Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: a strawberry

Upcoming appointments: just had mine on 09/26. Another one on October 12th

How are you feeling?: better than I have. Vomiting seems to be taking a bit more of a back seat, though nausea still prevails. I am EXHAUSTED all the time though.

Rants/Raves: bean looked active and strong heartbeat in the ultrasound. HR 164

Questions: I had a slightly low lymph # in my bloodwork. From my googling (because Dr. Google is, of course, reliable) it can be normal? But I’m not sure, is anyone else experiencing this?

GTKY: If money wasn't an issue, what would you want to be? Not working lol. I would maybe spend more of my time singing, maybe give voice acting a try.

@kaym27 Look into a Belly Bottle for water intake! It's timed out specifically for pregnant woman, and then has a sticker side to track the weeks. Got me through my first pregnancy and I'm using it again. It's great!

juliathebaker

@kaym27 I feel you... when I can actually drink enough that I need to pee it's a win
@leamarai I might have to check that out!
@themamajess during pregnancy I'm loving Soma's wireless bras, for nursing & pumping I lived in kindred bravely. Yes they can be pricey but idk, I need enough support that it's definitely worth it to me. I got some target sports bras at first and it just wasn't comfortable.

Questions: second time moms, when did you start feeling baby? With my first it was like well 16 or 17 (iirc) but I've heard it might be earlier the second time 

GTKY: If money wasn't an issue, what would you want to be? Probably part time at my current job, but with more time for family & home

jtayl962

@juliathebaker I've been wondering this too. I feel like I am feeling some movement now but could be totally wrong.

@themamajess I really am preferring maternity bras. I've been wearing maternity bras since having my daughter 2 years ago

Rants/Raves: I got my NIPT tests results today and thrilled with the results (I’m 36, so considered a higher risk pregnancy)   and we found out we’re having a little girl! I decided to share with my family today and am very very thankful.

Questions:

GTKY: If money wasn't an issue, what would you want to be? I’d love to work in an art gallery or just go back to school forever.

Rants/Raves: not having told our 7 and 4 yr old yet feels weird. So we can only talk sometimes. 

Questions: craving salty things. I’ve lost 11 lbs since week 3. Not gained any Since and sometimes dropping and gaining back a lb or two more. Any ideas for salty calorie rich food? Gluten free only, no peanuts or nuts, 

GTKY: If money wasn't an issue, what would you want to be? I like who I am. If I had more funds I’d get a bigger property and put some small houses for my siblings and parents and have goats. I’m already fully unpaid for all my current responsibilities. Such as caretaking for my grandmom and my parents some, and my family.
