How far along are you? How big is baby? 16+3 - a pipe and apparently today the baby weighs as much as a hockey puck
How many kids do you already have? 1 DD
How are your other kids doing this week? Ugh. I swear, she's been battling something for 4 weeks now. First, it was the head bonk that sent us to the ER, then the next week she got a fever, last week it was pink eye and yesterday she threw up at daycare. I need her to get it together. Quick.
Rants/Raves? Concerns/Questions? I love feeling tiny human moving every day. It's not all day, but usually at night when I lay down. No questions that I can think of.
GTKY: Are you still friends with your childhood/high school best friend? I am still friends with my girl best friend from high school. She moved to my town my senior year and we just clicked. I am no longer friends with my guy best friend. We had been friends for 12 years and had a major falling out about 6-7 years ago and haven't spoken since. It makes me sad that a friendship that long was that easy to disintegrate.
Thanks for starting this @mrstmoose . I feel like my kids get sick all at once. When I first started my job I was taking off a day or two every week it seemed! *knock on wood* I haven't had to take care of a sick kid in months.
How far along are you? How big is baby? 19+2 - what!?! A mango or a hotdog. Those seem like different sizes to me.
How many kids do you already have? 3 1/2 yo twin girls.
How are your other kids doing this week? Doing really well. I mentioned in another thread that pooping on the potty has been a struggle and I'm getting so sick of it. I'm not sure how to help either. They don't even care after they've done it. Like they're happy to sit in it. Ugh.
Rants/Raves? Concerns/Questions? Anatomy scan tomorrow! I can't believe we're already this far along. It sounds awful but I'm ready to be a SAHM again even if it's just the year of mat leave. I'm really over going to work and dealing with people everyday.
GTKY: Are you still friends with your childhood/high school best friend? I was in a girls youth organization from age 11-20 and I'm still friends with a lot of them. I think also because of that group I didn't make really tight friends in high school or make strong connections there.

Shes doing pretty good, really bad at listening this week though. Still eating everything in sight, i think it's slowing down though.
Rants/Raves? Concerns/Questions?
Doctor's appointment on Thursday and i cannot wait! My anxiety has been really bad this week, i think cause movement is still really sporadic. Although we are losing the health insurance we have through DH at the end of this month, but the health insurance through my work should start first of next month. This will be the third insurance i've had this pregnancy and it's not even half way through. And it's completely different from the one i have now so i will need a new doc/hospital/etc.. I am so over the US version of healthcare. Freaking nightmare.

My childhood best friend was the daughter of a friend my mom made in Lamaze class while pregnant with me.They ended up having their babies 2 days apart! We practically grew up together and we still get along great on the very rare occasion we see each other. I still see her mom pretty frequently, but her not so much, she married someone most of her family cannot stand and doesn't get along with. Sadly she doesn't interact much with her family or mine anymore even though she's lives within 15 to 30 min of her family and like 45 min from mine. The BFF i made in elementary(and we went to school together all the way through HS) i still talk to a couple times of year and when we get to see each other it's like no time has passed.

Not bad. Whiny. Getting a tooth. Had fun playing with the urine sample cups during my appointment today. Lol.
Rave: anatomy scan is only a month away! It feels like forever and yet this has gone by faster than DD’s did. Rant: I’m still not ready for maternity pants (they keep falling down when I try), but my regular pants won’t button. My belly band works, but it’s still uncomfortable. I want to wear leggings all the time but I don’t like to wear them as pants unless my butt is covered and I don’t have a ton of long shirts. Basically I need a bunch of new clothes but it’s not in the budget right now.
GTKY: I am still friends with my bff from the time we were 5. We live in different cities and she’s single with no kids so we live very different lives. But we usually manage to get coffee once every 18 months or so.
How far along are you? How big is baby? 16.4... a grenade!

How are your other kids doing this week? Great we met Santa and had our Christmas pictures done!
Rants/Raves? Concerns/Questions? We had a independent gender scan last week and LO wouldn't open their legs. The tech was 100% sure it was a girl with the nub theory (which seems legit from dr google) but I just feel like I can't trust it until our anatomy scan on the 29th.

How are your other kids doing this week? She's sooooooo emotional & touchy & overtired.
Rants/Raves? Concerns/Questions? Meh
GTKY: Are you still friends with your childhood/high school best friend? Yes, actually. I had one real friend all through high school and we still keep in touch and gtg every now and then.
How far along are you? How big is baby? 18 weeks, artichoke
How many kids do you already have? 5 yo DD, 3 yo DS
How are your other kids doing this week? Missing me. I am traveling all week and I can tell on my nightly calls that DH is on his last nerve. I look forward to seeing them this weekend, but I’m not going to lie that sleeping in and having a break has been awesome! I actually look forward to short work trips.
Rants/Raves? Concerns/Questions? Feeling LO daily and I love it. It still takes me by surprise every time.
GTKY: Are you still friends with your childhood/high school best friend? Does vaguely following on Facebook count?! Otherwise not really but most of my childhood friends stayed close to home and I...did not.
How far along are you? How big is baby? 19 weeks, the size of a mango!
How many kids do you already have? 3 girls. 7,4, and 2 1/2.
How are your other kids doing this week? They’re good. Busy week of a school project and luncheon with my oldest.
Rants/Raves? Concerns/Questions? It’s been a down and the dumps week. My fiancé’s grandmother passed away Sunday. Looking forward to the weekend and doing something fun with the kiddos.
GTKY: Are you still friends with your childhood/high school best friend? I am. We still talk everyday.
Thanks ladies. It was just a very sudden and eventful death and he’s taking it really hard. They’re not doing any formal services so I’m glad we were able to make it (6 hours away) before they removed her life support and she passed.
@kyashley1227 sorry for your loss. My grandfather passed away very suddenly this time last year and it was very hard. T&P to you and your family

How many kids do you already have? DD 5 and DS 2.5
How are your other kids doing this week? Pretty good week so far, just exhausting. DD has been extremely whiny and crying when she doesn’t want to do something or gets told no.
Rants/Raves? Concerns/Questions? Why am I so exhausted. It seems like no matter how much rest or sleep I get I’m still tired all the time.
GTKY: Are you still friends with your childhood/high school best friend? Im still good friends with my best friend from kindergarten. She was my maid of honor and is godmother to DS. She currently lives in Arizona but is moving back to Michigan this summer, yay!
How far along are you? How big is baby? 20+1 - banana/venti iced coffee!
How many kids do you already have? DD is 1.5
How are your other kids doing this week? Good, getting over a cold, but highly entertaining. She now brings her shoes (and mine) and her snowsuit/coat to me when she wants to go outside, then beelines to the soccer ball to practice kicking - my dad and brother get a kick out of it!
Rants/Raves? Concerns/Questions? Pretty stoked that we might be about to move back into our own house. Not as stoked about the fact that DD can now get through every door in our house and we haven’t been living here to figure out baby-proofing solutions.
GTKY: Are you still friends with your childhood/high school best friend? Saw one of them on Sunday!
My 4yo son has been awful lately too with being told no. Ugh! Someone suggested maybe it's because he's anticipating the change of the baby. I don't know since it seems pretty abstract to him yet, but maybe that's why your daughter is acting out too?

Yes I’ve thought she’s been acting out for attention. Feeling exhausted all the time and have DS I know I don’t give her as much attention as I used too. DH and I try to do a one on one activity with her on the weekends. And yay for due dates twins!
