GTKY: Poorly describe your job: add and subtract and move around money that a company has.

Questions: Like others, my ObGyn simply said "I'll see you at your ultrasound, no labs needed!" Is anyone opting to order their own labs for peace of mind? If so, I'd be curious to hear what timing you opted for (i.e., when during the pregnancy, how many you did, and how far apart you spaced them).

Baby is the size of a(n): idk, tiny
Team blue/pink/green: (This means what you ARE having, not what you prefer) Green for now! We haven't discussed when/if we'll find out. We already have one of each so I feel like it doesn't matter at all...maybe we'll stay team green.
Upcoming Appointments: June 7th!!
How are you feeling?: mostly fine, just constipated/bloated to the max. I refuse to bust out my maternity clothes when there's no reason I should be showing right now 🤣.
Rants/Raves: We have 2 weddings this month and I'm sad I won't be able to drink bc we haven't been to any weddings in years!!
Questions: NATM
GTKY: Poorly describe your job.
I type numbers in on a rock that has been taught to think. Sometimes I go to meetings and to discuss the numbers I've been typing, or plan to type. Occassionally I help others with rock problems, or who need to know what numbers to type.
(Engineer 😆)

Baby is the size of a(n): Apple seed

How are you feeling?: Sooo tired. I can’t sleep through the night without getting up once to go to the bathroom and I’m sleeping super light. Emotionally I feel so happy to get the chance to be a mom finally.
Rants/Raves: Is anyone else super forgetful this early on? I’ve been forgetting things. For example last night I couldn’t find my phone and it was right in front of my face. This morning I forgot to take something with me to a meeting that my partner had asked me to last night so she wouldn’t have to so of course she was understandably upset with me this morning but I just completely forgot
is baby brain a thing this early?
Questions: Anyone still peeing on sticks? I’m trying to wean myself off. I’m down to only testing every other day and this morning I finally got a really good dye stealer so I think I’m going to stop but I don’t know how I’m going to reassure myself baby is still there until the 26th!
GTKY: Poorly describe your job
I apply adhesive things to booboos and listen to kids stories about how they got sick or injured and decide how to fix them.

I look at your feet and then sometimes slice them open and break your bones.

Baby is the size of a(n): Poppy seed! (cue all the Seinfeld references)
Team blue/pink/green: We found out with our daughter but we'll be staying Team Green this time.
Upcoming Appointments: Follow-up beta happened today, waiting for results and next steps.
How are you feeling?: Completely normal so far...just a little anxious due to previous losses, but trying to be optimistic!
Rants/Raves: My daughter has been MEAN the past few days, and throwing fits/starting power struggles over silly things like WASHING HER HANDS AFTER GOING TO THE BATHROOM. And my husband does NOT handle it well when she talks back/is mean. Lots of angst the past few evenings. But on the good side, she finally kicked the fever and the "coughing to the point of puking" parts of whatever illness she's been fighting...now she just has an old-lady smoker's cough and probably will for a month.
Questions: NATM
GTKY: Poorly describe your job: I try to make it so that people can get around in ways other than driving a car. And so that they don't die just because they want/need to walk or ride a bike. I teach college students to do that too. (And today, I'm giving them a final exam all about it!)
EDD / Weeks + Days: My guess is 1/12 which would make me 5 weeks today
Baby is the size of a(n): I think appleseed
