Upcoming appointments this week? Not til 2/28 but trying to get in today or tomorrow for a peace of mind check before I take a week long trip on Wed. 

Any new symptoms, changes, or cravings? Symptoms have come and gone...I changed up taking my prenatals from AM to PM and ended up tossing and turning and getting headaches while sleeping last night...not cool. Might go back to taking them in the morning. 

Rants/Raves/Questions?  Hate the come and go symptoms...it's freaking out my pgal brain. I want to tell my dad/stepmom/sibs this week in person so I really need that heartbeat check for peace of mind before I tell them!!

GTKY: Any springtime traditions? Easter bunny! My grandma used to leave a trail of jelly beans or eggs etc from my room to my Easter basket so I continued the tradition with my DD last year. She's 2.5 so this year will be even more fun! Last year we let her do a hunt in the yard with empty plastic eggs...pretty sure I need to fill them this time as she's clued in lol

Sorry I've been MIA lately between my anxiety and my grandma dying life got the best of me and I felt like it was best for me just to stay off the internet. I'm back though! Feeling more relaxed now

A lime? I think lol I'm not real up on that

Tomorrow we get to hear the heartbeat again I can't wait I'm so excited!  I'm also getting some blood work that tells us boy or girl (among other things) I'll find out the 21st the results will be back.

Any new symptoms, changes, or cravings? 

Craving pineapple alllllll the time! Morning sickness is improving in the morning but still bad at night. I threw up all Saturday night ugh. Boobs are hurting a little less too so that's cool and I'm getting a little better with smells. Also I'm so tired! Like tired to the point I'm dumb during the day I look at my patients charts forever because I think so slow I feel like I'm in a fog. Any one else having this?

Rants/Raves/Questions?  

Just if any one else is feeling super foggy in their thinking and if anyone has any hydration tips? Water makes me SO sick

Welcome back @Breath_Easy92 !  I'm sorry for your loss

Breath_Easy92

@sableeg thank you, it's been rough but it's getting better.  It was my first funeral/close family death... I work at a hospital so I'm around dying people often but it was a very different experience from this side.
