Re: Group 2 Check-In, Week of 01/28 (July 9-July 16th)
I always wanted 2. A boy and a girl in that order lol! We actually got rid of everything after #2 because we were so done. Had to rebuy for #3. Was done at 3 then got KU with #4 9mos after he was born. Was so incredibly done once again. But here I am pregnant with #5 so..

Upcoming Appointments: 2/4
How are you feeling?: Mostly better. Still tired.
Rants/Raves: I have been looking into child care this week and it is soooooo frustrating. I just want to have something pinned down and be done with it.
Questions:
GTKY: Have you always wanted children? If so how many? Did you change your mind at all along the way? Do you think you will end up with the number you wanted or more/less? I wasn't sure for a long time, and DH didn't want any. But as I got older I decided I wanted to try, and he was on board. We only plan to have this one
Baby is the size of a(n): can of Spam, apparently
Team (Green, Blue, Pink, Finding out): Green.
Upcoming Appointments: 2/13 for OB and maybe the prelim anatomy scan? It's at my normal OB, not MFM, so I'm not 100% sure.
How are you feeling?: Still way more awful than I was hoping. Cried last night because I'm sick of just feeling exhausted, but not the kind of exhausted that sleep would help, just whole body wiped. Also still puking every few days. It beats daily, but it's still no fun.
Rants/Raves: 1. I just want to feel better. I have so much to do before LO gets here, even just in setting up a nursery and moving stuff around, and I just don't have the energy. 2. I'd also like to start looking pregnant, just not oddly extra fat. I was a size 14-16 pre-KU, so that's probably not helping. At the same time it helps, since we haven't gone fully public yet. So I guess that one's a mix?
Questions:
GTKY: Have you always wanted children? If so how many? Did you change your mind at all along the way? Do you think you will end up with the number you wanted or more/less? I always wanted kids, although I wavered once or twice. I really wanted twins, but DH didn't, so he's happy. Not sure how many we'll end up with...

How are you feeling?: I’m extremely jet lagged right now but other than that I’m feeling much better.
Rants/Raves: gotta brag on my husband a bit! I went to Washington to visit a friend and DH was home with the boys. I came home to clean toilets, a spotless living room, cleaned kitchen & dishes done... oh and he took the Christmas tree down (finally!)
Questions: none.

I always wanted kids! For a while I thought I wanted 4. DH and I always said 2 for sure and we would see after that. We talked about being done after our second, but here we are with #3. This will be our last for sure, and we both feel good about that choice for our family.

I always envisioned myself as a mother, but it took DH and I a long time to be ready for kids. When we started trying, we went 2 years with no success. After some preliminary tests, we discovered fertility issues with both of us and assumed it wasn't in the cards for us. Just as we were accepting and looking for a childfree life, we got our BFP. Definitely took some time to switch gears yet again and believe that this isn't too good to be true. As far as how many, we'll probably only have just one.
Baby is the size of a(n): Jar of Nutella
Team (Green, Blue, Pink, Finding out): Pink
Upcoming Appointments: Check up with my doctor on Wednesday and then anatomy scan on 2/19
How are you feeling?: SO much better. I'm knocking wood, but my nausea has completely faded and I'm feeling a lot closer to my normal self. I have noticed that I'm way slower moving these days though, with everything from eating dinner to doing laundry. Not sure if it's anything physical or if it's just taking more mental energy now.
Rants/Raves: I'm feeling a little overwhelmed by the amount of stuff that needs to get done before this baby comes especially since I've had people recommend that I pack as much of it into the 2nd Trimester as I can before I start feeling worse again.

I’ve always envisioned myself having children but a little later in life, not quite as early as it’s happened. DH and I talked about 3, but after being so sick with both pregnancies, I think we are calling it quits after #2. I might feel differently once the mothers amnesia sets in, but there are some financial reasons that would hold us back as well. We want to give 2 kids a full life.

GTKY: Have you always wanted children? If so how many? Did you change your mind at all along the way? Do you think you will end up with the number you wanted or more/less? Yes! 4-5. Not really, I'd still like 4 at least. Depends if this one is another CS. If so, we might just have 3😏

Questions:
GTKY: Have you always wanted children? If so how many? Did you change your mind at all along the way? Do you think you will end up with the number you wanted or more/less? - I've always wanted children and growing up I thought I wanted 3. My husband originally only wanted 1. We compromised on 2 and I'm really happy with that decision. I think we'll stick to it.

When i was single I said no kids. When I meet dh we decided on 2. This lo makes 2, but not sure if we will stick to it.
