Rants/Raves: I never regret the move to Texas more than this time of year. Fall is my favorite season and I moved somewhere where it simply does not exist. It has been coolish and cloudy, but I see all the sunny 90s in the weather app.
GTKY: What's your favorite Fall activity? Everything! I love playing in the leaves, visiting farms, sweater weather, drinking coffee watching the rain, ghost stories, harvest meals, Thanksgiving. Most especially, Hiking. I'm not sure this PNW native will make it very long in Texas.

Rants/Raves: My mom took me shopping today and bought me some maternity clothes. I'm so excited to have some staples that I don't absolutely hate!

How many kids do you already have? Ages? 3 kids: 13dd, 9dd, and 3ds
Rants/Raves: We are all virtual learning in WA right now, and have supple pick ups at the school every two weeks. My 4th grader has two giant stacks of papers and books. It’s way too much. Whenever the teacher has the kids find a packet, they’re all shuffling and sorting for five minutes. I have got to find some way to organize all of the stuff, so to Target I go tonight!
GTKY: What's your favorite Fall activity? Pumpkin carving! I’m a champ 😉 sometimes we get so busy with school and soccer and birthdays I the fall that we don’t have time for it. But not this year! With limited activities due to COVID, we’ve had so much home time that we will definitely carve some pumpkins 🎃

How many kids do you already have? Ages? 2 Boys - Ages 6 & 3
Rants/Raves:I have a love/hate relationship with Target. Everything seems great, in theory, but I can't ever find anything in my size or I get something that I *think* will look good only to have it be terrible. I bought a maternity dress for family pics in Nov, b/c I know I'll be showing by then, and it was so wide in the chest. I don't know how you could wear a bra with it, and if you didn't, your ta-tas would definitely be hanging out everywhere. Their website is even worse. Love their kids clothes although our store is always picked over. BLAHHHH
GTKY: What's your favorite Fall activity? We love taking our kids to a local pumpkin patch. They love it and it's a fundraising pumpkin patch for a local church, so we enjoy getting to give back into the local community. Oh and soups. Give me all the soups!
How far along are you? 4½ weeks
How many kids do you already have? Ages? Girl (turns 4 next month)
Rants/Raves: My students aren't showing up for their conferences, which is great because I don't have to talk to them, but bad because they were supposed to.
GTKY: What's your favorite Fall activity? Not becoming drenched in sweat just walking to the car. (I love Fall and Winter but I live in Texas so...)

How many kids do you already have? Ages? One, she's 2.5
Rants/Raves: My first ultrasound is tomorrow and I'm so excited! But, due to Covid DH won't be allowed in the office, and I don't know if this is Covid or not - but I'm not allowed to look at the screen during the ultrasound which I find to be really strange. Instead of meeting with doctor in person afterward, we're going to have a phone conference. I had to ask the nurse specifically if I was going to be able to at least get a picture since I find the whole setup to be totally bizarre. I fully understand Covid restrictions and respect them completely, but it still sucks
GTKY: What's your favorite Fall activity? DD had so much fun at the pumpkin patch last year. Hopefully we'll do it again this year and do some apple picking. I love making all the warm and cozy meals and desserts.

@texas_t My appointment tomorrow is with our fertility doctor. If everything looks good tomorrow then I'll be released to my OB. They've been awesome up until this point, but I've never had an ultrasound experience like this before. I wasn't sure if this was the way things are done now or unique to this practice. The only thing I can think of is that an ultrasound tech will be completing the sonogram, not the doctor, and I know techs can't interpret or diagnose what they're seeing. Maybe they've had problems with that? Either way, if everything goes well tomorrow this should hopefully be the last time I have to see them!

How many kids do you already have? Ages? Two, DS 6 (7 next week) DD 2.
Rants/Raves: I work retail and my company is still doing a columbus day sale😑 I'm hald Native American and it really grinds my gears that they are so behind on the times.
GTKY: What's your favorite Fall activity? We go to the pumpkin patch on my son's birthday every year so that's probably my best memories.
How far along are you? 6w
How many kids do you already have? Ages? One son who will be 2 in October
Rants/Raves: I have the day off today and no plans! I will probably run to Costco for a few things then take a nap...really exciting lol.
We are moving our son in to a big boy bed today so I'm a bit nervous how that will go. Any recommendations? He is normally a really great sleeper and goes right down when we put him to bed, but the past few nights he has screamed and cried and just wanting one of us to hold him so I'm not sure how this will go.
GTKY: What's your favorite Fall activity? I love to go to the cider mill for cider and donuts!

How many kids do you already have? Ages? one 2yr old boy
Rants/Raves: I got a prescription for Zofran and feel like a new woman! I mean, I still feel queasy but I am catching up on emails and may even be able to help pack up a bit today with only a few dry heaves thrown in. I'm so excited!
GTKY: What's your favorite Fall activity? I love going to the pumpkin patch. There's one up the street from us that does a hay ride to get to the patch. I'm extra excited for it this year because DS is suddenly very into pumpkins and likes finding them on porches around the neighborhood. I have a feeling we're going to end up being that extra house with 100 pumpkins this year.
@spartan4life My little is similar with bedtime, super easy to lay down. We honestly just didn't make a big deal about it. We changed his crib to a toddler bed so it felt familiar. I'm able to give him hugs and kisses once he's tucked in and he loves that. Hopefully it's a smooth transition for yall.
No advice, but wishing you good luck with the transition from crib to bed! If it was up to me DD would be in a crib until college lol.
@spartan4life no advice but good luck! Our daughter will be 3 in a few months and she's still in her crib and probably will be until she outgrows it or until we need it, whichever comes first
How many kids do you already have? Ages? 3 Girls (6, 5, 1)
Rants/Raves: Had my first "appointment" yesterday and they drew blood, i asked how long it would take and they said 5-7 days...wtf..why do i have to wait a week! ugh..and cant schedule my first ultrasound until after that..the first few weeks of pregnancy just crawl!
GTKY: What's your favorite Fall activity? Black friday shopping, does that count? lol. Also going pumpkin picking with the girls and decorating them.
@gusgus14 and @caitb13 I wish I could keep him in it longer (at least until the new baby comes) but he started climbing out and I'm really afraid he will fall so big boy bed it is 😣

How many kids do you already have? Ages? one 2yr old boy
Rants/Raves: woke up with dry eyes and a runny nose. Worst mood swings today, had a temper tantrum to match my toddlers. Also turned into an exhausted zombie after 2pm. I don’t remember being this unhinged my last pregnancy. Bit going to the high desert tomorrow to celebrate our wedding anniversary so that is something to look forward too!
GTKY: What's your favorite Fall activity? Pumpkin carving, Halloween decorating/costumes, apples, squash, soup, crisp air, I love fall and I live in Los Angeles. I fantasize about moving somewhere with actual seasonal changes.
