I qualify!!! I'm 12w5d. Due 9/1. I'm so excited to be out of the first trimester soon. My nausea seems to be subsiding which is nice, but the exhaustion is still hanging on. I'm showing already. I think it's more carb bloat than baby since that's all I eat, but either way, I can't hide it. I'm not drinking nearly enough water. It makes me want to gag, which is no fun. I'm so excited to find out what we're having. DH wants a boy and I feel like it's a girl! We'll see!!!!
30 weeks today! Due 5/3. I can't believe it's getting so close! Overall I'm doing pretty good. I feel huge but I don't think I'm really any bigger than last time. I'm dealing with some insomnia so that sucks when it happens but luckily it's not every night. I'm also getting some pretty severe back pain. I think I'll ask for muscle relaxers at my appointment next week. They offered those when I was pregnant with A but I didn't really feel like I needed them. This time, I say bring them on! Haha! But really overall I'm doing pretty good. I feel like I'm getting around really well and I'm still able to do fun things with A and get down on the floor and play with him relatively easily.
I talked to my grandparents last night about coming up to help when the baby is born and she said they'd be happy to help however they can. Which is awesome since we're going to try to keep A out of daycare while I'm on maternity leave- I'm getting nervous about that but we'll manage.
19+2 today. We had our anatomy scan on Friday and everything went well. They did not reveal the sex so that made me happy. The tech told us that baby is measuring 6 days behind, but they are not going to change my due date.
I feel huge. My body widened so much faster this time around. I can't hide the bump anymore and I just look chubby. I have been feeling a little more movement and that is making me happy. I feel bad but I am just not as excited this time around as I was with DS. I don't know what it is.
I am 21+6 over here! I am amazed how the time is flying! Feeling pretty good, but definitely more sore all over than I was with J. This LO is sitting really low right now, but I hope she moves up a little at some point because I cant imagine how uncomfortable that is going to get later on! I also feel just plain bigger than I was at this point last time; I needed help standing up off the floor yesterday and I often feel like my pelvis is broken in two.
But we are more and more excited by the day to meet this LO and for J to be a big brother
I am 30+5 here. Feeling good, just a lot of annoying heartburn (but if that is the worst thing at this point then I really can not complain). I don't feel prepared, we have done nothing to get ready for this little guy. Not even sure what we will be doing with DD when I go into labor. I am scared of having 2. I hope I get more excited as his due date gets closser.
22+6 over here. Little miss has a 8mm left chorid plexus cyst on her brain. It's super common and goes away usually. We'll have it looked at again when I'm 30w. That has occupied my mind a lot this past week. I'm showing but clothes just make it look like I have a food baby. Haven't bought anything yet but getting anxious to do so.

38w4d here. Not feeling too bad. Baby can cook as long as s/he wants, I am sort of in denial and not sure I'm ready for 2u2. Plus I haven't packed a hospital bag or anything yet.. not sure if I even will as I didn't touch it last time. Excited to see if it's a he or a she. Despite having done this before I was induced last time and I am a little scared I'll be clueless when I go into labor. Kind of hoping for my water to break or some other obvious sign.

We will be TTC after we move (hopefully) this Summer! I can't try until I've been a year past surgery so I am not actively still losing weight and pregnant. So exciting and horrifying because I am now 40!
I'm in my 26th week. Feeling fine. Just passed my GD test and don't have anemia this time around. I'm pretty excited about that. I'm still feeling a bit terrified of 2 kids because LO can be a handful at times but plenty of people do it so I'm just hoping for the best.
I'm 14+2 and feeling pretty good. I've been back to working out the last few weeks and it helps me sleep better. The baby was doing well at our last check. She was able to find the heartbeat right away which was a huge relief. So far I'm measuring 5 days ahead and I secretly want to get the extra 2 days by our anatomy scan so my due date changes.

25 or 26 weeks (26 +4)? I'll check my ticker once I post. Baby boy is super active and I'm so afraid he's never going to sleep. Because he doesn't seem to in my belly! Either that or he just moves a LOT in his sleep. We shall see.
Lots of low back/sciatic pain and pressure. He seems to sit so low but still kicks me in the ribs. It's really weird when I feel a kick in the ribs and movement in my butt at the same time.
Going to my third prenatal class tonight which I'm excited about. I was so caught up in having to be stuck around work forever but I just leave work a little later than normal and then have a little less than 2 hours of me time. I'm starting to look forward to it. Plus the class is a great time for me to spend time "bonding" with baby boy.
You all are getting me excited to TTC in the fall.
ice61313 , DS had a couple choroid plexus cysts and they went away by the time they rechecked for them.
That's a relief to hear! I had a picture perfect pregnancy with Nora so this is different for me.
From what I read when DS had them, it seems that we are finding choroid plexus cysts more often now, in part because of more and earlier ultrasounds. And usually when there is a problem, there are other soft markers along with the cysts. Like, you said, they almost always resolve themselves. My doctor told me not to google last time, but I couldn't help myself, but what I found was mostly reassuring. I think DS had two or three of them, but I cant remember.

Yeah, I said in another post we wouldn't have known about this cyst if we weren't following up on another issue (which resolved itself). I shouldn't have googled. The bad is really bad but at least it is fairly rare and doesn't really meet our situation which is super good.
TTC 2nd cycle and in that 2 week wait bit (AF due, if my body is playing balll on friday). My fingers and toes are crossed as Its mothers day here soon (march 6th) and it would make the best present for my mum if I could let her know a grandbaby was due this year.

12+3, and feeling pretty good. I'm tired, and wish I could nap like the first go round, but that's so hard with a toddler, as you all know. My queasy feeling has pretty much subsided, and my pants are getting tight. Time to break out the maternity clothes.

I am 30w and feeling like a giant whale. I am much less active this pregnancy. I scheduled a repeat c-section for April 29. It made it feel so real and I'm getting excited
So exciting for all the babies! I'm just starting to push DH a little more. I would like to go off the pill at the end of this cycle and start trying in a few months. Just not sure how we are going to logistically deal with 2 LOs in a 2 bedroom house under 1000 sq ft. But people do all the time. And money to of course.

15+1. Verifi test said it's our 3rd girl. DH loves being a girl dad. DD1 is thrilled because she wanted another sister. I was happy either way.
Definitely my most miserable pregnancy. Still sick plus an assortment of second tri+ symptoms. I feel so blah! The hormonal rage is awful, especially trying to keep it from impacting my kids.
I always show early because I am short and have already reached the cute bump stage. I will probably officially achieve whale status around 24 weeks.
I feel like this was one big whine. I truly am so happy about this little girl!

I'm 24+3. Had a follow up ultrasound yesterday, baby girl is measuring 1lb8oz. They commented how long her legs are, so another long baby. No need to buy newborn clothes.
Im in the TWW currently. This is our second cycle TTC. I'm REALLY hoping it happens this month. I got cold feet during the first month we planned to start, and then I was really disappointed this last cycle. I'm still not temping yet, but I checked CM and did OPKs. So, I *think* our timing was pretty good. If I O'ed when I think, we have 0-4, O-3, O-2, O-1, O, O+1.

Holy crap that's a lot of sex. Fingers crossed for you!

Oh, I know. We were both pretty tired of it! Last month I think we hit O-6, O-4, O-3, O-2, O-1, and missed O because he went to a Tool concert (without me!). So, I figured we needed to try harder this month.
This was our second month NTNP. I think I'm about to get AF because cramps/spotting is starting. Boo.
I had cramping and spotting and thought I was starting my period... then I was distracted by LO and H getting sick and realized 2 weeks later that it never happened. Boom, pregnant.

I'm 10.5 weeks and I can't believe where the time is going. Pregnancy symptoms were mild with #1 and have so far been even more mild. (My strongest symptom has been falling asleep on the couch at 9pm) I have gained 0 pounds. Pants still fit. So far, so good.
I feel less excited about this pregnancy, but I feel happy with the decisions I made last time and am prepared to make the same decisions again. There's no sense of mystery, so I think it's just a little BTDT.
