Current challenges/concerns about being a STM+ or questions about things your children are going through now? Potty training. Ugh. I have to leave the house today to play in the woods. All the other women have their kids pee on trees. I don't know how to do this!! lol. I'm nervous.
Current joys/successes/or happy thoughts about being a STM: I had an actual convo about ice cream with DS the other day. With give and take, and decisions being made. He's old now!

Juggling 2 when DS is already so needy. It’s going to be an adventure.
Current joys/successes/or happy thoughts about being a STM:
This may very well be my last pregnancy which is bitter sweet to me, so I’m just trying to take it one day at a time and not rush it! I’m trying to enjoy it much more than when I was pregnant with DS.

Potty training. Potty training. Potty training. Also just referred him to birth to 3 in my state, got tired of waiting for his pediatrician to agree with me! He's almost 2.5 and only has about 50 words but understands everything I say.

We are struggling with a GI Big at our house. We were planning on starting to potty train my DD but puke and diarrhea put that on hold. Thank goodness because I hate the idea of potty training.
Current joys/successes/or happy thoughts about being a STM:
My 5 year old is so sweet about having this new baby. I was worried how they’d react and he’s making me so happy! I’m also excited to see how my DD is with a new baby. I think she’ll take to him/her better than my DS did. I love those snuggly sibling pictures and haven’t ever gotten to have one because he just doesn’t love her that much lol.
GTKY : Shut the fuck up, you weird asshole (lol)

DS 11.8.12
Baby GIRL! due 7.4.18
How old are your other kids? 6, 4, and 15 months.
Current challenges/concerns about being a STM+ or questions about things your children are going through now? I'm wondering how my youngest will be with a new baby. He's very dramatic right now. That's really the best way I can put it lol. I'm hoping he's going through the tantrums and "terrible twos" early and he gets it out of the way before baby comes. I had my first two kids 23 months apart (the same age difference between my youngest and this new baby) and my oldest was the easiest toddler ever and he transitioned so well. I'm a little concerned it's not going to be as easy this time lol.
Current joys/successes/or happy thoughts about being a STM: I'm just so excited to be doing this one more time. This is definitely our last baby and I'm just trying to soak it all up and enjoy this pregnancy.
GTKY : Give me your jacket, you proud fucker!

My son has ADHD and his teacher clearly has no idea how to handle a child that doesn't fit in to her box. I'm having him evaluated at this point because I'm done with her nonsense. It's frustrating.
Current joys/successes/or happy thoughts about being a STM:
I know my kids are going to be THRILLED when they find out.

Current challenges/concerns about being a STM+ or questions about things your children are going through now? Terrified I won't give enough love to both kids. Since finding out I'm pregnant I have been having these irrational fears that I can't possibly adore someone as much as I do my son. I know this is silly and I will certainly love them both equally!
Current joys/successes/or happy thoughts about being a STM: being able to connect to this pregnancy finally. I am SO excited to be growing our family and hoping this little babe is what completes it!

I feel like my son is getting too much screen time lately and it's affecting his moods. It's been hard to play with him lately though because I've felt like total garbage and have been busy with school. I hope that once school is done for the semester I'll start feeling better and can be more engaged.
Current joys/successes/or happy thoughts about being a STM:
We still haven't told our son outright that he's getting a sibling, but we talked about the possibility when we were TTC and he's picking up on things because he's been talking a lot about "our baby" lately. He saw a little sleeper and some cloth diapers that I got and told me, "I wish we could put those on our baby". He's never shown much interest in babies so it's melting my heart to think that he's excited about it

Piss off you pathetic pig!

Current challenges/concerns about being a STM+ or questions about things your children are going through now? DS is teething pretty hard right now and bit TWO kids at daycare yesterday because of it and is also having trouble sleeping. I will be happy when all his teeth are in. Would be nice to be past that stage when #2 arrives.
Current joys/successes/or happy thoughts about being a STM: I get emotional thinking about how great it will be for them to have each-other growing up and how sweet it will be to see them show affection to one another. I know there will also be arguments and tough stuff, but just thinking about the sweet stuff makes me smile.

Current challenges/concerns about being a STM+ or questions about things your children are going through now? I am trying to figure out how and when to start talking about this baby with my daughter. Another girl in her daycare just got a baby sister and I think they have talked about it there and so she has talked to us about it. We asked if she wanted a baby sister too because it seemed like an in, but that’s as far as we’ve gone.
Current joys/successes/or happy thoughts about being a STM: Seeing my niece and nephew together is so sweet. I think my daughter is going to be a wonderful sister, she loves the babies in her class.
WTF are you doing you silly fucker!
3.5 years old
struggling with my DD who has been potty trained regressing and now pooping her pants daily - barf. I’ve no clue how to “fix” it.
I really struggle thinking abouy bedtime routine and how it will have to change for my daughter and that makes me sad- plus how the F are we going to manage bedtime with two?!?!? Since her first week home we have always done bath, dress, books, rock, bed. Up until she was probably 2.5 we did it all three together- now I do bath and daddy does books and bed.
im excited to see how DD is with LO- yesterday she kept saying “mommy does the baby make your tummy not feel good” as I was cramping so taking it “easy”
GTKY: wTF you doing silly dick face
How old are your other kids? 2.5
Current challenges/concerns about being a STM+ or questions about things your children are going through now? we are mostly potty trained. I hate pull ups because it makes it so easy to have accidents.
Current joys/successes/or happy thoughts about being a STM: DD was telling me today that she would be nice to “baby sisser baby brudder” and share her toys. We still haven’t told her that she will be getting a sibling
GTKY : move your ass, you bloody gremlin!

Current challenges/concerns about being a STM+ or questions about things your children are going through now? not really, I'm really enjoying the stage my son is in. It's so cool to see how much he learns every single day!
Current joys/successes/or happy thoughts about being a STM: I'm honestly so excited for my son to be a big brother. I wanted kids very close in age and although that didn't happen I'm hoping they will be best friends, especially because its another boy
GTKY : Shut the fuck up! You weird fuck face!
10w 3d
3.5 going on annoying.
No real questions, she's just been in a weird attention getting phase that's getting really old. Sometimes it's just being overly loud and boisterous, and I don't want to crush her spirit but DANG, other times it's hitting which we haven't had problems with in a year. I'm over it.
Since we're out of the danger zone with this baby, I told my kiddo it's not a secret anymore and she's telling EVERYBODY. She wore her big sister shirt today, and I could tell she's so proud. It's fun to see her so excited.
How old are your other kids? 17 months
Current challenges/concerns about being a STM+ or questions about things your children are going through now? How am I going to do this ???? When will I feel human again (I wasn’t this sick with my son. Will I Work or take a year off?
Current joys/successes/or happy thoughts about being a STM: giving our son his first real friend. Having a successful pregnancy so far !!! Fx it stays that way.

Current challenges/concerns about being a STM+ or questions about things your children are going through now?
My 2 year old DD is super clingy with me. She won’t let anyone watch her other than my in laws which makes getting out alone or taking a break tough. My 4 year old DD is so stubborn and headstrong and just is going through a tantrum phase. They are great girls but obviously demand a lot of my time and energy this little and it’s hard to keep up with everything I need to do, along with being exhausted and nauseous all the time. This is the busy season for my craft business so I’m buried in orders, too, and they don’t want me to do anything but pay attention to them. I’m constantly feeling guilty, whether I’m ignoring work or housework to play with them or whether I’m telling them I can’t play so I can finally get something done.
Current joys/successes/or happy thoughts about being a STM:
I haven’t told them yet about the baby but I asked my older daughter what she thought of having another sister or a brother and she said she wants one and would take good care of it like she does her sister. It was so genuine it brought tears to my eyes.
GTKY : It’s burnt you fucking donut
Just found my new favorite insult.
