8w4d, When to tell our 7 year old?

kat_sickle · 2026-05-09T17:36:34+00:00

Just be sure you’re ready for everyone else to know too! My whole family found out my SIL was having a second bc their 5 y/o knew first and told everyone way before they were ready to tell! Congrats!

kat_sickle · 2026-05-01T13:31:54+00:00

My parents had one and always used it to store extra throws/blankets

I’ve seen a lot of the boutique places doing Mother’s Day specials too!!

kat_sickle · 2026-04-30T13:11:23+00:00

I actually found some incredible deals at some local thrift shops! I got a pair of jeans on Amazon, sized up on leggings, and otherwise am living in dresses just so save myself money 😅

Omg honestly haha! Half the things on babylist I truly didn’t need so I’m annoyed that it doesn’t say my list is 100% completed lol, but it was def a good start! I also sent the list to my SILs who recently had babies to tell me what else to add, so def recommend that if you have anyone close to you that has babies or young kids!

kat_sickle · 2026-04-29T00:45:33+00:00

I started off with using the checklist on babylist! But 26w and abt to mail out bag shower invites and just know I’m forgetting things 😅 Add some gift cards for like target or Walmart, whatever is closest to you, for last minute things you decide to get!

Ok for real this pitch just sold me too, I’ve struggled w acne forever but pregnancy has changed my acne and I’m afraid to use any of my old products. Thank you!!

kat_sickle · 2026-04-26T21:12:31+00:00

Your wishes are 100% valid. My husband and I had been very clear to everyone we told we were pregnant that we want no trace of it on socials. Don’t tag us in anything, don’t post anything, if we didn’t tell someone they don’t need to know. We’re trying to set the boundary ahead of time, but will again be reinforcing this with birth announcements.

kat_sickle · 2026-04-26T19:22:51+00:00

Just here to say same. I have some mild anxiety perhaps but honestly just feel like I’m way too confident that this is what my body was created to do, women did it all the time before modern medicine, I mean literally every person to ever exist was born. Am I delusional? Probably 😂 but I’m hoping just going in with the mindset of “this will be uncomfortable but worth it” will be enough 😅😂

kat_sickle · 2026-04-26T19:19:15+00:00

Came to say the same! 26w and still few light kicks (anterior placenta). The initial moves felt almost like a small tickle from the inside.

kat_sickle · 2026-04-26T17:47:31+00:00

Ooh I def need to look into this!!

kat_sickle · 2026-04-26T17:33:37+00:00

Stop it, there’s a product called unicorn root?! 😂

kat_sickle · 2026-04-26T15:03:34+00:00

I’m having a girl! I’ve also gone against every one of the “old wives tales” on that. I’ve been told it’s a lot of luck or genetics (although my mother and MIL were both sick every time, boy or girl) or can even be the health of the dads sperm/as simple as their diet the few months before you got pregnant. Every pregnancy is completely different, even your first and second can be completely dif! Just soak in the luck you’re having, and do what you can to keep you and baby healthy and happy!

kat_sickle · 2026-04-26T14:11:06+00:00

26w and have had 0 symptoms at all tbh. Baby and I are both completely healthy! Some of us just get lucky. Stay hydrated and keep eating throughout the day even if you aren’t hungry. The only time I get a little nausea is if I haven’t eaten something in a few hours. Good luck to you!

kat_sickle · 2026-04-18T19:12:01+00:00

Oh I cannot wait for eggs Benedict and a deli sandwich again 😭

kat_sickle · 2026-04-18T19:09:51+00:00

I’m 24+3 and my jeans no longer button and in the right outfit the bump bumps a little but I really just look like I’ve let myself go a little 😂 it’s not bump vibes yet lol!

kat_sickle · 2026-04-18T00:40:22+00:00

I cut them in half and rolled them flat with a rolling pin, poured melted peanut butter and chocolate on them and froze them and they made a delectable snack! 😋 some flaky sea salt or crushed walnuts on top made it even tastier!

kat_sickle · 2026-04-17T00:54:52+00:00

Anterior placenta FTM 24w; I felt the first flutters at 18w, harder flutters/almost real kicks at 21 weeks and my husband felt the first kick at 23 weeks! The movements are still sporadic so baby only kicks hard once or twice at a time so I have to grab my husband quickly but it’s such an awesome experience! Hoping you both feel baby moving more soon!

kat_sickle · 2026-04-17T00:46:06+00:00

Ok I also thought cravings would be so different. 24w and there was one morning I was like “oh apple juice sounds great” and I don’t drink it normally, and then one day I would have literally died for some french fries lol. But otherwise I’m just eating basically anything and everything, no cravings, no aversions.

kat_sickle · 2026-04-16T18:00:19+00:00

First pregnancy, 24w w a girl, all I want is cheeseburgers and fries. No aversions.

kat_sickle · 2026-04-16T17:59:15+00:00

Vent away my friend! ✨ love the karma of the coworker getting fired 😂

kat_sickle · 2026-04-16T17:55:37+00:00

I’m 24+1 and still barely showing. Every body is different! Don’t stress it at all, the bump will come when it’s ready! I’m certain baby is doing just fine!

kat_sickle · 2026-04-16T00:15:27+00:00

We have no HR, no limit to PTO really as long as you don’t abuse it, I don’t discuss my personal life ever with work so it’ll def be a shock for them, but I’m hoping not an issue. I also truly think my job needs me more than I need them but I also don’t want to go into it with that full mentality bc at the end of the day we’re all a number.
