EDD/weeks+days: 7/26 (3+1)

Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out!

Baby is the size of a(n): Vanilla bean seed?

Upcoming appointments: Couldn't get in until New Year's Eve! My other options were calling out of work (lol) and Christmas Eve (double-lol). If I'm counting right, I'll be 10+2 by then and am mostly nervous that I'll already be dealing with morning sickness (last time it really kicked in around 7-8 weeks, which luckily was right at the beginning of summer break, but this time I'm worried about figuring out how to balance vomiting 10 times a day with work). I guess I can always go see my primary care doctor if I need to.

How are you feeling? Pretty normal. Maybe a little cramping, but I can't be sure if that's what's going on or if it's mostly in my head/psychosomatic for now. 

Raves/Rants: I have to go back to work tomorrow after having gone in only two-and-a-half days in the last two weeks. I'm a teacher, and we had to cancel school because the boilers in our building were being replaced (something that took several weeks), so we had literally no heat. On one hand, I'm glad to go back because now we're so behind and I can't afford more time off, but on the other hand...man, it was relaxing to be home, and going back is going to be rough.

Questions: Has anyone managed to work/teach while dealing with morning sickness (the throwing-up-multiple-times-per-day variety)? If so, how'd you do it? If not, how did you handle missing work/telling your boss/etc.?

GTKY: What’s your favourite coffee order and favourite place to go? My go-to lately has been a soy chai, but I also like matcha green tea lattes, vanilla lattes, and raspberry lattes. Usually I go to Starbucks, but I like Biggby when I'm in Michigan. I want to like smaller/more local places, but I tend to find their menus intimidating, plus I can't just order ahead on an app.

What’s your favourite coffee order and favourite place to go? I am not a coffee drinker. I think it just smells awful! My husband will make it at home on the weekends and the smell always grosses me out.

Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: finding out for sure

Baby is the size of a(n): sesame seed 

Upcoming appointments: haven’t scheduled it yet. Wanted to make sure baby planned on sticking around first 

How are you feeling? Lots of cramping, nauseated but I think that’s the stomach bug going around

Questions: not yet  but as a ftm I’m sure there will be many.

Raves/Rants: I got myself involved in a lot of projects shortly before I got pregnant. I’m finding it hard to focus on any of them!

Questions: none right now!

GTKY: What’s your favourite coffee order and favourite place to go?

I’m very boring, hot coffee with one cream!

Hello ladies! 
EDD July 27th

We are going to find out which is SO exciting for me! I was team green with my son!

I'm not going to call my doctor until my AF day comes and goes. I dont believe they would want to make an appt until after that. It will probably be sometime right before christmas. 

I feel a range of emotions. Mostly happiness and excitement. I actually experienced less "symptoms" in this two week wait than when I haven't been pregnant. PMS is awful! Lol My skin is clear for once ...that must be a symptom apparently. Small pinchy cramps, frequent urination, bloating, sore breasts, headaches, and the worst heartburn of my life. That's the only thing I will actually complain about. 

No rants or raves currently

I love salted caramel anything.
