April 29</p> <p>How old is/are your LO(s)? DS is 16 months</p> <p>What is/are the genders of your LO(s)? Boy and not sure about #2 but the US tech might have slipped and told us Boy</p> <p>What's your biggest fear of being a mom to two or more? Being able to remain patient enough. I really look forward to once they are old enough to play together but worry about juggling everything before that point. I also worry about jealousy.</p> <p>What are some big gears you plan to purchase, if any? We need a second crib mattress and another infant car seat base.</p> <p>How are you feeling being pregnant and dealing with another LO? SO TIRED. In the beginning it was morning sickness for 20 weeks. Now it's exhaustion and back pain that make it tough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-time-plus-pregnancies#post-1338966 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 00:12:16 +0000 lemondrop 1338966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What is your EDD?<br /> 3/17/14</p> <p>How old is/are your LO(s)?<br /> He just turned 2, so they should be about 26 months apart. </p> <p>What is/are the genders of your LO(s)?<br /> Battle boys!</p> <p>What's your biggest fear of being a mom to two or more?<br /> Mostly it's just worrying over when delivery will happen without family super close and being away from #1. We are pretty easy going as a whole, sure there are rough days where I get worried about being overwhelmed with two, but I'm pretty excited! </p> <p>What are some big gears you plan to purchase, if any?<br /> A toddler bed, dresser, and that's about it. I am really trying to avoid buying a double stroller. I hope to babywear #2 when we need a stroller. </p> <p>How are you feeling being pregnant and dealing with another LO?<br /> Exhausted. Thankfully #1 is very independent playing by himself, but he still runs me ragged most days. </p> <p>@jedeve: Once C hit 18 months, it was the first time I actually felt like I could handle 2 at the same time. So much happens after they turn 1 to make them more little people than babies- it really has been my favorite time so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-time-plus-pregnancies#post-1338937 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 23:43:24 +0000 luckypenny 1338937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ree723: I have the same fear !

I'm so anxious to find out!!<br /> <b>What's your biggest fear of being a mom to two or more?</b> Making sure DD still gets the same amount of love and attention.

Lets just say DD watched way more Daniel tiger than I like to admit. Now, at 28 weeks, I feel great but have less energy after 4pm.

Full term on Tuesday!</p> <p>How old is your LO?<br /> - She's 18 months, will be 19 months when new baby arrives</p> <p>What are the genders of your LOs?<br /> - We have a daughter and are Team Green for this coming LO, can't wait to see if it's another girl or a boy!</p> <p>What's your biggest fear of being a mum to two?<br /> - Not being able to spend enough quality time with both of them. Wondering if I can truly love them equally (I know that's silly, but I love DD so much, I can't possibly imagine loving someone else as much - irrational pregnancy hormones much?)</p> <p>What are some big gears you plan to purchase?<br /> - We bought a new pram that converts to a double (the B-Ready) shortly before finding out we were pregnant, so we've just had to order the second seat. New LO will sleep in the portacot in our room for the first several months and we're renting our infant car seat (a service provided by the Ambulance Service here), so no other big purchases necessary!</p> <p>How are you feeling being pregnant and dealing with another LO?<br /> - It's tough at this stage as I just physically am not able to play with DD like I'd like to. It's also tough carrying her as it causes strong BH and our cuddle time is somewhat impeded due to this large bowling ball on my belly! Overall though it hasn't been too bad but I am definitely over being pregnant now... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-time-plus-pregnancies#post-1338801 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 22:08:46 +0000 lavender 1338801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What is your EDD?

I was so nauseous in the first tri that it was nearly impossible for me to cook for my toddler. I'm doing much better now, although I try to get DH to carry her up and down the stairs, give her her bath, etc. since I'm finding those things physically exhausting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-time-plus-pregnancies#post-1331420 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 14:17:09 +0000 MamaChin 1331420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What is your EDD?<br /> March 17<br /> How old is/are your LO(s)?<br /> N is 14 months, they'll be 16 months apart<br /> What is/are the genders of your LO(s)?<br /> N is a boy and #2 is a girl<br /> What's your biggest fear of being a mom to two or more?<br /> I solo parent most of the week so it'll be hard to figure out a new schedule and tending to all needs.<br /> What are some big gears you plan to purchase, if any?<br /> A new crb and dresser for her nursery, a double stroller<br /> How are you feeling being pregnant and dealing with another LO?<br /> First trimester was prett tough, N got a bit of tv those couple of months.

I hope it continues that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-time-plus-pregnancies#post-1330804 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 11:24:29 +0000 Dandelion 1330804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What is your EDD? April 6, but he'll be outta there by March 29!<br /> How old is/are your LO(s)? DS is 6, and S is my angel who would be almost 10 months<br /> What is/are the genders of your LO(s)? Boy and girl...LO is a boy<br /> What's your biggest fear of being a mom to two or more? Changing gears from mom of an elementary kid to a baby. They have different needs, and while DS is really independent, I hope that I don't forget that he's still little. :)<br /> What are some big gears you plan to purchase, if any? Just a carseat. No big other gear...I bought neutral stuff for S and I still have it all.<br /> How are you feeling being pregnant and dealing with another LO? It's easy, cause DS is in school. He's also very helpful for things like taking clothes out of the dryer. I'm trying not to take advantage, but he IS really helpful! </p>
