Sorry I have been MIA for the last couple of weeks and thanks to the ladies who posted for me in my absence!!!
How far along are you?
What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancies?
Rant/Rave/Questions?
What is one thing you stressed about getting done before you had your first baby, that looking back was silly?
GTKY: Where did you go on your honeymoon OR where is your favorite place you've vacationed?

My newest symptom is severe headaches last about 6-8 hours. I didn't have these with my other two pregnancies.
Im also still pretty fatigued in the evenings.
My DH is so awesome! Picking up the slack and taking care of the kids.
I had a dream last night I had a tiny baby boy. Who knows if it's right, but it was an awesome dream!!
I was so stressed about the nursery with my previous two. They didn't even stay in there until about 6 months. This baby will be set up in our room for awhile.
We took our first family vacation last year to Myrtle Beach and it was a blast doing things as a family.

My symptoms are mostly gone now. But the crazy dreams remain (different than last pregnancy). I still get heartburn on and off. Oh and still scent aversions.
Having a cold or any sickness while pregnant just sucks!
Transplanting house plants
Honeymoon was in Phuket, Thailand. Favorite vacation is hard for me. Toss up between Brazil/Argentina (specifically Iguassú Falls), Paris, Amsterdam, and Thailand.

Less nausea, but lots of dizziness
Being pregnant with a toddler is hard!
Cleaning baseboards at the end of my pregnancy. I almost couldn't get out of the floor.
Honeymoon was a cruise to the Bahamas. It was wonderful. I want to go on another.
I love greece! As a close second Disney World! We took DD in November and it was so much fun

I'm nauseous most of the day, but it's different smells that trigger it this time around. Before it was fish, now it seems to be mostly garlic.
I am just still in shock right now. My son has accepted the news of twins very easily and keeps reminding me lol
My baby registry and how I insisted on completing it and needing all of those useless things that still remain in their original packages in the depths of his closet.
We packed up our lives and moved to Austin, TX where we spent a few months unemployed and partied it up in the city. It was a good time.
Symptoms? Just tired and hungry. More sore
Rave would have to go to my 7 year old son who helps me so much. I actually feel guilty about the amount he has grown since his sister was born in August. Now another due in August
Silly- Before my son I needed his nursery to be perfect. Now I take things much slower
Gtky- My husband and I have never vacationed. I would love to go some time
9 weeks +
Being this exhausted with a toddler who just quit napping is just miserable. We watch too much tv in the afternoon because I can't take it anymore and I work a lot of nights.
I'm not easily stressed and I don't remember stressing about anything. This time I'm worried about caring for the first during birth.
We honeymooners in a cabin in blue Ridge Mountains. We love vacationing to disney
Still cramping. I never had any with my first pregnancy. I had more nausea with my first, but the few times I had it this time it was worse. I'm more exhausted this time which makes sense since I'm chasing a toddler around! Yet I have trouble sleeping...
I didn't stress much about anything my first pregnancy.
We honeymooned in Hawaii for 2 weeks. Absolutely my favorite vacation. Second favorite was when hubby and I went to Disney World... I already can't wait to go back with kids!
...people vacation?
Nausea is dying down some (sooner than later time) and my breasts are just now starting to get sore (happened immediately last time. Extremely exhausted (worse this time with a toddler to chase after) And the heartburn has kicked in really early this time.
Fitting in a birthing class, looking back on it now it was a waste of money since I knew so much about infant already from my education and years spent in childcare. And the few labor techniques we learned went to waste cause I ended up in a emergency c section shortly after being induced.
Favorite is definitely Disneyland especially after having a kid. Use to be Hawaii but we went to Hawaii and Disney last year with a toddler and it was just so much more enjoyable at Disneyland.
My bold print has a mind of its own....so whatever not sure why some of this is bolded.
I'm working 50-60 hours a week. I want to find something closer to home and more like 40 hours but I'm well liked at my job, have a great shot at a huge promotion and breaking into a new job just seems like so much fricking work. I wish someone would just tell me what to do. I have so much vacation built up but I'm going to go crazy working this much with two kids. I hate job hunting. It's such a game.
Well I think I did pretty good. I was pretty reasonable about it all since I'm from a big family and knew what to expect. I guess I stressed a bit about having a birth plan. I didn't write one on paper but I stressed a lot about how I wanted things done. For the most part we followed the plan.

still nauseous 24/7 and gagging a lot more but not actually throwing. I'm still super tired, and getting a few headaches. Which is different from my first.

I finally exercised for the first time since I had my bleeding episode. I was given the all clear to exercise again after my appointment on Monday, but I had more brown spotting that night through Wednesday. It was just when I went to the bathroom, but still made me nervous about getting back into anything. I've had scares and complications with every pregnancy. I just want to enjoy this and not be nervous about everything.
We were house hunting and finally found something when I was 6 months pregnant. We closed less than 2 months before I was due. I was put on bed rest 3-4 weeks later. We planned to move into our house when I was 37 weeks. I was being monitored closely and my BP wasn't great so we were worried that I would have to deliver before we moved. I ended up making it to move in day and was induced 5 days later. Our house was barely unpacked. I did worry about the crib not arriving in time, which it didn't, but DS hated the crib anyway and only wanted to sleep in our arms. Other than the moving saga, I think I was pretty laid back.
We went to Greece - Athens, Crete, Rhodes and Santorini - for our HM. It was definitely the best vacation we've taken.
I slept 9 1/2 hours and am still tired today. Why can't I get tested?
Loved my Carribean cruise for our honeymoon. Favorite vacation spot Seabrook/ Kiawah Islands outside of Charleston, SC.
