Re: STM+ Check-In 8/24
DD - almost 12 months aka 1 year! - oh dear I'm going to be one of those people who give their kids' ages in months
How are you feeling? How are you keeping your kid(s) busy while managing symptoms?
The fatigue is real. I feel like I'm not doing enough with DD - I just kind of let her explore and play while I try not to fall asleep.
Just for fun: Have you announced yet? How'd you do it?
We've only told my family. We had DD wear a "big sister" shirt. They were so excited and pretty surprised too. We'll tell DH's family this coming weekend. Other friends and family after the NT scan and then social media after the anatomy scan.
Rants/raves/questions:
I just wanted to update about DD's seizure disorder. She has been on her medication for a few weeks now and it seems to be keeping her seizures under control - we haven't noticed any once she was on the full dose for a few days. Tomorrow she is having an MRI to see if there is anything to explain the seizures and next week she'll have a 2 day EEG at home to make sure the seizure activity is gone with the medication. I'm really happy the medication is working and that she doesn't seem to be having any side effects, but also am still very sad that she is going through this.
DD has really turned a corner with solids though - a month ago she basically only ate puffs and stage 3 purees. The past week or two though, she is an eating machine. She loves fruit the best, but is trying other things too.
DD's first birthday pictures are tomorrow and her party is Sunday. I have sooo much to do still and am kinda stressing out about it. I guess this is what happens when you want to do all the food and decorations on your own to save $.
GTKY: What is the one thing you never had that you want for your kids?
I feel like my family never really talked about feelings or about mental health, so this is something I really want to make sure I talk about with my kids.

How are you feeling? How are you keeping your kid(s) busy while managing symptoms? So things seem to finally be letting up a bit now that I am 11wks, I am not so insanely tired, and my mood seems to be improving. School starts on Monday for DD1, TV baby sits my toddler.
Just for fun: Have you announced yet? How'd you do it? We just posted a random post on FB for family and friends, pretty early on expected to be dealing with another ectopic, we figured we might need some help from friends and family with the kids while we got that sorted out. Now I am planning a reveal when we find out the sex.
Rants/raves/questions: If you have had a boy and a girl, how were the pregnancies different? Did you have distinct symptoms with each? We're so hoping for a boy but this pregnancy has been identical to my pregnancy with my girls, Idk why I was expecting to wake up with a blue glitter mustache, this is such a disappointed.
GTKY: What is the one thing you never had that you want for your kids? Dance class, karate class, gymnastic class, DD1 has been in them all since around 3 years old. I believe my job as her mother is help her find her passion and in order to do that, it is my job to expose her to lots of different things. We've got museums and libraries covered, she is working on finding that passion.
Spontaneous pregnancy #1
DD1 July 31, 2011
Trying for #2 since Oct 11
Spontaneous pregnancy #2= Ectopic #2= lost left tube
Spontaneous pregnancy #3= DD2 January 29, 2016
Spontaneous pregnancy #4= Ectopic #3
Spontaneous pregnancy #5= Baby #3 is a BOY!!!
Feeling alright actually.
Not planning on on telling people until at least 16 weeks. Maybe later if I can pull it off. My family is all far away and MIL made it all about her when I was pregnant last time so I'm not keen to share news with her. When we do announce I'm planning to do a big sister shirt.
GTKY: respectful, non narcissistic parents.
Remind us, how many kids you have and their ages!
Almost 3 and almost 5
How are you feeling? How are you keeping your kid(s) busy while managing symptoms?
The nausea and fatigue is mostly gone, so feeling much better!
Just for fun: Have you announced yet? How'd you do it?
Have told family and friends, we found out the sec yesterday and did a little cupcake reveal to tell the kids. I took a video and sent it to family and close friends.
Rants/raves/questions:
Nope
GTKY: What is the one thing you never had that you want for your kids?
We moved around a lot growing up. I would love for them to live in the same place for their childhood.
11, 9, and 5
How are you feeling? How are you keeping your kid(s) busy while managing symptoms?
Feeling pretty good. More energetic and less queasy all the time. DH has been great at keeping the kids busy while I veg out on the couch most evenings and weekends.
Just for fun: Have you announced yet? How'd you do it?
No, actually we haven't. I've only told 2 friends and my co-workers. I'm not in a rush to tell my family at all. They're very gossip-y and judgmental and they'll have nothing good to say about "all these kids" I keep having. I think I may not tell them at all (they all live far away) and just let them know once the baby gets here. I'll have fallout either way, but at least I won't have to deal with it while I'm pregnant.
Rants/raves/questions:
Rant: I just found out I have diabetes last week and I was pretty upset about it. My sister's way of being supportive was saying "stop being so GREEDY and watch what you eat!" Stuff like that makes me not want to speak to her, but she's the one I have the "best" relationship with out of all 6 of my siblings.
GTKY: What is the one thing you never had that you want for your kids?
I hope to help my kids develop a love for travel. I've never been to another country but I hope my kids get out and see the world.
@becausescience Good luck with the MRI – keep us posted! Also, birthday parties are so much fun! I DIY’ed all of mine when they were that age and it was a lot of work but so worth it. Enjoy!
@pettycrocker My pregnancies were very different with my boys versus my girl. With my boys, I craved junk food, McDonald’s, salt/vinegar, etc. with my daughter, I craved fruit and salads. I had terrible swelling and bad acne with my boys (I felt like I looked horrible) but I looked like my “normal” self with my daughter. I had pregnancy complications with my blood pressure and blood sugar with my boys but I had a perfect and complication-free pregnancy with my daughter. This time, the way I feel and my symptoms/cravings/complications are pointing to BOY, but DH and the kids are hoping for a girl to even things out. We’ll hopefully be finding out in another week or so.
@heatherdubrow How did your girls react to having another sister on the way?
22-month-old DD, 19-year-old stepson
How are you feeling? How are you keeping your kid(s) busy while managing symptoms?
Feeling ok - still really tired but I don't help myself much with that by staying up way too late. Also the vivid dreams. Last night I had a dream where I was part of a group and we were late to a friend's wedding and I had all the rage. Crazy.
DD can usually keep herself busy and content, but it's not too much of a struggle to manage her with my fatigue.
Just for fun: Have you announced yet? How'd you do it?
We have only told immediate family. After 1st tri, will start to tell friends in person. We will announce on social after the anatomy scan.
Rants/raves/questions:
I just bought a toddler bed secondhand for DD with plans to transition her out of her crib so we can use it for LO. DD is almost 2, so the timing may be just right, but she pretty much only sleeps in her crib and has slept through the night since she started sleeping in there, so I'm a little nervous about changing that up. Obviously we have plenty of time to get all this figured out, but wanted to see if anyone has experience, advice or tips on how to make this an easy transition, if that's even possible?!
GTKY: What is the one thing you never had that you want for your kids?
Hmmm - that's a toughie. We had a really good life growing up, so I am not sure about this one. Will edit if I come up with something!!
Remind us, how many kids you have and their ages!
Ds is 9, DD is 4
How are you feeling? How are you keeping your kid(s) busy while managing symptoms?
Nauseous and tired. I have been letting them watch a lot of tv, gameboy, wii, reading... DS is awesome and I don't know what I am going to do when he goes to school next week
Just for fun: Have you announced yet? How'd you do it?
we announced to family a few weeks ago.
DH announced at work last Friday.
We did it on Facebook this week with a pic of the kids that said tiebreaker coming March 2018.
Rants/raves/questions:
I am having issues eating enough protein before bed to keep my blood sugar down because I get so nauseous at night. I wake up feeling crappy those days.
GTKY: What is the one thing you never had that you want for your kids?
My family is close but I want them to be able to come to me with anything. I never felt like that with my parents. I would also like them to realize how fortunate they are- DH and DS are going on a mission trip to Brazil next summer with our church. DH has been there before so I feel safe with them going. I am a little jealous but can't imagine taking a 3 month old.
Almost 2
How are you feeling? How are you keeping your kid(s) busy while managing symptoms?
The nausea has been replaced by vomiting and I'm so very over it. In less than a week, I have lost about 4 pounds or so. Fun times. I lay on the couch and try to be as still as possible while DS tears up my house everyday. Cue all the mom guilt.
Just for fun: Have you announced yet? How'd you do it?
Yep. After announcing my pregnancy and my loss in less than 48 hours we knew we wanted to tell people earlier this time. So I had my first appointment and ultrasound around 10 weeks and we waited to tell my SIL when they came to visit two weeks ago because MH wanted to see someone's face in person. We told all the rest of our families while I was home in July. So we took announcement pictures at Disney's California Adventure and posted them finally.
Rants/raves/questions:
Any suggestions for entertaining an almost two year old? I think he's gotten bored with all of the things at our house and it's still too hot here for this momma to sit outside.
This is so petty. Haha. My oldest sister and I are the closest of all of my siblings and are planning a trip to Disneyland with my aunt in November. Keep in mind that my sister is single and has never been pregnant. My sister and I do matching shirts every time we go but she is being super difficult about shirts this time. My SIL offered to make us shirts on her cricut or whatever so I decided to give in and do the so fly with Peter Pan shirt that my sister wants. But she's all grumpy because the maternity shirt that I found is hunter green and that's the wrong color for Peter Pan... so I should just buy a men's shirt in XL. I'm going to be 24 weeks pregnant when we go and I just want to look cute and pregnant, not fat. She will only buy a fitted girl cut shirt but "bigger girls than you wear men's shirts all the time." ((Rolling my eyes)). So now she's mad at me because I "don't want to match."
GTKY: What is the one thing you never had that you want for your kids?
Swim lessons.
@becausescience that is a good update and praying things go well with the MRI. Also MH jokes that he's going to tell our kids' ages in months until they go to
college.
@ladybugsamom I'm sorry that your family is so difficult and unsupportive. Hopefully your sister realizes how unhelpful her reaction was and does better supporting you. Hugs.
@amylonghorn no advice but this is one of the things that makes me super nervous. Honestly DS is probably ready to move into a big kid bed but I'm not ready! I'm not so worried about him and the crib because LO will sleep in our room for a while. But he's been wanting to snuggle in our bed or the big bed in his room and go to sleep now instead of rocking--he's growing up!
One, 2.5 years old
How are you feeling? How are you keeping your kid(s) busy while managing symptoms?
Still tired. Still nauseous. I thought the nausea had gone away but it hit me hard last night before bed. On the two days I'm working from home with my daughter, I try to get all my work done by mid afternoon so I can take her somewhere fun later in the day...the farm, the playground, the library. while I'm working I sit in the den with her and she plays with her toys...lots of play-doh has gone dry or gotten smushed into my carpet...it happens.
Just for fun: Have you announced yet? How'd you do it?
Haven't announced yet. We'll wait til we know the sex in a few weeks from the panorama test and then do a joint baby/gender reveal announcement.
Rants/raves/questions:
im scared to step on the scale. Ive been eating anything possible to quell the nausea.
GTKY: What is the one thing you never had that you want for your kids?
Honestly I can't think of anything.
How are you feeling? How are you keeping your kid(s) busy while managing symptoms? I am feeling amazing compared to last week of June, all of July, and the first week of August. I'm tired, and I am not recovering from long days very well, but the sick stuff was the worst. I wake up in the morning feeling really good (after my half-cup of coffee), but then I end up pushing it too hard at some point, or all day, and I pay for it in the evening with major fatigue, short mood swings, and overall body aches.
Just for fun: Have you announced yet? How'd you do it? We announced to family very early. My sister knew when the second line showed up. My parents and brother knew around 7 weeks when I did the triathlon (more for safety and assurance people were aware I wasn't doggin' it
Rants/raves/questions: I'm kind of annoyed at my schedule right now because I end up not eating a meal until I'm TOO hungry, and then I eat quick, easy crap rather than my healthful meals that make me feel good. The crap is good for immediate satiety, but then I feel gross for the next 5 hours or whole next day. I need to figure out my schedule this next week so I do better with this!
GTKY: What is the one thing you never had that you want for your kids? This might sound odd to someone who didn't have this experience, but bear with me. My dad's dad was a serious alcoholic with significant issues that led my dad to have a pretty isolated childhood and challenging life experiences. He died when I was a baby and it devastated my family because the disease took over his life. My mom was with my dad when he lost his dad, and the whole experience made them very anti-drinking in front of children. I can completely respect the choice, and based on their experiences, I don't know if I would have done it differently; however, I want to do differently for my kids given my own experiences. My parents villainized drinking to a level that made it hard for me to develop a healthy relationship with it in my early adult life. I had some rocky experiences with it, and part of me wishes my parents would have modeled responsible drinking. I realize everyone has vastly different experiences with this, but that's where my head is at!
@pettycrocker my DD's pregnancy was very much like this one (with this one being a bit worse), and my DS's was much easier. With DD and this one, I have acne, MS, and my appetite is insatiable, but carbs are #1. With DS, I craved red meat...and I don't usually eat red meat. All reasons why I'm going to guess that I'm having a girl, but I've been wrong before!
@heatherdubrow we're looking at houses in our community, so it won't be a big move, but I'm really having a hard time with the idea of moving my kids away from our neighborhood where they have little friends! I like your "do it differently" plan!
@ladybugsamom your sister sounds like she needs a lesson in empathy--holy buckets. I'm sorry she doesn't realize what it means to support her sister!
@amylonghorn we transitioned DD when she was 23 months old to a toddler bed (which was really just a box spring and mattress on the floor so it was close to the ground). She came with me to pick out a mattress (and she said her bedtime prayers on each mattress she tried--I melted), and then she came with me to pick out her new bedding. The excitement about the bedding and bed was huge and she transitioned really easily. DS is 22 months now and I'm dreading the transition because he's a rascal. We'll keep him in his crib until he starts climbing out or maybe sometime next spring... My kids share a room, so I'm sure DD would remind DS to get back in bed, but I can also see it getting a little wild when they should be trying to sleep
@megpeg what kind of protein do you like? Do you like eggs (scrambled, hard boiled, etc.)? Maybe a tasty protein shake before bed would work? I'm loving my chocolate, PB, and banana smoothies in the morning. They're like a treat, but they have a great macronutrient balance. If you need to cut the banana, that's easy enough and it's still great!
@mdfarmchick pipe cleaners? My DD and DS will sit and play with pipe cleaners forever. I took out a strainer and DD would make designs with the pipe cleaners using the holes in the strainer (upside down). Pom poms can be a nuisance because they end up everywhere, but those are fun, too. Other than that, play-doh, sticker books, white board/dry erase books with activities, etc. have all been helpful for me when I've needed low key activities!
@isntthatspeshul how far along are you again? I'm sorry you're in the thick of yucky first tri symptoms--I hope they go away or at least ease up for you soon!
I am so exhausted. I could just sleep all the time. I feel so lazy because I spend most of the day just playing with DS and not doing housework, and then I'll have like an hour where I have a burst of energy and I get a lot done. But I feel like sitting around when I feel tired makes it worse and I just need to get out and go for walks or take DS to the park, but I also feel like I need to just be ok with it and relax.
Managing DS has been rough the last few days because I think his teething is really starting to bug him. He's got two teeth that are like 80% out. He's been really clingy and crying/complaining way more than normal. It just adds to my exhaustion!
Weve told our parents and siblings... mostly everyone is close so when we saw them we had DS just wear a Big Bro shirt when they came over. We're going to start telling our close friends soon, probably the same way for people we live close to. I am excited to announce on social media because I think it's so fun!! We did a baseball theme with DS and we wanted to incorporate something similar but now DH is saying he thinks we should do something completely different so we'll see!! I have a serious nonstop bloat and I look so friggin pregnant at 9 weeks already that I'm just ready to share the news now. I am super nervous about a loss though so I don't want to get ahead of myself. DH is also very serious about not sharing before 13 weeks.
RAVES. Omg my MIL. We moved recently to be closer to family and now she's like a constant presence in my life. Today she showed up with ice cream and cones to give DS a treat and she seemed very irritated and surprised that I firmly told her no. He had a treat like that on Tuesday and doesn't need one two days later, especially considering how picky he is, he probably wouldn't eat any of his dinner tonight after that. DH and I decided we were putting our foot down with her and desserts and this was the first time I actually did. I feel bad and awesome at the same time!
I never had routines and stability. My parents divorced when I was 1. My mom worked 2-3 jobs all the time and mostly worked overnights. She's a saint and an amazing mother, but because of her single-mom circumstances we never sat down to dinner, we moved probably 15 times before I left for college, and we didn't have a lot of adult supervision. That has always been a huge motivator to be a SAHM... I want to provide my kids with those experiences I never had. I want to be on the PTA and bake for the bake sale and volunteer for field trips. I want to make dinner every night and be home to make sure they do chores and their homework. My mom was so great in different ways, and I wouldn't be where I am without her, but not having all of that has always made me hope I could provide a more wholesome experience for my kids.
@pettycrocker I only have a boy so far but my pregnancy has been identical to number one and I would drop dead if I found out it was a girl lol. I guess we'll see! Fingers crossed for a boy for you!
@mdfarmchick I had to wear a mens tshirt during my first pregnancy for a work event and it's so unflattering! I say go for the maternity shirt! Who cares if it's not a perfect match... you'll feel much more confident in yourself with something that fits well, especially at a crowded place like Disney!
Remind us, how many kids you have and their ages!
One DS and he's 13 months now wahhh
How are you feeling? How are you keeping your kid(s) busy while managing symptoms?
Now that I am almost into the second tri, I am feeling great! Much more energized and not nauseous! I'm so thankful! DS and I have also been able to get out and do things so that makes both us more happy!
Just for fun: Have you announced yet? How'd you do it?
We told our family and close friends at DS's first birthday party with a tshirt. We'll share on social media sometime in the next month!
Rants/raves/questions:
Anyone else still breastfeeding??? We're still going strong here but my nips hurt when he latches!
Also, I know we've discussed strollers already but I cannot decide on a double stroller and it's stressing me out...
GTKY: What is the one thing you never had that you want for your kids?
I would love a more open relationship about the tough stuff (sex, relationships, etc.)
@scoogy19 haha you are right. She's just being so ridiculous. Do you have double strollers you are trying to decide between??
8 and 3
How are you feeling? How are you keeping your kid(s) busy while managing symptoms?
Today I'm ok. Nausea, migraines, and exhaustion still like to creep up on me though. They're playing on their own 95% of the time that it's just them and I. Once Dad gets home he comes to their rescue and they get tons of outside time! Whew.
Just for fun: Have you announced yet? How'd you do it?
We haven't announced. We are taking pictures in the next few days (whenever the weather decides to cooperate that is) and at that time we will tell the kids! Family will find out within a few days of that. General public I'm still undecided. Maybe 16 weeks, maybe after our anatomy scan at 20, maybe at birth! Depends on my PGAL mind.
Rants/raves/questions:
School is 2 weeks away and I'm so not ready for either kiddo to go, we haven't done near what we usually do with me not feeling well and DH's company getting super busy. I really wanted to do a lot these last two weeks, but with what energy and time??? Ahhh!
DD was talking about our friend that is having a baby. I asked her if she wanted a baby at her house and she said, "yes, I want a boy baby for *brother* so he has a friend." So so sweet, she's only 3!
GTKY: What is the one thing you never had that you want for your kids?
This is probably cheesy, but a Dad. My Dad bailed when my Mom got pregnant and I was always so envious of my friends who had Dads, especially the ones that were so close with their Dads. Fortunately my husband is such a great Daddy, everything he does is for them. He works these awful hours, 7 days a week, for them. He had a Dad, but he was (still is) an alcoholic and was in and out of his life. When we got pregnant with our son we both talked about what we wanted for our kids/family and he said he never wanted them to not have a Dad around and he doesn't ever want them to see him drunk as that's the only memories he has of his Dad. Drunk on their birthdays, drunk on Christmas morning, everything special moment, drunk. We agreed that day our kids would never see us drunk and their birthdays would be alcohol free.

How are you feeling/keeping kids busy? I feel like crap. Daycare keeps my kid busy during the week as I work full time, weekends I try to do outdoor things as much as possible to tire her out!
Rants/raves/questions: rant-first trimester is hard
GTKY: I was very blessed growing up ... maybe the only things are, as someone else mentioned, a more open relationship about periods, sex, drinking....and providing my daughter with more 'life' skills, financial, cooking, cleaning...sounds silly, but I wish I was better at 'adulting' with that kind of stuff!
DD is 5 and DS is 3
How are you feeling? How are you keeping your kid(s) busy while managing symptoms?
I got some days off from nausea and now it's back and accompanied by a strong gag reflex. My poor kids. I had stuff to make them tacos for dinner but couldn't get off the couch. So they chose cereal and I let them. Thankfully DD started kindergarten so she's busy. But DS gets waaaayyy too much TV time. We do lots of snuggling.
Just for fun: Have you announced yet? How'd you do it?
Not yet. I'm 9 weeks tomorrow.
Rants/raves/questions:
Just over being nauseous and tired. We're moving this month so I kind of need to be on my game to pack and get stuff done.
GTKY: What is the one thing you never had that you want for your kids?
Not a whole lot. I'm grateful for great parents. Maybe just more family trips and adventures together. We were very poor and there were four kids, so we barely traveled. When we did, it was low budget stuff like camping. I loved camping and keeping it simple - I want more of that for my kids.
I have one daughter, 2.5 years old.
How are you feeling? How are you keeping your kid(s) busy while managing symptoms?
I'm feeling better, but still have zero tolerance for heat, so we've been indoors much more than I'd prefer. Before getting pregnant, I'd take her to a park pretty much every day. I feel guilty.
Just for fun: Have you announced yet? How'd you do it?
Family knows, but no one else does. We had our daughter wear a "big sister" shirt.
Rants/raves/questions:
My daughter isn't potty trained (not for lack of trying!) and I'm worried that she either a) will still be in diapers when the next baby arrives, or b) will be potty trained and then regress when the next baby arrives.
GTKY: What is the one thing you never had that you want for your kids?
A dad. I was raised by a single mom.
I have a son, he's just over 2
How are you feeling? How are you keeping your kid(s) busy while managing symptoms?
I'm exhausted still, but the nausea is getting slightly better. Turns out I'm slightly anemic, so I'm trying to eat more iron rich foods to help with the exhaustion. Daycare keeps my son busy most of the day during the week (I work full time). Otherwise I've been relying on my husband a lot. Luckily, my son is out of his mommy only phase and has moved on to daddy only. I'm welcoming the break.
Just for fun: Have you announced yet? How'd you do it?
A very limited amount of people know. My parents, ILs, BIL know, 3 close friends and a few people at work just so they know why I'm out for so many appointments and really dragging. One of my friends literally guessed, and I decided not to lie about it. I (or we) just told them, no special announcements.
Rants/raves/questions:
We're traveling a couple times in September, including what promises to be a looooong car drive next weekend. I really hope I'm feeling better by then. We're actually only going somewhere that's typically 2 hours away, but with Labor Day traffic I expect it to be a disaster (luckily my son is staying home with his grandparents). Then in 3 weeks we're flying with our son, and I just really hope he's so excited about being on a plane he doesn't melt down since the flight is essentially his nap time.
GTKY: What is the one thing you never had that you want for your kids?
Siblings (which I'm clearly doing). I'm an only child. I see how close my husband and his brother are and I want to make sure my son has something like that too.
Pregnant with #2:
@HappyMonkey817 it's really not that bad, just sore sometimes! He's not showing any signs of being ready to wean and in fact nursed 7 times today haha! Sooo... iron nipples here I come! Hopefully it helps with not being sore with the new baby!
@brettanomyces lol glad to hear there's someone else!! I've always wanted to go for as long as I could! DSs new thing is to nurse while standing.... which means I look like an actual cow.

Spontaneous pregnancy #4= Ectopic #3
Spontaneous pregnancy #5= Baby #3 is a BOY!!!
i had an abnormal pap before I got pregnant with DD, had a colposcopy and biopsy and the high grading led to a LEEP. When I was pregnant with DD, I had another abnormal one. They gave me the choice to do the colposcopy and biopsy then or after the baby was born. knowing my past, I did it then and it was graded low. we waited til after the baby was born to check again and I ended up not needing any further treatment. I get checked every 6 months but have had no issues since.
