Interesting baby fact / Baby is the size of: Boc of crayons 

Upcoming appointments: 5/8

How are you feeling? It seems like the exhaustion skipped the first tri and decided to make an appearance second tri. Nesting has also started to kick in which I’m not complaining about!

Rants / Raves: we don’t live close to good shopping so we traveled 2 hrs to shop till we dropped on Saturday and man were my ankles swollen when we got home! It had to have been a combo of all the walking and sitting in the truck. 

Questions: nada

GTKY: Aside from necessities, what one thing could you not go a day without?  Currently bagels 🥯

Team Boy/Girl/Surprise: We will find out in 2 weeks!

Interesting baby fact / Baby is the size of: a pomegranate

Upcoming appointments: Ultrasound May 8

How are you feeling? Not bad, a little tired and sore but overall pretty good

Rants / Raves: I have an ultrasound on May 8. I just found out yesterday that our daycare provider needs early pick up on May 8. So now I'm not sure how to make that day work. There's no problem getting time off for an ultrasound and I have enough OT banked to cover the time in the afternoon, but that makes my work day so short. I'm trying to avoid taking a full day because I'm trying to save as much as I can for the end of the pregnancy. And I'm trying to avoid MH taking time off so that he can use the time around this baby being born. I'm sure it will be fine, but that will probably be a 2-3 hour workday...

Questions:

GTKY: Aside from necessities, what one thing could you not go a day without? Do we count coffee as a necessity? That would be my answer.

How are you feeling? 

This nausea is really hanging on and I am over it!

Rants / Raves: so I think my body is falling apart. I'm experiencing gum sensitivity (which I know from my first pregnancy is a symptom blah) and I am just really hoping that it is just that and nothing more. Especially since I ended having to get a root canal during my last pregnancy 😭.
And then today, I opened a door on my toe and I'm pretty sure my toenail is going to fall off. I immediately wrapped it. It hurts soooo much! So now I'm limping after my toddler 😭😭😭

Questions: none

GTKY: Aside from necessities, what one thing could you not go a day without? I am totally with @sawasap on this one: COFFEE ☕️. But coffee does feel kind of like a necessity.

Interesting baby fact / Baby is the size of: an avocado/a taco

Upcoming appointments: May 22nd - 1st immunoglobulin IV // May 23 - OB/MFM

How are you feeling? Pretty good. This pregnancy is going by fast and I don't always remember I'm pregnant 🙈

Rants / Raves: My son has a UTI so this week had been pretty bad and we ended up at the ER last night... can't wait for the weekend. Also I think I may be coming down with a cold or something 🙄

Questions: NATM

GTKY: Aside from necessities, what one thing could you not go a day without? Does my cellphone now counts as a necessity? Anyways I can't go without it and I hate myself for it.

@mimser I'm constantly forgetting I'm pregnant! I had a friend take me out for lunch the other day. When we sat down, I started internally debating about whether or not we should have a drink with lunch before I remembered 😂

Team Boy/Girl/Surprise: finding out very soon, waiting for nipt results

Interesting baby fact / Baby is the size of: lemon

Upcoming appointments: May 7th or 11th for pelvic floor physical therapy. 

How are you feeling? Starting to feel better in terms of nausea and fatigue. I think my belly is starting to feel different. 

Rants / Raves: lab work came back and I low on iron, so I'm now on an iron supplement. Pelvic floor physical therapy wants to meet with me weekly and then biweekly/triweekly for the rest of my pregnancy, so I feel like I'm going to have constant appointments which feels tiring already. (Pelvic floor physical therapy is definitely super helpful though! It helped with incontinence issues after last delivery, but things are changing being pregnant again, oy.) Proud of myself for starting to swap more of my snack choices for fruits, veggies, and protein!

Questions: nope! 

GTKY: Aside from necessities, what one thing could you not go a day without?  My car lately. Not a necessity, there are days when I don't need to leave my house, but I choose to because I hate staying in one place for too long. It's still too cool for bike riding, which is something I am going to miss when/if it gets uncomfortable, because that's usually how I get around more during the summer... jump on the bike, pull the kid trailer to the playground... We'll see how I feel.
