𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? Energy and appetite making a comeback!! Huge win. However by 6pm I’m totally pooped.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: rant: it’s been really chaotic at home. We have had multiple issues with our condo and house, my car broke down, my husband had emergency back problems and then we were in the ER yesterday for stitches…feels like everything is falling apart around me and I’m taking care of everyone and everything. So tired.

rave: even with all the chaos above, I’m still just a little bubble of joy. Im so happy and thankful for what I’m going through and wouldn’t have it any other way. Hopeful for some pockets of peace soon.

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: scheduling the anatomy scan! Any advice for how to prepare, if any?

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? Not too bad! Definitely tired, but at this point I can’t tell if it’s pregnancy, my toddler, or both. I get dizzy/lightheaded occasionally. And I’m noticing I get winded more easily. But overall I can’t complain! I’m starting to make a list of things we’ll need for baby #2 (second monitor, another sound machine, etc) and it feels good to plan! I’m also feeling excited to decorate the nursery 🙂

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: I had today off of work, but my son’s daycare was open, so I had the day to myself. It was so nice!!! I relaxed all day and didn’t put mental effort into anything and it was much needed!

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Any suggestions on how to prepare your first for the changes that come with a second baby?

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: What's a skill you’ve always wanted to learn?

I’d love to be better at gardening! I’ve done vegetable gardens before, which come out okay (especially the tomatoes), but I’m not great with flower gardens/potted flowers.

routtymama · January 21

@emmaleekinsley How exciting! I’m not sure there is a way to prepare, but a few things that came to mind… 1) it can be a much longer appointment as depending on little one’s position, etc. it can take a while for them to verify all that they need to. 2) With my first two, the doctor did the scan and could provide reassurance with each check they did “I see two kidneys, they look good” etc. With my third, they had an ultrasound tech and I learned that technically they can’t say or verify anything. The scan gets sent to a physician to verify and that can take a few days (or did in my situation). In my case, the tech gave me a sense about how it went, but nothing concrete. 3) Sometimes they can’t see everything and you have to go in again for them to finish the scan. It can be nerve-wracking but it doesn’t necessarily mean something is wrong. Again, those babies can be in tough spots and won’t move or they move too much! 4) The print off’s can vary widely. With my first, we had a 3D image of his face. It was amazing. With my third, it was the 2D black and white situation. He looked like a very sweet alien (mother’s love 😜). 5) My husband comes with me to the first appointment and this one. (He would come to others, but usually they are so quick and the same thing each time that I don’t ask him.) It can be a really sweet and special time. I’d also want him there with me in the event we received hard or concerning news.

You might already know all this! It’s just what came to mind.

I’m sure others will have great thoughts and advice, too!

@bigworldlittleg When I was expecting my second, I remember buying books and finding shows about having a baby sibling (He was really into Daniel Tiger at the time and they have some great preparing and adjusting books/episodes). I remember we talked a lot about how the baby wouldn’t be able to do many things when he/she was born and tried to prep him for being a big helper, etc. I felt like we did a pretty good job talking about it and getting ready. We had my husband’s parents come to stay with our oldest while we were T the hospital and it was important to me that G (our oldest) got to meet his brother on his own. My in-laws were great and understood. (I just felt like it was a special moment and I didn’t want it to be overwhelming for anyone because G was meeting his sibling and the grandparents meeting their grandchild. I also wanted to soak up G meeting his sibling for the first time). We let G hold his brother (with help) and he was so sweet, talking to him (“hi, I’m your big brother.”) It didn’t take long before he looked up and said, “hey! He isn’t answering me! Why isn’t he talking to me?” 😂 Apparently, we talked about how the baby would take some time to learn how to walk and eat, etc. but totally didn’t cover the lack of language skills for quite some time! 🙃 We also got G a big boy toy from our second to him (it was a little digital camera - very inexpensive but felt so exciting for him!) G still talks about that camera he got from H. I also remember I took G out for a special treat when I got home from the hospital. It was a quick trip, but I just wanted some time to connect with him solo (I missed him so much when I was in the hospital!) I think talking about it and trying to prepare is good. And, there will be no preparing for some parts. They can be so sweet and gentle and helpful, and also so frustrated, jealous, and annoyed, etc. (my first loved being a big brother, my second was not super interested in my third until he was more interactive). But the love they have for each other is so sweet. My three fight what feels like alll day and also want to sleep, snuggled up in the same bed every night. 🙃 (we are working on putting them in the same room. They keep sneaking out of their beds into the others). It tends to be true that when the oldest sibling is acting out, it might be that they need more one-on-one time. Still true for him at seven with two little brothers. He can just articulate it better than when he was three. Most of the time.

TLDR (😬🙃 I’m so sorry I’m not more concise! I know it can be annoying.): Daniel Tiger was great for us in having stories that talk about preparing for the baby and follow-up that talks about when things are different with a baby.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: Rant: Reading through the parental leave situation in my state and with my company. 12 weeks unpaid. It’s frustrating that this isn’t more universally covered in the US. Rave: Husband is still being awesome! Not sure what I would do without him. Anytime I have even the smallest craving for some specific food he is on it, getting to work in the kitchen. 👨🏽‍🍳

@bigworldlittleg Gardening is so much fun! The science, the creativity, the watching something grow and thrive under your care. I found marigolds, sunflowers, and morning glory super easy to start from seeds, plus their great companion plants to lots of different vegetables. Just be careful with the morning glory as it can turn into a weed fast if not potted.

redseawitch · January 21

@emmaleekinsley I heard they like you to come with a full bladder for the anatomy scan. I’m sure your doc will let you know though.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: Rant - it's been so cold and yucky out, even though I'm feeling a lot better the weather totally kills my motivation to do anything!

Rave - now that my boss knows I've been telling all my coworkers I'm pregnant, so fun and nice having everyone around me be excited too!

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Anyone else's anatomy scan somewhere different from your OB? I was called today to schedule mine but not at my regular doctor's office, and I didn't remember them mentioning that. I know some of my stuff may be a little different because I'm of "advanced maternal age" so maybe that's why?

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: What's a skill you’ve always wanted to learn? Oh, so many things that I just don't have the attention span for (pretty sure I have ADHD but never got diagnosed). Probably the one I wish the most is sewing. I learned some basics, but actually being able to sew clothing/costumes would be amazing.

watermelonsunshine · January 22

Hi @butterflyhunny, my anatomy scan is going to be done somewhere other than my usual office too! They said their office doesn’t have the advanced ultrasound machine needed, so it has to be done at the hospital.

I haven’t heard yet when it will be. I read online that it’s often anywhere from like 18-22 weeks?

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? Some nausea and acid reflux from the pregnancy.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀:
It has been kind of a tougher week. I slipped on some ice and fell backwards and hit my head and back…the fall did hurt and I was concerned about if it could affect the baby, but all is well. Then the next day I started feeling sick and tested positive for COVID. Thankfully it should all be fine ☺️, but I feel pretty worn out. I also feel a little discouraged because I’ve been doing my best to avoid unnecessary risks (like I didn’t go sledding to avoid falling, and I didn’t go to a big gathering where I knew there was a higher covid risk…. but then I fell on the sidewalk, and probably got covid from the grocery store lol lol)

butterflyhunny · January 22

@watermelonsunshine yes mine was scheduled for 20 weeks, I guess maybe they fill up fast so they called today. I was most confused because I swear the lady who did my last ultrasound at my OB made it sound like she'd be doing the 20 week too, but maybe she didn't realize I'm older and need a more "high risk" scan. 🤷‍♀️

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? So much better. Though my energy is still not there. I had a few days last week though where I was just feeling weak/light headed and like my arms were jello. My mom picked up a blood pressure monitor just to check and my pressure was a little low but nothing concerning.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: rant... I'm trying not to be upset at my MIL. My hubby and I went out for a much needed date day last week and since my MIL needed a ride back from the city (2 hours away) we were happy to give her a ride back with us. However when she got in the car I could tell she was sick. Constantly sniffling, coughing and the occasional sneeze. She hadn't let us know before and I had just recovered from sickness (maybe COVID or just the flu) 2 weeks earlier.

Flash forward to now. My nose runs uncontroably, and I'm also coughing, sneezing and gagging on saliva/mucous. Just a bit annoyed because I'm pretty sure where I got it from. She's normally great but getting sick right when I'm starting to feel better it's a bit too much for me.

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: none

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: What's a skill you’ve always wanted to learn?
How to ID mushrooms. It would be cool to me too be able to ID and eat wild mushrooms. I studied botany so I'm familiar with most local plants but mushrooms are something I've never had the time to study indepth.

@redseawitch
I made my registry on Amazon with both my first 2 kids. Registry for baby #2 was mostly for myself/grandparents but the bonus is they give discounts for purchasing certain baby items within a certain amount of months from your due date. It helped me get better deals, even when I was just buying off my own list and no one else was. You can add anything, not just baby items, though only certain items will get the discount.

bigworldlittleg · January 22

@routtymama Thank you so, so much!! That was all great advice, and also nice to hear about your experience in general. We will definitely check out Daniel Tiger

And I also love the idea of having him meet his younger brother solo. And the idea of having younger brother get him a gift!! It will definitely be an adjustment for my son - he likes to do everything with both mom AND dad all the time! lol....but it will also be so special to see those sweet moments between them!

I taught myself to knit a few years ago and I can now knock out a scarf pretty quickly but I have never successfully created a hat or sweater. I want to knit the baby a little blanket but it’s been a struggle. My goal this year is to improve my knitting skills and make a beanie and a blanket for the little guy.

@tashaandpeanut

I've flown with my first two at 2 and 3 months old. They were great. The key is just to nurse (or bottle feed) a lot, especially during take off and landing. My first didn't take a paci, but my second did and they were both equally content. I would recommend noise cancelling earmuffs for the kiddo though, I think it helped them sleep better and also with the pressure changes. I just bought mine off Amazon "hearmuffs" We also put our babies in a wrap/carrier during the flight (not during take off or landing).

We brought toys that they could hold/put in their mouths and toy sanitizing wipes to wipe them off when they would fall and wipe off other surfaces. Our flights were 10 hours so it was a long stretch, but our kids slept a lot or nursed. The flight attendants are really great in my experience.

Also bring extra clothes in your carry on for the kid and an extra shirt for mom or dad. And more diapers than you think you will need! Bonus is little baggies for poopy diapers, we bought a box of scented ones but they lost their scent quickly and didn't really help. Isolating the dirty diaper is the key thing! It also came in handy to have one to throw baby's soiled clothes in.

I'd also recommend getting them used to being in a carrier before you are on the airplane (like in the week that leads up to your flight). Some kids love it and some kids need more time to adjust, on an airplane is not usually the best time to try something new.
