How far along are you? What size is baby?

How old are your other children?

How are you feeling? 

Any Questions? Rants? Raves?

How/when do you plan on telling your other kid(s) about this pregnancy/baby? How/when did you tell your kid(s) about previous pregnancies/babies and how old were they?

    How far along are you? What size is baby? 4w3D size of a poppy seed

    How old are your other children? DS will be 7 at the end of this month and DD just turned 3

    How are you feeling? So so so tired, nauseous, bloated. Third times the charm for pregnancy symptoms symptoms are coming in full force this time. 

    Any Questions? Rants? Raves?

    How/when do you plan on telling your other kid(s) about this pregnancy/baby? How/when did you tell your kid(s) about previous pregnancies/babies and how old were they? We are waiting until we have the first ultrasound. We waiting until then To tell DS we were having his sister. 

    GTKY: What is one thing you are most looking forward to again with a LO? And least? All of it. I can’t wait to have a LO back in the house. Least looking forward to diapers again we just got out of them a few months ago.

    How far along are you? What size is baby? 5w0d - appleseed (which is a huge jump from a poppyseed, lol)

    How old are your other children? 2

    How are you feeling? Fine; still crampy but not as tired tonight. Does not mean I won't fall asleep on the couch for an hour, though. 

    Any Questions? Rants? Raves? I submitted a massive report yesterday that dominated my entire summer, so my boss gave me a comp day tomorrow (I've been working long hours and through weekends). That means a 5 day Labor Day weekend since our office is closed on Friday. Woot! 

    How/when do you plan on telling your other kid(s) about this pregnancy/baby? How/when did you tell your kid(s) about previous pregnancies/babies and how old were they? We've told her but I doubt she understands. She just knows that Mommy goes to the doctor a lot (because of the FET process and I do acupuncture 1-2x/week). When my second beta came back, we all told the baby "good job!"  :D

    GTKY: What is one thing you are most looking forward to again with a LO? And least? Cuddles! DD is still cuddly but only for a few seconds and then she wants to run around. I'm looking forward to all those newborn snuggles. Least looking forward to the lack of sleep in the beginning.

    5+4 and Appleseed this week 

    How old are your other children?
    3

    How are you feeling? 
    Tired and sore chest 

    Any Questions? Rants? Raves? None right now 

    How/when do you plan on telling your other kid(s) about this pregnancy/baby? How/when did you tell your kid(s) about previous pregnancies/babies and how old were they? As much as I’d like to tell her now that she loves babies…she will tell everyone! She is such a blabbermouth. I will have her somehow be a key part of gender reveal when we find out 

    GTKY: What is one thing you are most looking forward to again with a LO? And least? Everything. As a FTM you are so worried about doing thing right some moments slip by.

    How far along are you? What size is baby? 4+6, poppy seed

    How old are your other children? 3 & 6

    How are you feeling? I can’t complain so far! I usually get some morning sickness after week 5, lasting for a month or so, but rarely vomit so fingers crossed

    Any Questions? Rants? Raves? Just happy to see some other STM+ to chat with! It’s a whole different game being pregnant with kids already running around

    How/when do you plan on telling your other kid(s) about this pregnancy/baby? How/when did you tell your kid(s) about previous pregnancies/babies and how old were they? I’m not sure when I will tell them, probably 10 weeks-ish. The latest loss I’ve had has been 9 wks so that feels like a milestone to me. My oldest was 2 when I was pregnant with the other one, so she came with me for all my early appointments so I would say she “knew” all along but didn’t really understand. Now they are both old enough to understand and I’m not sure when l’ll be ready for them to tell everyone lol

    GTKY: What is one thing you are most looking forward to again with a LO? And least? Baby snuggles in the rocking chair… my 3 yo likes to pretend to be a baby sometimes but it’s just not the same :D

    @happynapper so much yes to being pregnant with a little one already. I can’t tell if I’m tired from her or from first trimester exhaustion. 

    Also loving the nice amount of us that have 3 year olds. I was so worried that her being close to 4 when the new baby is born would be a big age gap and I’d be an odd man out with that gap.

    @And846 before my first two I had wanted them to be closer in age but I found that I LOVED the bigger age gap… so much better for distracting themself for a bit, following directions, etc. And they still bonded very well, they are best friends and the only problem has been DD1 going to school and DD2 not being able to go with!

    @And846 I realize that mine will have a 3-year age gap rather than 4-year, but I relate to you worrying about being the odd man out--most people I know (including virtually everyone on my first BMB) have already had their second, so they've all got 18-26 month age gaps. I've been feeling behind!

    @happynapper thats great to hear that you live the age gap and that they bonded very well! 

    @Bababatty same with my bmb! So many have had their second and in person, all my close friends have lapped me with their second…and a few even on #3

    How far along are you? What size is baby?  5 weeks, Appleseed

    How old are your other children? 5

    How are you feeling? Mostly ok, kinda tired, constant gross taste in my mouth 

    Any Questions? Rants? Raves?  When I was pregnant the first time I worked part time and didn’t really work month 3 cuz I was puking on the daily…now I’m working full time so I’m worried how that will go….

    How/when do you plan on telling your other kid(s) about this pregnancy/baby? How/when did you tell your kid(s) about previous pregnancies/babies and how old were they? Probably month 3 after we hear heartbeat and when we’re ready to tell others 

    GTKY: What is one thing you are most looking forward to again with a LO? And least?  Baby snuggles and sleeps!!!!!  And nursing!!!  Least- hmm…I really hate grooming baby/toddler nails.

    @austinjl I hear you on hating to cut the baby/toddler nails. We hate it so much we hardly ever do it, which was a terrible approach because it means DD isn't used to it and fights us so hard when we do finally pull out the nail file.  :|

    I am 4 weeks 5 days, baby is poppy seed size. I am feeling very nauseous, emotional, & bloated. Am I the only one??
    My other children range from 2 to 12. 
    I plan on telling them around 12-14 wweeks. I am most looking forward to feeling baby move around. What I'm not looking forward to is probably gaining weight and feeling like crap.
