how is everyone doing with staying at home right now? is everyone at home?
h is still working out of the house most days and the girls are stir crazy. i’m not feeling great, but not horrible. basically nauseous when not eating. we have been baking a ton and i can only imagine the early weight gain will be more than my previous pregnancies. thankfully the weather has been decent and we’ve been able to blow off some steam outside but snow and rain are in the forecast the next few days.

Hi! I know it’s still early but with everything going on and not seeing our families, I’m starting to think about how we’re going to tell our families that we’re expecting. I had planned on putting DD2 in a “Big Sister” shirt and DD1 in a “Bigger Sister” shirt and seeing how long it takes them to notice. But I can’t do that if we can’t see them in person.
Another thought I had was to just not tell anyone until we do finally see them in person and then it’ll be really obvious. I’m already bloated beyond belief so I know it’ll be showing sooner than I’d like. Plus if this mess goes through June, I’ll be halfway through my pregnancy by July anyway.

Ugh, I’m sorry you’re not feeling great. I’m mostly okay with occasional bouts of nausea here and there. Nothing too bad yet. I also expect my early weight gain to be more than I’d like. We’re just trying to survive and comfort eating is a big part of that. MH is working from home now. The girls like to check in on him a few times and he’s been joining us for lunch. It’s helping to break up the day and since there’s no commute, we are definitely spending more time with him overall. I ordered a climbing dome for the backyard and we have a decent little space set up for outside play. We do a lot of scooter riding in the front too. It’s been really nice lately minus the terrible pollen. But yesterday it was raining and now it’s back down to the 40’s.

i was also planning on doing the t-shirt thing after the first us, but now that’s pushed out i’m not sure. i think i like the idea of just letting my belly speak for itself. we’re not big into announcements so i think that will be the plan for us. i’ve already told my mom and aunt since i usually see them everyday (not anymore of course). i think our families will be surprised though as we haven’t really talked about ever wanting a 3rd.

I thought about doing the shirt thing and taking a picture, then sending it to everyone. But then we can’t see their reactions and that’s the fun part. We didn’t do big announcements for the girls but this is our last and I was looking forward to sharing the news in a fun way. Part of me thinks no one would say anything if I randomly showed up pregnant in 4mo because how horrible would it be if I was just fat from quarantine snacks and not knocked up? 🤣

Staying at home has been hard for us. I survive being at home with my kiddo best when we can leave the house every day, and we obviously aren’t doing that. It doesn’t help that I’ve been so sick.
DDs birthday was yesterday, which was tricky but I think we pulled it off. Her party was supposed to be Sunday but is now scheduled for June 😂

I work in a pharmacy so I’m outside of the home. We’ve told most of our immediate family/close friends/my employer because of safety. We still had people asking to come over/visit/drop by/etc and we were like hey I’m pregnant, epileptic, and I already risk exposure at work. We can’t risk this anymore. Plus we may need extra help to minimize our exposure now. We just gave phone calls.
I’m pretty sad we didn’t get to do a super cute announcement but it was necessary, IMO. Everyone we told I’d be ok discussing loss with.
In the future, I’ll likely do something cute to post on social media for the rest of our friends/social circle.

I told work 3 weeks ago because I was so nauseous already. And then I took leave last week because I work in tutoring and cannot be running out of sessions to barf.
We usually do family photos ever April for DD’s birthday, but we moved it to June. I think I’m going to have her wear a Big Sis shirt for a few of the photos so we can use them to announce on FB/IG.

my kids were up a total of 4 times last night and both up for the day at 6. i would really like more than 200mg of caffeine. i have no idea what we’ll do all day. i’m so over this and i know our stay at home will end up being extended. also all city summer programs/pools have been canceled and closed. i was feeling so optimistic and like i could handle this situation yesterday and today it just all feels too much. sorry to be such a downer.

Hi! I'm joining you ladies here after hanging around TTGP for a while. Just got a BFP after almost a year of trying. Still doesn't feel real that I'm pregnant I've been thinking about our announcement, too. I normally wouldn't do one on SM, but not being able to see family/friends makes me want to now. When are you all planning to announce?

When are you all planning to announce? Congrats!! We announced on FB with DD when I was 20 weeks, after we had the anatomy scan and knew everything looked good and that she was a girl. We will probably do something similar this time.

All summer stuff is canceled already? Gosh it seems a little early to make that call? It seems like they know so much more than they’re saying.

When are you all planning to announce? Congrats, marigold!! We announced on FB around 12w both times. This time I can see waiting a while longer but I’m not sure why I feel that way? Honestly at this point I’m thinking we might just wait until it’s obvious when we finally get to see people in person. I’ll be 20w in early July and I’m just hoping maybe we’ll finally be able to see people then? I don’t know.

Is everyone planning on finding out the sex? We have 2 girls and found out with them both. We’re team green this time!

marigold congrats! Fearsy i feel like it’s too soon to cancel entire summer at this point. i guess maybe it’s easier to do it that way and open things up if things are deemed safe? it’s really bringing me down today though. i guess i’m just hoping we can do playgrounds and library at this point. and that child care will be a safe option. the oldest is definitely having a hard time not seeing friends and having that structure. we were planning on telling family after first ultrasound so sometime at the end of april. that seems so far away, but it’s pretty easy to keep quiet about it now. we found out sex previous 2 times and we plan on it this time. i wish i could wait, but i just don’t like not knowing. i will get nipt, but we will probably wait until 20 week scan - it just seems more exciting to me that way, i dunno.

polson, I will have some serious struggles if we are truly shut down and at home for the entire summer. It will be so difficult for our kids to not be able to play with friends, swim, see people, do regular things like go to a restaurant. Ugh. I truly hope we can make some big strides with SIP before summer.

I hate surprises so I can’t wait to know whether it’s a boy or a girl making me so sick!

I hate surprises so I can’t wait to know whether it’s a boy or a girl making me so sick! 2 of my sils tried to convince me the last 2 times to wait - the argument was that it’s the only real surprise you’ll ever get. they did not understand how i could not like surprises. i mean i love it for other people, but i NEED to know.

We are absolutely finding out. I can't even take the suspense when friends are team green! I'm having an NIPT in 5 weeks. Any ideas how long it takes to get the results back?

i feel like garbage and i suspect it has something to do with no caffeine today. i made myself a cup of half caff. i will probably regret this later.

marigold i got my results in 7 days last time. i want to say they tell you it takes 7-10 business days but i may be making that up. it might depend on the test and where it gets sent.

I was very much have to find out with the last two. But something about this being our last one makes me more interested in waiting.
