    Baby is the size of a(n)/fun fact: Lime

    Upcoming appointments: Appointment at MFM this week for my sequential screen

    How are you feeling? Actually, pretty good today. I’ve been having some back/hip pain issues that started prior to pregnancy. It’s been interfering with my sleep, which I do not appreciate. Otherwise, nausea/fatigue seems to be in a bit of a lull! I’ll take it! 

    Raves/Rants: Whyyyyy do all my clothes feel so tight and uncomfortable this early on?? The bloat is so real. I feel like I already need to start making some changes to my scrubs for work 

    Questions: None at present!

    GTKY: In honor of last night's Golden Globes, what is your favorite movie/TV show from the past year?
    I loved Schitt’s Creek and Barry

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

    Baby is the size of a(n)/fun fact: 
    Lime - I can't believe that! Makes me feel better about the bump I've started being unable to suck in the past week or so haha

    Upcoming appointments: 
    NT scan next Monday

    How are you feeling? 
    Meh. The all-day nausea is starting to fade, but it still comes and goes. My older daughter and I had a stomach bug last week, and this weekend I caught a cold. My 2nd daughter slept terribly last night and I was up with her for hours. Between 1st tri and being sick and being sleep-deprived, it's not my best day.

    Raves/Rants:
    We bought a new car yesterday! My other one won't fit three seats, so we needed something bigger and went ahead and bought something brand new. It's a Subaru Ascent, and it's nice! I've never had a truly new car before - it's fun!

    Questions:
    None

    GTKY: In honor of last night's Golden Globes, what is your favorite movie/TV show from the past year?
    The Mandalorian. Workin' Moms is high on the list too - it's got some crude humor but it's very funny.

    @meri-mac Pregnancy/baby brain is so very real for me. So much forgetfulness and brain fog. I hope that 2nd tri and beyond brings you some better clarity!

    Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Team green 

    Baby is the size of a(n)/fun fact: lime or as tall as a lego man? lol 

    Upcoming appointments: NIPT and first appointment with OB scheduled for Jan 20th. I hate waiting that long for u/s. I wish I could have one the day first trimester ends so I could feel better about telling people. 

    How are you feeling? freakin tired. I had two weeks off for Christmas and I gotta say I got used to my morning naps (I napped pretty much whenever my daughter did) and I am missing it big time today. I'm also starving, did not pack enough snacks.  

    Raves/Rants: It was so nice to have the time off, but I did not get nearly enough accomplished. 

    Questions: 

    GTKY: In honor of last night's Golden Globes, what is your favorite movie/TV show from the past year? I don't really watch all that much TV, but I did make time for the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and I loooove it. 

    @hbird0723 I loved Hart of Dixie, I will have to check that out! 
    @treeofcheem congrats on the new car! New cars are fun. 
    @modoodles I hope a new trimester brings you no sickness!

    Baby is the size of a(n)/fun fact: lime...mmmmm margaritas

    Upcoming appointments: Jan 20

    How are you feeling? Like garbage still. Cannot get a handle on the nausea or fatigue. 

    Raves/Rants: We leave for Disney on Friday and I am so afraid I am going to feel awful the entire time we are there. 

    Questions: anyone ever fly with a pack n play? I can’t decide if I want to pad it or put it in a bag or something to protect it a bit. I’ve never had to fly with one before. 

    GTKY: In honor of last night's Golden Globes, what is your favorite movie/TV show from the past year? Hmm from the past year, probably Mayans. All time, sons of anarchy. But I also have a soft spot in my heart for greys anatomy. Those shows could not be more different!

    Baby is the size of a(n)/fun fact: 
    Lime? I don’t keep track.

    Upcoming appointments: 
    Had an appt this morning. Baby’s hb was in the 160s. Thyroid appt next Friday. Another OB Jan 29. My life is literally only dr appts now.

    How are you feeling? 
    Better but still like junk. Hopefully I can taper off the unisom/b6 and feel like a normal human at some point.

    Raves/Rants: I cannot stop the beginning of the year bank account bleed. There’s so much to pay for right now and then my unplanned hospital stay is going to really throw a wrench in everything. Please please, dear sweet tax return, be extra kind this year.

    GTKY: In honor of last night's Golden Globes, what is your favorite movie/TV show from the past year?

  • Update: Impending winter storm tomorrow means I may get a day off! I live 40 minutes from work and my boss doesn't like me driving in crappy weather. 

    @hbird0723 I really enjoyed Virgin River as well!

    @kristinl492 Leggings are my friend. My abdomen is really firm as well which I am told is my uterus growing so it is kind of a tiny bump (at least in my mind). Hope you get some comfy clothes!

    @treeofcheem I hope so too, but I doubt it :tongue: I will just have to start a checklist for all these things.

    @mrsdrez I miss my vacation naps too. I was so used to sleeping in/mid-morning that I missed a car appointment. Luckily they got me in the next day.

    @kc0711 I hope you enjoy Disney. Should be fun. Maybe the sun will help :)

    @rachstar18 Fx for the tax return!

    Baby is the size of a(n)/fun fact: LEGO man as of yesterday. That’s fun. 

    Upcoming appointments: Tomorrow just an OB check. Hoping to schedule a NT us next week

    How are you feeling? Some days goodish. Some days horrible. More gagging at the smallest things. More times I wake up thinking I might puke. My mom bought me one of those bump boxes that have a whole bunch of nausea things so I’m gonna test them tonight if things get bad

    Raves/Rants: I thought my “nurse bladder” would save me from frequent bathroom trips. But the middle of the night bathroom trips started 5 days ago. Also ranting that one of my patients was able to wear her size 6 jeans until she gave birth when I’m already wearing maternity pants because of bloat. 😂

    Questions: 

    GTKY: In honor of last night's Golden Globes, what is your favorite movie/TV show from the past year? We don’t have cable. And I didn’t even know about the award shows these days. We also don’t go to the movies anymore 😅 but Netflix and Hulu are my jam. I will always love greys anatomy. I did just finish season two of You. Major creepy. But loved it. 
  • EDD/weeks+days: 11w4d

    Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: FO at AS

    Baby is the size of a(n)/fun fact: embryo

    Upcoming appointments: 1/24, two weeks from today. Feels so far away!

    How are you feeling? Weird... extreme fatigue and mild nausea are finally leaving me. I have the tiniest bump - like not really a bump but if I try to suck in it looks like normal-me when I’m not sucking in... if that makes sense. So I’m kind of feeling not pregnant at the moment which is both nice and scary feeling. Also feeling super nervous about the genetics test I took Tuesday - I always hate the wait on this thing!

    Raves/Rants: I worked out one time this week, which is a big improvement on my life the past 3 months! 😂 But then I was sick on Wednesday when my run group started back up so was super sad to miss that. 

    Questions: No questions but I’m also super nervous bc I take a medication now that I hadn’t for either pregnancy that’s class B and supposedly fine but I’m still nervous. ☹️

    GTKY: In honor of last night's Golden Globes, what is your favorite movie/TV show from the past year? I spent my entire two week vacation binge watching Veronica Mars. Only the fourth season was new, but I’d never watched any of it and I became obsessed. I also really loved Pen15 on Hulu earlier in the year!
  • I got my NIPT back today and everything came back great!!! I still don’t know what I am having because DH wanted us to find out together. When the nurse called I wanted so bad to just find out...would I have been a horrible wife?
  • Congratulations on great results @Mamaof2beautifulgirls! I would have had a very hard time just not finding out too. Do you guys have plans to find out in a certain way together?
  • @modoodles that is what I am trying to figure out. I thought about doing a cake and us cutting it as a family or something like that. This is our third so I want to keep it low key. DH doesn’t really care as long as we are together. 
  • @Mamaof2beautifulgirls we were just discussing this last night. This is our 3rd and the first time we’ve done the genetic testing. I was thinking he’d want to find out with me and how would we do that when the nurse calls. He decided he just wants her to tell me and then I can tell him but I also thought it might be kind of fun to do a cupcake or something. I’m not sure I’ll be able to wait though. With the others we both found out at the ultrasound together so it’s just kind of strange not to find out together. 

    Random but I’m also really wishing we knew right now because a lot of the moms in our moms groups in town are purging right now and there are so many newborn things but I can’t buy any clothes yet... hoping for next week!

  • @hbird0723 I am really regretting not finding out... I now have to wait until Wednesday. Sigh...😞
  • @Mamaof2beautifulgirls Can you call Monday? If not then hopefully the time flies! I’m sure hoping it does because I’m not sure which day they’ll call next week... assuming next week. They said 7-10 days so I think that means by Friday.

  • @hbird0723 I would definitely think your results would be in by then.
