TTGKTFU ladies:
Where are you in your cycle/how long have you been TTGKTFU? Any signs/symptoms? When was your last BCBC? Were you fertile? What do you think will be the best part of pregnancy? (Besides the obvious). What do you think will be the worst?
Let's see those pictures! (yes, TTGKTFU ladies have pictures too. we do like to see your pretty faces and your furbabies, etc).
How old is LO? Just over 3 months, and almost 2 years!!!!! Eek! What's new and/or exciting lately? Well both of their colds seem to be on the mend, so that's good. Why is being a mom stressful this week? The continual colds are frustrating. Bjl wakes up more MOTN bc she can't breathe and has a panic attack. Why is being a mom worth it this week? Cuddles. Always the cuddles. Bjl can repeat whatever you ask her to say, and can compose 5 word sentences on her own. Boy....is still kinda boring Why is your kid crying these days? Bjl cries when she's tired and boy cries when he poops. Which is weird to me bc bjl could sit in a poopy diaper all say and not give a sht How often do you give baths? Who does the baths? We normally shower bjl every night but have not showered her in a few days bc of her cold. Boy is every other night. We alternate, but hub does it a little more often.
How many weeks? 12.5 weeks...I got myself a ticker after last week's appointment! How are you feeling? pretty good, though currently really hungry and thirsty since I've been busy this morning with work stuff. Anything new and/or exciting? NT scan tomorrow! Looking forward to that one -- hope it goes well When was your last appointment? Next appointment? Previous one was last Monday, next one isn't for a while -- sometime in March Are you having a baby shower? When? Who's hosting? Unlikely -- didn't have one last time around and don't need much this time. I wouldn't know who to invite, anyway.
Mommas:
How old is LO? 21 months What's new and/or exciting lately? more words and phrases -- a few nights ago we were dancing around the kitchen and she told me "mama shake your booty!" LOL. Apparently she learned that one from her daycare teachers. Why is being a mom stressful this week? figuring out childcare for 2 is TOUGH! I know it's way early, but I like to plan things. Why is being a mom worth it this week? this morning she gave me kisses to wake me up and asked to eat breakfast. Why is your kid crying these days? she wanted me to hold her, not put her in her car seat, after daycare yesterday. Which was sweet but frustrating since we needed to get home. How often do you give baths? Who does the baths? DH does bathtime. It's supposed to be nightly but usually we fit in 4-5 baths a week, which is fine.
How old is LO? 5weeks 5days and 3 years old What's new and/or exciting lately? Everyday is new and exciting with two kids lol Why is being a mom stressful this week? Mostly with M. She needs to get out more and could use more interaction with others but theres just not a lot around here for that and the parks suck with this weather as that was my go to. Why is being a mom worth it this week? Baby snuggles with J and story time at night with M Why is your kid crying these days? M cries from not getting what she wants. J cries when she gets changed How often do you give baths? Who does the baths? M gets a bath every other day or at least thats what I try for and J gets maybe 1 or 2 baths a week just as I feel she needs them. I do all baths and have since M was born.

How many weeks?
13w 4d
How are you feeling?
I barfed up some sushi the other night and had to lay down after vacuuming one room, but otherwise, good.
Anything new and/or exciting? Everyone finally knows. It's such a relief to not be keeping it a secret anymore! When was your last appointment? Next appointment?
We had the NT Scan on Friday of last week - everything was normal. Tomorrow, I have a regular monthly appointment with the midwives.
Are you having a baby shower? When? Who's hosting?
We're in the midst of figuring this out. I'm going to need to fly to California even though I desperately don't want to. Probably the first weekend in May. And then who knows for a Seattle shower. I don't even know who would throw that.
What's new and/or exciting lately? J rolled over for the first time over the weekend and had successfully (knock on wood) transitioned out of the swaddle.
Why is being a mom stressful this week? Sad reflux crying.
Why is being a mom worth it this week? Oh, the giggles! I lovelovelove when he laughs! He also loves books and his mini blanket toy and he's so sweet when he's fiddling with it.
Why is your kid crying these days? Reflux
How often do you give baths? Avg 2/wk
Who does the baths? I do. DH will be done with school next week (!) and will start doing more.
How old is LO? Almost 6 months. What's new and/or exciting lately? niq posted about babyniq sitting and E wasn't so I thought, geez, he's behind. He's had the strength to sit assisted for a long time, but I realized I never really let him try to sit on his own. So, we've been practicing and he can sit longer and longer periods of time. Last night I yelled for my H to come see, and then he came and was like, "What? He's been doing that." Um, no, he hasn't. Also, eating is new and exciting.
I'm glad things got going! Baby development totally comes in bursts. Babyniq doesn't really roll at all. He rolled tummy to back like four times but hasn't in the last 2-3 weeks.
It was really like flipping a switch. One day I had to keep my hands right next to him; the next day he could sit for 10 seconds. The next day like 60 seconds; and now several minutes at a time. He still falls over or gets in an awkward position, he is leaning forward a lot, and we use the boppy often. But it's still super exciting. He can do things!!!
How are you feeling? Actually a ton better. I have been back to the gym this week, making dinner, and generally not a useless pukey mess.
Anything new and/or exciting? Feeling the baby a lot. Sometimes the bumps are so hard they surprise me and make me jump.
When was your last appointment? Next appointment? Last was Christmas next is Friday. I'm excited to see the baby now that it has humaned up a bit.
Are you having a baby shower? When? Who's hosting? Yep, May 17 (yeah we already know the date....and I don't even know what I'm eating for dinner tonight...) My BFF is hosting.
And he hits me, a lot. And is always smudging my glasses or trying to pull them off. That shit is annoying!
Isaiah is doing this too!!! So very irritating!
Mommas:
How old is LO? 5 months!!
What's new and/or exciting lately? He's working on during up unassisted, but is still pretty wobbly. I put him on the bed so it's soft though so he gets used to toppling over.
Why is being a mom stressful this week? Next week I start at a new branch which is an extra 30 minute commute, which means mil be coming in mornings to help me out from when I leave until h gets home from work (only about 2ish hours but it's stressing me out)
Why is being a mom worth it this week? His giggles!!! He's definitely got my personality because he laughs at EVERYTHING!
Why is your kid crying these days? Maybe teething? Otherwise he just usually likes to be held.
How often do you give baths? Who does the baths? We try to every other day. I take him in the shower with me and h takes him after he's done to do lotion/diaper/jammies.

I love that @jennuinne is learning tricks from niq. That is so awesome and a great benefit of us sharing photos, stories, etc. such a great community we have!
How old is LO? Almost 6 months What's new and/or exciting lately? Getting a bit better at sitting tripod style when he isn't tired, gave him some solids this weekend. Why is being a mom stressful this week? Trying to balance long work days with little sleep, too much to do at home, and trying to not get really upset at work when I ask dh how it's going at home (since he watches DS during the day) and he describes DS as annoying and whiny. We are likely going to put DS in a daycare center. Why is being a mom worth it this week? Seeing developmental progress and all the cuddles when I get home from work. Why is your kid crying these days?banana is too slick to stay in his hand after he mushed it up
How often do you give baths? Who does the baths? We give them every 2 or 3 days because he loves them. We use a swimava for the first 15 minutes and just let him play. It is about 50/50 on who gives him a bath.
What's new and/or exciting lately? He's working on during up unassisted, but is still pretty wobbly. I put him on the bed so it's soft though so he gets used to toppling over.
I assume you meant sitting up???
I only let him trying sitting on soft surfaces in case he fell over too. But, I realized he can't sit up b/c it's too soft. I tried it on the floor, sitting behind him to catch him, and he could do it so much better!
That's what I get for not proof reading and posting from mobile! But yes, I meant sitting up. We have started trying to sit on the floor with the boppy behind him. He can do it for a few seconds...but he is still pretty wobbly. But I think he also thinks it is funny to fall over.

KTFU Mommas:
How many weeks? 11w0d - this is the week I made it to last time before I started bleeding. How are you feeling? Much better/worse than last time, so I'm a bit more confident that things are going the way they're supposed to now. Anything new and/or exciting? My pants are getting tighter and tighter by the minute. I need new maternity pants like yesterday. When was your last appointment? Next appointment? Last appointment was at 8 weeks, so 3 weeks ago. Next appointment is next Wednesday for the NT scan/quad screen and 12 week appointment. Are you having a baby shower? When? Who's hosting? No talk about that yet - we'll probably have a sprinkle or something if it's a boy.
Mommas:
How old is LO? 2y4m What's new and/or exciting lately? Just lots and lots and lots of talking. She likes to sing with me and knows the words to songs we sing, and is 'reading' her goodnight books now, too. She's basically got them memorized. Why is being a mom stressful this week? Not being with her - even though it's for her health and safety, I hate not being with her. Why is being a mom worth it this week? When I talk to her, she says her "I-you" and gives me lots of kisses. Why is your kid crying these days? Most likely not being allowed to watch a bunch of TV or movies. How often do you give baths? Who does the baths? We bathe her a few times a week, and we kind of take turns. If it's a bath, I do it, and if it's a shower, J does it.
