𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀:
I had an ultrasound this morning and finally got a clear picture of my little one’s face. I love getting to see him grow.

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: What was your favorite book as a child?

I used to love the book “In a Dark Dark Room and Other Scary Stories” by Alvin Schwartz and would insist that my mom read it to me weekly (despite her protests that it was a book for Halloween 😂). Thankfully my siblings didn’t get nightmares or I don’t think it would have made it into the bedtime rotation as frequently.

I also really loved “The Giving Tree” by Shel Silverstein and will be getting a copy to put in my sons nursery 💕

𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝘂𝘁/𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲/𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗸/𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻: Blue!

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? Really good, other than super tired. Our daughter seems to be having some sleep regression and getting molars, so we've had some 4:30am wake-ups and some 1am-3am/11pm-3am snuggle sessions. 🙃

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: My mother-in-law made a comment the other today about me being "almost halfway" and I feel like I'm entering panic mode a bit. I have barely even processed that I'm pregnant this time around (we're super busy and this was very much a surprise), so the thought of actually starting to get any sort of nursery space set up for him or realistically move my daughter to a larger room feels so far from necessary. I feel like I just finished her nursery and now I need to take it apart?! Any other STM+ moms feel this way?

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: What are some needs the second time around? We know we'll need clothes since we're having the opposite sex in the opposite season, but what are some other things I need to add to my list?

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: What was your favorite book as a child?
@peach93 - I loved that one too!
I also checked out Where the Sidewalk Ends SO many times from my school library; I loved the poems in it so much. There was also this random book just called "Cats" and it was a nonfiction book all about different big cats and I'm pretty sure I could still give you any random big cat fact if you asked. 😂

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? Starting to have more soreness/achiness in my lower back, especially at night when I'm sleeping. Broke out the pregnancy pillow last night and it helps somewhat but not a ton....

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: My rave is that we went out to dinner with family on Friday night, and my son did so great at the restaurant! He was content reading his books and playing with his toy trucks. We don't often go out, and when we do, it's hit or miss with a toddler, so I was super thankful he was happy and well-behaved! My rant is that I'm sick of thinking up dinners for the week and cooking every night and I wish we had a personal chef! lol

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: NATM

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: What was your favorite book as a child?

Ohhh, what a fun question! I read all of the Series of Unfortunate Events books!

bigworldlittleg · January 27

@dmcg17 The weeks are absolutely flying this time around! I had a moment last night where I was like OMG July is going to be here before I know it. 😲😬

I recently started a list of things we'll need for baby #2: a dresser for the nursery, a glider/rocking chair for the nursery, another Hatch sound machine, another camera for the baby monitor (we have one that can connect to two different cameras), blackout curtains for the nursery. Maybe a new diaper pail??

We're also going to stock up on NB/size 1 diapers, wipes, and I need to double check that our infant car seat hasn't expired (it will be 6 years old when baby is born, and I'm not sure how long they last...)

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: Rant - today was a super Monday kinda Monday lol, not horrible or anything but just one of those annoying kind of days when things don't go as expected. I feel like overall I've been in pretty good spirits but today I was getting really frustrated!

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: What was your favorite book as a child? Oh gosh I have always loved books so there are so many depending on what age! Definitely loved anything Dr. Seuss as I was learning to read (such fun reads!), and I remember really loving Courderoy early on too. As I got a little older I really liked books in series like The Boxcar Children and Babysitter's Club. And I saw a couple of you mention Shel Silverstein, he was definitely a favorite in my family too!

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: No rants this week. Rave is that it’s been nice to finally start telling people our news.

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: NATM

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: What was your favorite book as a child? I had a ton of favorites. The Little Engine That Could, Goodnight Moon, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, A Color of His Own, and The Rainbow Fish were probably my top five.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: Rant - did NOT want to travel for work this week but here we are. Rave - the belly is coming in and (though I know this isn’t the universal outlook/experience) it’s so fascinating for me to watch it grow!

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Has anyone done nursery furniture shopping at IKEA? Recommendations for shelves, cribs, etc there?

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: What was your favorite book as a child?
Someone on here said A Series of Unfortunate Events and YES! Although my mom still complains that she doesn’t know how a kid could read something so depressing.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: Other than being sick it’s been a pretty good, normal week. Nothing to report on.

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: NATM

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: What was your favorite book as a child? I was a huge fan of Junie. B Jones. I had/read all of them at the time. I was a bit obsessed haha. I also read a lot of what others here have read, A Series of Unfortunate Events, In A Dark Dark Room - my favorite was The Girl with the Green Ribbon, The Boxcar Children. (I’m a big reader lol)

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? Mostly good! My only annoying symptom lately has been really bad pain near my sacrum. But compared to the first trimester I feel like a million bucks!

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: Rave - hello energy! Really loving having this back and being back on my normal routine with daily morning yoga and my teacher training program I’m in until June! We shared the news and my fellow yogis at my studio have been very supportive and offering a lot of help which I don’t feel I need right now. I’m also excited to be seeing a bump forming. 🥹🩷

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Has anyone started feeling baby move yet? I know it’s a little early for a lot of us or right around the beginning of the time to start feeling it but I cannot wait as a FTM!

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: What was your favorite book as a child?

I love this question! So many good books and authors that everyone mentioned! I loved Junie B. Jones, Dr Seuss & as I got a bit older the Shadowhunters Universe by Cassandra Clare. My husband and I both love reading and can’t wait to read with our little girl!

cosmicmclain · January 28

@tashaandpeanut Were actually going to IKEA this coming weekend to look at dressers & chests for the nursery! We have to grab some bookshelves for our office and have been eyeballing nursery furniture for a while. We most likely will just be browsing as it looks like some of our color choices may not be in stock (& we have commitment issues lol).

bigworldlittleg · January 29

@cosmicmclain With my first, I felt flutters/vibrating around 19/20 weeks. I think the technical term for this feeling is the “quickening”. And then I felt actual kicks around 22/23 weeks. At the anatomy scan, you’ll find out if you have a posterior or anterior placenta. If it’s anterior, it can take longer to feel kicks. Something to keep in mind!

𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝘂𝘁/𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲/𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗸/𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻: Not finding out… I think I am the only one. 🙃

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? I’ve been sticking to my workouts and it’s been making a big difference in how I feel. Still battling fatigue, but it feels more manageable.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: Rant (?): I knew February was going to be hectic, but it is way more than I realized. Back to back friends in town until my son’s birthday (13th), then we leave the next day for a cross-country road trip for a week. Rave (or bright-side): We get back the last week of February and a couple days later we have the anatomy scan. So, I’m hoping all the whirlwind makes the time go by quickly! I’m so excited and anxious for that appointment.

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: What was your favorite book as a child? I loved so many that other have shared. (I had a love/hate relationship with the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark - loved being scared, until bedtime. Those sketches still make me anxious!) I remember adoring the little house on the prairie books. I also remember reading Rebecca of Sunnybrook farm over and over in elementary school. When I was younger, I loved Imogen’s Antlers and Max the Bad Talking Parrot. I’ve yet to meet anyone else who has heard of those books besides my siblings. Not sure where my mom found those… 😜

routtymama · January 30

@tashaandpeanut We have really loved using the cube storage shelf for the boys’ rooms. We lay it on its side. Books on top, bins with toys on the bottom. It’s great for when they get bigger and can help clean by throwing toys in the bin and closing it themselves. We even use one in the play area. Full disclosure: the boys are rough on those bins, so we’ve done through a few sets.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? Better, but a lot worse than I expected to feel by this point. I’m still nauseas, especially in the evenings, threw up a couple days ago, and have less energy than I did in the first trimester.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: I had an appointment on Tuesday and the midwife, who I loved, scared me a little by saying that if my nausea hasn’t dissipated by 20 weeks, it’s most likely going to stick around for the entire pregnancy. I really really hope that’s not the case. I’ve been so beyond miserable and I’m ready to be past it

It’s also been really hard to eat, especially to get enough protein in, and the midwife mentioned that she’d be concerned if I haven’t gained weight again by my next appointment. Feels very overwhelming and very frustrating to be struggling when it’s supposed to be a little easier by now

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: What was your favorite book as a child? I was a huge reader and can’t choose just one lol. I learned to read with Dr Seuss and later moved on to Geronimo Stilton and Goosebumps, then The Edge Chonicles, Spiderwick, A Series of Unfortunate Events, Fablehaven, and I know there are plenty others that I’m forgetting!

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?

So much better. Some nausea still with certain foods, smells, or when taking vitamins. But tomorrow it will be a week since I last threw up, and I’m so happy 😂🙈 Mainly now dealing with tiredness during the day, trouble sleeping at night, acid reflux!, and anxiety about not knowing how to be a mom

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀:

Rave: We get to see some family in person this weekend and will tell them about the baby!

Rant: The Bump app article this week recommended a free pregnancy meditation/mindfulness app called Mind the Bump, but sadly the app is no longer available from what I can tell 😭😭

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:
Sorry if it’s already been asked but -How’s everyone feeling when it comes to baby names? I think we’ve officially settled now on a name for our daughter or son. It feels exciting and also such a big responsibility to choose a name!

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: What was your favorite book as a child?

I loved Anne of Green Gables!

watermelonsunshine · January 31

@sonjanae I’m really sorry you are still feeling sick

I hope it improves soon. That sounds really tough.

Mine suggested to gain a pound a week once I felt better (I lost a little weight from feeling sick, haven’t gained yet either)—I’m hoping now I can start eating more food like chicken—good idea on protein. It’s hard for me to not just want to eat pretzels or crackers.

bigworldlittleg · January 31

@watermelonsunshine There is a quote I love:

“There is no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one”

I know the anxiety about motherhood will be there regardless, but do know that simply the fact that you’re thinking about how to be a good mom means you really will be a great one.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? I have a lot of difficult things happening in my personal life, so I can’t tell if I’m pregnancy tired or just regular tired. Either way, I really need a couple days to just rest mentally.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: Rave is my daughter is so absolutely hilarious right now. She’ll be 6 in March and I swear each year brings more joy to us. I can’t wait for her to get to be a big sister.

Rant is I cannot bring myself to even start to think of baby items. I swear I have forgotten everything you need 😂 going to try to sit down this weekend and get organized. We have to do a ton of stuff to get both my daughter and new baby’s rooms ready as right now my daughter has a toy room and bedroom haha

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: What was your favorite book as a child? Oh, I was a huge reader. I loved a lot of the books mentioned. Some authors I don’t believe I saw mentioned were Roald Dahl (I was obsessed with The Witches) and Betty Ren Wright. I also LOVED The Babysitters Club. I loved Holes and The Giver when I was a little older.

Shout out to all the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark and Series of Unfortunate Events ladies out there!

butterflyhunny · January 31

@watermelonsunshine we pretty much had a boy and a girl name decided before I was even officially pregnant, but we've also been married 10 years so have had lots of time to discuss!

routtymama · January 31

@lalalauren15 Betty Ren Wright!!! I almost said that one, but was worried it was obscure. I loved her books. I checked them out and read them over and over again!

routtymama · January 31

@watermelonsunshine We have had at least one name finalized before knowing we are pregnant. Funnily enough, it has usually been a boy name and each time it has been a boy. This time it was a girl name we landed on first and so I can’t help but think it’s a girl this time. We quickly landed on a boy name, too, so maybe it doesn’t mean anything. I’ll let you know come July! I will say I have a note in my phone where I’ve listed names and kind of our name journey. It’s fun to see us sorting through it and landing on a name, then starting over the next time around.

lalalauren15 · January 31

@routtymama haha! I freaking loved her. The Dollhouse Murders was elite.

brittanny21 · February 2

@watermelonsunshine & @butterflyhunny Same for me and my husband. We’ve had names picked out for almost 2 years (I’ve always known what I wanted to name a daughter though). We adore the name that we have picked for our baby boy though.
