Interesting Baby Fact / Baby is the size of: an Endive
Upcoming appointments: Today! MFM for a/s and cervical length check. Lab appointment next week for 3 hour glucose.
How are you feeling? Pregnancy-wise I'm feeling okay but my allergies have been flaring the last couple of days. Exhausted the last few days but not really sick at all which is great. I'm still taking b6+unisom and zofran but I'm planning on coming off the b6+unisom at the end of the week.
Rants/Raves: Rave: 2/3 Christmas presents that we were still waiting on showed up today! Rant: The other half of our Old Navy order (clothes for our daughter for Christmas) are still MIA and tracking hasn't updated in 2 weeks (this is the only one that isn't USPS that we were still waiting on. We just contacted them though and they are marking it as lost by carrier and refunding us and if any of the items are in stock they said we can reorder at the sale price we got when we originally bought them so that's nice.
Questions: None.

Quite a few things!
1) Our master bathroom renovation; it's been started but won't be finished for another couple of months.
2) Paying off my husband's car; we're doing this in January and it will relieve one of our car payments for about 6 months but we'll have to buy a van in the summer when the twins start daycare.
3) Our pre-babies family vacation! We are planning a trip to Great Smoky Mountains National Park in early March. We have a cabin for a few nights on the Tennessee side of the park and just booked one for the last couple of nights of the trip on the NC side. We are planning it mostly COVID-safe (no dining at restaurants or shopping except a quick stop to grab an ornament as a souvenir and just generally avoiding people). The only thing that we are planning on doing that involves being around people is a ride on the railroad but as of right now I feel good about the precautions they are taking. We could change our minds by March but we'll see.
4) Getting back to healthy habits. When we were trying to get pregnant with our first a few years ago, I got more and more depressed the longer it took. I used to walk daily, run 3x a week, and do strength training 3x a week and I stopped doing that while ttc/pregnant and I miss the way I felt back then. I gained a ton of weight while ttc our first and while I lost about 20lbs of what I gained, I ended up gaining it back after my father passed in early 2019 and I just haven't been able to get back in the mindset to do it. Since we are planning on this being our last pregnancy, I feel like it just opens me up mentally to getting back on that path.

Rants/Raves: NATM
Questions: Thinking about getting supplies for “mama baskets” in the living room/bedroom and a postnatal basket in the master bath. What should I have in the bathroom one? A peri washer... what else?
GTKY: Besides baby what are you looking forward to most in 2021? OMG so much but mostly plane rides and seeing/hugging family. I haven’t seen them since March and it’s been so crazy to get married and go through pregnancy without them.
