Rants/raves/questions? I think my son (5.5 y/o) is going to be really mad at the thought of having a younger sibling. He is a total mama's boy and he will NOT like having to share me. My daughter is going to be over the moon though - she loves babies. Probably won't tell them until end of September because *TW* my daughter was pretty bummed about the miscarriage last time *End TW*.
What popular TV series do you never intend on watching? Um most of them? No Scandal, Lost, Walking Dead, Mad Men, Game of Thrones, Orange is the New Black, etc. I typically like more risque shows like Transparent, Shameless, etc. (I will admit that I have fallen hard for This is Us, though).

I must be old because I was so grumpy last night when the fireworks started before dusk and were still going strong at midnight. I'm grateful that DS slept through it, but it made it hard for me to go to sleep. What popular TV series do you never intend on watching? Ummm, so many? Orange is the New Black, Scandal, Mad Men, The Walking Dead ((zombies are just a hard no for me)), This is Us, Lost, 24, the super hero based ones, pretty much if it's not on HGTV, Food, Travel, Disney Jr...
How old are your other kid(s)? 7 years and 11 months
Rants/raves/questions? I realllllly dislike keeping secrets. And my oldest son decided to blurt out to his soccer team that "Mommy's getting another baby"...thanks buddy.
What popular TV series do you never intend on watching? The Walking Dead. I don't do zombies.
How far along are you? 5.5 weeks How old are your other kid(s)? 1 as of yesterday Rants/raves/questions? It's pretty different with baby #2. I feel like no one is excited or cares at all. I'm sure they do, but with DS it's all anyone could talk about, with this one my MIL and FIL forgot I was even pregnant! Yesterday DH made Moscow mules for everyone at our BBQ and made me a mocktail mule, my inlaws asked why I wasn't drinking... ummmm because im pregnant! You guys know this! Maybe they will remember when my belly is big enough to take them out. What popular TV series do you never intend on watching? The Voice, Dancing with the Stars, The Bachelor/Bachelorette, or any of those reality type shows. Not a fan. I just don't care enough about the contestents to watch. Maybe if my family or friends were on it I would, but strangers? No thanks!
How far along are you? Only 3 weeks, 5 days How old are your other kid(s)? 4 Rants/raves/questions? My husband is playing this pregnancy super close to the chest. We're very close with our parents so it's really frustrating to me. I also feel weird about telling anyone else (ie: my very best friends) until our family knows but I want to share with those I love. I'd rather have their support if something went wrong than for them to never know. What popular TV series do you never intend on watching? Gilmore Girls. No thanks.
How far along are you? 4w0d How old are your other kid(s)? 11, 9 & 5 Rants/raves/questions? I can't decide whether to go with a new doctor or stick with the practice that delivered my other kids... I saw the new doctor once for my last yearly exam in December. I'm not too happy with my old doctor anymore because the practice has gotten HUGE and I really miss the personal 1:1 care/attention that we used to get 10+ years ago when they were smaller. I'm generally an indecisive person by nature, so this decision is killing me! What popular TV series do you never intend on watching? Law and Order, Grey's Anatomy, CSI (just to name 3)
How far along are you? 5w+5 How old are your other kid(s)? 2 years.
Rants/raves/questions? Rant - My doctor is on vacation (she TOTALLY deserves it) so the schedule is way backed up and the nurse practitioner won't see me until the 20th. I was hoping to get in next week. Rave - My numbers are "doubling appropriately."
What popular TV series do you never intend on watching? Lost. Real Housewives of Anything. Orange is the New Black.
How far along are you? 5 weeks 6 days How old are your other kid(s)? 4.5 and 2.5 Rants/raves/questions? I told my brothers this weekend that I am pregnant and they were so underwhelmed about it. I was kind of bummed it wasn't a bigger deal to them. My younger brothers gf was super excited so that was nice. What popular TV series do you never intend on watching? Don't hate me but...Dr who. Zero interest at all. I know there are a ton of dr who fans on the bump though!
Rants/raves/questions? My first real appointment isn't until August 11. The birthing center we plan to deliver at (where DS was born) has started doing a group visit for each trimester. They were not doing these when I went before. It's a midwife led discussion with topics focused on things you may go through in your current trimester. I wish they would have had these visits during my first pregnancy, but I'm hoping they will still be helpful.
What popular TV series do you never intend on watching? Gilmore Girls and The Walking Dead
How far along are you? I'm going with March 5th as my EDD for now, so I think 5w1d
How old are your other kid(s)? 3.5 and 1.5
Rants/raves/questions? Moderate rant: When I had DD, they just sent me in for a dating u/s. Now, they have a protocol where I have to go in twice for beta HCG blood work before they will even make the appointment. I'm moderately annoyed because it's really time consuming to schedule and then arrange for my kids to be with someone for a "10 minute" appointment that inevitably takes half an hour plus drive time. I realize this is not a huge deal, but it's annoying even though I understand the purpose of the protocol.
What popular TV series do you never intend on watching? Great question. I have a hard time following a series simply because I don't watch a lot of tv. There are a lot of series I'd love to watch, but I will have to make a better effort to do so...maybe during those MOTN feedings with this LO.
Rants/raves/questions? My parents have been in St. Thomas since we found out. I refuse to tell them via FaceTime...so I'll have to wait a couple more days. It's killing me!!
What popular TV series do you never intend on watching? I have zero interest in watching Game of Thrones, even though everyone around me is OBSESSED.
@arhodes6 and @heatherdubrow We haven't even told anyone we're pregnant but I'm already preparing myself for underwhelming responses. I can't hate too much since I'm sure I've done the same thing to others, though. There's just something about the anticipation of your first baby that can't be replicated, I guess.
We've only told MIL and our best friends. MIL was not as excited as she was when we told her about our first, but to be fair, she had no clue that the first one was coming. We had been married 5 years and made sure everyone knew we were not in a hurry. They eventually stopped asking. This time around, our family all knows we want our babies close.
I will admit that even I am different about this pregnancy so far. With my first, I was constantly stalking a couple apps to see what was going on with my baby. This time, I look every day or 2.

Lol @Everycol0r it's not for lack of trying on the part of friends for me! so many of my friends have tried to get me to watch the show/read the books. I watched the first ep because I figured if that many people were into it, there had to be something there. I just couldn't get into it.

Breaking Bad was amazing, but I don't think I could ever rewatch it because it made me so anxious.
I think my husband ended up liking Downton Abbey even more than I did, although I did have to "interpret" some parts for him since he sucks at understanding British accents
