beefinch , I definitely agree that time is going much quicker this time around. I sometimes feel guilty that I'm not focused on being pregnant like I was with DD. I'm having to realize this doesn't mean I don't love this baby any less, I'm just busier now. I actually had to stop this morning and think when the last time I had a vegetable was - then I remembered we had asparagus with dinner....so I was happy

Hmmmm I think I'm mostly concerned about DS. Like I'm struggling to imagine sharing myself with two kids. I'm excited about #2 and the things associated but worried about being able to balance two kids. So I think I feel similarly to you in some ways, bazi . This is me too, I am totally scared in a whole new way having kid #2.

Going from 1 to 2 is a shit show. Be afraid lol. But going from 0 to 1 is the worst. Yes and no. The level of tiredness is incomprehensible to someone who has never had a kid. But at least you only have to focus on one baby. With #2 not only are you exhausted, but parenting a toddler is a super human feat in and of itself. Plus newborns are notoriously needy haha.

It's going to suck a lot for all of us for a while and then it will be normal. We will be fine.
I just keep telling myself that over and over again.

Ok I'm going to be a little different here. I definitely am not as into my pregnancy because my attention is more focused on my toddler BUT I feel so much more excited for this baby. I think with DD there was so much fear and anxiety of the unknown. With this one I feel more relaxed and just really looking forward to this little babe because I know what is to come.

I'm gonna need you guys when this baby is born!

He pointed out that there was no immediate delivery option DS's BMB was on TD so no dice there. 10 of us had a fb group be we dissolved about 6 months ago, so we made it 2.5 years. I still hang out with DD's bmb (both because I frequented both S and O 16) but we're only 9-10 months out. I'm likely to stick around here while on mat leave.

I'm not going anywhere. If for some reason our BMB ever becomes quiet, you'll still find me on GD for sure.

We do big annual get togethers. I'm going to see lady gaga with a few of them in September. And I'm really close with all my D15 moms. I'm definitely not going anywhere once the babes are here. I'm even currently wearing the shirts we made for our Chicago gtg from two years ago.

cnf, out board has done fine a few big GTGs too, but in recent years there have been more small GTGs since big trips can be hard.

+1 for having done gtgs with BMB. We've done two zoo trips and a beach trip. One actually came to DS' 1st birthday party too my in laws live close ish to a couple ladies so we try to get together when we visit. We are due for a gtg actually. But not gonna happen until the spring because baby. It's so fun getting the kids together together too now that they can actually play together. Eta I forgot I did a DC meet up too last summer!

So I'm likely to stick around I am quite close to F14 as well. We just had a huge GTG in Chicago October! There is another one this October, but I won't be able to travel to Nashville at that point. We hope do it every year or every other year. I still do smaller meet ups if One of us is in another's city. Tl;dr I really like this bunch so far and am thinking (hoping) we will stay close.
