Guise, we (hopefully) find out baby's sex next Friday. I'm not excited. I haven't been excited about anything this pregnancy (except getting the BFP) and I feel so guilty about it. Did you other STM experience this?

I started feeling sick around 17 weeks and appendix burst around 20- and I was undecided on team green before it burst. I'm probably not the best comparison of normal emotions.

I think this may be something you should talk to your doctor about. Being so sick can really take a toll on your mental health.

I was excited, and we made a bigger deal with the gender reveal bc we didn't do anything special the first time. But I kind of did that more bc I knew it was our last and wanted to include N on the reveal.

Speaking of gender reveals, my sil and bil are finding out today. She's annoyed bc the grandmas won't stop asking about the gender, and she's like hey is anyone concerned about how I'm feeling?? I can't wait to know but don't want to pressure them either. I think they might be thinking of doing a video or picture to announce.

I have the opposite mentality. If I didn't do it with DS, I don't want to do it with this one, because I don't want to shower this new one more than I did DS. Also, DS has zero interest in this baby so far. He couldn't care less about anything regarding this child.
I also had some generalized anxiety about the whole "how am I going to handle all this stuff?" And luckily it's all fell into place and been fine. It's chaotic and stressful but that's mostly only because of going back to work. Otherwise, it was not as big of a deal. You probably should try to tap into why you're not as excited. If it's nervousness over sharing A, handling it all, going through another birth, etc...
DS1 was not excited at all before baby was here. He was not excited even when baby was here. But it was like 48 hours and he asked to hold him. Now he is all over him. I keep pointing out sibling pairs that are older than him- see how S and E are siblings and they play? Baby G will grow up and you all will be like that- he will be your playmate. He gets really excited now talking about baby G growing up and sleeping in his bunk bed or taking a bath with him.

I agree with this sstwinklinglites. You've been pretty miserable! How has the sickness been lately, btw?

You won't shower the 2nd more than A. Poor C usually sits in the rnp or bouncer while I tend to N for something, she's been getting far less attention than N got at this age. And N really didn't care about the baby before she was here, only occasionally she would lift my shirt to look at my belly. It's probably just this age.

Thanks ladies.
I have an OB appt. next week so I can talk to them then.
becole - I'm not nervous about handling two, or another birth or anything. It's more like, I've done this already so it's just not exciting because I already know what to expect. Maybe once I know the sex and I start buying stuff or pulling things out of storage boxes it'll change.
babylove518 - I've been MS free for about three weeks, so def. on the up and up.

Obviously I don't see gender at the u/s but seeing the baby move really solidifies it for me. I am a post birth bonder. I fall hard in love once they're here.

There are fewer pics of the 2nd kid. For #1, I took one almost every single day. I did do newborn pics with the same photographer. I do need to start reading to her more.
It's a learning experience and I wouldn't feel guilty for changing things up. Plus different personalities can influence what you do.
Another thing is you could focus more on the pregnancy the first time. Now with being busy with a toddler, it passes more quickly and suddenly it's your due date.

My memory may be fuzzy, but I don't think I was much excite with DS either. It wasn't until I started getting things together for him that it started to feel more real. Then he arrived and it was true love.

So I'm really behind and probably missed some stuff.
@sstwinkinglites I'm generally blah about BP2 I'm excited about the baby never a fan of being preggo but this time around hasn't sucked that much for me yet... but like others said you have every right to feel the way you do.
I honestly am not monitoring how much we do for 1 vs 2 I feel things will just be different and that's the way it will be lol
dogmama22 I hope you're moving day goes amazingly can't wait to see photos

A picks her night time sounds now and she enjoys the sounds of the forest it's literally crickets and other loud bugs all night since my H insists on still listening to the monitor ugh
Ugh pregnancy. I think my hormones are a wreck bc I'm annoyed at the world. And the nausea is back and strong. And I'm so over the heart burn. That's all...

Complain away...heartburn was awful for me too. I never had heartburn except pregnant.
