A nice warm bubble bath and a good book.

How far along are you? How big is baby?
4 weeks and some change... a poppyseed
(I hate that I find out so early)

How old is/are you other kid(s)?
My oldest is 5, next will be turning 3 in February and the baby (for now) will be 13 months on Friday

Nails and fails from this week:
I was organized and had everyone’s outfits and schedules down for this morning so we could make it to church on time. I was part of production and had to be there by 7:30am. Felt like I nailed that!
I fail at Christmas in general. Now being nauseous makes it the fail of the year.

Rant/Rave/Dear Diary:
I’m exhausted. I’m a SAHM and the husband works thirds so I feel like a single parent during the week. Then mix in the holidays and the morning sickness from hell and I can’t believe my eyes are still opening. I don’t feel ready to deal with all that pregnancy entails this time and all I want to do is cry and whine but I can’t because you know... I have other kids. Bleh

GTKY: What do you do to unwind and relax?
I listen to a funny audiobook series. My go-tos are the Stephanie Plum collection by Janet Evanovich. I also play games on my phone.

How far along are you? How big is baby? 5w4d peppercorn

How old is/are you other kid(s)? DD will be 4 Jan 19

Nails and fails from this week: Nail: Wrapped all my presents, worked out twice before exhaustion really kicked in, and went grocery shopping twice Fails: cancelled on friends twice, just decided not to make some of the Christmas cookies i planned, fell asleep during DD’s nap today and when I woke up she was out of her room running around upstairs. No idea for how long.

Rant/Rave/Dear Diary: just so so tired. And I keep going better not having any appetite to being ravenous and then sick by how much I ate.

GTKY: What do you do to unwind and relax? TV, video games, or going out for drinks with friends

Twinkiedoll · December 2018

How far along are you? How big is baby?
7 weeks

How old is/are you other kid(s)? 18 months

Nails and fails from this week: I screwed up a cookie recipe this week. Cookies weren’t baked through despite baking for longer than recipe called for. I think my oven isn’t as hot as it says it is. I don’t bake much so I’m just figuring this out now.

Rant/Rave/Dear Diary: my MIL went way overboard with presents for DD even though I told her not to get anything because we have too much stuff. I know I sound ungrateful but we don’t need more knickknacks. I can’t stand the clutter.

GTKY: What do you do to unwind and relax? Snuggle with DH and watch cheeses Nick Cage movies on Netflix. The more unknown and direct to TV quality, the better.

ElcaB · December 2018

How far along are you? How big is baby? 7w5d; baby is the size of a raspberry.

How old is/are you other kid(s)? Two

Nails and fails from this week: I'm counting survival as a nailed it.

Rant/Rave/Dear Diary: So much nausea. Yesterday I had to pull over and vomit behind a gas station. It was a close call, so I ordered some barf bags on Amazon.

GTKY: What do you do to unwind and relax? I'm an extroverted introvert, so I really like alone time. I put on my big fluffy fleece robe and snack while I watch TV, or read a book in bed. Hiking is also great.

ElcaB · December 2018

@Twinkiedoll that GTKY sounds a lot like an FFFC to me!

vvitchhazel · December 2018

How far along are you? How big is baby? 5+3, lavender bud

How old is/are you other kid(s)? My oldest will be 3 years old in 3 weeks and my youngest is 13 months old.

Nails and fails from this week: I don't think I've nailed anything except my husband this week. Failed our announcement to my extended family last night though!

Rant/Rave/Dear Diary: Why is it okay to not be happy for people past their first child? "I'm happy for them if that's what they want." "How are you going to handle three kids?" "Was it an accident?" What the actual fuck?

GTKY: What do you do to unwind and relax? Heated blanket, clompy slippers, and Netflix, book, or phone game.

lauriebream · December 2018

How far along are you? How big is baby? 6w5d, sweat pea

How old is/are you other kid(s)? DD is 3.5

Nails and fails from this week: Did at least a light workout every day and took DD to her first dance recital where she did great. I'm sure there were many fails but I can't remember.

Rant/Rave/Dear Diary: DH accidentally got pretty drunk last night (he was gifted a bottle of whiskey that is 122 proof and he didn't really adjust accordingly) so he wasn't as helpful as I'd like him to be when I'm feeling like shit. He's out shoveling snow now though so I guess he's forgiven.

GTKY: What do you do to unwind and relax? Usually wine. Now either reading or watching reality TV.

WinchesterGirl · December 2018

@ElcaB which barf bags did you pick? I'm trying to decide and there are a surprising number of options for something that seems straightforward.

How far along are you? How big is baby? 6w2d, the size of a match head.

How old is/are you other kid(s)? 22 months

Nails and fails from this week: Failing in the sex area. Every time I think, hey maybe tonight? I'm exhausted or feeling like puking by the time we actually have time. Whomp whomp.

Rant/Rave/Dear Diary: Just doing Christmas cooking today. Lemon bars & prepping my rolls today to bake tomorrow. I have to make roughly 80 rolls. I don't even like 80 people. Sigh.

GTKY: What do you do to unwind and relax? Read trashy romance novels, nightly soak in the tub... the usual!

EmilyA724 · December 2018

@vvitchhazel I hear you on the announcement. I’m nervous to tell my mom because even though every time I told her about my plans for law school she would ask me about having a second and remind me “that I’m not too old”, I know now that I am pregnant she’s going to just keep saying “but what about law school? I already told all my friends you were going”

parrothead78 · December 2018

Nails and fails from this week:
Nails: Made it through the holidays with people not finding out I’m pregnant, that I don’t want to know yet.
Fails: I got a lot of wine for Christmas because people don’t know I’m pregnant 😂🤷🏼‍♀️

Rant/Rave/Dear Diary: I am a little peeved my first dr appointment is 1 day before I’m 9 weeks. I am just anxious and want to see that little bean.
