Baby is the size of a (an): cherry 🍒

(Only If you know already!) Team blue/pink/green: taking sneak peek today! 🙈

Upcoming Appointments: 10/23 (fx I don’t lose my insurance before then!)

How are you feeling?: better! I’m over the hump of my worst sick day. I’ve been making sure I get enough sleep so the fatigue is okay. Nausea still comes and goes but manageable. 

Rants/Raves:  I finally quit my job. Definitely not the way I wanted it to end after 9 years, but I refused to go back there after what happened last week. Now to figure out temp insurance (depending on when they set my term date for will determine if I keep insurance through oct or not). I think my H Is going to get a job now and I will stay home with our son. But If for some reason that doesn’t work out I’ll find one!
rant: my MIL has been kinda passive aggressive/bossy lately which is irritating. Like I know this is her house and all but I can’t stand the passive aggressive-ness. Just ask me to do what you want!! 

Questions: nope

(Only If you know already!) Team blue/pink/green: BLUE! Found out Saturday from sneak peek.

Upcoming Appointments: Oct 26th is next appt, will do NIPT, bloodwork, all the things

How are you feeling?: Good! A bit of mild nausea, especially when taking my prenatal. Almost threw up this morning it was so bad so going to get gummies today. Very tired too.

Rants/Raves: Super excited to be having another boy - I would've been happy either way but I think it'll be fun to have two boys ❤️

Questions: None I can think of

GTKY - what's your zodiac sign? Leo

@virtaur I must've missed what happened last week with your job but good for you! Hopefully you or H finds something better soon. Also sorry to hear about MIL, that would be super frustrating to me too!

@bserena I can’t remember what I’ve shared so maybe I didn’t! Lol basically when I recently moved I didn’t want to stay with the company because I didn’t want to worry about transferring again. But they assured me I would be put somewhere where I could still grow etc. however they put me at a store with a brand new GM (I knew him I was one of the ones who trained him to be a manager two years ago before I moved) yet he’s young and the store is an absolute mess and we butt heads about a lot. So I wanted to quit eventually anyway. However last week I started having a sneezy nose on Thursday, I wasn’t sure if it was just extra pregnancy mucus/allergies so I went to work with a N95. (I worked for a fast-casual restaurant chain). When I started feeling nauseous/not well I told my GM that I wanted to leave but his reply was that he didn’t feel well either so he didn’t send me home. He said I could do office work, which was fine I guess. But then 3 people didn’t show up so he kept asking me to go up front. When I couldn’t help a guest without needing to blow my nose I grabbed my stuff and said I was leaving and walked out. It’s BS how we have a strict policy yet it’s ignored for managers because there’s usually no one to cover us and we’re not allowed to close. So I was
over it! It wasn’t the only reason I wanted to leave but it was the last straw.

Baby is the size of a (an): blueberry 

(Only If you know already!) Team blue/pink/green: I have such gender reveal anxiety. Of course I will love my baby no matter what, but I’ve wanted a little girl as long as I can remember. I can’t imagine my life without one. I’ll do the NIPT in a couple weeks so I should know by November 1. 

Upcoming Appointments: October 6th - this Friday is my first appointment. Praying for good news

How are you feeling?: Super nauseous (esp at night) and tired. I had a couple of mild nausea days this weekend which caused me to panic.  

Rants/Raves: I am just useless these days and it’s so hard to keep up with my 14 month old. Thankfully I have a super mom who helps almost every day with him. 

Questions: Anything anyone has used that is natural and that has actually helped severe nausea? I take unisom but that only does so much and I’m not comfortable with zofran.

EDD 5/9 So 8+4 I guess 

TTM 

Raspberry baby!

Team ?

12 week appt on 10/18. I also get to do an early glucose bc I had GD with my second kiddo. UGH! My odds of having it again are pretty high given my age and having had it before. But fingers crossed I don’t. 

Feeling not great. Bloating. Nausea. Heartburn. Major aversions to everything. Exhausted and irritable. 

No rants or raves today. Or questions.


GTKY: I’m a Taurus. This is gonna be my first kid who will also be, I guess. My other two are both Aries.
