QOTW: How many kids would you like to have? How spaced apart? DH wants only 2, I'd like 3. So, we'll see when the time comes. I'd like them pretty close together, maybe 2 years apart so they're close and can hang out together. I'm close with my brother and sister (max of 3 years), so I'd like my kids to have that too.
Holiday QOTW: What Christmas traditions do you look forward to with LO? Baking cookies! It was always my favorite thing to do. Now I make some of my own to add to the mix that the rest of my family makes. Putting cookies and milk out for Santa. Visiting family, even if it means we spend a lot of time driving.

How are you feeling? Over this. I have not been a happy pregnant person. While there are no words to describe how incredibly blessed I feel to have LO on the way, I'm done. Everything about me hurts, I'm not sleeping and I just want to sit on the floor and do nothing. If you could see a picture of me right now, I look like I've given up lol
What are you craving? Root beer. All. The. Time.
What is grossing you out? Nothing over the past few days.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? DH and bought a ton of stuff for the nursery, clothes and the changing pad and cover, over the weekend. We were supposed to Christmas shop. Whoops!
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Next Monday I have my 36-week appt. I believe they are doing another growth ultrasound then.
Have you / will you found out the sex? It's a boy!
Any names picked out? I don't want to talk about it. DH is driving me NUTS.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? We bought curtains and a rug over the weekend. Does this look too girly? I'm second guessing the way this looks:
QOTW: How many kids would you like to have? How spaced apart?
Holiday QOTW: What Christmas traditions do you look forward to with LO? DH always told me One and Done but started in the 2nd tri with "When we go to try for our second..." So apparently we are having more kids lol. I would like to begin trying when this LO is about 2. As for Christmas traditions, I'm looking forward to opening presents at our house before family arrives. Christmas morning is so magical to a little kid. It's going to be awesome to share those moments.

QOTW: How many kids would you like to have? How spaced apart?
Just 1 for now, I have zero interest in being pregnant again
Holiday QOTW: What Christmas traditions do you look forward to with LO? Stockings an focusing in familt
LOs Age(s): 6 weeks
Best part of your week?: Family time Saturday. Seeing my nephews cuddle W and just having a few drinks and laughs w BIL and SIL.
Worst part of your week?: Yesterday, mildly baby related. I am having legit panic attacks about having to to back to work. I work 60 hours a week with no weekends off so I will never have quality family time. We can afford for me to take a pay cut and get a different job but I've been applying to jobs every single day with nothing. It's just discouraging to think of having to work that schedule and be away from W that much until I do find something else.
Milestones?: W smiles when I peek over into his bassinet now! He's been smiling on purpose for a little while but smiling when he first sees me in the morning is unreal cute.
QOTW: How many kids would you like to have? How spaced apart?: Like @sgautschi, when he was first born we surprised ourselves by thinking we were one and done. Maybe that's just a new baby shock? It's definitely wearing off and I would like to try for another in about 2 years. Since I lost an ovary and tube during this pregnancy I wonder if it will be more of a challenge to get pregnant again. If he is the only one we are able to have I will count those blessings everyday and we will be just fine with one.
Holiday QOTW: What Christmas traditions do have/ do you look forward to with LO?: I want to make baking and decorating cookies and making his own ornaments traditions.
PIP those kiddos!

Holiday QOTW: What Christmas traditions do you look forward to with LO? I'm Jewish, I don't have any Christmas traditions, but I'm looking forward to starting some with DH and LO. No idea what they'll be, though.
Best part of your week? Everytime my little girl acknowledges her brother and at 5 am this morning when he and I were alone and I was talking to him he just stared into my eyes. he knows I'm mom.
Worst part of your week? He has jaundice and has been poked more than I like. DD had slight jaundice too but because we supplemented, she kicked it quicker then he is. I hope all looks good at his appt tomorrow.
Milestones? DD's vocab really has just exploded and can have a conversation wih me.
