Re: Weekly Check-in Groups 1&2 (Jan 1-16) w/o 9/16
Babies are the size of a(n): barbie dolls or nunchucks
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Purple
Upcoming Appointments: I have endocrine clinic tomorrow and twin clinic on wednesday so a lot this week.
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): generally pretty good but massive & waddley, random waking in the middle of the night for an hour or 2 last week but not over the weekend so hoping that doesnt continue. Still in a buffalo chicken craving phase, having it every day for lunch and its still so good, really hits the spot.
Rants/Raves: work is hectic atm and i could really do without having to be out for 2 full afternoons for hospital appointments.
Questions: For those mamas who arent sahm's, when do you intend to finish up for maternity leave?
GTKY: If you could speak an additional language, which would it be and why? i did french, german & italian in school & stil have a basic grasp on them and can half get by if i need to but i would love to be able to speak spanish.
Baby is the size of a(n): Demi-baguette
GTKY: If you could speak an additional language, which would it be and why? I speak an additional language already fluently, and I would say my French is really good. I always liked German, Arabic or Mandarin would be really useful to be honest.
I plan on working right up until I deliver. I don't get much time off, so I want to save as much as possible for after baby is born. With DD, I went into labor over the weekend, so it worked out ok.
If I had more time, I would probably would take off starting December 23rd.
EDD/Weeks + Days: January 7th, 23+6
Baby is the size of a(n): almost as big as a waffle iron?
Starting to get some heartburn and aches/pains.
GTKY: If you could speak an additional language, which would it be and why? Spanish for sure. It would have helped a lot during med school and residency.
Baby is the size of a(n): Grapefruit
GTKY: If you could speak an additional language, which would it be and why? Spanish or Karen. These are the two languages I come across most in my law practice. I keep promising my staff that whoever learns all the different dialects of Burmese will become my favorite employee...lol!
@jaceru I completely forgot to check in last week, too.
@breweber2010 I didn’t know you were a lawyer, too!
@c1kc1kpol1cn1k Same here! Little one is kicking super low. Getting lots of hits to the bladder.
Baby is the size of a(n): papaya
GTKY: If you could speak an additional language, which would it be and why? I studied Spanish and am pretty good conversationally but I’d like to be closer to fluent.
Baby is the size of a(n): grapefruit?
GTKY: If you could speak an additional language, which would it be and why? Spanish - just for the practical use!
Baby is the size of a(n): cantaloupe
With dd i took a full year off when i had her and i really struggled with a number of things; the lack of mental stimulation, not earning my own money (dh would never have told me that i couldnt have anything but ive been working full time since i was 17 and to suddenly go to not having my own income was mentally hard for me), lack of adult company, losing my own identity or struggling to find what my new one was. My job is quite demanding and i really enjoy it so i did a night course from 9-12 months because i felt like my brain was turning to mush! This time round, im going to take 9-10 months and will definitely be going back to work after. I did reduce to a 4 day week which i find is a great balance for me as i have that extra day off with dd.
Could you put the baby in daycare a day a week to allow you a little time to yourself, to do adult things like a part time course etc?
I have the upmost respect for SAHMs cause that shit is hard!!
Baby is the size of a(n): grapefruit? - this can't be right @crf4
I got my first "Oh I thought you were due next month" comment! Wtf - have you really never been around someone that is pregnant. I honestly look like an average 23w pregnant woman.
GTKY: If you could speak an additional language, which would it be and why? I love languages! Outside of the ones I know I would like to speak mandarin or Japanese.
Baby is the size of a(n): Mango
GTKY: If you could speak an additional language, which would it be and why? Spanish. I will need it sooner rather than later.
ps thank you all for the feedback! I think I will do the test at 27 weeks so at my 28 week apt my midwife can share the results. She also said if there was a concern it's better to catch it early
@Limes030 that's awesome that you are going for this change! A lot has already been said, but again try and find the mom groups /story time/ community events.
@chelscreates So glad things went well!
DD/Weeks + Days: 25 w 1d
Baby is the size of a(n): cauliflower
GTKY: If you could speak an additional language, which would it be and why? Spanish for sure, I have a mixed family.
Baby is the size of a(n): cantaloupe
GTKY: If you could speak an additional language, which would it be and why? Spanish or sign language. Not so much with my current job but when I worked retail pharmacy the tiny bit I know of both really came in handy so it'd be nice to be fluent. I did take 4 years of Spanish in high school but of course don't remember a ton.
