early and was a 3.5 hour labor. dS2 came so fast I couldn't believe it! I barely made it to the hospital.

How much does a baby cost a week (not including daycare, clothes, or toys)? My current list of top budget for items is just diapers, wipes, formula (if bf does not work), and um I guess nipples for the bottles and liners? Should I budget in medicine?

Budget breast pads, storage bags for freezing breast milk, and maybe feminine products. Nipples for bottles.. Idk why you would need more than what is given with the bottle. I probably wouldn't budget medicine. That's my advice.

@jhems776 I can totally relate with you on the friends situation and I second what @JennM205 said. The majority of DHs friends are not at the baby stage and are just getting married and establishing themselves. We've been left out of so many plans because of this. It's really hurtful at first, but we've come to realize people have NO IDEA what it's like to have a baby if they don't have one. DH and I often joke how much things will change when they all start having children. It'll def be a rude awakening for some of them. My friends, on the other hand, have pretty much all had kids so it's nice to get together with them and have play dates. Since DS was born, Ive made friends with other moms by just going to local activities for kids. You'll find mommas to socialize with in no time .
FINE, I'll ask the first question, because I'm determined for this thread to stick.
Moms of 2 or more: how have you kept your toddlers occupied during baby's naps and breastfeeding sessions? Do they just learn to occupy themselves or do you have a few go-to routines/activities that helped?
Mainly with my second, my toddler learned to occupy herself. At first I had a few special toys that I'd pull out for her to play with while I was breastfeeding baby. It was way easier with the third baby. The oldest was big enough to understand that she needed to come get me if there was anything wrong, but that otherwise she was to play nicely with her younger sister. I think it's going to be harder this time, because my youngest and this baby will be 16 months apart. Much closer than my others.
I need some registry help - is there a separate thread on this? I'm only 15 weeks, but a few folks have asked so I am putting together a list on Amazon for now. I am overwhelmed to say the least. What are/were a few items you couldn't live without that you recommend registering for/purchasing pre baby?
I recommend putting bibs and burp rags on the registry. Both bibs for eating and the smaller ones meant for catching drool. I think they're called bandanna bibs. You could decide what carseat and stroller you want and put those on. Even if nobody buys them for you, Amazon gives you an 15% completion discount for anything that hasn't been purchased before your due date.
@jhems776 you can totally do it with the 1 bedroom place. Babies have a lot of stuff, but it's not stuff that they need at the same time. For example, when my daughter was done with the baby swing I got out the exersaucer/activity center thing.
@jhems776 I think what you have (except maybe nipples) would be your day to day expenses until 6 months. Then you'll need to factor in baby food (or supplies if your making it). You'll have many other expenses of course, but they will happen sparingly compared to daipers/wipes/formula/food.

Small things...A&A blankets, wubbanub and a few other paci varieties (you never know which kind your LO will take to), Velcro swaddlers, a sound machine and boppy.
Big things...a swing, video monitor, pnp and bouncer.
For Moms of 2 or more: Is it true that the second (and subsequent) come(s) sooner and faster than the first?
My DD was 8 days early. I'm due 9/1. Therefore, I've just naturally been thinking about/expecting a late August baby. Am a setting myself up for the possibility of weeks of torture with the potential of going overdue? (I did the opposite with DD. I was due 9/20. Everyone said the first comes late. So I was mentally preparing myself for that...and when she came 8 days early, I was in total denial and *almost* think it may have attributed to some of my PPD (because I wasn't "done" being pregnant yet)).
I know no one can say for sure and I'll just have to wait and see. But I'm dying for some stories - show me the statistics - so I can at least attempt to better mentally prepare myself this time!
mine have gotten faster each time. this last one (the third one). I woke up suddenly in labor. Took us about ten minutes to get to the hospital. Baby was born. BOOM. whole thing took like 30 minutes. Thank God, I don't know how I would have handled no medication if it went slower lol. But now my doctor is like, "just come to the hospital if you even remotely think your in labor". But, there are no guarantees. Some people it doesn't follow any pattern.
The faster labors in 2nd+ pregnancies is freaking me out. My first labor lasted 11 hours from water breaking (no contractions prior) to birth. DH works about 45 minutes away from home, the hospital is 30 minutes away, and someone will have to come watch DD. If it's not a weekend or evening, it could be up to 2 hours until someone could get here to watch her. I feel like we need to get a plan in place. Now.

Maybe have a neighbor as a backup? Baby won't be coming for 6 months so you have plenty of time to plan. The trickiest part will be those of us who go over Labor Day weekend. That happened to my sister last year and she had about 5 people lined up and ended up going with like plan E.

@camichael84- I'm right there with you.. woke with my first contraction at 8am, decided to get checked at the hospital around 11am, they admitted me and baby was here before 8pm that same day. Luckily - hospital is 5 minutes from the house and husband works about 20 minutes away. I think up until maybe 2-4pm I would have been able to safely drive the very short distance to the hospital.. but we will also have family and neighbors on-call ready to come watch Emmett.. or come pick him up from the hospital if I need to take him with me!

Yes, I'm feeling the same. My labor with DD started at about 4:30am and she was born before 4pm that same day - so less than 12 hours. Meanwhile, I wasn't even sure it was the "real thing" for the first few hours. I started wondering "what if" and called the doctor at that point but it wasn't until they were admitting me at the hospital around 11am that I knew it was for sure. So when only five hours passed between then and holding DD in my arms - it feels like it was SO fast! Don't get me wrong, I'd love another quick / easy ("textbook" as my doctor/nurses called it) labor and delivery. But (*fingers crossed*) please let me make it to the hospital - and in time to get an epidural, if that's what I've chosen.

My plan is to line a up a couple people. We will probably end up taking Lo to the hospital with us and arrange for the person, whoever that may be to meet us there. No idea if this will work but we don't actually have family here and very few friends so I don't know a better plan.
Eh, I am not too worried about this labor being too fast. With DS, it was only 8-9 hours from when I realized I was in labor to when he was born. It was fairly quick, but I never felt like it was rushed or too fast. It also helps that I only live 15 minutes from the hospital.
I don't know what the exact question would be for all of this but I guess advice.
1. Living in a 1 bedroom apt. We have a 1 bedroom plus den (9x9ft). We are trying to see if we can swing buying a two bedroom but that has like a 30% chance.
2. Living far away from family and having few friends in the area. After telling a few friends I have already felt half of them pull away, I'm not sure how many people we have to lean on. Also, for birth when to have the family fly out. I think I want my parents there but for how long and with me or a hotel I have no idea. I know I don't want his parents there the first week, which will work because his brother is due 2 days after us. When to ask them, this will have to be planned because of plane tickets.
1. We are also in a smaller place but we're not willing to move until we've decided for sure where we want to end up long-term, so for now we're making do. For us, the solution has been to rent a small storage unit. Our second bedroom used to be our office but is now my son's room so we have all our office furniture, files etc in storage until we have a bigger place again. You can also use a storage space to keep baby gear your LO outgrows if you're not ready to get rid of it completely and to store clothes in sizes/seasons that LO isn't currently using.
2. We were in the exact same situation with #1. We wanted my Mom to come stay for a while but DH's mom to have a shorter visit. We decided to have her come first so she and my mom wouldn't be there at the same time (again, small house!) We booked my Mom's trip in advance because she was coming across the country. I think we planned her arrival for about 1 month after my due date. My MIL booked her trip last minute when we had a pretty good idea of when baby was going to arrive. We knew that if baby wasn't over due, there might be some time in between the visits where we'd be on our own but it just wasn't cost effective to book my Mom's big trip last min. As it turned out my son was 2 weeks late so my MIL came and stayed for a few days and then my mom arrived just a couple of days later.
This time my parents are retired and bought an RV so they're going to come early but they'll have their own place to stay. That is absolutely ideal. I wouldn't ask someone to stay in a hotel if you want them there more than a few days but it's nice not to have lots of people living under one small roof.
No idea who is going to watch my daughter when this one comes. No family nearby but plenty of friends who would be willing but not sure how willing they would be in the middle of a workday or the middle of the night. (Seven hour labor so I'm also in the boat of needing to get moving pretty quickly once labor starts with this one.)
For Moms of 2 or more: Is it true that the second (and subsequent) come(s) sooner and faster than the first?
My DD was 8 days early. I'm due 9/1. Therefore, I've just naturally been thinking about/expecting a late August baby.

I know no one can say for sure and I'll just have to wait and see. But I'm dying for some stories - show me the statistics - so I can at least attempt to better mentally prepare myself this time!
My first was 2 weeks early, my 2nd was 10 days late, my 3rd was 2 days late. I think the important thing to remember is it's an ESTIMATED due date and each pregnancy/baby is different.
Moms of two or more: we have an 18 month old son (rear facing as long as possible) and will be having twins this go around. Is there any reasonable possibility of NOT getting a mini van? I know it's going to be easier... I'm just not sure I'm ready to be a mini van mom!

DH and I have discussed taking DD with us to the hospital and have someone meet us there to pick her up, if push comes to shove. My MIL is no longer working, so we've also thought about her coming to stay with us for a week. Or course, I'm freaking out and there is a good chance I'll end up being induced. But I was suppose to be induced with DD and she ended up coming on her own, so I'd like to be prepared for anything.
ENTERTAINING OLDER SIBLING: My boys are almost exactly 3 years apart (birthdays are 4 days apart). With #2 you can't always nap when baby naps, but try to get their nap times to overlap if you can. My oldest watched a lot of TV the first couple months. I felt bad but it's about survival. We ended up putting "quiet time" in place. He was 3 and didn't really nap any more, so I said you don't have to nap, but you must remain in your room. You can read, play with your toys or sleep. He actually loved it, but all kids are different. This time #2 & #3 will be 2 years and 1 month apart...so I don't know if I'll be able to get a 2 yo to go for quiet time.
MATERNITY LEAVE: With my first I went back after 8 weeks, mainly because I hadn't been at my job for a year yet. But my boss was very accommodating. He said work 1/2 days if you need to, come in late, leave early...come back slowly. With #2 I took the full 12 weeks and I plan on it this time as well. It sucks that paid maternity leave isn't normal in the USA, I get it, it costs money and it would probably make companies avoid hiring women around "that age"... but it can really put stress on families. My advice is to take 12 weeks if you can, obviously everyone's situation is different. Money may be short but that's temporary, and most people only go on maternity leave couple times. Time is one thing you can never get back, and getting to spend it with your children is worth it.
DO YOUR CHILDREN COME SOONER/FAST 2ND, 3RD TIME ETC.: Every pregnancy is different. My first came 10 days early and I was in labor for 4 hours. My second came 2 days late, but we checked into the hospital at 9:55 pm and he was born at 10:25 pm. I didn't have time for the epidural...he very easily could have been born in the car! I think in most cases labor is easier/faster.
ESSENTIAL ITEMS: I did see another thread for this but For Mom: lanolin cream, nursing bra, robe, cheap underwear that you don't mind getting ruined or take some of the mesh ones from the hospital, pads of different absorbencies as you heal. For Baby month 1-2: Diapers, Wipes, butt paste, burp cloths, onesies that zip and it's nice to have the fold over the hands so they don't scratch their faces, car seat, pack n' play (both our boys slept in our room the first 6 months).
I know the feeling... We live a 12 hour drive away from my family and 4 hour flight from his and almost none of our local friends have kids and none of them are close enough that I feel like I should expect anything from them (good feelings and a small gift yes, but I'm not expecting meals or babysitting). We live in the basement of our house and rent out the rest of the house so in effect we live in a one bedroom apartment. Fortunately its pretty big down there so we decided we are going to just have the baby in with us that first year and put the crib near the bed for night feedings and such.
I didn't think about having the family come visit but chances are, they will definitely want to come (both the hubby and I are the only ones who haven't had kids and both sets of parents were starting to despair of our ever having kids). Now im going to have to figure out what to do with them and when im going to be ok with them visiting!
I don't have any advice, just a mutual situation and feeling of uncertainty.
Moms of two or more: we have an 18 month old son (rear facing as long as possible) and will be having twins this go around. Is there any reasonable possibility of NOT getting a mini van? I know it's going to be easier... I'm just not sure I'm ready to be a mini van mom!
Stop fighting it. Just get a minivan. It will make your life soooo much easier. Think about how many times you have to load and unload your kid from the car. Now think about doing that with 3 children. Tired yet? The best thing about a minivan is that they are at the right level for kids to climb in and out of by themselves. It's also the right level so that you don't have to lift that heavy carseat up to get it in the car. You also don't have to bend over to put it in. Just open the sliding door and set it on the seat. I love my minivan. It's so much easier on my back than our SUV is.
@Sbrown721 I had a homebirth and am planning on one with this one as well. I did have a 16 hour birth, with 4 of them after transition, so am hoping this one is a bit easier, but wouldn't trade the last one for the world.
@Sbrown721 I'm a FTM but I'm planning a home birth. In my province in Canada, the government certifies and pays for midwives to attend homebirths. My mom had one with my sister also (but this was before the government started paying for it).

Is anyone planning for a homebirth/had a homebirth or am I the only crazy one?!
That totally freaks me out. But I had an appointment today and actually asked my dr what we do if we can't get to the hospital. I am kind of worried about that because of my baby delivering trends. My last baby group had a mom deliver on the way to the hospital. In the car!
How much did it cost to have your baby at a hospital that accepted your insurance? Empire BlueCross (my insurance through my job) had this little widget on their website where you put in the procedure and choose a provider, and it spits out the estimated cost and your required contribution. Now, it says that a normal vaginal delivery at the hospital my OBGYN is recommending is going to cost $13,959, and my contribution is $0. This sounds great, but I have read all types of horror stories about women getting outrageous bills for things like diapers and aspirin. Am I missing something? What did you actually walk away having to play the hospital?

It really depends on the type of insurance. I have a high deductible insurance with an HSA. After deductible is met, insurance pays about 80% for most things. For DS, I ended up paying the out-of-pocket max that my insurance has. I used the funds in my HSA so it wasn't too bad. Before insurance, the bills probably added up to close to $30,000 - that includes the delivery (vaginal, no complications) and hospital stay for me, the nursery/hospital fees for DS, my OB/GYN, the epidural, and the pediatrician.

My hospital didn't include anything like that in their charges. It's a daily stay rate and that is that. Everything they gave me and I that ate was included in that price. We have a high deductible w/HSA like PP and the bill to the hospital after we met our out of pocket max was around $4000 (which we were able to use the HSA on). Of course, that didn't include the payments to OB, anesthesiologist, and pediatrician. Their bills came to around $700, I think. I had a vaginal birth, c-sections cost more and would include an extra day of stay. I do think this is going to vary greatly with your hospital and insurance plan, though.
Great to hear that I'm not the only one doing a homebirth! I am a FTM so, this will be quite an adventure for my fiance and I! We love and trust our midwife already. She has a great deal of experience and it will cost way less than a hospital birth! It will be so wonderful just to climb into my own bed after the birth and I've heard many times before that a natural birth is NOT as painful as people make it out to be.
@Sbrown721 I'm not going to pretend I went epi free when I gave birth, but there is a reason I got one. Labor is every bit as painful as people make it out to be. And my epi had pretty much worn off in my lower half while pushing, so I felt everything during the birth. The birthing process wasn't as bad as the contractions because there was an instinctual desire to be pushing, but it was no picnic either. I encourage you to go into your natural birth with lots of natural birthing techniques instead of anticipating it being not as painful as it's made out to be. Because you just never know what is going to happen during any birth.
@camichael84 Thanks for the advice! I am fully aware that birthing (naturally OR with medicine) is no walk in the park. That being said, I am participating in prenatal yoga 1-2 times a week and I will be taking a 12 week hypnobirthing class when I get closer to my due date! There is nothing that I can do to fully prepare for birthing, but I can put some tools in my tool kit
Re: Ask a BTDT mom
For 2 under 2 and breast feeding with another LO: the first month and a half was really rough. My first was only 13.5 months old when #2 came. New borns do nap a lot! So I did get more naps than I expected. New borns are only up for short periods so as soon as ds1 went down I would try to feed and encourage ds2 to also nap. And then mommy napped. When I breastfed ds2 the oldest would either look at stories watch tv or cry. I remember being so worried about it and being in the moment I remember someone asking me what I did and I was like "I don't know? We just pretty much do our normal thing and if he's crying at my leg I try to console or explain what's happening." A lot of times he'd be like fine she's not picking me up and move on. If the timing worked I would give him his bottle at the same time. They don't nap at the same time now (I will now be having 3 under 3!) ds1 has always been a great distraction for ds2 and it was actually easier the second time around because you aren't so confused and worried about everything.
As for EDD and coming earlier and faster labor: my first came 11 days early and was a 12 hour labor. My second came 20 days early and was a 3.5 hour labor. dS2 came so fast I couldn't believe it! I barely made it to the hospital.
