Any upcoming appointments this week?

Any new symptoms?
- all of the heartburn and lightning crotch! Ouch!
Rants/raves/questions?
- just wish I was better at participating on here. Not sure what I expected tho, I'm bad at socializing in real life so obvis I'm not great at it here either haha
GTKY: what type of industry do you work in and what do you love/hate about it?
- I am in medical billing. Not glamorous, not really fun, but it pays the bills and keeps my kids fed so I guess I love it

5. Rants/ Raves/ Questions?
-I didn't want to spend a ton on summer maternity clothes, and I happily stumbled upon really cute print shorts at TJ Maxx. Granted it's in the juniors' section, but the elastic waistband that you can wear under the bump is SO comfortable!
6. GTKY: What type of industry do you work in and what do you love/ hate about it?
-I am a high school science teacher. I love the summers off, but really enjoy that every day is something new and different. I hate how difficult it is to not take work home with you, both physically and emotionally. Having a baby will definitely change up the way I work, though.
