Hey all,
I came from TB to TCF (ttcal & n15) and migrated to Facebook with my N15 girls. Now I'm coming here! Due date 8/11, induction date 8/4. Third pregnancy and feelings ugh.
We lost our son in 2014 the day after he was born to Group B Strep, had our rainbow gal Oct 29th.
We were NTNP but with my history of short luteal phases, I wasn't holding my breath...but here we are - scared shitless! I'm worried how we will incorporate the newest addition into the family without hard feelings from our little girl. Also afraid the next one with be a high needs non-sleeper too.
I swear Ive been feeling Braxton hicks contractions for a week or two, am I crazy?

Congrats- I have been worried about my lo and adding a new baby as well. Everyone tells me it takes no time for them to adjust, however its so hard to picture such a major change.

Our girl has been the center of our universe and cries when I hold my nephew or neighbor's babies. I can't see how she will be down with sharing me with anyone else! Not to mention we want to remodel our house, get her potty trained and going to the Montisorri school before summer. Gulp! |

I had big plans for this spring- a stay home vacation that was going to be all remodeling. We are also looking into starting the 2.5 year old into preschool in March and my kid does not allow me to hold babies. He does love them though- just not when I am involved. |

Congrats and welcome! I’m so sorry for your loss.
I think I’ve felt Braxton Hicks too, so maybe you are?

Congrats! I'm so sorry for your loss. I've been getting a lot of spasms, not sure if they're BH or just random muscles freaking out. Our DDs are about the same age, mine was born Aug 15  . |

Welcome, I have 2 girls and was panicked at the idea of what adding a second child would do to my first. It was totally fine! My oldest loves being a big sister and I love that they have each other.

Welcome! My 3.5 yo DD got really upset while I held someone elses baby during her dance class last week. It's going to be an adjustment for all of us.
We actually just happened to watch the Daniel Tiger episodes where he gets a new baby sister, and they had good songs to use as reminders.

There’s also a bubble guppies episode where Molly becomes a big sister that would be good for older siblings to watch. |
