GTKY: what songs have you completely memorized? Any song I’ve ever heard more than once. It’s a gift. What can I say
@mayoduck I think once I have my first ultrasound I’ll just tell them? 😂 I am barely keeping it together over here. I do not have it in me to make a big production out of it.
My friend is due in oct and they gave their daughter a "you're going to be a big sister" book at the end of her first tri. I thought that was really cute.

@mayoduck I can’t decide. I usually wait till I hear a heartbeat but with the birth center that will be past 12 weeks and I’ll be well past showing by then. I have so much bloat right now I’m wondering how many people are already guessing lol. We go to the beach when I’ll be ~11 weeks so I might tell them then. Just something simple. Not anything extravagant.

Concerns/Questions: nah..
GTKY: what songs have you completely memorized? There were so many! I was so into music as a kid. Now I don’t do music. Trying to learn the share market so that I can start securing my children’s financial future. I ask realise how useless my education has been on the financial applications. I encourage everyone to take advantage of the loads of free materials available to improve your financial habits

GTKY: what songs have you completely memorized? Probably a lot of pop from the late 90s and some musicals (Wicked for sure, probably a couple of others.
