How are you feeling: pretty good! Stilllll dry heaving when I brush my teeth. But if thats all I have to complain about then I think I'm in good shape.
Rants/Raves: Rant it is bleep expensive to buy a house... still haven't ordered any furniture bc we are paying off all the "little" updates we wanted to do! Going from 700sqft apt to almost 4000 sqft anything "little" is actually a massive project 😑 trying to be patient and avoid debt. Rave MH has been very helpful with all the stuff around the house, continues to be very tolerant of my asks, whatever they may be ❤
Questions: None
GTKY: What is your favorite dessert/sweet treat? (stolen from an earlier Nov board) I love funfetti cake! I also love red velvet, apple pie, cookie dough ice cream... pretty much all the classics.

How are you feeling:
Pretty good! Having a hard time in the heat. We had a heat wave over the weekend and kept getting really lightheaded, dizzy, nauseous if I was in it too long. Plus the usual heart palpitations.
Rants/Raves:
Rave: We had DD's 2nd B-day "party" on Saturday. Just our parents and my brother and cousin in the backyard. It was Toy Story themed: "two infinity and beyond." Toy Story is her absolute favorite. We got this 5 foot tall Buzz Lightyear balloon and it's hilarious. I think she had the best time of her life. Rant: My H wants to go to his friends son's 2nd birthday which is next weekend. He was born a day after our DD was. I'm nervous about going because I have no idea how many other people will be there, if it's indoors/outdoors, who's being responsible in social distancing and such. He won't let DD go back to daycare/pre-school, but doesn't seem to see the problem in going to this party.
Questions: Anyone else get super nervous before an ultrasound/dr appointment? I'm so full of nerves today being so excited and anxious for tomorrow.
GTKY: What is your favorite dessert/sweet treat? (stolen from an earlier Nov board) S'MORES!!! Anything S'mores themed is A-OK in my book!

@bearmomma1 Yes! I’m already so anxious about my AS Saturday. I couldn’t sleep last night just thinking about if something comes up. I hope yours goes well! Sending good vibes!
Pretty good, finally getting back into some prenatal workouts after my sprained ankle.
Rants/Raves:
I wanted a pregnancy journal to remember all the "firsts" and stuff and I figured I would wait until we told family and friends because someone was likely to buy me one. Well, no one did and I just remembered this week so I ordered one and now I'm trying to think back to week 6 to write how I was feeling! I'm trying to get all of those early pages filled out quickly before I forget more details! But I really love the journal I bought. I'm a graphic designer so I get pretty picky on random things like fonts and I also didn't want it to be cheesey and too babyish and I'm really happy I found the perfect one!
Questions:
None right now.
GTKY: What is your favorite dessert/sweet treat? Definitely ice cream! I think Blue Bunny banana split flavor is my favorite to buy at a store, but I really love pretty much anything! We have a Culver's down the block from us but we rarely go there since we don't normally eat out often and definitely don't now because of the virus but this question has me craving it now!!
@flip25. Lurking from another week, but I was thinking the same thing about a journal. I am hoping I can go back through the bump weekly posts and see if that helps jog my memory on things. Which one did you get?
@dobiemom11 this is the one I got. The quality is really good too. There are quite a few spots for pictures so now I'm scrambling to find something to put for a first trimester picture since we haven't been anywhere!
Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: Axolotl
Upcoming appointments: Just had anatomy scan, monthly check-in July 27
How are you feeling: Good but tired
Rants/Raves: I'm just over all of the virus stuff. I'm bummed that this will be my only pregnancy and I won't have the support of my friends in-person. I'm sad to be missing out on all the fun stuff and feeling like the only person in the world not going anywhere.
Questions: Anyone else have a low lying placenta?
GTKY: What is your favorite dessert/sweet treat? (stolen from an earlier Nov board) I'm not a huge dessert person but I do love cold peanut butter.
@KateBee I haven’t had my anatomy scan yet, but I have had a low lying placenta/borderline placenta previa at my 20 week anatomy scan with 2 of my 3 previous pregnancies. It wasn’t a big deal though. My OB said that most of the time as the uterus grows up in your abdominal cavity, the placenta will also move up in position as well. I had to have them check again at (I think) 32 weeks, and both times it was was fine. Did they ask you to have another check later?
