We have been doing a TON of nursery prep this last week, so I've been super excited about that!
Questions:
Nope!
GTKY: What are some things you and your fam are doing to keep sane during the long, sometimes boring, days COVID has brought us? Walking the dogs a LOT, painting the nursery and way too much online shopping 😂
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Pink
Baby is the size of a(n)/fun fact: Weighs as much as an NBA basketball. Growing some eyelashes, eyebrows, and hair this week. Praying that she get's my husband's eyelashes!
Upcoming appointments: April 27th for 28 week GD test. @modoodles looks like we are doing this at the same time- let me know how it goes!
How are you feeling? Overall, ok. Been dealing with some anxieties along with a lot of other people during this time. Have also been dealing with some bad RLP at night.
Raves/Rants: Lots of rants this time around; bear with me.
1. I have been wanting to pick up items at Ikea to finish the nursery.. need some shelving, bits and bobs, and a new light fixture. Because of COVID I'm even hesitant to order for pick up. Not sure when I'll get the nursery finished; this is the perfect time to be doing it since we are both at home for the foreseeable future. A bit bummed for sure.
2. Grieving the potential loss of my baby showers that were supposed to happen in May. My mother-in-law had one planned, as well as my friends. Since this is our first, I'm sad that I won't get to experience this ('2nd baby' baby showers are frowned upon). I'm hoping that if we do cancel, that people will understand and still send us items that we need.
3. Really missing my mother right now. With me in Minnesota and her in Maine and with all of this going on, I just wish she could be here. I worry about her quite a bit, along with my grandparents who are also in different states. If anyone were to get sick, I'm struggling with not being able to rush and be there by their side.
Questions: STM - any advice for GD testing?
GTKY: What are some things you and your fam are doing to keep sane during the long, sometimes boring, days COVID has brought us?
1. Walking, this has been few and far between since we haven't had a good track record with weather lately. The past few days have been gorgeous though so have gotten out multiple times
2. Working
3. Cautiously baked some brownies, and delivered to friends' doorsteps (ding dong ditch! and lots of hand-washing, sanitizing)
4. Re-watching Game of Thrones
5. Reading
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: pink
Baby is the size of a(n)/fun fact: eggplant
Upcoming appointments: Monday!
How are you feeling? Anxious. Physically fine
Raves/Rants: I’m equally bored to tears but not doing anything. As DH says I could start tackling the big spring cleaning checklist I made but the intent wasn’t to do that alone? I also want to start doing nursery stuff just so I can feel like I’m doing SOMETHING, especially now that we won’t have any showers, but I’m waiting till the registry discounts kick in in May. Basically I’m just irritable and depressed and hate everything about this situation for everyone.
Questions: nope
GTKY: What are some things you and your fam are doing to keep sane during the long, sometimes boring, days COVID has brought us? Clearly not much based on my rant above lol. We’ve been spending more time outside when the weather has been nice, like eating on our deck or having a drink on our front porch. That’s honestly about it and I’m going to steal some other people’s ideas
@shaqn0sis girl, I’m right there with you. Totally grieving the loss of all the typical first pregnancy experiences, especially since that’s the one everyone typically celebrates and supports you though. I don’t know what I would do without everyone going through the same thing on TB and for the support of a few friends/ family members checking in on me. Then I feel stupid and selfish because I know people whose treatment cycles got canceled etc but it is what it is.
July 20, 24 weeks and some change.

Upcoming appointments:
I just with my glucose test at 24 weeks. Everything came back great. Next check up is at the end of April.
How are you feeling?
Raves/Rants:
I’m a little annoyed with my coworkers. I’m a teacher, and we are attempting some distance learning right now. I just feel like some of them are expecting entirely too much from students and parents right now. They are frustrated that not many students have turned in assignments. I’m frustrated that they’re expecting most of their students to have turned in work when we literally just assigned stuff MONDAY. I keep reminding them that theirs is NOT the only assignment the student has to complete, and that they are probably sharing devices with their parents and other siblings. Like, relax...it’s going to be ok. But also, how about you not assign students a ton of work each week KNOWING these factors?
Questions:
I can’t have a baby shower because of everything that is happening in the world right now, but I could still really use my friends and families help with some things on my registry. Is it rude to send a message with my registry link and make it perfectly clear that nothing is expected but would be enthusiastically welcomed? What’s the best way to tackle this? When should I post something like that knowing that Amazon is completely backed up with other priority packages right now? Most stuff says it won’t even ship until April 30.

We walk the dogs a lot. I’ve been playing Trivia Crack, Words with Friends, and Candy Crush a lot. I’m also reading Bringing Up BeBe.
@modoodles I'll definitely stay away from eating and drinking those items
@amygray725 I'm feeling the same right now. Since my MIL was planning the family one, I asked her for her advice on the situation and she said that safety is our top priority and will most likely reassess beginning of May.. but with the way things are going I know it probably won't happen. Since we already sent out the invites with the registry link, she's thinking that we will just reach out and ask that they still buy items and send them to us and we can all meet up once it is safe to do so. I have a feeling that most people (we hope) would have some understanding in this situation.
