I just realized that my siggy has be at 77 weeks pregnant since it is still from when I was pregnant with DD. Thank goodness that isn't true, lol. I need to update that...

[flyinghorses6]

1. When is your first appointment? I have betas this week, an ultrasound on the 16th, and first appointment on the 27th.

2. Do you have other children? Ages? DD 13 months old and two dogs.

3. Obviously it's early but any thoughts on names? We have a list of boy names and girl names but we aren't even close to deciding. We tend to like more unique names. Not made up but not in the top 100.

4. What part of pregnancy are you most excited for? Scared for? I'm excited for all of it. Love once the baby is moving all over. I'm scared for the changes to my body. I'm also scared how things will change for DD.

[sweetieheart32]

1. When is your first appointment? Not sure. I think I'll pee on a couple more sticks just to reassure myself and make one for early July.

2. Do you have other children? Ages? DD 13 months old and one dog.

3. Obviously it's early but any thoughts on names? We have a few from last go round, but not sure if they will go back on this list. I like James, maybe Martin nn Marty. Girl names are harder...

4. What part of pregnancy are you most excited for? Scared for? I'm excited to tell people. Last time we waited until 13 weeks, but this time I am so excited, it's going to be hard to keep quiet. Most scared of having the 24 hour never ending nausea like last time. Also, rude and nosy stranger comments.

Edit because autocorrect.

Happy Monday, ladies!

1. June 21st. I was going to hold off booking it for a while because I'm still nervous about this sticking, but let my excitement get the best of me.

2. DS will be 2 on June 14th.

3. If it's a boy, we're stumped. We only had 2 potential boy names last time around and one of them has now been used! The other, I'm not so fond of anymore. We have too many options for a girl!

4. Terrified of how to handle a toddler and a newborn. I just can't wrap my head around how it works and feel like I can't possibly get my shit together enough for this. Excited to have a baby belly again. Part of me feels like I was drowning in the newborn phase last time around, so I hope that I can enjoy it more this time in a different kind of way, if that makes sense.

[shellbell]

I scheduled my first appointment for June 22. They would have seen me next week, but the times weren't convenient.

[cwatmack]

1. June 22, I can't wait! DH and I decided to take the whole day off and spend some time with DS.

2.DS is just barely 11 months and we have a 4 year old dog

3. Chloe was on my girl list last time but DS is named Cole so maybe too close, currently I like Caleb for a boy and maybe Cassidy or Quinn for a girl

4. I'm excited to feel LO moving around and I love telling people. I'm dreading the first tri nausea and exhaustion (I'm expecting it to hit next week). I'm also nervous about labor, DS was an induction due to low fluid that wound up lasting four days... This one has to be shorter right?!

4. What part of pregnancy are you most excited for? Scared for?
I'm excited about feeling the movement and I'm excited to see how DS reacts to my pregnancy.  I'm not looking forward to my pregnancy F-ing up my body lol..... I guess I'll work on that bikini bod some other time........ lol.

It sounds like a few of us will be going in on the 21st/22nd:)

[tiffw2012]

1. When is your first appointment?  I'll go in June 29 to see my OB and have an ultrasound and will also be given a confirmed date.


2. Do you have other children? Ages? DD 13 months


3. Obviously it's early but any thoughts on names?  DD is Julia Rose and I love love her name. I'm a big fan of classic/timeless names.  Even though it is always pretty high on the popularity list, I really like Emily for a girl. For boys, my husband is a junior and would like to pass down his name which is Calvin Walter.  I'm good with that.

4. What part of pregnancy are you most excited for? Scared for?  
     Excited - feeling baby movements was some of the most fun for me.  I had a pretty tame pregnancy without any morning sickness, so I liked it for the most part, until 3rd tri got really uncomfortable.

    Scared - Balancing both babies for sure. I want to make sure DD still feels just as loved and special when the baby is born as she does now.  Also, the last week her sleep has turned awful.  I hope it will improve so that I can get the needed rest for this pregnancy.
            

[shellbell]

tiffw2012 my DS had a major sleep regression around 1yr. I hope she grows out of it soon!

[beachdreamer]

1. When is your first appointment? I have had two blood draws already.  First ultrasound with RE is 14th. I'm not sure when they'll release me to OB or when the first OB appointment will be.
2. Do you have other children? Ages? One son, 2 years (April 2014)
3. Obviously it's early but any thoughts on names? We are always throwing out names we like. Boys there are several. We have our girl name from last time, but I have since met someone with that name who I find kind of annoying so I think we'll be revisiting girl names too.
4. What part of pregnancy are you most excited for? Scared for? Looking forward to baby kicks and hopefully a big belly this time. Scared of getting pre-e again.

[lilyofthevalley]

1. When is your first appointment? June 27 at 8+ weeks. Seems like forever away!
2. Do you have other children? Ages? DS is 20 months (plus our 6.5 yo furbaby)
3. Obviously it's early but any thoughts on names? DH and I have very different tastes....it's going to be a process. And unfortunately a number of our back-ups from last time around are now off the table (became too popular, friends/family used them, etc.)
4. What part of pregnancy are you most excited for? Scared for? I'm most excited for those early kicks - such an amazing, reassuring feeling. Also, I'm to be pregnant in the winter vs the summer....DS is a September baby, and my summer pregnancy in humid DC was rough (I think we had a record hot summer that year too!). I'm most scared about the potential for another loss.

[amacbaby]

1. When is your first appointment? I haven't made one yet. I am out of town at the moment and will probably wait a week to call and make an appointment.
2. Do you have other children? Ages? 2! two-year-old twin girls that are very energetic and fun (my wife gave birth to them)
3. Obviously it's early but any thoughts on names? We still have our boy name from last time. We will have to figure out another name if this one is a girl
4. What part of pregnancy are you most excited for? Scared for? I am really excited to feel kicks from the inside. Also just excited for all of it. To be honest, it was a little difficult to watch my wife be pregnant last time (it was wonderful in a lot of ways too! I was just a little jealous) so I am excited to be on this side of things. I am really scared of miscarriage. My wife and I lost our first to miscarriage, and it would be nice not to go through that again.

Quoting myself to update: first HCG drawn was over 7,000 at 5 weeks. Hooray and progesterone was 30. Things are looking good and I am so relieved.

Apparently I don't know how to quote and reply mobile. Just wanted to say congrats - those are great numbers!!

[amacbaby]

flyinghorses6, Congrats on those great numbers!

[linewifekat]

1. When is your first appointment? I don't have one yet but my midwife is my boss so it'll probably be around 9 weeks around the first week of July.

2. Do you have other children? Ages? I have one daughter who will be 2 in early September

3. Obviously it's early but any thoughts on names? We have a boy name already picked out from when we were team green with our daughter and I have a girl name that I like but not 100% sold on it.

4. What part of pregnancy are you most excited for? Scared for? This may sound weird but I'm a birth assistant and seeing all of the moms give birth and have the golden hour really makes me excited about birth again. Also looking forward to my after (birth) baby meal. I'm scared about first trimester sicknesses. I wasn't very sick with my first pregnancy.

[enjoytheride]

Hi all! I'm going to make this my intro because I don't have a lot to say about myself, but here goes:

I am due on 2/3 with my second. I've lurked around on various boards because I'm a big wimp, but I am going to try to participate here! I'm a teacher, so I'm SAHMing for the summer, which is fun but crazy.

1. When is your first appointment? June 27th
2. Do you have any other children? Ages? DS will be 2 in September. He is amazing and goofy and while I'm home with him I can't even think about posting because he is a big trouble maker.
3. Obviously it's early but any thoughts on names? We have a girl name ready to go, but we used the one and only boy name we had for DS. H and I have been debating this pretty much since DS was born.
4. What part of pregnancy are you most excited for? Scared for? Excited - Third trimester in the winter, instead of the middle of summer in Texas again. Scared - Our family has such a great dynamic now with just one. Just hopping DS copes well.

[muggle910]

1. When is your first appointment? My first official appointment is June 29th!!

2. Do you have other children? Ages? I only have fur babies, 2 girl Pugs.

3. Obviously it's early but any thoughts on names? The husband and I have been wanting kids for a while so we've already come up with names lol. If it's a girl we picked Penelope Lane aka Penny Lane, and if it's a boy we picked Theodore Rex (whom my husband will call T-Rex).

4. What part of pregnancy are you most excited for? Scared for? I am honestly excited to experience the symptoms that come with being pregnant. I know it sounds crazy, but I am looking forward to the fatigue, MS, sore boobs, pretty much all of it! I'm very scared of having a miscarriage. I have never had one before, but I was diagnosed with PCOS and I've been told that the risk of miscarriage is higher.
