How are you feeling?: good! My son is back to sleeping through the night again and we’re all mostly healthy with maybe just a little residual cough. I’m feeling baby move a bunch which is reassuring. 
Rants/Raves: We only have two days of work this week then off until Monday! We get to find out the sex of the baby Wednesday and I’m pretty sure I have the first appointment of the day which is good because I can hardly stand waiting anymore! 

Oh yeah the Tuesday bitch fest can continue for sure. Two of my coworkers got into a screaming match over the most ridiculous little thing right next to my desk this morning. I get along with them both just fine, they both usually get along with each other too, but they’re also both hot heads and it seems like they’re both frustrated over something unrelated and decided to take it out on each other. Now everyone’s in a bad mood.

My in laws keep constantly quizzing my kid. “What color is the light?” “How many chips do you have?” “Is it a triangle?” How about just enjoy your time with the two year old and stop asking him questions. And they also keep doing this weird thing to like distract/lie to him rather than just explain why he can’t do something. Like “the lights are broken” rather than just saying it’s not safe to drive with the lights on. Telling him it’s unsafe was more effective anyways. My brother in law and sister in law keep prompting him to say “stinky butt”.

Anyone else struggling with that constant underlying feeling that you're just waiting for the ball to drop? I'm over 19 weeks and so far everything has been healthy. And I am more at peace with how things are going than I expected to be after how low I felt this year following my back-to-back miscarriages in the winter and spring. But I keep catching myself thinking and talking as if there's still uncertainty about baby being ok and actually coming this April. And of course I know there's always risks and things that happen even when you're in the "safe zone", but I would love to be able to let go of that constant nagging doubt. I think especially after a missed miscarriage, it's so hard to trust your body knowing that, in the past, all signs pointed to things being totally fine even when they were the total opposite of fine. We have a detailed ultrasound tomorrow (finally) and am definitely feeling the nerves!

Not really looking for advice I guess 😅. Just putting this out there because I know there are people here who will probably understand.
