How are you feeling?: I was peachy until I threw up this morning...bah
Rants/Raves: told one coworker last week about baby and telling the rest this week! Gonna bake them sugar cookies to break the news lol No rants really
Questions: not today!
GTKY: What is “your song” with your SO? What is the story behind it? Rose Of My Heart by Johnny Cash. I was out of town one week and he was home alone drinking on his day off. He just listens to music when he's drunk and chills. He text me and called me the rose of his heart and said the song came on his playlist and he got teary eyed thinking about me. I knew that moment that would be our first dance song and we were far from being engaged at that point. It's a silly story but the sweetness is all there
How are you feeling?: like an emotional wreck. I’m still so sick all day long, I’m getting RLP with any sudden moves/sneezes/coughs, I haven’t had an appointment yet so I have no clue what is going on. I go back to work for the school year the last week of August and I know it would be really shitty to quit at this point, but I’m seriously considering it.
Rants/Raves: guess I sort of covered that already 😳
Questions:
GTKY: What is “your song” with your SO? What is the story behind it? We don’t have one. Is that weird? We eloped so we didn’t have a first dance and we haven’t ever really listened to much music together because we don’t have the same taste.
How are you feeling?: Pretty good except for extreme bloating. As soon as I eat a little, it feels like I ate 10 pizzas.
Rants/Raves: My MIL is so passive-aggressive. We have a big family event in early September. We're all going to wear the same T-shirts so the public will know who the organizers are. We were all gathered yesterday for a birthday party. MIL started collecting T-shirt sizes because she needs to order them this week and have someone put a logo on them. I requested a size M (I am a size S/M in tops and 8 in pants). I'll be 16 weeks for the event. I pondered in my head for a while if I should order a size L to account for a possible bump but MIL was questioning me ordering a size M in a roundabout way so that I insisted on a size M. I so wanted to say "size M, maternity please!" but we're not ready to announce yet. Good golly lady! I know my size!

@char245 enjoy your beach vacation! Are you doing anything fun?
@babyroma sugar cookies are the best! And what a cute story about your song.
@doodleoodle sorry about all your discomfort. Is 8/20 your first appointment? That seems like a long time to wait. Can't they see you sooner?

You guys I am giddy with excitement!! I have been calling and calling my OB office to see if there are any cancellations and I can be bumped up. When @rikiteacup made the comment about how long a wait it is until my next appointment i realized that I hadn’t called since Tuesday of last week to see if they can bump me. I go in next Monday now!! It’s only a week earlier, but still exciting!!
Upcoming appts: Next Monday meeting with the geneticist
How are you feeling?: Better this week because last week I had a terrible flare from my nerve condition (CRPS). Nausea and fatigue are still hanging around but I've gotten better at managing them..or I did until my flare.
Rants/Raves: See about for rant. We did have an amazing appointment with MFM last week that gave me so much reassurance.
Questions: Nope!
GTKY: What is “your song” with your SO? What is the story behind it? We didn't actually have a wedding and we've tried planning one on several occasions but life always gets in the way. We've been together for 17 years so our song has changed but we've ultimately decided on " What a Wonderful World" but prefer the Kermit the Frog version.
