How are you feeling?
I'm not sleeping which is making me tired and achy.  Also my sinuses suck.  

Raves/Rants:
Rant:  See above!  I'm normally a side sleeper so sleep during pregnancy should be easy for me, right?  Ugh, for some reason the only time in my life when I'm not supposed to sleep on my back, I sleep on my back, and then wake myself up bc my body is like oh this isn't right.  This happens a billion times a night, on top of DD1 waking up looking for her pacifier and DD2 asking me to fix her covers.
Rave: DH also had trouble sleeping last night and ordered me a body pillow from Amazon in the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep and told me this morning.      

Questions: Nope

GTKY: Dream vacation?  Any where with DH

EDD/W+D:  April 26th 15w+1

Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Green

Baby is the size of a(n): navel orange/ eggo

Upcoming Appointments: Had a check-in with my midwife today that went well. Blood pressure was a good ol 112/62 despite some family stress right now and we found baby's very strong heartbeat right away!

How are you feeling? Congested, sore, but getting more energy and food aversions are finally easing up. I can eat chicken and more veggies now!

Raves/Rants: Rant: Getting really frustrated with commuting on transit while preggy. Today there was another subway shut down and our transit commission never seems to know how to do safe crowd control. It was annoying before, but now it feels dangerous. Rave: I living for honeycrisp apples right now since they're in season. They taste SO GOOD.

Questions: Anyone have tips for dealing with congestion? I feel like I'm going through a million tissues a day right now. Neti pot maybe?

GTKY: Dream vacation? Four biggies. South Africa, Italy, Touring from Portugal to Spain then Morocco, and a joint trip of Vietnam & Thailand. I have a travel bug and want to go everywhere, but those babies are top of my bucket list

@smallbutmighty77 Agreed re sweaters! They're so pricy!!! I splurged on a faux cable knit one from Thyme that I love, but I feel like I'm wearing it all the time because it's the only really cute one I have. My regular sweaters are starting to ride up from bump

@korthouse I'm dealing with major congestion too.  I'm already bad when not pregnant and always dealing with sinus issues.  I've been getting saline spray to do the netipot type thing, I use two pillows and a breathe right strip to sleep, I've started to take my Claritin again (I stopped since I try not to take anything in the 1st tri) and those things seem to be helping.  I keep meaning to take out the humidifier and clean it and then get caught up with other stuff and forgetting.

@korthouse when my sinuses hurt moist heat helps me the most. 

W+D: 4.27 15+2 

Team finding out/pink/blue/green: girl

Baby is the size of a(n): eggo waffle

Upcoming Appointments: oh next week! Good thing I checked. 

How are you feeling? Whatever those tiny bones at the top of your butt are, mine hurt a lot. Are they joints? I don't even know. I think it's from carrying DS up the stairs. I need to do more yoga.

Raves/Rants: I hate meal planning. I hate it every Sunday. I'm so bad at it! I wish I had a personal chef. Being rich would be nice. 

Also, huge rant coming: we're redoing our upstairs bathroom. Total gut job including new pipes all the way to the basement. Contractor told us 3 months. We're now on month 8. 8! I need the bathroom done so I can a) start potty training my kid, b) not go downstairs at 3am when I'm the size of a whale, and c) build my kid's big kid room. Like building a room where there isn't one. 
Have I ranted about this before? Because it sounds familiar, lol.

Rave: DH randomly told me he loves me and our family and he's really happy with how our lives are going ❤️.

Questions: I guess not. 

GTKY: Dream vacation? Disney world Disney world Disney world. It's my happiest place.

How are you feeling? I feel great. Just a bit of heartburn

@korthouse I second the humidifier 

@babybison totally agree on the meal planning. I don't mind cooking, I want someone to come clean up after!
