jessafishy · May 2017

1) How far along are you/when is your due date? 19 weeks/October 18th

2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Short of breath and achy. Still tired. I need my toddler to finish up his transition to his toddler bed aaaaany day now.

3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Pretty much the same though I don't remember feeling so short of breath this yearly.

4) Rant/Rave/Questions? I'm going to see a friend this weekend and we are going to see the King Arthur movie and have girl time. I am soooo excited.

5) GTKY: What is your favorite season? Fall! Sweaters, jeans, boots, cider, bonfires. The best ever.

carries2018 · May 2017

1) How far along are you/when is your due date? 10/30 - 17 weeks

2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? nipples, headaches, nausea, sore stomach

3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? harder

4) Rant/Rave/Questions? HURRY UP TIME!

5) GTKY: What is your favorite season? All 4! it is my favorite part of living in new england we get 4 equal seasons. just when i am sick of one we turn to the next. i love spring for the new life and getting outdoors, i love summer for BBQs beach/pool visits and long nights, i love fall for finally getting a break from temps and covering up and football, and i love winter for cozy fires and snowmobiling and the holidays! global warming is messing with the timing of my seasons though, not a fan of that.

curlyq423 · May 2017

1. 17 weeks 3 days/October 29

2. Tired, back aches all the time, short of breath.

3. Harder. I feel 8 months pregnant, not 4.

4. Excited for a 3 day weekend with my family AND we don't have plans. I'm hoping to really crack down on potty training our son. I also want to get our garden planted.

5. Fall. I love the colors and crisp air, especially after a hot, humid summer. But I hate what follows, winter.

purplestarz · May 2017

1) How far along are you/when is your due date? 19 weeks/October 14

2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? hip pain is starting, ugh.

3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Pretty similar

4) Rant/Rave/Questions? Decided to go ahead and start potty training DD. I was waiting until we were home from vacation and now I have no excuse lol she's definitely interested in the potty now (and even wanted to sit on a few at Disney lol) but other than buying a box of pull-ups and setting out the potty chair I bought awhile ago I have no idea what I'm doing.

5) GTKY: What is your favorite season? definitely fall. Love the cooler temps and the colors, fall activities, birthdays, and Halloween.

natleilynn · May 2017

1) How far along are you/when is your due date? 19 weeks / October 18

2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? My boobs have turned into their own entity at this point.

3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Let's put it this way. I am done and if my first pregnancy had been this hard, I would have thought long and hard about trying for another one.

4) Rant/Rave/Questions? How long does it take for one to know if they have listeria anyway?

5) GTKY: What is your favorite season? Fall! DH and I started dating in the fall, got married in the fall, the best beers are in the fall and it's just the perfect weather.

mrs_fogue · May 2017

1) How far along are you/when is your due date? 18w6d 10/19

2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? headaches and lots of movement lately which is fine by me.

3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? basically the same at this point

4) Rant/Rave/Questions?

5) GTKY: What is your favorite season? Fall is my favorite but Spring is a close second.

mrs_fogue · May 2017

@purplestarz I've decided we are doing the 3 day potty training approach this weekend. She shows all the signs, I think it just needs 100% attention from me at this point. So this is the last 3 day weekend I will have before baby is due (not counting labor day but that's too close.) I just hope we do ok with our trip in July.

purplestarz · May 2017

@mrs_fogue let me know how it goes! I was reading about that also. We have guests coming into town the next couple of weeks but I'm willing to devote three days after that if it's effective as people say it is!

Eta: did you read the book? or are you just taking tips off the Internet? I can't decide if it's worth it to buy it or not.

riverrainez · May 2017

1) How far along are you/when is your due date?  18+1, October 24

2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? My bump isn't even that big yet but I'm already starting to feel it in my back. Waiting until 20 weeks to bust out my Snoogle though.

3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Same, pretty much.

4) Rant/Rave/Questions?  I hope this doesn't jinx anything, but DS has been "sleeping in" until 6:30 (instead of 5:30) the past week and it's making a HUGE difference.

We're going out of town this weekend and it's kind of the kickoff of our summer, although things are still relatively calm for the next few weeks. Once the end of June hits our schedule gets crazy. I can't wait because it's going to make time go by way more quickly.

5) GTKY: What is your favorite season?  Definitely fall. I love everything about it. I enjoy summer and winter too. Spring is my least favorite because it's the rainiest season here.

mrs_fogue · May 2017

@purplestarz someone sent me the ebook on it. If you want to dm me your email I would be happy to forward it to you.

beezeee · May 2017

1) How far along are you/when is your due date? 21w2d, Oct. 2

2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? I'm feeling good for the most part! Some headaches, boobs a little sore, that's about it. Lots of movement.

3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Same now. 1st tri was way different.

4) Rant/Rave/Questions? Nothing really.

5) GTKY: What is your favorite season? I truly appreciate them all, but Summer is my favorite! I love spending time at the beach, all the festivals (we have SO MANY in the summer around here), the farmers markets, etc.

@mrs_fogue @purplestarz good luck with the potty training! It can be tough, but hang in there!

curlyq423 · May 2017

@mrs_fogue good luck with the potty training! We are doing it this weekend as well (if I can remember to stay on top of it). He will go on the potty if we tell him to, he just doesn't tell us when he needs to go. I think I'm going to make it wear underwear and hope for the best. Though I'm nervous because we are going on vacation in a few weeks and I'm not sure how he will do there. With our crazy schedules, I feel this is the best time.

sjohns908 · May 2017

@mrs_fogue how long is your trip, are you driving? We did 6 hours each way a month after we potty trained DS and he did great. We had to stop maybe 3 times on the way there (1 of which was on a side road in a corn field because he couldn't hold it). We made sure to just stop about 45 minutes after grabbing lunch because he downs his drinks and it goes straight through him.

aprilsarahjune · May 2017

So the votes are for fall and all of them!

1) How far along are you/when is your due date? 20 weeks, 1 day

2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Feeling good. Officially starting Makenna as soon as my health insurance can get it shipped to the dr's office. I had a really good chat about it with a maternity nurse at my health insurance and she set me up for it. I just need to stop off at the dr's office today to sign a form so that they can get all of the authorizations finalized. I thought I was going to have to get some weird generic compound, but I think they approved me for the name brand drug!

3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Similar - I think.

4) Rant/Rave/Questions?

5) GTKY: What is your favorite season? Fall. I actually prefer spring weather, but our family is just way too busy in the spring for me to enjoy it.

natleilynn · May 2017

@mrs_fogue - also, piddle pads:

https://www.amazon.com/Summer-Infant-Deluxe-Piddle-Black/dp/B004U7OQWW/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1495646353&sr=8-1&keywords=piddle+pad

I'm not so worried about DD having an accident here and there as I am when she falls asleep. She does pretty well during naps, but she's still in pull up's for overnights. Sometimes on long drives she sleeps for a long time so we got the piddle pad to help - I don't want to discourage her from sleeping on long drives, but I also don't want to stress out the entire time over is she saturating the car seat.

sqfibemom · May 2017

1) How far along are you/when is your due date? 18w 2d, October23

2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? The reflux is BEYOND! Just started prescription meds for it so hopefully that helps. Tired, so very tired. Arthritis is acting up. Generally a bitchy cow to those around me, no time for bullshit haha!

3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? So much harder for me. So far babe looks healthy so that;s awesome (anatomy scan on Monday) but I feel like crap. It's mostly the reflux and my arthritis causing the other issues. I also am sort of in denial about being pregnant haha! Like I know I am but I have so many other things going on that I have to remind myself a LOT.

4) Rant/Rave/Questions? Nah haha! I think I've ranted enough already

5) GTKY: What is your favorite season? This is tricky. I love fall because of the changes and colours but I love summer because it's warm and we can do fun stuff almost every day

lola4411 · May 2017

@jessafishy i feel ya on the toddler transition. DS has been sleeping on the floor for two weeks now. we stopped fighting it because at least he is sleeping!

1) How far along are you/when is your due date?
18+4, 10/21
2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling?
feeling good, finally not falling asleep at 8pm on the couch.
3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies?
it is the same, just a bit more tired because of the toddler
4) Rant/Rave/Questions?
ugh i always forget questions! i know i had some...
5) GTKY: What is your favorite season?
summer for sure. if this baby was a girl her name would have been summer even though we are due in the fall lol.

natleilynn · May 2017

@lola4411 DD slept in the floor for probably 3 months. *knock on wood* since we transitioned from toddler bed to super-big-girl-bed, she's been sleeping in the bed. I wish we would have done that wayyyy sooner.

lynettieLoo · May 2017

1) How far along are you/when is your due date? 18 weeks/ October 22nd

2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Hip pain & sore boobs

3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Definitely harder, It's not that bad, but just trying to deal with a 17 month old and being pregnant at the same time is for the birds.

4) Rant/Rave/Questions? Rant: DS1 has been having some nasty runny diapers for the last couple of days and I'm over it! I can't wait to get him potty trained!

5) GTKY: What is your favorite season? Spring! Mainly because it's crawfish season!

oh good to know! i thought a toddler bed would be easy since he got to keep his mattress. so far nothing has worked and we've tried bribery lol. i am just happy he is sleeping...

I've finally come to the conclusion that DD just likes to be able to stretch out. The toddler bed didn't let her roll around and stretch as much as the floor did. And now that she's in the full sized mattress she's got plenty of time to stretch, too. I'm hoping that's it, anyway.

MCraig1484 · May 2017

1) How far along are you/when is your due date?
20w1d / Oct 10th
2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling?
Feeling pretty good, just a bit tired and achy
3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies?
About the same, though I don't remember still feeling tired at this point, but thats probably because I wasn't chasing after a 19mo last time

4) Rant/Rave/Questions?
none this week
5) GTKY: What is your favorite season?
I've always loved Fall - football, cozy sweaters, Halloween, Thanksgiving and the anticipation of the Christmas season, BUT now that I'm a mom, I love summer because of all the outdoor activities we can do to wear him out lol, plus the long days, BBQs, beach and pool

Boobopgirl · May 2017

1) 19+6, oct 12
2) a few flutters and crabby
3) biggest difference is feeling less movement....which TBH is freaking me out a bit
4) our anatomy scan is today!!!! Also DD1 finally figured out how to do a #2 on the potty!!!
5) There are 4 seasons, snow, allergies, bugs, relief. So I am in camp fall as well.

I've been trying to post since yesterday but TB keeps glitching

ksf13 · May 2017

I had a busy day yesterday, so I wasn't on much!

1) How far along are you/when is your due date? 20w5d!!! 10/7!

2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Lately just the occasional RLP as far as symptoms. Movement is getting more and more frequent and a lot stronger! I'm loving it! Some of these kicks are super strong not even to be quite 21 weeks lol.

3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? I started feeling movement a lot earlier this go around!

4) Rant/Rave/Questions? Checking up on baby today (just a regular appointment) and we are headed home to visit in two days! So excited for a two week vacation!

5) GTKY: What is your favorite season? Definitely Fall! Especially since moving to New England! This Fall should be especially great

mrs_fogue · May 2017

@curlyq423 I'll try to check in with you this weekend. Good luck as well!

@sjohns908 it's a 23 hour drive that we plan to break up into 2 days. I have stops planned but will also bring her little potty. I'm more worried about an accident in the seat and then we are screwed.

Thanks @natleilynn got those in my shopping cart now.

curlyq423 · May 2017

@mrs_fogue Thank you! Best of luck to you too! I'll try and check in as well! I'm going to need all the patience I can get
for this!
