Married to dh since 2012. Ttc journey: Miscarriage at 8 weeks February 2013 DD born march 2014 Miscarriage at 6 weeks September 2015 Miscarriage at 16 weeks, our angel Sebastian 1/23/16 Pregnancy number 5!! Edd 9/2/17 (my moms brithday!)
I'm so stiff and sore from only being able to sleep in two positions. I went to the chiropractor last week, but I don't think that helped much. I think I just need to get more massages. I just feel like I need to stretch my lower back but I can't due to the bump. I need to find some pregnancy stretches....
I'm driving for DS preschool field trip this morning. They are going to the planetarium.

I want to start nesting but there is so much up in the air right now that I don't even know where to start. We're still hoping to get a few major projects done and have our house on the market in June. I also don't know what to do with all of DS's old clothes. Since we're having a girl we won't need most of them & this will probably be our last but I'm not sure I'm ready to get rid of them yet... just in case we decide we do want another.

I'm just organizing all of DD's old clothes into tubs and storing them in our basement for now. I would like another, but don't know if it'll happen or not. I figure I'll keep the clothes for a while instead of getting rid of anything and then regretting it later.

I missed so much this weekend! caybeh I am so sorry for that stressful urgent care trip with your DS, but very very glad to hear that he did not have a concussion. mambo congrats on the house, it is beautiful! @wicky sorry that the new home plans have been delayed, but at least you have some certainty now. Limbo is the worst.
DD lost and born 9/18/2013 at 24 weeks (Trisomy 18) DS born 6/16/2015 (at 39 weeks 6 days, after emergency cerclage at 23 weeks and 14 weeks of bed rest)
DS has entered a new infuriating stage of toddlerhood where he is contrary about everything that he wants. "Pee?" - okay, let't get you out of your highchair and go to the potty. "No, no, no no!". Wait, do you need to pee? "Yeah" Are you done eating? "Yeah". Okay, let's get out of the highchair and go potty. "No, no, no, no!" (Meltdown ensues) (Mom meltdown ensues).
Had family photos yesterday and DS was so stinkin cute. I can't even handle it. The photographer will send us a link to the pics in 2-3 weeks and I can't wait! Here he is waiting for the photographer to arrive (excuse messy house in the background) POOF Skipped out of work early on Friday to go to the outlet mall. Got some cute stuff for DS and 3 maternity tanks at Old Navy for $9 for me!
Went to a comedy show on Saturday night, which was a lot of fun.
Going on vacation next week - I am so ready for 6 days on a beach with a book and no commitments.
Okay, better start working before they realize they can do without me!

salmon2017 , - My DS is in the same phase. Usually we come back around to the original idea without a meltdown but it's frustrating.
Me: Do you have to pee? DS: Yeah I go pee pee Me: Ok Let's go DS: No go pee pee Me: Ok let's not go DS: I go pee pee. Me:
ETA: Also, have fun on vaca! Ours is about 1 month away and I cannot wait. I feel like a little kid & have seriously debated starting one of those paper chains to countdown the days.
The field trip was done but the kids had 45 min of preschool left. Another mom asked if I wanted to go grab coffee across the street. We have been trying to get together forever, so I was like yep. I had contemplated getting DD from her friend's house but decided to get coffee instead. The friend that was watching DD, we switch childcare as needed. I've watched her kids before so she could go spend 3 hrs garage sailing kidless, so I didn't feel guilty getting coffee with this other friend.
I need to go get groceries this afternoon and then tonight we are going out to a steakhouse for supper. DH and I have determined that this steakhouse is perfect to take kids too. Endless supply of buns, free peanuts on the table, it's loud, and they have an early dine steak dinner for 8.99 from 4-6pm. Win win win.

I'm home again with a sick toddler. Was really trying to save my sick days for maternity leave...I guess I'll be working on vacation to build up some of those days...

I'm just ready to start feeling this baby move already. I haven't felt flutters for a few days now & just want to get that reassurance. At least I have another ultrasound on Monday & we can check on her then. I know I didn't feel DS until 23 weeks but it still sucks.
Also, it's a rainy dreary day here and I just want to take a nap.
I lifted weights yesterday and now I can barely walk. I have also gotten to the point that I can no longer run. It feels like my uterus is going to just fall out. I swam laps for 40 minutes on Sunday and felt great afterwards so I guess swimming will be my only cardio from here on out. I love being in the pool though so I'm not complaining.

I think we are all feeling the same way. I felt the baby tons for 2 or 3 days in a row and now nothing. It also scares me thinking about her moving and flipping around so much. My last 2 babies got in distress during labor because the cord was wrapped around their neck or leg. DD was white and not crying when she was born. It just gives me too much anxiety. Especially with as fast as my labor went last time. I don't want to lose the baby while delivering because I couldn't make it to the hospital in time.

I get irrationally upset everytime the kid is sick because it means one less paid day of leave.
I am doing ALL THE THINGS today and I feel very accomplished, however there is a limit to what I can do to prepare for a baby who won't be here for up to 5 more months so...
I did sign up for prenatal yoga classes starting tomorrow and I'm very, very excited about that. I haven't been since September and it's a good place for me.
I tried to get the food from the drive through through my closed window. So there's that.
It's cold and windy here today. DS has swimming lessons tonight. I need to find him some sandals/crocs type shoes he can wear to the pool. We will probably run to the mall this afternoon. Target and Wal-Mart didn't have his size.

Same. I used a sick day for myself because I was just entirely too tired to stare at a computer. Then the next day SD was sick. I feel like I'm just burning through paid leave.
I can make up some hours in the evening (I have a super flexible boss, so I am super lucky), but I am so exhausted that I can't do as much as I need to. DH didn't even offer to stay home today, he was like, L should stay home, see ya. Here's hoping he sleeps another 2 hours (we're already 1.5 into a nap...
I have cleaned the majority of the house, folded the clothes I have been staring at for the last week, and done preschool with DD and school with my older one. Now, I plan to eat cake and rest.

We've actually been rather fortunate. We have seemed to have missed most of the crappy weather this winter. Parts of our state had snow Sun and Mon. Maybe it will miss us again like it has most of the winter....I hope.....
I'm pretty sure I felt the baby with my rib cage today when I bent over. It felt like my ribs rubbed against something hard. I was like, whoa! She can't be big enough for that. I'm carrying her really high. Higher than any of my other babies. When I get bigger I bet I have lots of trouble breathing because she is all up in my diaphragm.
DS woke up at 230 for no reason, and stayed up. This am I said F it and got a large coffee. Too bad tonight is date night...don't know if we will make it to the concert.
