I am so bad at these questions... ha. I kind of like my life so I have no idea. But somewhere set on a beach since I'm stuck in the desert for now?
1 Rainbow Baby: Born 4/4/15
BFP: 4/23/17 EDD 1/5/18
@YorkieLove4 - I really needed a caffeine hit at 3pm this afternoon. Or an afternoon nap, but that's frowned upon at work...
@schaze - I'm sorry you and your DD have a cold, hopefully you can rest up this evening.
@burnsmommy27 - A tea party theme birthday sounds awesome! We had an ice cream party theme for my DD's 1st birthday.
maybe 2 weeks, I got my BFP on Sunday and won't have my dating ultrasound till July 3rd!
my son just turned 1 this month!
No questions, I'm just anxious about the new juggling act but I know now that there's an end to the madness of the newborn days and baby smiles are like crack.
I love the idea of my son never knowing a life without his sibling because I was an only child and never got to experience having a sibling
The only show I watch religiously is GOT and yeah, no thanks.
How far along are you? 7w, 2d
How old are your other kids (Share names if you would like)? DS1 3.5, DS2 16 mo.
Current challenges/concerns about being a STM or questions about things your children are going through now? I’m just having a hard time feeling so rotten right now with too active kids who don’t want to just lay on the couch and watch movies/read books.
Current joys/successes/or happy thoughts about being a STM: I told DS1 about the new baby, and I think he’s getting excited. He’s been asking me to tell him his birth story every night, and getting to hear him say, “you called Amy! My special birth lady!” when we get to the part where I called the doula makes my heart melt.
Rants/Raves/Randoms/Questions: anyone have morning sickness tips with littles at home? I’m dying!
GTKY: If you could live in a book, TV show, or movie, what would it be? Downton Abbey (upstairs please)

Baby #4 on the way!
Easy. Harry Potter Universe

DS is 3
Will I ever sleep again?
I can't wait to snuggle my new baby and sniff its head.
WTF is with this food aversion/nausea w/out vomiting? I feel like if I could vomit I'd actually feel a bit better.
I would want to live in Neptune, be bffs and solve mysteries with Veronica Mars, but somehow also steal her man. Because Logan Echolls in uniform is...

Baby #4 on the way!
7+5
1.0 is 2.5yrs
If I throw up, she has to "throw up". She's started telling random people "mommy sick earlier" and has constant tummy aches.
um... I'll get back to you when I'm done trying to wrangle the first while puking my brains out from the second
H went away this past weekend while we already had a crap ton on the calendar. I am still feeling the effects from all the running around and dealing with 1.0 all night long.
Is there a book or movie where everyone goes to sleep? Because I want to be in that world. Sleeping.
ETA because autocorrect is out to destroy my life.
Just continuing to deal with late onset OHSS and now starting to add in the delightful early pregnancy symptoms, mainly fatigue. Because of all the fluid in my belly, I look about 4 months pregnant, which is making getting dressed for work really challenging and I'm just waiting for one of my students or worse, their parents to ask.
I was on modified bed rest last week and I did a lot of binge watching. I can confidently say I'd like to live on the yacht from Below Deck and travel around the Mediterranean while people cook for me and wait on me!

How far along are you? 8 weeks and 1 day!
How old are your other kids (Share names if you would like)? Emily just turned 20 months yesterday (5/24). I took the day off work and spent the entire day with her.
Current challenges/concerns about being a STM or questions about things your children are going through now? Small challenge—DH is going out tonight, so I am in charge of putting DD down, which he normally does. My nausea is the worst at night it seems, so I am just hoping for a smooth process.
Current joys/successes/or happy thoughts about being a STM: For whatever reason, my anxiety about this baby is creeping back in—just the typical is he or she alive/healthy etc. But barring that, I am just so excited for Emily to have a sibling. I keep thinking back to all of my great childhood memories with my brothers, and it makes me SO excited for her.
Rants/Raves/Randoms/Questions: Come on, second trimester, where nearly everything is better. CANNOT wait to feel that reassuring movement.
GTKY: If you could live in a book, TV show, or movie, what would it be? I think I’d like to be one of the departed on The Leftovers just so I know where they are!
@ChloandCoco Don’t feel guilty! The hormones are no joke! This video is so relevant to how you are feeling and made me cry happy tears… you should watch it! When you think you are being a bad mom, your DD probably sees it differently! https://www.scarymommy.com/a-normal-day-video-story-of-this-life/
@schaze I hope the cold gets better. I am battling one too but on the end of it, thankfully!
@tgortney LOL your GOT comment… did you see the new trailer? Definitely not a place to live!
@KatieEl I just started Seabands… they seem to sort of help… Also, I have found just giving in and throwing up helps in the long run. Can you believe that is my advice? PS so cute with DS1 asking about his birth story!
@SouthernMs yes, actually vomiting days are WAY better for me than unproductive nausea. So many aversions here too.
@EmmyMommy123 If it helps, DD is also a boobaholic and it was not until 18 months that she started sleeping better/through the night often. For us, I think it was mostly taking her out of the crib! There’s hope! I’m with you re: considering tandem nursing if DD needs it but hoping she self weans.

Oh man... I wouldn't actually want to live in most of my favorite fictional worlds. Maybe the Shadowhunters' New York.

@mamakassie2 - My DD is extremely clingy to me too, I'm a little worried with how she will do with the new baby.
@EmmyMommy123 - I've already told a few of my friends and my parents, but we won't tell anyone else until after the NT scan at 12 weeks.
@EmilyLove25 - Thank you for sharing the video, I definitely cried some happy tears. And good luck tonight with your DD, hopefully your night time nausea kicks in after she goes to bed.

Pride and Prejudice. But I would get Darcy...not Elizabeth.
Or basically ANY novel/TV show/movie where I get to wear an old-fashioned dress, impress people with my wit, and get the brooding but unbelievably good looking hero.
DS1 - 15 In August
DS2 - 2 in June
Hmmmm. I always wanted to be a Huxtable kid growing up. But then Bill Cosby went and ruined everything with his rapey and skeevy behavior. Ugh.
@EmilyLove25 girl, yesss! I love GOT! I'm so sad it's delayed this year, it better be amazing!!
@AnyMax I definitely feel something on incision. I have no idea if it's normal or not but just commiserating that you're not the only one
@hwoodmama I'm going to reply to your comment soon in the VBAC thread. I have so many questions!

@ChloandCoco thanks for the feedback. I told one of my best friends who was my doula last time, as she's has all the connections to get a midwife again so I had questions for her the day I got my bfp. I plan to tell my parents next weekend and my in laws the following week, and my two best friends the next time I see them in person. The big question mark is telling my DHs best friends. I'm ok with telling a few select people, but there may be drama if person a knows before person b and blah blah. So silly!
@tgortney I'm not super actively weaning. Sometimes I try to distract him when hes asking or offer a snack instead or tell him later, but otherwise no. I'm mostly still enjoying it! I only don't love that I think it contributes to him waking in the night and not eating a lot of food, and I'd like to be able to confidently have him be away from me for a day or night! So my only weaning plan at the moment is that maybe he'll give up or lose interest if my supply drops while pregnant. (He's 16 months).
