It was 68 degrees yesterday and now we have about a half inch or snow. Weather reports say we could get over a foot of snow next week. Wtf.

I've definitely popped. Similar shape to last time, just quicker to pop than I was the first time.

I love to cook and bake, but chasing a toddler around hasn't given me much time to do that recently.
Feeling a LOT better this time around but still get nausea at night

See HDBD. I definitely look pregnant, whether it's a food baby or a real baby, or both...
GTKY: what is your favorite hobby? I don't really have one. I don't have a crafty bone in my body. DH & I like to go to the range, but I can't now while I'm expecting.
edited because autocorrect is stupid
How far along are you? 18 weeks
What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to previous pregnancies? I'm enjoying it more, but these migraines are for the birds.
Any appointments this week? Next Wednesday
Rants/Raves/ Questions My knee hurts
Has your bump popped yet? How does the size/shape compare to previous pregnancies? Pictures welcomed. Definitely popped and way more obvious in maternity clothes. I'm definitely showing faster this time, but not sure about shape.
GTKY: What is your favorite hobby? I enjoy crafting and reading.
How many other children do you have? DD1 is 4.5 and DD2 is 2

People who know I'm pregnant said they can finally see the bump. I was able to go #2 for the first time in weeks this week (thank you green juice) and I think my bump shrank a good bit - I feel so much more comfortable! Also, I usually have a really small ribcage, but I think it has expanded 2+ inches in the past few weeks and with DD2 my boobs themselves never really got bigger, but I'm already starting to fit into my postpartum bras this time.
GTKY: what is your favorite hobby? Running centers me and is my time with other women and with nature. It's going to be so hard to cut back the next few months, but I'm really looking forward to walking with my littles as it gets warmer. I also love interior design.

Oh God yes! I feel jumbo, but know it's my skewed brain. In that stage awkward stage where some people are starting to ask, but aren't quite sure if I have just gained some weight. Not sure how this bump compares to last pregnancy since I have yet to take bump pic. May try to get one later.
GTKY: what is your favorite hobby? Reading! Either that or sleeping right now. I love to bake as well, but it's nuts to try with DS who is either clingy or trashing the house. Hopefully, I can make some pretzel bites this weekend.
DS: 10/11/14
We are going to San Francisco for the weekend. I am so excited, one for the food and two to get out of the snow and see the ground. DS is obsessed with the Golden Gate Bridge, I am hoping reality lives up to what he has imagined it will be like.

I always have a pouchy belly, even pre kids and skinny. So in the beginning I feel like I am just getting fat rather then getting a bump, but I think I finally past that point. I wasn't taking medicine for morning sickness with DS so I have gained weight quicker this time so it is hard to compare. But the extra weight is totally worth not feeling like crap all the time.
GTKY: what is your favorite hobby?
I love to read. Our house is located on the edge of a small state park so we hike/nature walk almost everyday in the summer. And when not pregnant I love skiing in winter.

Yep bump has popped. I popped earlier than in other pregnancies but I think I currently look close to what I looked like at least during my 2nd pregnancy. Haven't compared really though.
GTKY: what is your favorite hobby? Shopping (when I have the money!)

I thought the puking was over but no. I've been sick a couple times recently and still nauseous occasionally. With the boys it was gone for good by this point.

I wouldn't say I've popped, and loose fitting tops still hide it, but there's definitely a bump.
GTKY: what is your favorite hobby? The only ones I still have the time/money to do are hiking and reading.
It's pretty similar to the first. Nothing that stands out differently. No major symptoms right now.

I have a DS who just turned one.
16 week
I've been pretty symptomless this time compared to my first. This week my boob have started to hurt a lot though.
I had one on Monday and I'm so excited fory next one, I get my AS and get to find out the sex.
Weird question. I stopped breast feeding DS almost a month ago, I thought I would dry up really fast but I can still get stuff out on my boobs, is this like left over milk or more likely my colostrum coming in already?

My bump came in about a week ago. I'm still in that stage where you can tell sometimes goimg on but people are wondering if I'm getting chubby or if I'm pregnant.

Oh goodness. I'm one of those people who are a jack of all trades who is a master of none, haha
The insomnia really got to me this week. I finally had 1 night where I went to bed early, fell right back asleep after bathroom trips and wasn't woken up by my 4 year old who feels the need to be walked back to his room after going to the bathroom or getting a drink. I felt so well rested. Of course, the next night I was up for 4 hours in the middle of the night. I can't win.

I definitely popped. I finally told my boss the other day so I no longer have to worry about hiding it during the week. I definitely feel bigger earlier on each pregnancy even though I have started out weighing less each time. My stomach gets pretty round although this time I also feel like some of the weight gain has gone straight to my ass.
GTKY: what is your favorite hobby?
I like baking. There are times when I get on a baking kick and bake at least one thing each week for a while and other times when I won't bake for months.
@brookedeyo I don't ask my doctor anything at my appointments. The only time I had questions was when I had bleeding and was diagnosed with a subchorionic hematoma. Once that started looking better, I had nothing else to really ask about. I'm perfectly happy getting in and out of the office quickly for regular checkups.

I look like I did at 26 weeks with my first. I'm huge!!
GTKY: what is your favorite hobby? Sleeping, working out. I wish I had time for hobbies with my work schedule
My DH and I are arguing about things I "shouldn't" be doing. For example, painting a bedroom, or spray painting a project. Of course I make sure the area is well ventilated and I wear a mask - and it's not like I'm doing this everyday. He just thinks I'm risking brain damage to the baby. However, other things (like scooping the litter box, hauling heavy loads around) he doesn't care about at all. I'm super annoyed with him picking and choosing when he wants to boss me around and the accompanying guilt trips. Anyone else dealing with this? Am I being unreasonable? LONG VENT, sorry.

Yeah, I'd say I have a bit of bump going on. But still in that weird space of my regular clothes are too small and maternity clothes are too big.
GTKY: what is your favorite hobby?
I'm pretty artsy - I taught art for 7 yes before staying home when DS was born.
pain/stretching under my belly when I move to fast or twist, still exhausted, very moody.
With 1st I don't remember the lower pain, more above the belly round ligament pain at this point.
Queation: any mommies that had NICU stays with premmies? One of my best friends just got admitted at 30 weeks with twins, 5 cm dialated. So far she's holding on but her drs pretty much think the twins will be coming anytime. Anyways question is when you had your babies in the NICU, what did you need from your loved ones? Was their something specific someone did, said, sent you that made things even a little easier? My friend tends to be pretty self reliant even when she's breaking inside, and won't ask for help or rarely take help when offered. I just want to know I'm doing something to make this rough time easier but I'm honestly unsure what would be best.

Yeah its definitely popped some. I feel wider then last time though, which leads people to guess it's a boy (haven't had my AS). With my daughter I felt like I grew straight out and this time I fell like I'm getting wider mostly with a little bit of belly popping out.
GTKY: what is your favorite hobby? It use to be reading, now I there's always something else that needs to be done. Finding the time or energy is rare.

Pelvic "clicking"
Monday with our midwife.
I'm feeling so many kicks now and can't wait until the kids can feel her on the outside. My man has felt her squirm and move, but I'm really excited for the big kicks.

I have definitely popped! I posted in the photo section already, and too lazy to take another one right now.
GTKY: what is your favorite hobby?
I often to knit, draw, paint, and play guitar.
My son wasn't a preemie, but he was in the NICU for about 2 weeks. The most supportive thing people did was bring food to the hospital for us. Other things that would have been appreciated was family going to our house to take care of laundry, paying the $5 daily parking fee, gas gift cards (our hospital and nicu are about 40 miles away) and stocking our freezer with meals to have on hand once LO got home.
I hated hearing "this is just a small hiccup in his long life ". While true, at the moment it felt like a knife being stabbed in my heart. It killed me every night when we left the hospital and had no baby to bring home. Just hearing people say that they loved us and were praying for us and his health was perfect.
Sending prayers to your friend and her babies. NICU nurses are absolute saints, and they will be in great hands!
@Kathryn0903 We had DS with us so we only made it a little way out onto the bridge. I think if I was going to walk the whole thing I would want earplugs. It was so loud.
