Check-In/MTBT

[katespade]

This board has been pretty quiet, so I thought I'd start a post to see who might be lurking! Anyone around and interested in regular check-in/MTBM posts?

1. How far along are you this week? Team Pink/Blue/Green?

2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week?

3. Questions for the group?

4. What are you looking forward to the most about fall?

1. How far along are you this week? Team Pink/Blue/Green?
21w4d, team pink.

2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week?
Every time I attempt to sleep on a bed I only make it halfway through the night before my back pain wakes me up, and then I'm awake for the rest of the night because I'm in too much pain to sleep. However, no back pain issues at all when I sleep on the couch. So, apparently that's going to be my new bed for the next 18 weeks or so.

3. Questions for the group?
Any tips on preparing a 2.5 year old for a new sibling? DD will be turning 3yo just before my due date.

4. What are you looking forward to the most about fall?
Cooler weather and rain. I'm SO ready for rain.

OK I'm going to reply to katespade, I'm so freaking excited for you. I love this board. I'm not pregnant now, but when I was I loved sharing and discussing here. AND I FREAKING LOVE BIRTH STORIES.

My daughter was 5 when DD2 was born so it was almost ALL excitement and very little I had to do to prepare.

People warn you, as soon as you have 2nd baby, your first born will suddenly seem so much older to you. IT STILL BLOWS MY MIND, it's so crazy.

The discomfort in sleeping: there is something to those C shaped body pillows once you figure out how lay in it right. And people are always getting rid of them so you can find a pretty unused one for like 10$
