Re: STM+ Check in w/o 9/25
How many kids do you already have? Ages? 3 1/2 yo twin girls
How are your other kids doing this week? Great!!! I finally convinced our dayhome lady that they don't need to be in pull ups anymore and they are good in panties. I get it, it's gotta be annoying for her to deal with a bunch of kids potty training, but being in pull ups this long has really set them back. But they are doing so great!
Rants/Raves? Concerns/Questions? My NT scan is this afternoon and I am counting the minutes. It is going to be a long day. I'd love to see that little heartbeat again.
What autumnal activity are you looking forward to with your current kiddo(s)? We usually hit the corn maze when they have all their pumpkins ready to be picked! I love crunching around in the leaves.

@mermaidca the NT scan is the best! I remember last time that's when it started to feel very real to me. Good luck!
How far along are you? How big is baby? 9w6d
How many kids do you already have? Ages? One son, 9 months
How are your other kids doing this week? He's pretty good, although he's been whining a lot, especially at night. He's super attached to me right now and is regressing back to cluster feeding so I may have to come up with some strategies soon... He's been eating so much all day also, mainly real food, so I'm just concerned that this is an especially long growth spurt or something and don't want to leave him actually hungry.
Rants/Raves? Concerns/Questions? I. Need. Sleep.
What autumnal activity are you looking forward to with your current kiddo(s)? He won't really know what's going on, but I am looking forward to pumpkin picking!
How many kids do you already have? Ages? DD - 2 next month
How are your other kids doing this week? So cute and sparkly and stubborn and sweet.
Rants/Raves? Concerns/Questions? I love when DD kisses my belly. Sometimes she won't even give me kisses, but if I ask her to give baby kisses, she will always do it!
What autumnal activity are you looking forward to with your current kiddo(s)? going to Apple Hill. It's nearby and they have apples, and pumpkins, and cider. We've gone the past three years. First year engaged, second year DD on the inside, last year DD on the outside. I really just like eating the apple cider donuts and then going to our favorite bbq spot on the way home. This year DD will be walking, so she'll be able to explore much more

How many kids do you already have? Ages? DD-4
How are your other kids doing this week? Hit and miss, I feel like some days she’s listening really well and other days it’s constantly repeating myself.
Rants/Raves? Concerns/Questions?
Mini vacation this weekend!!
What autumnal activity are you looking forward to with your current kiddo(s)?
Pumpkin picking/corn maze/apple donuts!/hayrides. We have several local-ish farms that do a while fall theme shindig. I really want to go apple picking too but we’ll see.
I’ll be happy when the temperature drops enough that we can do outdoor activities without risking heat stroke. It’s supposed to be 99 on Thursday! I am ready for winter. (Fall is CA is kind of a joke)

How many kids do you already have? Ages? 2 year old
How are your other kids doing this week? Just being a normal two year old.
Rants/Raves? Concerns/Questions? It's exhausting being a parent when you're pregnant. I need all the sleep.
What autumnal activity are you looking forward to with your current kiddo(s)? We go to multiple festivals during the fall, pumpkin picking, apple cider. I'm pretty basic during the fall
So many awesome fall activities, it's getting me hyped for the season! Now if only the rain would stop so my roof could be fixed...
How far along are you? How big is baby?
11 weeks, 6 days. Uhhh... a lime? I think?
How many kids do you already have? Ages?
One son, 4yo.
How are your other kids doing this week?
He and I both have head colds and he's been a whiny miserable little person in the mornings before he's had food. I get it, I'm whiny and miserable when I'm sick too, but on top of being pregnant I just can't this week.
Rants/Raves? Concerns/Questions?
My DH ticked me off this morning, refusing to watch our kiddo while I went to my prenatal appointment (he was "working," from home). But, it meant DS got to hear the baby's heartbeat on the Doppler and he didn't, so
What autumnal activity are you looking forward to with your current kiddo(s)?
Trick or treating! Pumpkin picking, going to the local corn maze... all of it. Fall is my favorite season, and Halloween is my DH's favorite holiday. He's impatiently waiting til our son is old enough to watch scary movies with him because I refuse.
How many kids do you already have? Ages? One 5 y/o DD.
How are your other kids doing this week? She great, but has a bad cough.
Rants/Raves? Concerns/Questions? Pretty sure my constant complaint is that I'm effing tired.
What autumnal activity are you looking forward to with your current kiddo(s)? All the things! I love fall.
12W6D - the size of a scoop of ice cream. Mmm ice cream.
How many kids do you already have? Ages?
4 year old DD
How are your other kids doing this week?
She's been really great this week except for the constant talking. She talks nonstop. All. The. Time.
Rants/Raves? Concerns/Questions?
I'm so effing tired. Luckily the nausea has subsided so that's a big win, otherwise I'm exhausted and unmotivated.
What autumnal activity are you looking forward to with your current kiddo(s)?
We have quite a few pumpkin patches around here that we frequent every year. This is our first year where DD is in school every day so I hope we can still make it to all of them.
13+0 - a lemon or daisy!
@wildcosmiclove I like the hummingbird comparison!
How many kids do you already have? Ages?
DD is 16 mo
How are your other kids doing this week?
She seems to have stopped screaming for attention...as much. So that’s good.
Rants/Raves? Concerns/Questions?
Eh, I can’t decide whether I’m liking or hating weekly ob appointments right now. It’s def breaking up my so-called work day (which is just trying to grow DH’s business and refine his smart but high-level ideas to make them manageable). I feel like there’s not enough time to get results from last week before I’m in again for something else. Also @kangstadt, I’m mildly annoyed that DH hasn’t made it to anything but laughed when he said “second child, right? Never gets as much attention.”
What autumnal activity are you looking forward to with your current kiddo(s)?
I really want to do a pumpkin patch photo shoot, so we’re going to need to explore some local farms and find the best photo ops. I also want to go apple picking and make pies.
@lovelybabybumpz I’m now trying to teach DD to talk to my bump and give it kisses!
@mermaidca yay for undies!
How many kids do you already have? Ages? N (DD) - 7 months old
How are your other kids doing this week? N's doing pretty well. She got her first cold ever this past Friday - was sent home from day care and feeling all feverish, congested, etc. But she's such a good sport, she was smiling and laughing anyway. She slept for fourteen hours Friday into Saturday (interrupted by two 20-minute diaper change/bottle wake-ups) and was feeling much better after that!
Rants/Raves? Concerns/Questions? None really!
What autumnal activity are you looking forward to with your current kiddo(s)? This is N's first Halloween, and while I want to do all the traditional fall stuff with her, I probably wouldn't have gone crazy about it since she's too little to really enjoy anything. But now that it's going to be her ONLY year as an only child, we're going to go hard - I want her to know she is special as an individual, too! Pumpkin picking is probably what I'm most looking forward to - and trick or treating, of course!

What autumnal activity are you looking forward to with your current kiddo(s)?
I love fall activities. Mostly because we’re too busy with blueberries in the summer that we don’t do much family stuff. So Apple picking, pumpkin picking, hayrides, cider and donuts, and of course Halloween. There’s a fall cider/donut tour (like a wine tour but donuts lol) in my county. So that’s my #1 to do this fall.
I feel like I should start option 2 in my county...

BFP 8/14/2018 #2 due 4/18/2019
How many kids do you already have? Ages? one 2yr old DS
How are your other kids doing this week? He's doing great this week. His speech is really improving so its getting easier to understand him and he gets so excited when I get what he says. I got him some new airplane toys bc I'm dressing him as a fighter pilot for halloween and wanted him to be extra excited and he's OBSESSED with them. Downside to his love of airplanes is that I have to watch the Disney pixar planes movie at least once a day. On sunday, we literally watched it 3 times. Kill me.
Rants/Raves? Concerns/Questions? None, just excited for my next appt. One rant is that i'm scared to get on the scale lol.
What autumnal activity are you looking forward to with your current kiddo(s)? We've got a corn maze about 30 miles north of where I live that is apparently awesome. They have a pumpkin patch and a bunch of activities for the kiddos. We skipped it the last couple years bc DS was too young, but this year I think he'll get a huge kick out of it. Also we will be visiting my parents over halloween so it'll be fun to see him dressed up with grandma and grandpa around.
11 weeks 6 days—size of a macaroon yesterday supposedly lol
How many kids do you already have? Ages?
This is our 4th
Almost 14, Almost 12, 8 (this one was a huge surprise lol)
How are your other kids doing this week? Lol as good as teenagers/tweets can be.
Rants/Raves? Concerns/Questions?
I look ridiculously pregnant because it’s my 4th and I’m only 5’4 and normally a size 0/2 (nowhere for baby to go but out and my body clearly remembers this all too well) but all coworker friends have advised to not tell work for as long as possible. So I try to sit behind my desk and carry notepads n front of me as much as possible, but I look about 5-6 months pregnant so it’s not really working lol.
What autumnal activity are you looking forward to with your current kiddo(s)? Next week two of them have birthdays so birthday week is always fun.
My son takes after his father when he's sick. I.e, helpless and so.freaking.whiny!
I can't deal. DH just left for work training and I just want to sleep. Gah!
How far along are you? How big is baby? 12+2 Chicken Nugget!
How many kids do you already have? Ages? DD 2
How are your other kids doing this week? She's good! Still a little clingy but she gave my tummy a kiss yesterday which was adorable. She says "baby sister" all the time but we have no idea what baby actually is. My DH got her to say "baby brother" instead yesterday so we'll see.
Rants/Raves? Concerns/Questions? I also wish I could nap all day long. And my pants are starting to not fit me, getting a little tight around the button area. The biggest complaint though is the constipation!! Oh my goodness if anyone has some tips that would be amazing because nothing is helping and it's causing unnecessary pain.
What autumnal activity are you looking forward to with your current kiddo(s)? First year DD will get to go pumpkin picking with us and maybe understand what we are doing. I'm super excited about that. And we always do a corn maze but we moved this year so we get to try out a new place which I'm looking forward to.
I'm 9 weeks, 3 days. A cherry?
How many kids do you already have? Ages?
I have a 5 year old son
How are your other kids doing this week?
He's doing great. He loves kindergarten and relaxing with me after school.
Rants/Raves? Concerns/Questions?
I'm always so damn tired. I also can't wait for next week for my first appt!
What autumnal activity are you looking forward to with your current kiddo(s)?
I'm excited to take my son trick or treating and hit up a pumpkin patch.
How many kids do you already have? Ages? 1- DD is 15 months
How are your other kids doing this week? Up and down. She's teething and sometimes driving me up the wall.
Rants/Raves? Concerns/Questions?
Nervous, DH is going overseas for 5 weeks soon and I'm wondering how I'm gonna survive without him. On the bright side, my nausea has basically disappeared and most of my food aversions are gone.
What autumnal activity are you looking forward to with your current kiddo(s)? The pumpkin patch! We just did a corn maze and it was so much fun.
DH will be in a remote village so hoping that his internet works so we can chat a bit.
