Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: a chocolate truffle

Upcoming appointments: Jan 7 for the NT scan... still have not been booked into the maternity clinic so getting a little antsy now...

How are you feeling?: Hungry all the time!!! And still tired, was asleep at 8:00 last night lol. 

Rants/Raves:  Welp I could not get myself together enough to bake any cookies this year... so I thought "oh I'll just drive down to the bakery after daycare drop off and buy a box from them, perfect..." AH they are closed Mondays and we're getting a huge snowstorm tonight so I doubt I'll want to be out and about tomorrow morning... I think I'll just suck it up and try and whip up a batch of shortbread cookies today, we don't have any cookies for Santa otherwise I'd just forget about the whole thing LOL.

Questions: NATM

GTKY: What was on your holiday wish list this year? Nothing... I told DH that he WILL be buying me a delivery subscription from my favourite winery as soon as this baby is out (and maybe sooner so that the wine will be delivered already once the baby arrives) LOL - otherwise I really don't have much I want to buy for myself, I got a bit of money this year and can only think of baby items or things for my toddler (FACEPALM)

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

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: the size of a water bottle cap

Upcoming appointments: I had my first appointment this morning. Uneventful basically - did my labs, pelvic exam, breast exam, and signed consent for upcoming tests. One noteworthy thing, in talking about my constant nausea my doctor booked me for an ultrasound this afternoon to make sure I only have one baby in there😳 apparently, having a ton of nausea *could* indicate multiples since obviously you’d have more hormones. So not only am I now anxious just to know the baby is ok in there, but now that there is only one! (Noting that if there is more than one, obviously it will be an absolute blessing - will just be a bit shocked at first lol)

How are you feeling?: still terrible. I usually can get a decent breakfast in (two pieces of toast with two fried eggs and a yogurt), but everything after is a crapshoot. At my appointment today, they checked my ketones in my urine, and I guess I have to do a better job of staying hydrated. Easier said than done when I am puking everyday...

Rants/Raves: I am so so so excited for the ultrasound today (albeit nervous and anxious too), but I am also SO excited to tell our families on Christmas if all goes well! 

Questions: Anyone figure out the magic trick to cure post nasal drip yet? Drowning in it over here...

GTKY: What was on your holiday wish list this year? I would really like an Apple Pencil for my iPad.

@daisy528 so glad you are able to get an ultrasound today!!!  Also definitely keep us posted on if you've got more than one baby brewing in there - I hear you, a blessing but definitely a shock!   I am also still dealing with horrible post-nasal drip - do not have any suggestions. 

Update: Got a call from the maternity clinic finally! Am booked in for January 4 for my first prenatal appointment wahoo! Definitely relieved!

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: chocolate truffle

Upcoming appointments: Dr on Jan 4 and US on Jan 7

How are you feeling?: pretty normal. It seems like I’m getting off even luckier than last time. My appetite fluctuates a lot, foods aren’t so appealing but I’m hungry. Pretty tired but that’s in part due to DD’s motn wake ups. 

Rants/Raves: DH got home yesterday from a 2 week work trip and I’m SO happy to have him home. Travel isn’t a normal part of his work, we have zero local family/pandemic restrictions and it was pretty hellish. I hope he doesn’t do that again anytime soon. 

Questions: natm

GTKY: What was on your holiday wish list this year? We bought ourselves a joint gift: a circular saw 😁 otherwise we took it easy on gifts. It’s been an expensive year.
