All I want is a giant sweet tea. Avoiding it to keep my sugar levels good, but man am I ready for birth so I can down some tea 😋

@amcurls- any way you can brew tea and add liquid stevia instead? That is how I’ve been surviving with low carb and no sugar in my life. That and erythriol for holiday baked goods.

@ttc3y I probably could, but I don’t drink anything requiring liquid stevia enough to want to buy it. I’ll just get it later on and avoid this craving 😬

@ttcy3 I'm all about my hot cocoa with oat milk and stevia lately. ☺️

My youngest (4 1/2) was talking to the baby last night. It was so sweet. She was kicking at him and he would put his ear on my belly and "hear" her. It's like they were playing. He's so proud to be a big brother. All the others got to experience that at age 1 (I know...crazy) but he'll be almost 5. I asked if he's going to teach her things and what. He said "math!" 😆

@seeds_of_joy that’s precious! My almost 5 year old is doing similar things and talks about what he’ll be able to do with her when she’s a big girl like him 🥰

@amccurls that's precious 😍 Such a sweet age to become a big brother!

Anyone else feel like they’ve dropped yet? I’m not 100% sure, but the shape of my belly definitely looks longer / different. But it could also just be the growth. I feel like I’d know if I dropped but I can’t remember from my last pregnancy

@amccurls my baby hasn't made it up to my rib cage so I don't think she dropped. She likes to hang out pretty low. I thought dropping was usually at the end...like last couple weeks? 

amccurls

@seeds_of_joy something I read said it can happen as early as 33 weeks. Maybe she’s just hanging out low as well.
