How far along are you? I am actually not 100% right now, but probably 5 -6 weeks How old are your other kids? DD is 6 and a half! Such fun age! Current challenges/concerns about being a STM+ or questions about things your children are going through now? I was seriously not expecting this, so a lot of concerns, we travel a lot internationally (family), childcare cost, working full time, having kids taking turns being sick, jealousy, my stress levels, again putting some things on hold like backpacking and snowboarding, finding a babysitter for a night out and just starting all over again and dealing with terrible twos again. So many things!
Current joys/successes/or happy thoughts about being a STM: Heh, I just listed so many concerns and I sound so negative, but it really is eating me up. I am excited to have another one to love and snuggle with, family holidays and just curious to see how this one is different from my first one
GTKY: what's you're favorite and least favorite thing about the place you live? I live in MN, it is nice and I actually like the cold. I think hot summers bug me though
@emjeve Yeah I know what you mean I have a few really close girlfriends online from when I lived in the states. But nothing beats an IRL girl friendship. I found a woman (back in June I think) around my age with 5 kids who also lives on a boat and we have been making the hour boat ride every Wednesday early in the morning (me and my kids) to go hang out with them all day. But they are leaving in a week. So I'm back to just here. Oh well.
How far along are you? I think I am 6 weeks and 1 day today
How old are your other kids? 5 year old son named Bobby and a 2 year old son named Kade.
Current challenges/concerns about being a STM+ or questions about things your children are going through now? The thought of having three kids and only 2 arms is really scaring me.
Current joys/successes/or happy thoughts about being a STM: This will be my last baby so I am going to enjoy this pregnancy to the fullest.!
GTKY: what's you're favorite and least favorite thing about the place you live? I am born and raised in San Diego. My favorite thing is probably that the weather is almost always perfect! My least favorite thing is probably how expensive it is to live here.

How far along are you? 6+5 How old are your other kids? 15 months Current challenges/concerns about being a STM+ or questions about things your children are going through now? Being so sick and trying to give DS the attention and time he wants Current joys/successes/or happy thoughts about being a STM: I’m so excited for DS to be a big brother. Also, it makes the morning sickness a little more bearable when I know I’m getting another sweet monster like him! GTKY: what's you're favorite and least favorite thing about the place you live? I love where I live in Southern California. The weather is perfect and we have a great community. Least favorite thing is how freaking expensive it is!
